Since i see allot of people asking my build i will put the answer here. My build in the video is black knife, deaths poker, and maliketh's black blade. Stats are all 80 except vigor that is 98
So you’re at like level 400~ and still getting matched with other players? i would have assumed you’d be too over-leveled at that point for multiplayer 😲
Thanks for clearing it up. There's some bosses that can 1-2 shot me so I'd rather stay back and deal some minor damage / less aggresive as not to aggro them and ruin the hard work of the player who tank or fight them head on (I was mage build so I was extremely weak) I thought the sleeping guy was at least helping him, but no, he decided to sleep.
@@GrandRiserOfficial yep, literally me on final boss of the dlc, i did almost nothing the whole fight trying not to ruin it for other 2 guys, but tried my best to help
I’ve only summoned players a few times and we usually constantly swapped aggro to get our hits off and make the boss go quicker. I usually like to do a few runs with just my spirit ashes first to see what weapons work the best for the boss, and if I keep getting stuck and just can’t progress the fight, then I’ll summon a player. Sometimes I have gotten greedy and almost thrown the fight with a summon.
The problem is Malenia heals herself every time she hits somebody. I have seen the host brings Malenia back to full health from 1:19 by chugging down flasks after flasks while still inside Malenia attack radius. Hence, requesting help from other players.
@@aihope8350 Playing with help is no problem but that's not helping that's letting others play, if the boss heals herself then you need to dodge, you can play safe on waterflow timings since those oneshot but not playing the rest of the fight if just ridiculous
@@Pod_TM I understand your point, but I also had "The Host of Fingers has died. Returning to your world" message right as I pass through the fog gate...several times, and I was like: What happened?😱
For every "woah, he solo'ed Malenia with increased health" there was the host standing against the wall probably emoting over and over just trying not to get in the way. This is the mentality that **** left, you guys celebrated a real ****. **** Let Me Solo Her.

