Solaire optional for his quest against GARGOYLES?

[Wayf]

Is him optional or do I have to summon him to continue the quest?

[GladiusMalus]

You dont have to summon him for any fight to continue or finish his quest

[Call Sign: Raven]

You have to summon him for every fight that he is available to complete his questline.

[Qwib-Qwib]

You have to summon him for some of the fights he's available in to continue or finish his quest.

[yacabo]

You have to simultaneously summon him for all of the fights and none of the fights in order to continue and finish his quest

For questions like that look up the dark souls remastered wiki and search solaire, you get all the info u need.

[Call Sign: Raven]

Summoning him for most fights, but not all, while ignoring several others, may or may not complete his questline while in NG+17.

Bruh, these answers

he needs to be summoned at the gargoyles and O&S, and you have to get the sunlight maggot. you also need to talk to him the first time and answer yes twice, talk to him again at the anal lundur bonfire, aside from that everything else is optional. some of those steps are technically optional, but either cause him to randomly glitch and never spawn again, or have some kind of other trigger in the game that prevents him from spawning if certain things arent done.


but yes. summon him at the gargoyles and O&S and grab the sunlight maggot, and you should be fine, he should end up at the sunlight altar.

That's if you want him to actually survive to the end of the game.
Arguably, I'd say the ending in which he dies is distinct enough that it counts as a "proper" questline end rather than a "you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, better luck in NG+ lol" type of end, like in the other questlines.
So I'll add that if you want to see his alternate "bad" ending, you'll have to meet him the first time in the Undead Burg, then a second time in Anor Londo (optional), then at his altar back at the Burg, under the Hellkite Dragon.
After that, go straight to Lost Izalith without bothering about picking up the Sunlight Maggot, and you'll get his "bad" ending. Otherwise, do what Chad says and get the Sunlight Maggot from the Chaos Servants shortcut before going to Lost Izalith.
Uhh, I realize this is yet another contradictory answer, but as far as I know, you don't actually need to summon him for any of the fights. I don't remember summoning him, at least, and I see no mention of it on the wikis. Just the very last one, maybe, for a "nice" conclusion to his questline, should you go for the "good" ending.

You can skip summoning him altogether, you just have to meet him at certain points for the questline

He is always a great help for the fights, so I would recommend doing it
