Hosts who summon for bosses: Please follow the phantom's lead / reactions

I'm not saying phantoms should do absolutely all the work or anything, but if you see them backing up from a boss that looks like it might be doing a charge up move, you should follow them.

Sincerely, a sunbro who keeps seeing more than half of his hosts get one-shot by an explosion attack that has a five second warm up beforehand.

The boss's name may rhyme with Shelter Semen.

There is no way to shelter your semen from that boss man.

I mean he's not the easiest boss, but that move has the biggest/longest tell of anything in the game. He practically sends you a message over PSN saying he's about to do it.

Agreed, hes very predictable. I was summoned to fight the old shelter semen and I cannot count hpw many times people have died to the AOE he does.

In addition, if you aren't summoning right in front of the gate, don't run off during the summon. Multiple times in the copse area I've been summoned with no host in sight and no idea what direction to go.

I think this is just because the summon time and loading time for the summoned person are really long now. The host probably thinks it's failed and runs off.

I've done it before but I turned around and started looking for them once they finally spawned in after like 2 minutes.
