Effigies of the Martyr | Elden Ring Wiki

Effigy of the Martyr
Enables the ability to join summoning pools in the sub-area using the Small Golden Effigy

Effigies of the Martyr (also called "Summoning Pools") are statues usually found in sub-areas to make it easier to place and find summon signs for cooperative or competitive multiplayer. When you use the Small Golden Effigy (cooperative) or Small Red Effigy (competitive), your summon sign will automatically be placed at all Effigies of the Martyr you've activated within the current region or legacy dungeon. They are typically found near Sites of Grace, especially graces at the start of mini-dungeons and legacy dungeons, as well as near notable area boss encounters.

Effigies of the Martyr allow players looking for multiplayer to be summoned more often and in a wider variety of locations. Since the Small Effigy items can be activated anywhere, they also allow players more freedom in single-player adventuring without having to return to a specific location to re-place their summon sign after each summon. However, crossing region boundaries or entering boss rooms will still cancel Effigy summon signs.

Other useful statues found throughout the Lands Between include Stakes of Marika and Rebirth Monuments.

Note: There's currently no way to disable an Effigy of the Martyr once it's enabled, so choose which you enable wisely. If there's a particular dungeon you don't care for, don't activate its Effigy! If you only want to help out with the boss of a legacy dungeon, only activate the Effigy nearest to that boss (or just place a single summon sign with Tarnished's Furled Finger).
