Summoning other players to help defeat bosses or just play co-op may not always work out smoothly in Elden Ring. Read on to find out what to do when you can't summon other players!
List of Contents
The common error when trying to summon another player to help you out is Unable to Summon Cooperator. This is frustrating, especially when you would really like help defeating a boss.
One of the speculated reasons for this is because there are so many people on the server and can't establish connections between players properly.
Another reason why you can't summon a cooperator is because other players are also summoning them. This turns the summoning signs into first-come, first-served, where only the ones who can press the summon button the fastest will get their cooperator.
To be able to see summoning signs, you need to use the Furlcalling Finger Remedy. You'll know it's active by looking at your buff bar.
This item can be crafted or bought from Merchant Kale for 1000 Runes.
How to Get Furlcalling Finger Remedies: Effects and Locations
One of the things to do is just simply wait and once a summon sign pops up, hit summon immediately. Alternatively, you can go and clear a few enemies first and then come back later.
If you're playing with a friend and are encountering the error, it's just best to keep trying to summon them.
If you're in an area with a lot of summoning signs, you can go around and spam the summon button on each one and hope that it's successful.
To up the chances of successfully summoning another player, you can go to a place that is likely crowded with summoning signs. These places are usually right outside boss rooms or by Sites of Grace.
