===Attack Patterns===

* Arms around its lower hemisphere will raise swords and start swinging wildly.
* Will kill / wear down players' stamina very quickly if blocking and subsequently kill them.
* The [[ Prisoner]] Horde also crawls towards the player very slowly during this attack.
* Charges up a large [[Soul Ray]] spell. Deals significant amount of [[ Magic]] damage.

==Strategy==
* The player encounters the [[Prisoner Horde]] twice, and he is avoidable each time.
* He looks like a big gray spherical mass of bodies.
* At long range he charges up a blue [[Soul Ray]] spell.
* At close range about six swords appear around him and start swinging wildly as he walks on his stubby legs.
* I suggest just taking him on at range with arrows or magic.
* It takes a while, but he gives decent experience.
* The one in the bloody swamp of 3-2 is protecting some Mercurystones. There is also a [[ Fragrant Ring]] (MP Regen) located nearby.
* '''3-1:''' There is a pillar directly in front of him, which blocks his attacks.
* Stand behind it (about halfway between the pillars in front of you and behind you) and shoot him. * His left side will be exposed, so aim toward your right with arrows or magic. He'll never hit you.
* '''3-2:''' Kill with a bow. Just hide behind some nearby debris and shoot it with arrows between its ranged attacks.

===Attack Patterns===

* They will punch you if ignored for too long.
* Some will slash with a Dagger, with a chance of poisoning.
* A large group can be a danger as an obstruction, especially if you're fleeing from a more dangerous enemy.

==Strategy==
* Remember these guys from Boletaria Palace? They're here too. And, they're somewhat sneakier this time around.
* The 'worshipers' will run up to you, blocking your path, and pretend to praise you, or perhaps they're begging for the release of death? The sneaky dagger wielding guys like to hide in groups of 'worshipers' and stab you when you least expect it. Have your shield raised when you approach a large group and slaughter the lot of 'em.
* Some dagger wielding guys hide in an Iron Maiden ready to poison you. Whenever opening one, you should have your [[ Royal Lotus]] selected just in case.
* Then there are the ones enclosed in man sized pots. They can't do anything unless you release them. * If you'd like, switch your weapon to 2-hand style and hit them with a strong attack. If you're lucky they'll drop some items.

===Attack Patterns===

* The plague babies attack in groups when they come out of the swamp.
* They can quickly surround you and prevent you from moving any further in the swamp, with the plague eating away at you and several of these stabbing you, they can easily kill you if you are unprepared.
* They may also attack every few seconds then retreat.

==Strategy==
* Like their name implies, they carry the Plague. Though you might not notice, what with their chilling in a plague swamp and all.
* When you turn away they sink under the swamp (and do so when you attack them as well) and quickly move up to you to attack.
* Use a Bow.
* If you have [[ God's Wrath]] you can dispatch them very easily.
* These guys are hostile to the [[ Depraved Ones]] in the room.
* By backstabbing and kicking a [[Depraved Ones]] down to solid ground near the edge of the swamp you can distract the Plague Babies. If you have a [[Thief's Ring]] equipped they may not notice you at all, as they congregate near the noisy Depraved Ones.
* They will respawn infinitely, so trying to kill them all won't really accomplish anything
* When [[ Garl Vinland]] and/or [[ Maiden Astraea]] is/are killed, the [[ Plague Babies]] won't respawn.

* If you find yourself overwhelmed by the sluggy masses falling from their nest in 5-2, like if you get stuck at the wall where the item is, reload the game.
* Only the slugs that were on the island originally will be there, so just run on past or take some sluggy vengeance.

|-
|style="text-align: center"|Special || colspan="3" | AoE (melee) || colspan="3" | Magic
|}

===Attack Patterns===

* At close range - release a green energy ball which causes paralysis, followed by a tentacle stab for heavy damage.
* At long range - cast a powerful [[Soul Ray]] spell
* Casts a sonic boom for heavy damage. This is not proximity dependant, but does tend to follow a tentacle stab.

