id=\"Is_it_Fair_to_Use_Summons_in_Elden_Ring\"><\/span>Is it Fair to Use Summons in Elden Ring?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Absolutely. The use of <strong>summons<\/strong> in Elden Ring is not only fair, but it\u2019s an <em>intended<\/em> game mechanic designed to offer players flexibility in how they approach the game\u2019s challenges. FromSoftware, the developers, deliberately included summons, both <strong>Spirit Ashes<\/strong> and <strong>cooperative multiplayer<\/strong>, as part of the core gameplay loop. To question their fairness is to misunderstand the design philosophy behind Elden Ring, which emphasizes player choice and accessibility.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_Elden_Rings_Design_Philosophy\"><\/span>Understanding Elden Ring&#8217;s Design Philosophy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Elden Ring departs from previous Souls games in several key ways. It embraces a vast <strong>open world<\/strong>, offers a multitude of playstyles, and provides an unprecedented level of customization. The inclusion of summons is directly tied to this philosophy. The Lands Between are a formidable place, teeming with powerful enemies and demanding bosses. Summons provide a means for players of varying skill levels to overcome these challenges, ensuring that more players can experience the entirety of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it this way: Elden Ring is a single-player game. Outside of willingly inviting co-op players, the game is a solo adventure and your decisions are just that &#8211; yours.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summons_as_a_Core_Mechanic\"><\/span>Summons as a Core Mechanic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The game practically throws summons at you from the get-go. The <strong>Spirit Calling Bell<\/strong>, which allows you to use Spirit Ashes, is acquired early. The game features countless <strong>Spirit Ashes<\/strong>, each with unique abilities and strengths. Even the boss arenas are designed with summoning in mind, often including specific areas where summons can be activated.<\/p>\n<p>Radahn, a prominent demigod boss, is a prime example. The arena is littered with <strong>summon signs<\/strong> of various NPCs, explicitly encouraging the player to call for aid. This is not a bug or an unintended consequence; it\u2019s a deliberate design choice. This is where the developers are signalling very strongly that summons are an expected, even desirable part of the experience.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Spectrum_of_Difficulty_and_Player_Agency\"><\/span>The Spectrum of Difficulty and Player Agency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The beauty of Elden Ring lies in its ability to cater to a wide range of players. Some players revel in the challenge of soloing every boss, embracing the intense difficulty and sense of accomplishment. Others prefer to explore the world and enjoy the story without getting bogged down by frustrating encounters. Summons allow players to tailor their experience to their preferences. A player struggling with a particular boss can use summons to even the odds, while a seasoned veteran can choose to forgo them for a more challenging experience.<\/p>\n<p>This spectrum of difficulty is a key element of <strong>player agency<\/strong>. Elden Ring offers numerous tools and strategies, and it&#8217;s up to the player to decide how to use them. There\u2019s no &#8220;right&#8221; way to play the game, and judging others for their choices is antithetical to the spirit of the game. In fact, the Games Learning Society, advocates for understanding games as complex systems of learning and player agency, a principle clearly demonstrated within Elden Ring.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Illusion_of_%E2%80%9CEasy_Mode%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>The Illusion of &#8220;Easy Mode&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some argue that using summons trivializes the game and essentially constitutes an &#8220;easy mode.&#8221; While it\u2019s true that summons can make certain encounters easier, they don\u2019t eliminate the challenge entirely. Bosses in Elden Ring often have aggressive attack patterns, high damage output, and complex movesets. Even with summons, players still need to learn these patterns, manage their resources, and strategize effectively. Moreover, summoning other players <strong>increases the boss&#8217;s health and damage<\/strong>, potentially making the fight even <em>more<\/em> difficult for unprepared players. The game\u2019s core challenge remains intact, regardless of whether or not summons are used.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Addressing_Common_Concerns_About_Summons\"><\/span>Addressing Common Concerns About Summons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite the clear design intent, some players still harbor reservations about using summons. These concerns often stem from a sense of purism or a desire to adhere to an imagined &#8220;true&#8221; Souls experience. Let\u2019s address some of these common concerns:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Using summons is cheating.&#8221;<\/strong> This is simply untrue. Summons are a built-in game mechanic, not a glitch or exploit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;It makes the game too easy.&#8221;<\/strong> Summons can certainly make some encounters easier, but they don\u2019t eliminate the challenge entirely. The player still needs to be skillful and strategic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s not a &#8216;real&#8217; Souls experience.