@@ultimatelegend8306 i love to coop in those games, it creates interesting scenarios both with pve and pvp and even taught me some interesting little details, but the culture of having others "solo" the boss for you shouldnt exist... i still remember funny encounters like finding a character called "little margit" in front of margit's boss fog and managing to get multiple double ripostes in ds3 with my mate, there is nothing gained from having someone else solo for you
@@DIO-qo6tyIt’s true, I was let go of my job, my girlfriend broke up with me, and my parents disowned me for the immense shame I brought to them after it was found out I summoned a friend for Malenia 😢
I mean compared to the others in the series, you have so many more tools to help you win. Just because some losers sit around in co-op, something that has been happening since Demon Souls, doesn’t mean the game is more difficult. And I get it just don’t use those tools, but they still exist to be used in the game so you have to factor them into the difficulty.
@@richizzle39I respectfully disagree but also agree. It is very much easier than the others if you abuse shit like spirit summons, jumping heavy str spam, shield poke, magic & bleed. But harder if you are using shit with OK-ish or less damage. As I've never struggled as hard as I have in any other souls game & sekiro as I have with Malenia, Messmer (though less than Malenia) & the promised consort. Especially the promised consort. Shit tag teamed me both in game and irl. IRL with the flashing bright white lights which triggers my photosensitivity.
happen to me once as well but instead of leaving i did something a bit more mean kind of got the boss (melania) to kill me yes but and him in the end worth it
I help a lot but I actually don't care, cuz calling for help this act itself, suggests they bad at game most of the time anyway. I have plenty of cases when host being lazy actually equals easier for me to kill the boss. Cuz they don't know shit about aggro and stamina control anyway, at least live long enough for me to kill the boss. What I hate the most are thoese "let me solo" copycats, if you don't let them they immediately gone, yet most of them die in the middle of fight too, if I want to see impressive play I go watch a video ok, just kill the boss efficiently.
@@graphemelucid8407except when the "Let me solo her" actually can and you refuse to acknowledge that you intentionally summoned someone whose name not only literally tells you what they intend to do, but also tells you not to fight. That's 100% a you problem Either don't summon them or find one who can back it up. Because chances are, if they left because you started fighting, they can most likely do it and got annoyed you didn't give enough of a shit to actually listen
In DS2-3 I got so tired of getting summoned for boss fights where the host would die when I was just trying to get embered or get free souls that I thought "I don't care if all you do is literally run, your job is to not die" and I was glad if they did so, I can handle the boss. In Elden Ring it's different. Literally just yesterday I was putting my sign down for the swamp mansion boss (don't wanna spoil what it is) because I was struggling against him. First boss in the DLC so far that was giving me trouble so I was practicing this way against him so I could learn his moveset faster, and I land on this host *with a greatshield tank build* who summons only me and then proceeded to stay back the whole time. Meanwhile I'm struggling and idk how he can't freaking tell, but still he does nothing and eventually I ran out of flasks and he just let me die. Then ofc I see him die to the boss while dead before the session even ended. All you could've done is just walk forward with your greatshield and wait, stay safe, draw a grand total of 30 seconds of aggro. Apparently freaking not. I don't have as much incentive to "win" in Elden Ring co-op anymore because I don't feel I get as much out of it as in DS games. Now I just do it for fun, so yeah, if I run into players like these now, I leave. These guys piggy back on us then turn around and say "Malenia was easy"
Yeah I keep getting summoned. One was for Malenia twice. Both times the host died to her Second state starter move. It was the same host too. Some people can't even fight Radragon with 2 other people.
@@christopher961 I don't understand why you'd summon players for a boss like Malenia if you haven't learned how to dodge that or her waterfowl dance yet. If you can survive both but still struggle, np, but otherwise, you're wasting everyone's time
Had this with promised consort 😂 At about 40% health I was like “why is he’s still attacking only me?” And looked around to find the host by the fog gate with binoculars out… left immediately
My bro let someone solo the dlc final boss for him and he was in the discord like “LETS FUCKING GOOOO” i was baffled. I mean i felt bad enough using the antspur fingerprint stone shield cheese but some people really have no shame lmao.
@creeperYT9824 Look I’m all for the let people play how they want but what this dude is saying the guy didn’t even play the game someone else beat it for him.
@creeperYT9824 being carried because you're just as useless in-game as you are in real life is fun for nobody. It's literally just a bragging right to say people completed task for you with the most minimal amount of effort on your part. That's the equivalent of the guy who sleeps on the job getting that promotion you worked hard for and all you got out of that whole endeavor is few crummy cents raise.
I've gotten a lot of hosts like this, it honestly makes me conflicted: I know for certain I can kill Malenia with no sweat, so the host not fucking the fight up is nice. However, the sheer amount of people that just think they can win for free without doing anything is crazy, baffling sometimes
its baffling to me how people buy the game for 70$, 110$ counting dlc, to just sit on their asses and do nothing except for watching other players play for them think about it, those 110$ are wasted, they wasted their money
Solo radagon by myself before I noticed the host was hiding but I thought he just backed up to heal. Watched as in elden beast bro ran immediately and hid, so I went up, pointed down, and left. Bro has all his flasks im sure he did fine 🙂
Meanwhile, I was helping a newbie on Margit with my new char, and we lost just barely one time with like a sliver of hp left, but he ended up calling me again and we had an epic fight where we absolutely obliteratd Margit as I only got hit once lol
Reminds me of DS3 when some dude summoned me for Curserotted Greatwood, of all bosses. It's an easy fight for free runes, and I wanted to practice being a summon since it was my first game. He was obviously a noob too, since he sucked at spacing Phase 2 and kept getting grabbed and dying. Then we had a glitch where I couldn't even enter the arena and was stuck swinging wildly at the fog gate... Being resummoned for the fourth time and both of us immediately doing the "collapse in despair" emote at the same time was the most connected I've ever felt to a stranger I couldn't speak to. We beat the boss easy after that. Hopefully he got better at the game. I wonder if he also remembers the time he summoned Keanu Reaves to help him beat up a tree...
I did this not too long ago. I was helping people with the sunflower boss. And during the 2nd phase I noticed that the phantom was hacking because he took absolutely no damage from the big aoe explosion the boss does and so I just left.