'''Note: They also come in a dreaded Black Phantom variety. This super-charged form fights the same, but does more damage.'''

==Strategy==
* They're easy to spot as they glow and carry a distinctive bell.
* This bell seems to alert the other guards, who will attack if they are nearby.
* These guys tend to kill new players with magic. If you make a direct frontal attack, they will stun you with their magic.
* Only a shield that blocks magical attacks will be effective.
* Fighting magic with magic works fairly well; if they rush you, just keep casting from behind them and they'll drop quick enough (fire magic really messes them up).
* You can also equip the [[Thief's Ring]] and stab them in the back for a critical strike.
* Try using a bow at long range as well, just be ready to dodge their magic spells.

====Melee Strategy====
* If you're a melee player, your best bet is to wear the [[Thief's Ring and hide behind the final pillar in their patrol route.
* As soon as they turn round do a strong attack in their back and then get a fast attack in too.
* As long as you hit them before they start casting they will be staggered, and you can keep attacking as long as your stamina holds out.
* If they start casting before you hit them, roll and pray. (You can also just run up behind them when they in a narrow corridor on their patrol route, you can just just stand behind them without them being able to turn, this can give you an opportunity to position yourself to back stab and think of how you want to deal with them on the ground.).
* Another method of taking them down quickly is to hold a heavy weapon with magic attack power in two hands and use your strong attack (R2) on them, this can take them down in two hits.
* '''3-3:''' You'll notice the Mind Flayers are facing forward and due to the narrow staircase you can't backstab them.
* The best way here is to get close enough so they stop casting their [[ Soul Ray]] , and start casting Paralysis attack.
* You must stand against the inner side of the wall, and keep enough steps distance.
* Even though their attack will hit the wall and miss, they'll still run towards you.
* Hit them hard (R2) once, then quickly roll away to evade their barrier.
* Preferably, if you have a large hammer (Meat Cleaver, [[ Bramd]] , ..), a large axe or [[ Dragon Bone Smasher]] then double-hand it, roll towards them and press R1 for almost-instant (and huge) damage, then quickly roll back.
* Normally, after rolling away, you're close enough for them to do their paralysis attack.. but it will hit the wall again, and they'll run towards you.
* If you have a weapon with knockdown ability, that can also be handy as you should constantly hit them down when they try to get up. The [[ Eternal Warrior's Ring]] helps greatly in this process.

===Alternative Melee Strategy====
* Partially mentioned above, is to get to the range where the flayers stop casting soul ray and try to paralyze you.
* Once they cast their paralysis spell, simply walk backward (holding backward while locked on), and the paralysis spell should dissipate without hitting you, because of it's short range.
* At that point, the flayer will still charge at you, thinking it's spell actually hit.
* Start a power attack as it is running at you, then keep the combo going.
* If you wait too long to start your attack, the flayer will not stagger and will cast another spell and kill you.
* If you cant kill the flayer in one combo, rinse and repeat as needed. Also works on BP's. Tested to NG++.

====Ranged Strategy====
* Similar to melee in that you'll probably want a [[Thief's Ring]] and to be behind them.
* Just pop out an hit them at a distance in the back.
* Before they begin casting, the arrows should stun them for a moment, and combined with their slow turning gives plenty of time to kill them.
* Depending on the range, you probably will not be in much danger of their paralyzing attack.

====Magic Strategy====
* [[Flame Toss]] should finish a Flayer off in 2-3 hits if you have a decent magic stat (2 hits with Magic 23, first hit takes about 2/3rds of its health). Here, you want to use the ]]Thief's Ring]] to observe their path at your leisure.
* The level is designed such that there are almost always places to hide, whether around a corner, through a door, or down a hall.
* Use this time to lock on and time your opening strike - the first hit will generally incapacitate them long enough for you to finish them off without retaliation.
* Consider using the [[ Cling Ring]] as a safety net with low HP or magic defense.
* They are unlikely to have time for more than one spell even if you botch the timing, but that one can be painful if you're not built to soak much damage.

