The online play mechanics in Dark Souls II closely resemble those of its predecessors, featuring familiar elements such as summon signs, invasions, and covenant PvP. However, it's worth noting that there are some differences in this installment. If you find yourself unsure about the intricacies of summoning, invading, or encountering challenges in connecting with other players, the following information provides guidance on these aspects to enhance your online gaming experience.
Summoning allies or invading other worlds is an integral part of the multiplayer experience in Dark Souls II. Understanding the nuances of these mechanics ensures a smoother and more engaging interaction with the game's online community. Read on for insights into the summoning and invasion processes, helping you overcome any hurdles and fully immerse yourself in the interconnected world of Dark Souls II.
- Patch 1.10 added a function to make matchmaking easier: when you're in the warp menu, the areas with multiplayer activity close to your Soul Memory will be outlined in orange.
- Patch 1.10 made it possible for players in NG to connect to players in New Game Plus and beyond.

Dark Souls 2 Online Items
- White Sign Soapstone: Leaves a summon sign on the ground that allows one player to be summoned by another. Obtain by talking to Mild Mannered Pate, an NPC located in the Forest of Fallen Giants. Players are summoned as phantoms into other worlds for cooperative play, and receive a Token of Fidelity for completing a full session. Its effect changes if the player joins the Heirs of the Sun covenant.
- Small White Sign Soapstone: Leaves a small summon sign on the ground that functions similarly to the White Sign Soapstone; except the cooperative session lasts for a shorter time. Obtain by opening a chest upstairs near the Cardinal Tower bonfire in the Forest of Fallen Giants. Players are summoned as shades into other worlds and receive a Small Smooth & Silky Stone for completing a full session. Can also be used to summon you into a world where the boss is dead and the original wouldn't work. Its effect changes if the player joins the Heirs of the Sun covenant.
- Red Sign Soapstone: Leaves a red summon sign on the ground. Players summoned by this sign enter the summoner's world as Dark Spirits (hostile players). Its effect changes if used in certain areas, such as in the King's Passage or a Dark Chasm of Old. Unlike Dark Souls 1, players who defeated the boss in the area can still summon Dark Spirits. Hosts can, however, cancel summons by entering the boss fog wall.
- Dragon Eye: Leaves an eye shaped sign on the ground. Players summoned by this sign enter the summoner's world as Dragon Remnant (hostile players), winner can obtain a Dragon Scale, unlike other summon signs, it can only be used when there's no phantom present, thus provide a guaranteed 1 vs. 1 fight, both host and summoned Dragon Remnant can heal. It can only be used by members of the Dragon Remnants.
- Cracked Red Eye Orb: Immediately invades another player's world as a Dark Spirit. Its effect changes if used in certain areas, such as in the King's Passage or a Dark Chasm of Old. Unlike Dark Souls 1, players who defeated the boss in the area can still be invaded by Dark Spirits. Hosts can, however, cancel invasions by entering the boss fog wall.
- Cracked Blue Eye Orb: Immediately invades the world of a sinner as a Spirit of Vengeance. Sin is accumulated by killing innocent NPCs or killing players using the Cracked Red Eye Orb. Can only be used by members of the Blue Sentinel covenant.
- Name-engraved Ring: This ring greatly extends the wearer's matchmaking range for the White Sign Soapstone and Small White Sign Soapstone items, but blocks co-op play with players who don't share a matching god. The player is given the option to choose a god upon equipping the ring, and may change their god by unequipping and re-equipping the ring.
- Guardian's Seal: Summons the wearer to Way of the Blue covenant members' worlds to defend against invading Dark Spirits. Can only be used by players in the Blue Sentinels covenant.
- Bell Keeper's Seal: Summons the wearer to defend either Belfry Sol or Belfry Luna when another player trespasses into those areas. Can only be used by players in the Bell Keepers covenant.
- Crest of the Rat: Allows a member of the Rat King covenant to defend the Grave of Saints and Doors of Pharros areas by summoning non-covenant members who trespass into those areas.
Multiplayer Time Limits in Dark Souls 2
Summoned and invading phantoms have a limited amount of time before being expelled from the host's world. The decreasing amount of available time is signified by a change in the player's appearance; Their color will become darker as the timer counts down.
In co-op, the time running out for the summoned player is still considered a success and they will be given the same rewards as if they helped the host defeat a boss (not including the boss's souls). Enemies defeated during co-op will subtract additional time, with tougher enemies generally removing larger amounts of time. As a result, players summoned using the Small White Sign Soapstone might only last for a small duration of time, considering the short timer it has by default combined with the time subtracted by killing enemies. Though it is also possible to run out of time using the full-sized White Sign Soapstone, it has a much longer timer and is a lot less common.
In PvP, the time running out on a hostile player is typically not considered a victory for anyone and is more akin to the player having used the Black Separation Crystal to end the session. However, one rare exception may occur when running out of time during a duel in one of the PvP arenas, where it may arbitrarily give one of the players a victory.
The Name-Engraved Ring increases the length of the timer by 50% for every form of multiplayer it works with.
The length of the timers is set as a specific amount of seconds in the data, however for easier readability it is listed out as minutes + seconds in the table below.
| Multiplayer Item / Event |
Phantom Type | Time Limit |
| Small White Sign Soapstone | Shade | 8m 20s |
| Small White Sign Soapstone w/ Name-Engraved Ring | Shade | 12m 30s |
| White Sign Soapstone | Phantom | 66m 40s |
| White Sign Soapstone w/ Name-Engraved Ring | Phantom | 100m |
| Cracked Red Eye Orb | Dark Spirit | 15m |
| Cracked Blue Eye Orb | Arbiter Spirit | 15m |
| Red Sign Soapstone | Dark Spirit | 15m |
| Red Sign Soapstone w/ Name-Engraved Ring | Dark Spirit | 22m 30s |