Appropriate. I'll never understand why sheep even bother spending almost a hundred dollars on games just to do absolutely nothing or be braindead cheesy other than to maybe feel a sliver of worth? The only time I ever sat back in a boss fight was the Kos Parasite in Bloodborne, and that's only because I was at half hp, out of vials, out of silver and the person that came to help me was trying their damned hardest after we got it to half hp. So I just did my best to survive and not sully their efforts. Thank you legendary hunter, wherever you are now.
There are some niche excuses, for example, i have a friend who only cares about PVP, like, PVE could not possibly interest him less So he has me kill all the super tough bosses for him so he can get all the remembrance items He has 0 fun engaging in PVE, and just wants to fuck around in PVP, which means i get to fight the bosses twice, and he doesnt have to deal with the bosses, which he doesnt have fun fighting, win-win for both of us
i had something very similar happen with Lud and Zallen, after frigid outskirts i was low on heals so i summoned my 2 buddies and we barely scraped through, i stayed only hitting safe swings while the others tried their best to help me out, eventually they both died and i landed the last couple hits with 10% hp, ill never forget the way we pulled it off
I've seen this kind of behavior while invading. Some hosts will run all the way back to the grace and leave the co-op phantoms to fight me. Then when the phantoms die they just summon someone else. I always wonder why the co-op phantoms even bother when the host isn't willing to play the game.
Honestly fuck it, I hate it more when I invade, and another dude invades and then the other invaded helps the host and his summon fight me, like dude, red on red violence should be illegal, I'm kn your side
@@TaintedTownMusic thats why covenant invasions are great, elden ring pvp kinda sucks because theres no covenants... invading as aldrich faithful or watchdogs in ds3 was such a great experience
I was playing with a friend of mine and were doing Melania in hos ng+2 and were summoning for fun. He uses gamertags and I use character names for multiplayer. He summoned someone and I informed him he summoned "sit and watch". So we did. I don't think he was prepared for what he was walking into though.
I'm petty, I'd stop attacking and waste their time as much as possible. Depending on the character I'm playing, just pull up a greatshield and block forever.
Look, I'm someone who is happy to solo, but my name will SAY that I'm happy to solo. I mean you don't even have to attack, recently I was helping people out with the dlc's final boss and the host just kept shooting the Heal From Afar spell anytime I got hit. Even being 100% passive is viable, just be helpful
i had this too except the heal from afar kept missing and host had low faith so heals were too small, but its still better than sitting on ur ass doing nothing
I would have left too. There are a few cases where, as a summon, I've stepped back and sat on the side lines because another summon decided to solo Malenia (and it was in their name). The only other time I'll leave hosts is for fight clubs (not interested) and a host that doesn't learn how to fight or share hate with their summons after 3 tries. Running into the boss head-on, just because you have a summoned person, and getting 2-shot multiple times is just a waste of everyone's time.
So is leaving like that sure they’re not doing anything but they wouldn’t be much help anyway and i bet if they did try to help and died the people helping would be max that he tried a lot of people do that and tbf the 2 summons had it sorted
@@louieplays9229found the lazy dude who doesn't fight You can leave for any time at any reason. It's part of the fucking game This is basically looking in the mirror when you annoy someone enough to leave and going "Am I wrong? No, all of them are"
There are 3 types of people that summon: 1: legitimately just needs some help with a hard boss/area. 2: someone who needs to get their head checked w/ how horrendously bad they are. They will die within 5 seconds (this is not an exaggeration, 4/10 people I help will die before I even enter the fog gate.) 3: people who let you play the game for them then go on twitter and clown everyone who says a boss is hard. For an extra: People who could easily beat the boss on their own, but are just lazy, I dont mind these people, its nice to fight w/ someone capable of playing the game.
@@nebulittle5697 you forgot the secret one. The trolls. People who summon you only to try and kill you so they can laugh at you in the messages. (Like litraly using a great shield and being like a magnet who is alive, and tries to be a living wall next to you constantly, so a boss can hit you becease they where in your doge window way.) And once you died they teabag you and throw some shit at you. The most rare player to find but they are there waiting for there target
While I don't usually summon, on occasion in the Dark Souls games if I see someone's sign next to a boss I may call them up. I know it can be hard sometimes to get summoned so I like to think I'm helping people get their humanity/embers and Sunlight Medals. In Elden Ring I don't even see other players' summon signs because there's basically no reason to use the Furlcalling Finger Remedy unless you're explicitly trying to do coop, whereas in DS2 and DS3 you got HP bonuses for being in human form/embered so you would see summon signs coincidentally as a result. DS1 there's not much reason to be in human form except to kindle bonfires, but it might still come up on occasion.
@@Greywander87 People just wanna do co-op, it's fun to be able to help people out, thats the only reason I do it. As for those who summon, it's just because some of the less hard-core players that got into elden ring don't have the mental endurance to put in 100 attempts into some random boss. I think that's the response you were looking for.
im prob the extra lmao, i could prob beat the games solo if i tried but im the more laid back type of gamer, i let the knowledge and muscle memory simmer until i can perfect it years into the future, it happened with ds3
I know that feeling and I thank them for it. It's because of them I became a "jack of all trade" boss killer. The downside is that you really can't master the bosses 😞 I'll usually die if it's a boss I rarely get summoned for. But maliketh, radagon/elden beast, Godfrey, rykard, morgott, mohg, fire giant, malenia and even the dancing lion are so easy to beat.
I’ve had this happen to me and he even kicked me out with the boss having 2 hits left in him I guess to make it look like he beat it themself lmfaooo 😭💀
Listen, I summoned a "Let me Solo Her" player when I first fought Melenia, so I knew what kind of contract I was getting into, it was in the name, afterall. But I didn't see any contract here. I could accept hanging back and playing defensively too, you are the host afterall, and if you die, the fight ends for everyone. However, I still expect you to be a part of the fight, pulling agro when you can. Even just casting healing spells are a great help mid-fight if you can, and at least you are trying to help.
Having the host do nothing after summoning 2 people is more infuriating than having the host be aggressive with you and die. Despite having the same outcome, you can still see that the host tries on the second scenario.
I am long time jolly cooperator but Let Me Solo Her kind of ruined it. I see hosts like this all the time and i usually just kite the boss over to them as soon as i notice 😂😂😂😂
This is why I've always felt that your first ever fight with a boss on a character save file, whether it's on the first playthrough or NG+10, should be barred from multiplayer until you can solo it first. I've played games where you HAVE to be able to prove that you can hold your own before you get to play with others and it's really nice knowing that the only people that I'm going to run into are people that can also hang like me.

