Coop Phantoms can't enter Boss areas

[NightmareGER]

So my problem or a Bug that i am experiencing is that when i summon 1,2 or 3 phantoms that quite often they cannot enter the Boss area.

When i am summond i can enter just fine. Anyone else with the same problem?

[lolschrauber]

Which bosses does that happen?

I had no problems so far with

- Vordt of the Boreal Valley
- Curse-Rotted Greatwood
- Abyss Watchers

I am experiencing this issue at the Deacon of the Deep boss. But also had that problem at the Crystal Sage boss once

I didn't fight either of those yet, maybe it's boss-specific

*Update*

Just had it happen while helping on the Deacons of the Deep boss, after the Host went in i could not acces the fight.

Can't think that there are bosses were you can't get help. Especially if you summon them before the boss.

If it is an area were no summons are allowed ok that makes sense but like that? that is strange.

It definitely is a bug. I meant that maybe the bug is boss-specific. As I said I fought the above listed bosses multiple times and could always take people with me. The two you mentioned, I don't know. Haven't tried them yet.

I had no problem getting phantoms in that arena.
I had one guy fighting the Deacons of the Deep with me, he simply could enter the fog wall.

Happened to me 4 times (I was a fantom) on Vordt of the Boreal Valley. Don't think it is a boss specific thing.

Ok seems indeed like a Bug which can be random it seems.

Have had this happen non stop at the dancer fight. Sometimes I can get in to the boss fight when summoned ( which the summoning happens immediately every time, like there are too many players in the area trying to summon people ), but after I summon someone they cannot enter the fight with me. I am on the same connection that I played DS2 on, and had no issues. I don't have the best internet but it is usually fine for games like this. I noticed it got worse on the lead up to the weekend, perhaps my internet connection mixed with some sort of server load? Not sure, but annoying as hell. All connection settings are default, no mixed region matchmaking enabled.

Just had this happen twice in a row at Abyss Watchers. Summon them right in front of the door, then I look back and you can kinda see them through the fog just running and rolling all confused, trying to get in. Thanks for the wasted embers!

I have had this happen to me on all 3 first boss encounters. I can only get help from NPC phantoms. I am currently using a sorcerer if its a class thing. I might reroll.

Can confirm I've also had this issue, it seems that it can occur on any boss fight. Seems particularly prevalent if the host is sliding around or enters the fog gate by sliding upward. Are you also getting no "Critical battle can now be accessed" issues when this occurs?

[Clone]

Yeah same here with Deacons. I was summoned and couldn't pass through.

[lolschrauber]

It actually happened the first time to me yesterday when being summoned for Abyss watchers. :(

[NightmareGER]

Yeah i can also confirm that it the issue happens if the Host ist not showing animations of walking etc. he slides across the flood and flies up once he enters the Fog, then no message appears that you an enter the foggate.

Really annoying but the bosses sometimes aggro onto the phantoms outside of the Fog. and then it's a lot of cheese happening.
