Why am i unable to summon cooperator elden ring

Similarly to most other co-op multiplayer games, Elden Ring allows players to summon friends to join quests or help defeat bosses in the game. Unfortunately, players have been encountering problems with this feature more recently, leading them to desperately find a solution.

Typically, players require specific consumable items to reveal co-op summoning signs that allow them to call on cooperators to join them in battle. However, it seems that the "Unable to Summon Cooperator" error occurs even when players have these prerequisites. So, this guide will explain what you can do to fix it.

What is Unable to Summon Cooperator in Elden Ring?

The Elden Ring subreddit has seen several threads regarding the issue over the past few days, with one user writing, "I have tried to summon multiple people, but it keeps failing [...] I actually live in New Zealand, and it's been out for nearly 12 hours."

Accordingly, the player noted that the error occurred despite "plenty of [summoning] signs" available. Additionally, the player pointed out that the issue is "touch and go," with a success rate of about 40%. Other players echoed their frustration, saying that the problem occurred across all gameplay platforms.

But why is this happening, and what can you do to fix it? First, it seems like the problem could result from overpopulated servers. In this case, all you can do is wait for server loads to reduce or check the Elden Ring server status. However, another reason is that this could be a post-launch bug that FromSoftware must patch, in which case you will also have to wait.

Some players on Reddit have offered their solutions, swearing by it; however, these fixes are somewhat questionable.

One user speculates that the error only occurs when players summon friends who another player recently summoned. Another said they could summon allies only after defeating Margit, the Fell Omen.

We doubt this will do much in each of these cases, though. As a last resort, if you've tried everything, you might be experiencing the problem because you have run out of summoning consumables.

In this case, you won't be able to summon a cooperator. Followingly, you can try using a Furlcalling Finger Remedy instead.

How to use Furlcalling Finger Remedy?

To use this method, you need to gather Erdleaf Flowers. These are found throughout the Lands Between; however, a great place to farm them for free is in a bonfire at the northeast starting point of the game, Agheel Lake North.

You should see a giant sword sticking out of the ground. Near the blade, you can freely pick three Erdleaf flowers. Next, fast travel back to your bonfire and then go back to the sword, where the Erdleaf flowers will have respawned. You can repeat this process endlessly until you have enough stock.

You can then craft several Furlcalling Finger Remedies, each costing two Erdleaf Flowers (and endless summon cooperators to help you in your journey). Otherwise, you can purchase it from the Merchant Kale for 1000 Runes, which is a massive ripoff for starting players.

If this doesn't work, at least you learned how to farm unlimited Erdleaf flowers. While the issue is frustrating, we're sure that the developers will release a fix soon.

Earlier today, on 26th February, FromSoftware advised that PC servers for Elden Ring would undergo maintenance, lasting approximately 2 hours starting at 9:00 am CET.

The PC servers for #ELDENRING will undergo maintenance on February 26, 2022. This maintenance is expected to last approximately 2 hours.Maintenance will begin at 12:00 AM PT | 09:00 CET | 17:00 JST

Thank you in advance for your kind understanding.

Elden Ring fans must be looking to play the game with their friends or randoms in co-op, but they are being greeted with the unable to the summon cooperator message in the game.

If you have been playing the game for a while, you might be well aware of the fact that you can call other players to your game using the Furlcalling Finger Remedy. This item allows you to see the summon signs of other players in the game, and then you can choose and call anyone you like to your world. However, it is not going as smoothly as one would expect.

While you will be instantly finding tons of summon signs to summon other players, the moment you click it, you will get an Unable to Summon Cooperator error. This prevents the user you selected from joining your world, and the summon sign will instantly disappear as well. So how do you prevent it?

Well, let’s talk about why the issue happens first. The idea is simple, the player who you are trying to summon has already been summoned by someone else. So that means you can’t summon them, and if you try to, you will get this error.

Now you might be wondering what the fix is. Well, it is very straightforward. You need to make sure that you are summoning the player instantly as the summon sign appears. Delaying it for long will again ruin your chances of being able to call someone. Also, we recommend avoiding using coop at busy hours during the day, since it is at those hours these issues are more prominent, due to the massively more number of players playing than who are willing to help in the coop.

Every time I try to summon someone into my world to play with them I get the message that says unable to summon cooperator. I have tried reseting my internet many times and logging in and out of the game but I still get the same message. I was wondering if anyone here knew why this is happening.

Many players who want to summon friends or other players to join them and beat an area boss are facing a frustrating issue. It’s the Unable to Summon Cooperator error in Elden Ring and if you are wondering how to fix it, here’s everything you need to know.

How to Fix Unable To Summon Cooperator in Elden Ring?

Players are able to see summon signs but when they try to interact with it, they see the Unable to Summon Cooperator message. This is despite having the relevant multiplayer item, so what could be the reason?

Check Elden Ring Server Status

Due to the overwhelming response that the game has received at launch, Elden Ring is getting a huge influx of players. And if you are trying to play Elden Ring online but unable to summon others, chances are that the servers are overloaded or down.

In such a scenario, simply wait for some time and try again. Since the bosses are so challenging to take down solo, you might want to bring in two more players to help you out. But if servers are having trouble, there’s nothing you can do apart from trying to defeat the enemy by yourself.

Check your Internet Connection

The problem, most likely, should be the servers. But just in case it’s something from your end, make sure to reset your router and check again. Use a wired connection for the best experience.

Summoned By Someone Else

Some suggest that you are unable to summon a co-op partner because they were immediately summoned by someone else. If you can’t see summon signs, make sure to use a Furlcalling Finger Remedy. Here’s how to get this item:

• This can be dropped by various enemies like Bloody Finger Nerijus, Recusant Henricus, Hosts of Fingers when invading, Anastasia Tarnished-Eater, Festering Fingerprint Vyke, and more.
• You can also purchase it from Merchant Kalé by spending 1000 Runes.
• Players can explore the Castle Morne area to find this item or you can get it at Stormveil Castle.
• You can also craft it with x2 Erdleaf Flowers which can be easily found.

With a launch, many highly-anticipated games end up having issues related to servers, connection, bugs, crashing etc. But don’t worry, the devs will soon release a patch that should fix a majority of errors you are seeing. Until then you can try visiting other areas in the open world and try summoning people from there (just to see if it works). Also, keep an eye on the official @EldenRing Twitter account for updates.