I have no problem if you cheese the game with op build or weapon or magic. They are all legitimate ways to kill a boss and you shouldn't be a shame but this is shameful and maiden less behavior. I'm helping random in DLC and we are fighting this boss and when I look around the host is nowhere to be found. The only way that I know where he is that the boss accidentally tracked the host while wearing Mimic Veil at the corner of the arena.
Thanks i call it "true death build" using the verry things to cause death to all. But stats aren't specific for this one. I hard capped the build and all the stats are except vigor 80. Vigor is 98
I want to beat malenia but for some reason she's the only boss that has given me that much trouble.. I wanted to try and beat her with either mimic tear or another strong spirit ash but I've had trouble... I did have trouble with maliketh too but I did end up beating him.. The only boss I've summoned another player for help is the twin gargoyles...
@@lololollololol629 my first playthrough long ago i thought it was impossible and i beat her using black knife tiche summon if i recall correctly. but recently I decided to replay the game and beat malenia without any summons and it didnt take as many tries as i thought cus i retained a lot of the muscle memory for her attacks. you really can learn how to dodge her consistently if you give it time and patience hell if you dont feel like learning to dodge waterfowl through trial and error look up how on youtube. its maybe not easy to figure out on your own but once you know how its done its simple
personally I beat her with an occult flamberge at 80 arcane cus staggering with jump attacks as well as applying a good amount of bleed is very very handy... weapons that stagger, apply bleed, or apply frostbite, or a combination of any of those will help a ton
@@lololollololol629 Id say Malenia is better off fighting solo, because then she doesnt heal off your summons Shes a parriable boss, use Carian Retaliation or Golden Parry for best parry frames, otherwise hit and run works just fine
@@Wakasan626 You can cheese malenia with The knife Thine assassin, as it keeps doding out Malenia (And throwing destined death randomly to the boss). Well you can use it to cheese all the bosses really, even in the DLC it seems. It won't solo them out completely, but it helps so much taking aggro from bosses and still staying alive for so long so that every boss is literally couple of tries and you'll kill them. You can get the ashes from doing the Ranni's questline through what allows you to get into area where the small boss resides.
The host had the same experience as the rest of us and did nothing wrong, after all if it's in the game then you're okay to use it no? Wasn't that the argument?
@ Noizzed Sitting there and doing NOTHING is not “having the same experience as the rest of us, you insufferable douche. 🤦 Hey, you know what? The uploader used a severed finger for its “designed purpose” as well, so they “did nothing wrong” either. Let’s see your mental gymnastics for douchey players now. 🙄
100% this is the reason there's a stigma of not Respecting what so ever players who use summons, granted there are host who cant do it aloen they need help snd will put in the effort with help, but guys like this one give all host a bad name.
i had a summon beat malenia for me solo, and to my absolute amazement the legend that was "MALENIA'S CROTCH" managed to spend 99% of the fight not taking damage until literally the final few seconds of her second phase, and they still got the win. i then ran up to them, did the elden ring equivalent of giving them a big wet kiss (just kind of weirdly bowing in their general direction) but at least i was _present_ for it, and all credit to that person for not only doing a solo run while i fearfully ran orbits from a distance, but i was cocking _invested_ in the whole thing for the record the only other boss i've summoned for so far (co-op summons, ashes i abuse to hell and back unabashedly) is Mohg, which i even called a Discord friend up for to try and help, but i ended up beating him solo anyway after i realised that doing co-op was just buffing his health, so... whoops. so, y'know. it kind of balances out edit: i also read further down the comments that this host apparently _summoned you back three times_, what the hell?! at least have the shame to never summon that person again if they don't flawlessly solo the boss like you wanted-
Could be just me, but anytime I put down my summon sign, I have the intention of soloing the boss for people that are stuck on whatever it may be. I always get kinda annoyed when my flow is broken because of an aggro swap from the host poking the boss randomly.
Literally, .. at least change ur build to range if u want someone else to aid u, not simply letting them go alone .. unless ofcoz that person is "let me solo her"
I wouldn't really mind a host doing this with Malenia, I do enjoy fighting her alone But so many hosts I've helped cannot dodge her scarlet bloom at the start of her second phase, they just start running in one direction and she lands directly on them I try my best to agro Malenia enough but it seems to fail most of the time
Tbh, I am tempted to put a summon down just so I don't have to redo the entire game for a single fight. Such a great boss, hope the DLC tops her (I am yet to play it lol)
I've noticed a lot of people playing like this since the DLC dropped, sitting at a comfortable distance spamming ranged and running with their tail between their legs anytime the boss gets too close for their liking. I'm not going to sever, but I'm also not going to try if the host clearly doesn't care about helping.
Helping in the DLC sucks. A lot of them never bothered collecting enough fragments so the bosses take way too long to kill and most times 2 shots them.
I used to hate hosts like that, but then I learned lot of the time the host is running away because they dont want to die and get you sent back and waste your time. As long as they're contributing SOMETHING I'd say at least see the fight to the end.