====Miracle Strategy====
* If you have learned the [[Anti Magic Field]] miracle, cast it around you and fight them in melee. They are unable to cast any magic, and thus are rendered helpless.

==Trivia==
Mind Flayers are based off a concept of a Dungeons & Dragons creature of the same name. The stun magic resembles the D&D version's psychic shock that stuns prey so that they can feast on their brains. Also they bear resemblance to Cthulhu, the infamous creation of H. P. Lovecraft.

* Charging attack. Breaks most guards.

==Strategy==
* Their attacks usually consist of a stinger thrust from their mouth and a body rush tackle.
* With a hard shell and high HP, these guys take a beating.
* Try hitting them with Poison or Plague to supplement your damage, also melee attack with magic enchanted weapons (like rune sword) works fine. (Note that there is also a holy mace in the level if you can't find any magic stone.)

===Soulsucker Strategy===
* If you have the spell [[ Soulsucker]] , get near one and kill it instantly.

|}

===Attack Patterns===

* At medium range, he'll throw a Secret Throwing Dagger.
* If the player is hiding behind a shield, he'll deliver a spin kick that breaks guard if you're using a shield with low Guard Break Reduction.
* Close-range attacks are quick and will sometimes combo into a guard breaking kick.

==Strategy==
* Now, these enemies aren't your typical predictable enemies who you can dodge and score a quick combo before they react.
* The Imperial Spies can score a deadly combo on you before you can react.
* '''1-3:''' You'll encounter the first one as you're descending a flight of stairs.
* You probably won't see him until you're halfway down.
* The best strategies is to quickly combo him before he can attack.
* A safer approach is to lure him back up the stairs and into the small courtyard where their ability to score critical hits is decreased.
* You'll encounter three more not too far ahead.
* After killing the [[Boletaria Soldier]] with the crossbow, you'll see a large flight of stairs with an alleyway leading left and 2 leading to your right.
* If you time it well and make a lot of noise, you can lure the first [[ Imperial Spy]] out of the left alleyway, and most likely, the [[Boletaria Soldier]] at the top of the stairs will have pushed his flaming boulder down to crush you.
* If done correctly, the [[Imperial Spy]] killed.
* If you continue up the stairs, a second [[Imperial Spy]] will emerge from the right alleyway.
* Lure him back down into the courtyard where you should be able to kill him without too much difficulty.
* The third [[Imperial Spy]] is optional.
* If you run straight up the alleyway, you won't alert him, but if you take the last right turn into the alley way, the [[Imperial Spy]] will jump down from the roof.
* Try not to get trapped in the passageway and deal with him as quickly as you can.
* '''1-4:''' As you ascend the tower with the two Red Eye Knights, you will be fired on by two crossbow soldiers.
* Run onto their platform and dispatch them.
* A Spy will land on the platform and proceed to attack you.
* If you can, it's best to kill him as he lands or he will likely be a nuisance as you busy yourself with the second [[Red Eye Knight]] further up the stairs.
* Special Note: Spies may temporarily turn invisible since they wear the [[ Thief]] 's Ring.

* Melee thrusting attack.
* Breaks guards of low hit res shields.
* Will hit the player even if standing at the side or back of the spear.
* Spear throw. Very good tracking, thus requires rolling, sprinting or shield block to avoid.

==Strategy==
* These enemies are the ones from 1-1 [[Phalanx|Phalanx demon boss]].
* They have a shield on their front-side, and a long spear which they either thrust or throw, depending on range.
* IF it's possible to hit their backside via rolling or circling, they are a quick kill.
* If they're in a tight corridor however, hacking away, hacking away + turpentine, or firebombs all work quite well.
* From the front they will obviously take less damage; their attacks are capable of being blocked, so always raise that shield when near!
* If you start your player off as the [[Royalty]] class, then you'll have a much easier time killing these guys. Just spam [[Soul Arrow]] at them until they're dead.

