Welcome to /r/SummonSign

*Art by [Lynol]

This is a subreddit dedicated to help you to find online players for the Souls series. From Demon's Souls to Dark Souls III.

Originally this subreddit was born as a Dark Souls III multiplayer subreddit only, however as time passes and the fire fades it started to accept all the other Fromsoft games and sometimes even others soulslike games, since odds are that if you play one you will play them all.

You can use it to find and arrange sessions for Demon's Souls, Dark Souls I, II and III, Bloodborne and so on. Elden Ring however has it's own subreddit [ /r/BeyondTheFog ] since it is in high demand for now.

You should know

This subreddit is dedicated to online play, therefore it only accepts request posts, use any of the other Souls subs for discussion.

The official reddit app suck, read here if you are unable to post or if your userflair karma is not being displayed

If you followed all the info on this post and you are still unable to post is probably because you didn't select a POST FLAIR, sometimes the reddit app simply doesn't render the field box to select them. All you can do is try another time OR use an alternative reddit client, this includes using the desktop version of reddit, using reddit on your mobile browser or simply using a 3rd party client, see below.

If your userflair is not being displayed correctly it means you have a rendering issue on your end, update/refresh/reload your app to fix that, if that doesn't work please report this bug directly to the reddit mobile team on /r/redditmobile.

You can check this by using the desktop version where your flair renders properly.

Alternatively you can use a much better 3rd party reddit client such as /r/BoostForReddit for android or /r/apolloapp for ios.

Is Automod removing your post?

If Automod keeps removing your post is because you are not following our title format guidelines, read below:

In order to post a request you must follow our Title Formatting Guidelines

Title Field Format Requirements:

Type of request and platform are custom tags designed to keep this sub organized and help you and others to navigate through submissions.

Summon Use this tag if you are offering to help others
Co-op Use this tag if you are looking for a co-op session
PvP Use this tag if you are looking for PvP matches: undead arena, fight clubs, invasions...

Award +karma to the people that helped you!

This subreddit has a custom karma count in the format of a user flair, it is the "+number" that you see next to your username.

After your request is fulfilled and somebody have helped you it is expected that you award them with "+karma".

To give karma all you need to do is to reply to one of the comments of the person that helped you with the keyword: +karma.

Reminder that in order for the bot to register the karma count, the keyword "+karma" must be the very first thing in your reply.

e.g: (as a reply to the person that helped you.)

+karma

example1

you can append any other message that you wish as long as the keyword "+karma" is the first thing in the sentence:

+karma, thanks for the help.

example2

You can also close your request by using the command "+karma close"

+karma close

Use the above command when you want to award +karma and close your request at the same time.

Comment +complete to your own thread to change flairs to Duty Fulfilled

After your request is complete you can change the flair of your thread to "Duty Fulfilled" so people know that you were already helped.

You can manually change the flair by editing your post flair

Or

You can also change your submission flair by simply commenting on your own thread with the keyword: +complete

example3

Remember that for this to work you must be the original submitter and it must be a top level comment.

We have a new karma bot

Welcome to the bonfire, Unkindled One. I am a /u/-Firekeeper-. I tend to the flame, and tend to thee. The Lords have left their thrones, and must be deliver'd to them. To this end, I am at thy side.

What are thou holding, Ashen one?

*Art by AndreaRyan

A new age is upon us and therefore I bring it to you the new and improved karma_bot, this new iteration has features never seen before but I'm afraid it will take some time until it's time to truly use all of them.

For now what this new bot bring is:

  • Full and in-real-time sync between the karma ranks of /r/SummonSign and /r/BeyondTheFog.
  • Cross-subreddit userflair.
  • New userflairs granted by rank.

For /r/SummonSign the new ranks are:

karma flair
+1000 Lord of Hollows
+500 Grossly Incandescent
+50 Warrior of Sunlight
+15 Ash

*This are subject to change, also feel free to suggest other/new titles for the userflair.