And well before the dlc was out everything became 80 in stats except vigor that is 98. All for the sake of being able to play with what ever the dlc could give, and being able to play with the weapons, incantations, or new magic. As strong as you can make them
How we go from everyone trying to do no hit runs or lvl1 runs or even speedruns in ds1 to ds3 on the regular, to the average person now literally AFK’ing in the arena. I swear whenever I do CO-OP 75% of hosts are like this now, and 25% of them get instantly one shot out the fog gate. This is in the end game bosses too such as dlc, which is crazy because they got that far without learning any of the games mechanics.
Jesus Christ, I hate when people do that, hey I'm trying to give them a hand as I can too, not do the let me solo her challenge. I remember helping a dude with that dlc boss, and he just stood there looking from far away. Smh, I just quit and helped others instead.
If that was the case why did he tried to hit malenia also before going afk, and why didn't he heal his summons in the fight as a support. That is the least you can do if you are doing an only summons run.
Since i see allot of people asking my build i will put the answer here.
My build in the video is black knife, deaths poker, and maliketh's black blade.

"I dont get why people say this is a hard game"
I mean compared to the others in the series, you have so many more tools to help you win. Just because some losers sit around in co-op, something that has been happening since Demon Souls, doesn’t mean the game is more difficult. And I get it just don’t use those tools, but they still exist to be used in the game so you have to factor them into the difficulty.
Wom wom@@richizzle39
@@richizzle39I respectfully disagree but also agree. It is very much easier than the others if you abuse shit like spirit summons, jumping heavy str spam, shield poke, magic & bleed. But harder if you are using shit with OK-ish or less damage.

Some dude did the same to me once. One of the few cases I used finger severer
happen to me once as well but instead of leaving i did something a bit more mean kind of got the boss (melania) to kill me yes but and him in the end worth it
I help a lot but I actually don't care, cuz calling for help this act itself, suggests they bad at game most of the time anyway.
I have plenty of cases when host being lazy actually equals easier for me to kill the boss.
Cuz they don't know shit about aggro and stamina control anyway, at least live long enough for me to kill the boss.
What I hate the most are thoese "let me solo" copycats, if you don't let them they immediately gone, yet most of them die in the middle of fight too, if I want to see impressive play I go watch a video ok, just kill the boss efficiently.

welp that is the most laziest person in elden ring
"Solo her yourself"
i wonder what reaction itll get when you place ur sign up lol
In DS2-3 I got so tired of getting summoned for boss fights where the host would die when I was just trying to get embered or get free souls that I thought "I don't care if all you do is literally run, your job is to not die" and I was glad if they did so, I can handle the boss.
In Elden Ring it's different. Literally just yesterday I was putting my sign down for the swamp mansion boss (don't wanna spoil what it is) because I was struggling against him. First boss in the DLC so far that was giving me trouble so I was practicing this way against him so I could learn his moveset faster, and I land on this host *with a greatshield tank build* who summons only me and then proceeded to stay back the whole time. Meanwhile I'm struggling and idk how he can't freaking tell, but still he does nothing and eventually I ran out of flasks and he just let me die. Then ofc I see him die to the boss while dead before the session even ended. All you could've done is just walk forward with your greatshield and wait, stay safe, draw a grand total of 30 seconds of aggro. Apparently freaking not.
I don't have as much incentive to "win" in Elden Ring co-op anymore because I don't feel I get as much out of it as in DS games. Now I just do it for fun, so yeah, if I run into players like these now, I leave. These guys piggy back on us then turn around and say "Malenia was easy"
Yeah I keep getting summoned. One was for Malenia twice. Both times the host died to her Second state starter move. It was the same host too. Some people can't even fight Radragon with 2 other people.

