One of the most useful features in many Soulslike titles is the addition of co-op, allowing friends or strangers to join up with you temporarily for difficult areas or bosses. But in the case of Lies of P, you won’t be able to summon any real people into your game. That doesn’t mean you have to face off against bosses entirely solo, though. Here’s how summoning works in Lies of P.

There is no co-op in Lies of P, but you can summon spectres

Whereas many Soulslike games’ summoning methods are surprisingly cryptic, Lies of P simplifies the process quite a lot. You can only summon a spectre before boss fights to assist you with that single fight–meaning that they’ll disappear once either they or the boss dies.