&#8221;<\/strong> Elden Ring is its own game, with its own design philosophy. It&#8217;s not meant to be a carbon copy of previous Souls games.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Soloing bosses is the only &#8216;valid&#8217; way to play.&#8221;<\/strong> This is a subjective opinion, not an objective truth. Players should be free to play the game in whatever way they find enjoyable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Social_Aspect_of_Elden_Ring\"><\/span>The Social Aspect of Elden Ring<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finally, it&#8217;s important to remember the social aspect of Elden Ring. Summoning other players for cooperative multiplayer is a fantastic way to connect with other gamers, share strategies, and overcome challenges together. It\u2019s a collaborative experience that can be incredibly rewarding and enriching. Elden Ring is ultimately a game about exploration, discovery, and shared experiences.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the question of whether or not it&#8217;s fair to use summons in Elden Ring is a moot point. The developers have explicitly included them as part of the game\u2019s design, and players should feel free to use them without guilt or judgment. The Lands Between are vast and challenging, and summons offer a valuable tool for navigating its perils. Embrace the freedom of choice, experiment with different strategies, and enjoy the game in your own way. Whether you choose to summon or not, Elden Ring offers a rich and rewarding experience for all.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs_About_Summons_in_Elden_Ring\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Summons in Elden Ring<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are 15 frequently asked questions related to summons in Elden Ring, providing further clarity and guidance for players:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_1_Do_Elden_Ring_bosses_get_harder_if_you_summon_other_players\"><\/span>FAQ 1: Do Elden Ring bosses get harder if you summon other players?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, summoning other players for <strong>cooperative multiplayer<\/strong> increases the boss&#8217;s health and damage. This is a trade-off, as having additional players can provide more firepower and strategic options but also makes the boss more formidable.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_2_Are_you_supposed_to_use_summons_against_Radahn\"><\/span>FAQ 2: Are you <em>supposed<\/em> to use summons against Radahn?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While not mandatory, Radahn&#8217;s boss fight is specifically designed with summons in mind. The arena is filled with summon signs, and Radahn&#8217;s attacks often target summons, making it a viable strategy to use them as a distraction.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_3_How_often_can_you_use_summons_in_Elden_Ring\"><\/span>FAQ 3: How often can you use summons in Elden Ring?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Spirit Ashes<\/strong> can only be summoned once per encounter and cannot be re-summoned after they die. Cooperative multiplayer summons can be used repeatedly, as long as the players are available and willing to be summoned.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_4_Can_you_use_two_Spirit_Ashes_at_the_same_time\"><\/span>FAQ 4: Can you use two Spirit Ashes at the same time?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, only one type of Spirit Ash can be summoned at a time. Additionally, Spirit Ashes cannot be used during multiplayer sessions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_5_What_is_the_best_summon_for_Malenia\"><\/span>FAQ 5: What is the best summon for Malenia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Black Knife Tiche<\/strong> is often considered one of the best summons for Malenia. Her dodging ability helps her avoid Malenia&#8217;s healing attacks, and her cursed blade move deals significant damage.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_6_Should_I_use_summons_against_Radagon\"><\/span>FAQ 6: Should I use summons against Radagon?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The choice is yours. However, <strong>Black Knife Tiche<\/strong> is also a solid choice for this fight. She can quickly close the distance and inflict substantial damage.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_7_What_level_should_I_be_at_Radahn\"><\/span>FAQ 7: What level should I be at Radahn?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is recommended to be at least <strong>level 70<\/strong> before fighting Radahn, with a powerful weapon suited to your chosen build.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_8_Is_summoning_making_Malenia_tougher\"><\/span>FAQ 8: Is summoning making Malenia tougher?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, while Malenia normally heals when her attacks hit the player, she also heals when she attacks summons in multiplayer. This is part of the trade-off of summons, providing benefit but also allowing her to restore HP even when failing to land a blow on you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_9_What_are_the_risks_of_using_summons\"><\/span>FAQ 9: What are the risks of using summons?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The main risk is that summoning other players increases the boss&#8217;s health and damage.
