I've just started my first Dark Souls 2 experience and a friend of mine has offered to help out with some of the bosses. I'm trying to summon him for the Pursuer boss fight, but for some reason we cannot connect. I know SL aren't a problem, he's using a SL 30 character whilst I'm using a SL 26 character. The only other thing I can think of is that I'm playing the original DS2 for Xbox 360 whereas he's playing Scholar of The First Sin, also for the 360. Would that make a difference?

What do you mean with "cannot connect"? Do you not find the summon sign? Is there an error when he tries to connect?

I'm playing the original DS2 for Xbox 360 whereas he's playing Scholar of The First Sin
Yes, that's exactly why you can't coop (or invade).
Original DS 2 and Scholar are considered two different games, even with the DLC patch for original DS 2.
I guess the non compatibility issue comes from the fact that enemy placement are different between the two games.
Edit : seems like my answer is right for the PC version but I've stumble on different answer for the consoles version. Will continue to dig.

So my answer was wrong. On old gens (Ps3 / X360) you should be able to connect to one another if the games are on the same release/update.
