Do you need to be Embered to summon NPCs?

Introduction

Summoning NPCs, or Non-Player Characters, is a vital part of the Dark Souls experience. However, understanding the process and requirements of summoning can be frustrating for new players. This article will delve into the answers to the question of whether you need to be Embered to summon NPCs in Dark Souls.

Yes, You Need to be Embered

To put it simply, YES, you need to be Embered to summon NPCs. An Ember is an item in Dark Souls that increases the player’s human form and allows them to summon or be summoned for assistance in boss battles.

The Importance of Humanity

To understand why humanity is so crucial, we must look at the nature of NPC summoning in Dark Souls. When a player becomes human, they gain the ability to find and summon other players. Without being human, it’s not possible to use this system. This requirement also means that players need to consume an Ember before they can summon NPCs for co-op or PvP. Additionally, being human while defeating bosses will also lead to gifted souls, allowing you to level up quickly.

The Consequences of Not Being Embered

Conversely, NO, you will not be able to summon NPCs without being Embered. Trying to summon when you are not human will yield nothing, and it is simply not possible.