===Attack Patterns===

* Horizontal slashes.
* Overhead chop.
* 2-handed horisontal slashes.
* 2-handed heavy overhead chop. Short wind-up.

==Strategy==
* These guys carry massive two-handed cleavers.
* While they are slower and don't roll around, they advance with the cleaver up to block 50% of incoming damage.
* Due to the size of their weapons, they aren't stunned by most attacks.
* They also dish out a lot of damage and use simple combos that can quickly kill you.
* [[Sticky White Stuff]] makes your weapon extremely potent against any gold-armoured enemies.
* A blunt weapon with [[Sticky White Stuff]] on it (or Enchant Weapon) with make short work of these guys.
* Approach slowly and let him begin his massive swing at you.
* Dodge it, then smash him a couple of times.
* Alternatively, you can strike with a heavy attack just as he lets his guard down to attack you and then get in a single quick attack immediately after, then back away until he brings his guard back up and repeat.

* They're actually really easy one to one if you have a weapon with knockdown and a decent shield with a high hit resistance.
* Simply let them strike your shield when doing their basic diagonal slashes and they'll rebound after one hit.
* Simply knock them down with a strike from your weapon, and follow up with another before they can get to their feet.
* For magic users [[Soul Arrow]] does good amount of damage (even in New Game+), but they are immune to Death Cloud.

===Ranged strategy===
* In 4-1, there are 3 golden skeletons, one after the other, on the cliff near the end of the level.
* It is possible to lure them all back to the place where you dropped down to the cliff, right after the narrow path behind the castle wall.
* You can then climb back up in the direction of the narrow path, hopping up three ledges, and the golden skeletons can't follow you up there.
* From this position, you can easily kill them with magic or arrows, without ever even coming close to them or their cleaver.

===Cliff Strategy===
* This makes quick work of them, but gets rid of their loot.
* Just equip a weapon that has a push move (such as a spear), and simply shove them off the cliff.
* Watch out for the Storm Beasts as they like to shoot you while you're dealing with the skeletons.

===Hit and Run! Strategy===
* Essentially if you wear the [[Thief's Ring]] , it makes you undetectable in the fight against these three, so it is recommended.
* You approach them from behind and hit them with an arrow, they will come towards you but about half way to the cliff drop off mentioned above, they will stop and turn around, making them easy targets.
* This works well on the second and third skeleton, but it works pretty good on the first one too. he's just less likely to turn around and walk away though.

* Will spit acid for heavy damage and high durability reduction. Does an animation with head tilted up before spraying.
* Still dangerous when separated from their tail. Don't be fooled.

==Strategy==
* Try to deal with them individually.
* The [[Thief's Ring]] helps.
* Avoid standing directly in front of them.
* Most attacks are telegraphed pretty clearly and are easy to dodge.
* Lock on, circle to the side and start chopping.
* If they begin to rear up, clear the area or get covered in acid.
* Alternatively, just whack em until they drop.
* Two strong blows with a two handed a melee weapon will cause them to lose their tail leaving them easy to finish.

|-
|style="text-align: center"|Melee || colspan="3" | N/A || colspan="3" | Physical
|}