| Dragon Eye w/ Name-Engraved Ring | Dragon Spirit | 37m 30s |
| Crest of the Rat | Gray Spirit | 10m |

| Blue Sentinels Arena | Blue Spirit Duelist | 10m |
| Looking Glass Knight | Mirror Squire | 15m |
| Dark Chasm of Old PvP | Abyss Spirit | 30m |

| Guardian's Seal | Blue Spirit | (infinite, but session ends when invader leaves) |
Dark Souls 2 Bloodstains
You will occasionally see a bloodstain on the ground. When you stand on it, you can activate it. Doing so will replay the last few seconds of another player's life at that location, ending with their death. The death usually does not take place at the actual bloodstain, similar to how your own bloodstain is usually not precisely where you actually died but rather where you were several moments before. The replay shows the slain player as a phantom, but does not show any other aspect of their death such as what specifically killed them (unless the phantom falls off a cliff or the like). However, much can be inferred from the replay, including possible nearby computer enemies that may be in ambush, or if PvP invaders are particularly active in the area (typically when the phantom is repeatedly circling and attacking, and then backstabbed or slain in only a few hits).
Illusions in Dark Souls 2
Playing while being connected to the internet will cause images of other players to appear. Unlike in Dark Souls they are distinct at all times allowing you to see what weapons they are wielding, their armor, even if they are using items. These phantoms allow the player to know how active an area is since these phantoms seem to be appearing somewhat real time (you might see the same phantom twice doing the exact same things, and you might see a summon sign, and a light blue phantom putting it down afterwards). One cannot interact with them but you may move through them since the other players are not really in your world. If killed they will even be seen dying before completely vanishing, this will possibly lead to a bloodstain being left nearby. Seeing these phantoms the player can get some solace in the fact that other people are going through the same strife and troubles that they are personally facing.
Dark Souls 2 Bonfire Phantoms
Near bonfires (and only near them), the above phantoms of other players may appear more distinct and visible than elsewhere in the game, showing all of their equipment and even whether they are in human form or not. Seeing other people resting at the same bonfire helps players realize that these people are probably facing the same challenges. Testing suggests you are also more likely to see distinct phantoms of those players at or very close to your own level, giving you a helpful sense of how active the area is at your level if you wish to place a summon sign at that bonfire, or look for signs to summon help.
Bonfire Kindling in Dark Souls 2
Players can burn a Human Effigy at a bonfire to prevent multiplayer activity in that area. While active, the player may neither be invaded nor summon until the effect wears off or is canceled at the bonfire. Players can also burn an item named Bonfire Ascetic to raise the difficulty of the surrounding area by one playthrough (if in NG, the area will be equal to NG+), and this effect stacks and can not be reversed.
Dark Souls 2 Cooperative Play
Players can be summoned into another player's world to aid them as Phantoms by leaving a summoning sign with the White Sign Soapstone or Small White Sign Soapstone. A new addition is the ability to voice chat with co-op phantoms. Phantoms are limited by a timer in the host's world. Normal White Soapstone summons last 40 minutes of gameplay. A good fact to note: when you help another player to defeat a boss you will get any replenish-able items and equipment durability back. Estus, any spells, etc. But if you fail to defeat the boss of the area in that person's world you will still be missing any replenish-ables you have used, even in their world. For example, you have 15 out of 30 soul arrows, you place a summon sign and help defeat a boss, when you appear back in your own world you will have all 30 of your soul arrows, same goes with estuses. But if you lose against that boss and used 3 soul arrows you will appear back in your world with only 12, which also goes with estus, replenish-ables and equipment durability.
Covenants in Dark Souls 2
As the player explores the world, there will be certain opportunities which allow the player to make an oath to a person or on a specific subject, which causes them to effectively join a guild called a Covenant. When a Covenant is joined during the game, it will impact interactions with other players online. This could mean that taking an oath for something could make you allies with another player, or deadly enemies. The Covenant system is not an all encompassing fixed alliance like a MMO guild; instead it should be thought of as a system which serves as a guide for active roleplaying. Visit the Covenants page for more information. Generally, membership in a Covenant will afford you certain specific benefits such as a few unique spells or equipment, an increased likelihood of other members of the same Covenant encountering your summoning signs (or you theirs), and more narrative structure to your RPG experience. You are generally able to "rank up" in your chosen Covenant by various means, which typically gives you access to a few additional items, abilities, or spells. Many Covenants also have special online play characteristics that affect whether and how they can invade or be summoned by other players. Covenant choices are not permanent and usually may be abandoned and https://open.spotify.com/track/6qRnJfU6kfizGN3Sl25XHo?si=3bd3a8bc8ee048ferejoined at will.
PvP Covenants in Dark Souls 2
Several covenants are focused on PvP for different purposes, some covenant's goals are defending an area by either invading the trespassers or summoning invaders from other worlds, while the rest are focused on dueling and invasion throughout the rest of the game world. Invasion items are varied, turf-war based covenants use a ring as the invasion tool, while dueling oriented covenant uses eye orbs as the invasion tool, there is also arenas where the victors will have eye orbs awarded to them for victory.

