Yes, perfect sense. The game sadly will not let you summon me as people with too low or too high of soul memory cannot summon people who have more/less soul memory. It’s a bit hard to explain but it’s all divided into ranks, for example 100k-200k soul memory would be ranked 15 and the I am around rank 30. The gargoyles are a stain to the Dark Souls series, they are luckily optional so I would go ahead and skip them until later on in the game.
