Can't Summon New Spectres. PLEASE HELP

I have been experiencing a problem with summoning the new spectres. I know that if they die they are gone for ever. And i have been collecting a bunch of back ups in ssf but when i tried to summon them i keep getting my past spectres. And now i am somehow left with THREE perfect turtle spectres when i just wanted one.


I had multiple back ups of the perfect meatsack and the perfect pain artist, but when i try to summon them i keep getting a perfect turtle summon AND the meatsack or pain artist corpse are now gone... i dont know what to do. i thought it was my fault at first because i would remove the sprectre gem to "unsummon" them, then summon the new one i want, but that didn't work. So i ran a bunch of white maps to collect to ones i wanted AGAIN. So i just left the spectre gem in with 2 spectres already summoned, and when i drop the perfect meatsack i summoned THE FREAKIN TURTLE again. I was okay with it because i had 3 backups in case this happened. I tried summoning the pain artist, and i got a turtle again. I thought it was my hideout messing this up so i went into a map and tried summoning the corpse in the map, but got a perfect turtle again.... Im so freaking confused i dont know what to do, i just want to play the game but stuck in trying to get new spectre loop. I think my character might be bugged or im REALLY DUMB

PLEASE HELP I JUST WANT TO SUMMON DIFFERENT SPECTRES!!!!!!!

I'm having the same issue.

It's not an issue with you. The summoning mechanic with these is so horribly buggy. There are lots of threads with problems, and I've encountered the same thing you have several times (inside and outside of the hideout) as well as using the corpse causes it to vanish entirely.

I've been really hoping to see some form of response from GGG on if fixes are coming, but it's been silent from what I've seen. I was so tempted to switch to trade league to grab a couple of the fancy 'perfect versions', but not with the issues. It's a shame as this is the most fun I've had with spectres in a long time, but the bugs are ruining it.

Hello im having the same issue in February lol.
I finally decided to try the new corpses for Dark Marionette. When I activated from inventory in my hideout the corpse appeared on the ground normally. When I used raise spectre gem with corpse targeting on the Dark Marionette it summoned a herald of kitava. This was super odd but I doubled checked that I had no spell echo or trigger craft on my gear which as I thought I did not. No other corspes were in my hideout other then the one Dark Marionette corpse summoned from the item that I corpse targeted..

I then with a different Dark Marionette item corpse tried to summon it again with raise spectre and somehow got the same darn bug where it showed Dark Marionette on corpse target with no other corpses in area summoning a kitavas herald.

I am now out of 2 Dark Marionette corpse items in my hcssf run, this is very depressing.

It's sad that till now I still have this issues ;( I lost 1 PF SP warior and 4 PF DD Alchemist.