@@tenshimohagon7790 No I was a wizard (Azolh I think it was still set to) but char dude sounds cool! lol
Reminds me of DS3 when some dude summoned me for Curserotted Greatwood, of all bosses. It's an easy fight for free runes, and I wanted to practice being a summon since it was my first game. He was obviously a noob too, since he sucked at spacing Phase 2 and kept getting grabbed and dying. Then we had a glitch where I couldn't even enter the arena and was stuck swinging wildly at the fog gate... Being resummoned for the fourth time and both of us immediately doing the "collapse in despair" emote at the same time was the most connected I've ever felt to a stranger I couldn't speak to. We beat the boss easy after that. Hopefully he got better at the game. I wonder if he also remembers the time he summoned Keanu Reaves to help him beat up a tree...
I did this not too long ago. I was helping people with the sunflower boss. And during the 2nd phase I noticed that the phantom was hacking because he took absolutely no damage from the big aoe explosion the boss does and so I just left.
On PC or??

There’s a lot you can learn about people from how they play souls games, and this was just mad entitled icl😭🙏
Appropriate. I'll never understand why sheep even bother spending almost a hundred dollars on games just to do absolutely nothing or be braindead cheesy other than to maybe feel a sliver of worth? The only time I ever sat back in a boss fight was the Kos Parasite in Bloodborne, and that's only because I was at half hp, out of vials, out of silver and the person that came to help me was trying their damned hardest after we got it to half hp. So I just did my best to survive and not sully their efforts.
Thank you legendary hunter, wherever you are now.
There are some niche excuses, for example, i have a friend who only cares about PVP, like, PVE could not possibly interest him less
So he has me kill all the super tough bosses for him so he can get all the remembrance items
He has 0 fun engaging in PVE, and just wants to fuck around in PVP, which means i get to fight the bosses twice, and he doesnt have to deal with the bosses, which he doesnt have fun fighting, win-win for both of us
@@MrToastyYT A shame but understandable, least you both get something out of it. Dark Souls 2 had the best PvP in my opinion
i had something very similar happen with Lud and Zallen, after frigid outskirts i was low on heals so i summoned my 2 buddies and we barely scraped through, i stayed only hitting safe swings while the others tried their best to help me out, eventually they both died and i landed the last couple hits with 10% hp, ill never forget the way we pulled it off
I've seen this kind of behavior while invading. Some hosts will run all the way back to the grace and leave the co-op phantoms to fight me. Then when the phantoms die they just summon someone else. I always wonder why the co-op phantoms even bother when the host isn't willing to play the game.
I hate when I am summoned as a hunter and the host throws out "honor" like the mechanic is I'm here to help, not do the work for you
Honestly fuck it, I hate it more when I invade, and another dude invades and then the other invaded helps the host and his summon fight me, like dude, red on red violence should be illegal, I'm kn your side
@@TaintedTownMusic thats why covenant invasions are great, elden ring pvp kinda sucks because theres no covenants... invading as aldrich faithful or watchdogs in ds3 was such a great experience
I was playing with a friend of mine and were doing Melania in hos ng+2 and were summoning for fun. He uses gamertags and I use character names for multiplayer. He summoned someone and I informed him he summoned "sit and watch". So we did. I don't think he was prepared for what he was walking into though.
I had a summon decide to do this to me, kicked him right before she died
Oh you just know he unsummones the 2nd guy when Malenia was 1 shot away, then took last 5-10s and recorded it to post on reddit or sm
Law of regression goes so fucking hard here, trust
I'm petty, I'd stop attacking and waste their time as much as possible. Depending on the character I'm playing, just pull up a greatshield and block forever.
Look, I'm someone who is happy to solo, but my name will SAY that I'm happy to solo. I mean you don't even have to attack, recently I was helping people out with the dlc's final boss and the host just kept shooting the Heal From Afar spell anytime I got hit. Even being 100% passive is viable, just be helpful
i had this too except the heal from afar kept missing and host had low faith so heals were too small, but its still better than sitting on ur ass doing nothing
I would have left too. There are a few cases where, as a summon, I've stepped back and sat on the side lines because another summon decided to solo Malenia (and it was in their name).
The only other time I'll leave hosts is for fight clubs (not interested) and a host that doesn't learn how to fight or share hate with their summons after 3 tries. Running into the boss head-on, just because you have a summoned person, and getting 2-shot multiple times is just a waste of everyone's time.
I find it harder to be in close combat in coop with bosses since I can’t read moves when everyone is shooting lasers and shit at it.
Yikes. Can’t say I blame you.
i’ve had this happen before with morgott. i just lured the boss to the host and got him killed
Pure Maidenless behaviour
So is leaving like that sure they’re not doing anything but they wouldn’t be much help anyway and i bet if they did try to help and died the people helping would be max that he tried a lot of people do that and tbf the 2 summons had it sorted
@@louieplays9229found the lazy dude who doesn't fight