Dark Souls 2 Online Notes and Tips
- When another player is accessing their menu, their character will relax and slouch back their shoulders.
- Support Miracles can be partially cast by holding the button down, where the animation begins and pauses allowing you or another player to have time to get in range of the miracle and then cast when the caster releases the button.
- If you suspect an invader to be using hacks or cheats you can go into your Steam overlay, click on "View Players" in the Friends window, then go into the "Recent Games" tab and you can see the profile of the invader and thus report him for cheating by going to their profile.
- If you are listening to music while playing (PC Only). The music will stop playing immediately on a player joining your game, this can help as an early warning to invaders, although it also happens when you summon phantoms or get summoned yourself.
AnonymousWould be good if there was an option to not get invaded, some people just rather pve at least in their first playthrough.

I know dark souls 2 is old but can you fix it's multiplayer please.
I feel like whenever someone says DS2 has the best PvP, I'm almost inclined to agree with them.
Then I remember the lack of a red eye orb and the need to go farm pigs or going to the Arena and fight a guy that's super overleveled because the game stops deciding to search for players within my Soul Memory range, the whole execution of the Soul Memory system, the Agape Ring ironically making twinks even more threatening.
I will say though that the game has some crazy stuff in it that hasn't been quite replicated in later games, so there's that

Surprised it hasn't mentioned one of the most interesting details of online, which is to say, the swap to Offline:
If your internet connection screws up or disconnects, the game autoswaps to Offline mode, you get a popup stating this, then you play as normal. AKA, no kicking you to the Main menu regardless of what important or unimportant task you may be up to.
Man, if only Team A gave a damn about people who get disconnected at inconvienent times and kept this DS2 mechanic. Dark Souls 3/Bloodborne and so on has proven kicking you out instead of just swapping and letting you play uninterrupted is a PURPOSEFUL decision.

Literally the worst PvP in the entire souls series. Arena is full of lvl 200-250 try hards. Ds1 is the best easy and simple this needs balance.

I was playing with two buddies and we all were in Blue Sentinel Covenant, were on the same soul memory and had similar levels, not to mention that we were using engraved ring with the same god. Even with all that, we only could summon one of us to our world and the other's summon sign kept dissapearing. We deactivated the humanity effect and had the same bosses beaten. Does someone know what's the problem? we were trying to summon each other for the Dark Ornstein fight and restarted the game lots of times but to no avail. Thanks in advanced and will give more info if needed.

Still one of the best soulsborne games. And YES I have played and beat them all. DS1 is meh 3 had a great story but pvp is just gank squads with tears of denial and wonky WA hit boxes. Bloodborne was good but too short (I think it took me all of 12 hours to fully compete it including DLC) and the summoning was awkward as hell. Demon Souls . Again good but not quite up to ds2 and 3 in terms of gameplay (IMO) and Sekiro is a ninja game that's absolutely amazing BUT it's a ninja game so it's not even comparable. My first DS game was 1 and I hated it until I played 2. Anyone wants to play any DS or BB games I play daily on PS4 (since someone stole my xbox discs) (OneBakedWalrus88 is my PSN)

On PC, can you block people on steam & it stops you from dealing with em online? I ran into someone so laggy I thought they where hacking, only for my hits to connect a minute later. I don't want to deal with that again. I know DS3 has it so if you block someone you don't see them in online play. Does DS2 & DSR/DS1 have this?