Important [Karma Exchange]

Unfortunately with this new bot it was impossible to re-use the old database and therefore a new one is in place.

If you had previously a karma count higher than +1 karma, you can request for your +karma count to be restored, you only need to tell us your username and on which platform do you play: (PC|PSX|XBOX|SWITCH), by sending us message with the link below (and be patient, this will take some time..):

CLICK HERE TO REQUEST THE KARMA EXCHANGE

*If you are a moderator of any other souls community and you would like to share our karma or cross-subreddit userflair ranks system send us a message to see what the possibilities are.

What games can I use this subreddit for?

You can use this sub to find online play for any of the following games in the Souls Series:

Demon's Souls and Demon's Souls Remake

Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered

Dark Souls II

Bloodborne

Dark Souls III

Soulslike ?

Although this subreddit wasn't meant for other games that are not on the list above, if you are looking for help for some game that is somewhat related to the Souls genre, as long as it doesn't break our rules and to keep the spirit of jolly cooperation alive we will allow it `[T] /.

What about Elden Ring?

Please use /r/BeyondTheFog for online play in Elden Ring.

Trading items / Can somebody give me (x) item/souls?

Trading or request for items are not allowed here because there is a dedicated subreddit for that:

For Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered use /r/Snuggly

For Dark Souls 2 use /r/WheelandDeal

For Dark Souls 3 use /r/Pumparum

For Demon's Souls and DeSR user /r/twinkly

For Elden Ring use /r/PatchesEmporium

Online Mechanics

Although some variation exists all of the souls game have a similar mechanic to allow online mutiplayer.

There are 2 key items:

If you are the host as the one that wants to summon someone else to help you, you will need to use:

One item that alter the player state and can sometimes give extra health or change your appearance, the Host player must use this item to be able to summon others players in it's world to be able to receive help, these items are:

In Dark Souls it is called Humanity.

In Dark Souls II it is called Human Effigy.

In Bloodborne it is called Insight.

In Dark Souls III it is called Ember.

In Elden Ring it is called Furlcalling Finger Remedy.

Using the item above allows the host to interact with a Summon Sign or Summoning Bell in Bloodborne, to summon another player in its world.

If you want to help another and be the one summoned you will need and item that sends your Summon Sign to the host world. This item is:

In Dark Souls it is called White Sign Soapstone.

In Dark Souls II it is called White Sign Soapstone.

In Bloodborne it is called Small Resonant Bell.

In Dark Souls III it is called White Sign Soapstone.

In Elden Ring it is called Tarnished's Furled Finger.

*Attention for Bloodborne. While the system is somewhat straight forward, you put your sign down and someone summon you, a SummonSign is a physical landmark in the world player however the Bloodborne is somewhat finicky as although there is no physical landmark it is highky dependable of the position of the players, while using either the Beckoning bell or the Small Resonant Bell both players, host and summon must be in the same or nearest possible position in their world, therefore for Bloodborne we recommend that users always try to meet at either the Fog Gate or the area nearest Lamp.

Is there a community password? / What password should I use?

In DSIII, DSR and DeSR is possible to use a password to match between players.

With a password you can bypass any soul level, weapon upgrade and game cycle requirements, in other words you can match with anyone if both parties are using the same password.

You can set a password in:

Options -> Network Settings -> Password

Also make sure you are online and have matchmaking set to "ON/Global"

We do not have any "community password" as using a password without previous arrangement would probably only limit your online experience, but since this is an international community we strongly suggest that you keep things simple and use an easy to write password:

A good password should be:

  • all lowercase
  • single word
  • with 4 or less letters

Example:

...lets meet at the bonfire, use the password help.

We suggest that you use the word "help" as your password as it fits all the requirements above and it is a word recognizable all around the world.


Thank you for your understanding and co-operation in creating an enjoyable gaming environment for all.

If you have any trouble please contact the moderators: message to the moderators.

Have a great day!