Can’t blame you, honestly don’t mind people using summons it’s a game feature but if your not even gonna help in any way- yeh bye lmao
when I fall back it's because I had to heal and rebuff then get back to the battle asap. Maybe start casting spells or heal spamming my teamates.
"elden ring is soo easy"
There are 3 types of people that summon:
1: legitimately just needs some help with a hard boss/area.
2: someone who needs to get their head checked w/ how horrendously bad they are. They will die within 5 seconds (this is not an exaggeration, 4/10 people I help will die before I even enter the fog gate.)
3: people who let you play the game for them then go on twitter and clown everyone who says a boss is hard.
For an extra: People who could easily beat the boss on their own, but are just lazy, I dont mind these people, its nice to fight w/ someone capable of playing the game.
@@nebulittle5697 you forgot the secret one. The trolls. People who summon you only to try and kill you so they can laugh at you in the messages. (Like litraly using a great shield and being like a magnet who is alive, and tries to be a living wall next to you constantly, so a boss can hit you becease they where in your doge window way.) And once you died they teabag you and throw some shit at you.
The most rare player to find but they are there waiting for there target
While I don't usually summon, on occasion in the Dark Souls games if I see someone's sign next to a boss I may call them up. I know it can be hard sometimes to get summoned so I like to think I'm helping people get their humanity/embers and Sunlight Medals. In Elden Ring I don't even see other players' summon signs because there's basically no reason to use the Furlcalling Finger Remedy unless you're explicitly trying to do coop, whereas in DS2 and DS3 you got HP bonuses for being in human form/embered so you would see summon signs coincidentally as a result. DS1 there's not much reason to be in human form except to kindle bonfires, but it might still come up on occasion.
@@Greywander87 People just wanna do co-op, it's fun to be able to help people out, thats the only reason I do it. As for those who summon, it's just because some of the less hard-core players that got into elden ring don't have the mental endurance to put in 100 attempts into some random boss.
I think that's the response you were looking for.
im prob the extra lmao, i could prob beat the games solo if i tried but im the more laid back type of gamer, i let the knowledge and muscle memory simmer until i can perfect it years into the future, it happened with ds3
Then you have the cases of people summoning you and literally stand still
I know that feeling and I thank them for it. It's because of them I became a "jack of all trade" boss killer. The downside is that you really can't master the bosses 😞
I'll usually die if it's a boss I rarely get summoned for. But maliketh, radagon/elden beast, Godfrey, rykard, morgott, mohg, fire giant, malenia and even the dancing lion are so easy to beat.
I’ve had this happen to me and he even kicked me out with the boss having 2 hits left in him I guess to make it look like he beat it themself lmfaooo 😭💀
Listen, I summoned a "Let me Solo Her" player when I first fought Melenia, so I knew what kind of contract I was getting into, it was in the name, afterall. But I didn't see any contract here. I could accept hanging back and playing defensively too, you are the host afterall, and if you die, the fight ends for everyone. However, I still expect you to be a part of the fight, pulling agro when you can. Even just casting healing spells are a great help mid-fight if you can, and at least you are trying to help.
Having the host do nothing after summoning 2 people is more infuriating than having the host be aggressive with you and die. Despite having the same outcome, you can still see that the host tries on the second scenario.
I had a host do this once on Melania, and both i and the other summon stood behind him and let Melania do her thing
Why even play the game at this point? Just sad....
I am long time jolly cooperator but Let Me Solo Her kind of ruined it. I see hosts like this all the time and i usually just kite the boss over to them as soon as i notice 😂😂😂😂
"its not cheating if im using in-game features"
This is why I've always felt that your first ever fight with a boss on a character save file, whether it's on the first playthrough or NG+10, should be barred from multiplayer until you can solo it first.
I've played games where you HAVE to be able to prove that you can hold your own before you get to play with others and it's really nice knowing that the only people that I'm going to run into are people that can also hang like me.