I've been trying to invade other worlds for a while now but without success... Every summoning/invading item is disabled both when I'm hollow and in human form. I tried going to areas where it was more likely to find players to invade (orange outline in bonfire menu) but nada... Also I never saw a summoning sign anywhere. Am I missing something here? My soul memory is about 300k and soul level 60.
- Anonymous
Really annoying that hollowing doesn’t stop invaders! At least in DS1 you could play online, still see the messages and tips from other players and all not worry about invasions! Never mind “git gud” either - part of that is being able to get through the game without some troll douche canoe repeatedly invading and preventing this! I know it’s part of the game, but the stark options are infuriating!
- Anonymous
Online in this game pisses me off. In DS1 there was the option to play offline. In DS2 you have to play online unless you burn a human effigy. The problem is that the human effigy is what turns you human, which is tied to health bar and npc summons. So if I want to play offline and not lose my souls because I get invaded by someone more powerful than me, I have to sacrifice a consumable which makes it harder for me to play offline because now if I die to a boss I can't turn human and my health bar is shrunk and I can't summon a phantom NPC to help me not get curb stomped by 4 Belfry Gargoyles. I get that some people like multiplayer but in a game that is all about surmounting challenges with strategy, there should be an option to play offline without penalizing you. This is probably the stupidest change they made between one and two.

This game is really annoying when it comes to invading people. I have times where I can invade easily, then after a while I will see nothing but "Unable to find world to invade" nonstop. I ask others if they are playing and they say yeah no problem. Then contact Bandai to see if I have restrictions, they say I have none. This leads me to believe the servers ARE*****! Now that I got that off my chest. I'll go play another game.

I know the name engraved ring is generally for real life friends to more easily summon each other, but is there a popular deity chosen by the general community that is widely agreed upon to allow easier summoning of random strangers? Also as of Feb 2017, is the DS2 original community pretty much dead for steam (aka PC)? I can get a bit of some pvp action on the first iron keep bonfire (on the bridge), but any other pvp or co-op seems pretty much nonexistent to me. I have NEVER gotten the blue eye orbs to work, EVER. I have NEVER gotten the blue sentinels ring to summon me to aid a way of blue member, EVER. I have occasionally gotten some people to be summoned into my world in rat king covenant in doors of pharros, but NEVER grave of saints. The only place I see anything going on is mostly iron keep bridge. Everything else is relatively dead or literally dead. Which really sucks because one character I want to get rat king slumbering dragoncrest ring, and another character I would really like to get all the rewards for sunbros and blue sentinels, but the serious lack of players it seems to me takes the possibility out of those options and makes the game rather dull to play. Did everyone just migrate to scholar of the first sin DX 11? Because this is killing me. And I don't yet have the minimum system requirements to play scholar of the first sin. The game crashes upon startup when I tried. I don't technically meet the system requirements for DS2 original but it still works. Please tell me SOTFS is not so effing dead like DS2 original for online player population.....

Okay so me and my mate started a new game together to try and co-op the game but about half way through we stopped being able to see each others signs... So we thought that it would have something to do with soul memory value and all that but we were roughly the same level and soul memory, that's when things became annoying. We spent hours on end trying to figure out why we couldn't find each other than one of us suggested to try repenting and resetting our sin level, turns out that was the key. So if anybody would like to do the math and work out the sin cap and ***** for being able to see each other that would be awesome as well.

I've read elsewhere that with phantoms present, a host will get 75% of the bosses souls when defeated and all friendly phantoms receive 25%. Regular mobs around the area give 100% of their regular souls to every player present upon being killed. I won't be able to confirm this any time soon, so could someone test this? If it ends up true, it should probably be added in the "online play rewards" section or "online play" (along side the notes with boss health increases and regular mob increase.
My friend and I are doing a co-op youtube series for DS2. We lost the footage for Harvest Valley, so I used a bonfire ascetic to push the game into NG+1 for the covetous demon fight. He did not. Does somebody have to be in the same new game level as you to be summonable?
Because some people asked what to do when you dont want to fight human invaders:
When i get invaded and dont want to fight i simply Alt+F4. If i want to play on i then just restart the game. There is no punishment for this. Its a really nice solution.
If there are people that believe that this is not the correct way to play this game - It is my decision alone who i fight and when.
I totally respect all the pvp lovers out there but i think to have a fair fight both sides should agree on the fight.
