Updated on July 15, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah:Elden Ring has a great number of bosseswith various difficulties. It might get overwhelming to try and collect everything as well as defeat the area boss all alone. Luckily, it is possible to summon other cooperators to help with the difficult task. Friends can even use passwords and summon each other to explore the area together, but keep in mind that the progress is valid only for the host. The other player needs to explore everything again in their world.
How To Summon A Cooperator In Elden Ring
There are two kinds of cooperators; a random one and a friend. To summon the former, you need to approach aAbout Summoning Poolsand examine it. Next, use aFurlcalling Finger Remedy, which allows you to see summon signs left by other players. Choose one of them and summon the random cooperator.The Furlcalling Finger Remedy is a craftable itemthat requires twoErdleaf Flower. This flower is found plentiful all over the Lands Between.
As for summoning a friend, the steps are almost the same. Players' friends need to use theTarnished’s Furled Fingerobtained from the beginning of the game to leave a summon sign, and you need to find it to summon the friend.

How To Trade Items In Elden Ring
Before we begin, it’s worth noting thatElden Ringhas a poorly developed item exchange system, as there are no guarantees that you won’t get scammed. There’s no feature or interactive NPC that can fairly conduct trades, so you’ll just have to trust another player if you don’t know them. Thus, it is better to trade with those you know,such as friends or teammates.

If you decide to discard the ninth, the first of the eight on the ground will disappear. In general, it is not recommended to trade in this way. The other player should pick them up immediately to avoid disappearing items or being stolen by other playersin case of an invasion.
Invasion is the main thing you need to consider when trading. If you get killed or are not careful enough, cunning thieves will definitely take advantage of it.

Thus, you will be able to interact exclusively with your friends. This way, you will be isolated from others and can safely throw and pick up items without worrying about thieves.
It is worth noting that there are certain types of items that you cannot trade. Here is a list of them:
However, you may freely trade everything else with other players. Be careful and find a trusted friend to trade with instead of interacting with strangers.