They are all legitimate ways to kill a boss and you shouldn't be a shame but this is shameful and maiden less behavior.
I'm helping random in DLC and we are fighting this boss and when I look around the host is nowhere to be found.
The only way that I know where he is that the boss accidentally tracked the host while wearing Mimic Veil at the corner of the arena.
That looks like a really cool build what is it? Int Fth str?
Thanks i call it "true death build" using the verry things to cause death to all. But stats aren't specific for this one. I hard capped the build and all the stats are except vigor 80. Vigor is 98
Seriously dont get it, malenia is an optional boss, if youre bad and cant solo her while not also wanting to coop her, then dont do her😊
I want to beat malenia but for some reason she's the only boss that has given me that much trouble..

hell if you dont feel like learning to dodge waterfowl through trial and error look up how on youtube. its maybe not easy to figure out on your own but once you know how its done its simple
personally I beat her with an occult flamberge at 80 arcane cus staggering with jump attacks as well as applying a good amount of bleed is very very handy...
weapons that stagger, apply bleed, or apply frostbite, or a combination of any of those will help a ton
@@lololollololol629 Id say Malenia is better off fighting solo, because then she doesnt heal off your summons
Shes a parriable boss, use Carian Retaliation or Golden Parry for best parry frames, otherwise hit and run works just fine

You can get the ashes from doing the Ranni's questline through what allows you to get into area where the small boss resides.

their kind are all of a piece, pillagers emboldened by the flame of laziness. i hope that host nevwr beats malenia >:/
"LOL, those casuls can't beat the game and they write negative reviews"
i had a summon beat malenia for me solo, and to my absolute amazement the legend that was "MALENIA'S CROTCH" managed to spend 99% of the fight not taking damage until literally the final few seconds of her second phase, and they still got the win. i then ran up to them, did the elden ring equivalent of giving them a big wet kiss (just kind of weirdly bowing in their general direction) but at least i was _present_ for it, and all credit to that person for not only doing a solo run while i fearfully ran orbits from a distance, but i was cocking _invested_ in the whole thing
for the record the only other boss i've summoned for so far (co-op summons, ashes i abuse to hell and back unabashedly) is Mohg, which i even called a Discord friend up for to try and help, but i ended up beating him solo anyway after i realised that doing co-op was just buffing his health, so... whoops.
so, y'know. it kind of balances out
edit: i also read further down the comments that this host apparently _summoned you back three times_, what the hell?! at least have the shame to never summon that person again if they don't flawlessly solo the boss like you wanted-
Gladly my host never do that😂 almost of them good player but maybe summon player just for fun
Nah, it's the poison throw before leaving that kills me.
Could be just me, but anytime I put down my summon sign, I have the intention of soloing the boss for people that are stuck on whatever it may be. I always get kinda annoyed when my flow is broken because of an aggro swap from the host poking the boss randomly.
I am shit at malenia so i try not to hit her unless theres a clear opening, but even then i heal and buff my co ops this guy just walked away
Bro was taking a tan while you guys went to war.

Whilst the fetid pot had the stronger symbolic meaning, chasing the host with frenzyflame stones could've been fun too.
How is that fun this has to be so boring whats the point of buying the game??😂
I've noticed a lot of people playing like this since the DLC dropped, sitting at a comfortable distance spamming ranged and running with their tail between their legs anytime the boss gets too close for their liking.
I'm not going to sever, but I'm also not going to try if the host clearly doesn't care about helping.
Helping in the DLC sucks. A lot of them never bothered collecting enough fragments so the bosses take way too long to kill and most times 2 shots them.
I used to hate hosts like that, but then I learned lot of the time the host is running away because they dont want to die and get you sent back and waste your time. As long as they're contributing SOMETHING I'd say at least see the fight to the end.

@@Luntgar i don't know what i used honestly. I think i began getting the black knife stats 1st, then trying to get the stats for maliketh's black blade, and death's poker. And then i was like why not every stat incase i wanna change things and play with something better to cause death. And well before the dlc was out everything became 80 in stats except vigor that is 98. All for the sake of being able to play with what ever the dlc could give, and being able to play with the weapons, incantations, or new magic. As strong as you can make them
How we go from everyone trying to do no hit runs or lvl1 runs or even speedruns in ds1 to ds3 on the regular, to the average person now literally AFK’ing in the arena.
I swear whenever I do CO-OP 75% of hosts are like this now, and 25% of them get instantly one shot out the fog gate. This is in the end game bosses too such as dlc, which is crazy because they got that far without learning any of the games mechanics.
Jesus Christ, I hate when people do that, hey I'm trying to give them a hand as I can too, not do the let me solo her challenge. I remember helping a dude with that dlc boss, and he just stood there looking from far away. Smh, I just quit and helped others instead.
that build looks fun, and you got nice drip too!
Maybe he was doing a summons only run?
If that was the case why did he tried to hit malenia also before going afk, and why didn't he heal his summons in the fight as a support. That is the least you can do if you are doing an only summons run.
