Elden Ring WHY CAN'T I SUMMON? (UPDATED Troubleshooter updated guide)

[@slayman4733]

i hate how these devs try their hardest to over complicate everything about this damn game, like why can’t i just join off my friends profile

[@yanki2579]

The fact that we cant summon ashes with a friend is totally normal, matter of fact it’s an important balance thing for the coop/pvp being not too easy

[@robertomcgee5372]

Me and my friend were free roaming in Liurnia at the same level and weapon upgrade and didn’t kill any bosses in a whole session and he wasn’t able to summon me any longer after we came back later by the Grand Lift cuz we were gonna come back to the Madness tower. We haven’t killed any open world bosses or major bosses like Loretta and Rennala. I have only killed them in my world but he hasn’t so he should be able to summon me. It’s definitely not a connection issue because we made new characters and were able to co op once again. Another thing that’s odd is that he wasn’t even able to summon in Caelid when he hasn’t even killed the Nox Twins or even the Magma Wyrm. He summoned me before there now it doesn’t work.

[@DeadHuman-pd6pb]

This is the worst multiplayer system ever designed

[@dollfacedkilla693]

@DeadHuman-pd6pb literally... so can't play with ppl if you've beat the boss (stupid), they can't touch graces and you can't sit at them (STUPID), can't use your horses (wildly inconvenient while roaming with friends), get kicked if you die or kill any type of boss at all (STUPID AF).

100% now I'm no video game designer so I can only speak as a consumer, but the multiplayer system in every other game I've ever played has been easier by a mile. Not to mention having to continually resummon after every death or boss/location is quite possibly the worst decision I've ever seen. I can overlook some of the other cons like the invading and not being able to use the horse but the multiplayer system as a whole in this game is unnecessarily difficult

So along with trash mobs, bosses and gravity being a constant threat, and quests being more difficult to understand than boss fights, multiplayer is also impossibly difficult. So the only ‘easy’ thing in this entire game is the Start menu. Surprised we don’t have to fight some impossible boss just to start the game. Oh, and I just found out the hard way (because what else way is there) that this game doesn’t support cross platform play for multiplayer. So if you’re on PC trying to hook up with a Sony player, so sad, too bad, should’ve played Helldiver. Don’t know if this was in the video, I’m only three minutes in, but I thought I’d mention it. Not bitter.. OK, a little bitter.

Im trying to summon my friend hes level 240 im level 178. I cant see his sign. But i can summon other friends in that same area and also randoms. Its maddening

[@epictreasure]

using a password?

[@onionpits4782]

Yes. We have the same password. It works with everyone but him. He is having the same exact issue. Everyone can summon him except me.

[@HaloNeInTheDark27]

I've been having the same issue for a couple of months now. Have you managed to find a solution? ​@@onionpits4782

I can’t summon or invade anyone no matter what I do all of my signs go out I never get summoned also never get a coliseum fight I never see anyones gold summoning signs anywhere not even on my level 42 I see no signs anywhere I can’t invade anyone with recusing, bloody or festering finger. This problem is terrible I have no idea what to do I have multiple characters but everyone of them can’t summon or be summoned or invade or anything involving multiplayer I can’t participate in. If anyone knows a fix let me know.

[@HoraP79]

No wonder I can't summon anyone anymore... so what the hell is the point of all this if I can't summon someone after I kill a boss...??

[@indridcole7596]

Exactly it’s not even real multiplayer at this point in 247 at the halitree and I can’t get summons

[@thismusicislife2282]

Make sure you’re using the furlcalling finger remedy next to the Statue just outside the door (not at the site of grace) make sure there are no passwords set when you’re trying to get Randoms in

[@An1mixx]

[@unclesteven1126]

Im still trying to figure out why I can play with anyone in the world except my best mate, we’ve been playing these games together since Demon’s Souls,but since DS3 we haven’t been able to summon each other, we know how it works so it’s not a misunderstanding of mechanics, it just fails every time! Even when we go back and try it in DS1R/DS2/DS3 it doesn’t work, fromsoft just doesn’t want us to play together 😢 we’ve changed modems, IP, NAT type, passwords… every solution we’ve been able to find doesn’t work. Anyone else?? We can play any other online game together, just not out favourite

[@RegularJay_]

bro i have the same problem but i summoned my mate and then i cant summon anymore anyone

[@hsn829]

Same here except for ds1 & 2 it was good

[@shawnbrown2726]

Hello I am playing the game solo and I was able to summon ashes perfectly until I fought the bloody invader near the murkwater cave. since then I am no longer able to summon, I have both the spirit bell and enough FP to use the lone wolf ashes. does anyone know if I did anything wrong? any help would be much appreciated.

[@pmagin9399]

You can only summon in specific areas maybe thats the problem

[@boymarauder]

Every time i try to play online it says that i can't because of lack of playstation plus subscription. Do i really need to pay playstation just to progress?
