Invaders



NPC Invaders: While exploring in Human form, there are certain areas of the game that will trigger an invasion by a NPC Black Phantom. These Black Phantoms will drop some combination of souls, humanity, and items. These encounters will not occur while in Hollowed form, and some will no longer trigger once you have completed certain objectives such as killing a boss. Some NPC Invaders have a non-phantom version of themselves somewhere in the game world.

Player Invaders: Also while exploring in Human form, if you are playing Online your world may be invaded by another Player.


 * To prevent any form for "unfair treatment", there's a level scaling when invading. When you invade, you can only invade players who are anywhere above your level or who are 10 levels or less below you. This way, it's your own fault if you invade a lvl 500 player when you've started the game.


 * After each PvP-battle, a global, invisible clock starts counting down from around 10 minutes. That clock prevents you from being invaded again until it runs out, unless you use the Dried Finger, which resets the clock to 0.

Distinguishing Player Invaders from NPC Invaders: Players may only invade your world while playing Online. NPC Invaders always trigger from exploring in a certain area, and their name will exactly match their non-phantom version from the game world. NPC Invaders will attack on sight, and not stop attacking at any point until either the Player or the Invader is dead. That is to say, NPC Invaders will not make any gestures or stand still during their invasion. Any invader not listed below is a player invader.