==Strategy==
* They move fairly fast.
* If you can fight them in an open area you can dodge their swings.
* The best bet is to use ranged attacks, and take full advantage of the terrain available.
* ''These guys can't climb'', so backtrack to a place where you have to pull yourself up to get away from them.
''To clear the island with four of them (!) in the poison swamp of 5-2, drop the ramp that leads back to the beginning of the area, then snipe them from this area of raised walkway. With the [[Thief's Ring]] equipped they'll walk back to the island after you stop shooting for a bit. Since you're safe on the shortcut walkway, you might try buffing your attacks with a [[ Clever Rat's Ring]] to save time (Magic Sword "Makoto" helps since it carries a curse that drops 0.5% of your maximum hp/sec).''
* Don't fight them while standing in the swamp. You'll probably get poisoned and they can move quickly through it whereas you can not.
* Always fight from dry land! ''Prepare to die if you don't because you cannot and I repeat cannot dodge at all in the swamp.''
* Eventually, the Giant Depraved One may give up its chase as it gets too far away from its origin point or you get far enough away from it that it doesn't see you any longer, or you'll get to dry land where you can take up the fight.
'''Do not try to melee a Giant Depraved One in the swamp unless you're 100 percent certain that your attack is going to kill it.'''
* If you get a comfortable distance away from it, you can shoot arrows or magic. However, considering that you're probably at the very least poisoned, it's usually best to use that little respite to pop a quick antidote and/or herb instead, and keep on moving.

===Clockwise strategy===
* Lock-on and dodge to the left when he attacks.
* Locking-on and strafing clockwise works if you are really near each other because, more often than not, his arm (during his swing attack) won't do any damage.

===Lava Bow strategy===
* They're weak to fire and dangerous when close, so ranged fire drops them pretty easily.
* Note that they tend to move very quickly once they spot you, and if they get to you when you've got a bow out, you'll usually be in trouble.
* Use a [[Thief's Ring]] or [[Cloak]] to maximize your shooting time. Since no rolling is required, this works in the swamp as well.

===Attack Patterns===
* At a certain range, the dregling will lunge forward, plunging its broken sword to its lower left.
* It will take a slight pause and then start swinging wildly without re-targeting the player.
* Striking the dregling while its in mid-air will deal it additional damage.
* The dregling pulls its right hand back and takes two steps forwards, swinging its sword twice horizontally.
* A piercing heavy attack: The dregling begins by gripping its sword with both hands and then thrusts it forward.

==Strategy==
* These guys are the first enemies encountered.
* They will run at the player, lunge and start swinging. It is quite easy to get behind them for a backstab when out in the open.
* They are very weak, and rarely use their shields (even if they have one).
* Two-handing a weapon should be killed within a few hits. They can and will ambush the player in tight places, often removing the possibility of a backstab.
* The "fire sword" variety does additional damage, which will bypass many shields.
* The black phantom variety does more damage still, however they move at the same pace, and follow the same tactics, and should be easily dispatched.

* At close range, the dog bites multiple times with no precursor animations.

==Strategy==
* You'll hear the kennel barking before you see them.
* They rush you as a group, which can make them very tough if you aren't prepared. One strategy is to use the [[Thief's Ring]] and lure them out one at a time with ranged attacks/items. * Another strategy is to run back to the doorway leading to the first tower and taking them on in the narrow space one at a time.
* Remember that spears can be used to attack while your shield is raised. Or lock on to the lead dog and do a strong R2 attack just before it jumps at you. You'll skewer the lead dog and the one following it.

==Strategy==
''Possible Variations:''
* ''Worshippers (not hostile) in 5-3 only''
* ''Knife wielders''
* ''Flaming Pole wielders''
* ''Shaman''

* Block their attacks and then counter, or just blast them from range at your leisure.
* Be alert for the Knife wielders rush/push combo attack, which can break your guard and push you back.
* Falling off platforms in 5-1 or 5-2 is often fatal.
* '''You will notice at a couple of points that they can play dead!'''
* You may see what looks like a dead body (Dagger wielder) on the ground, but after you walk by, it will stand up and attack you from behind.
* Some of the Knife wielders in 5-2 are surrounded by a small cloud of flies, which makes them harder to see.
* Just press R3 as you walk around looking at stuff and you'll find them.
* The Shamans are in 5-2 and are easily notable because of the bright purple glow that they emit, and the spell they cast which is similar to Poison Cloud.

These creatures' heads resemble the headgear of plague doctors, doctors at the time of bubonic plague or black death, in most every form. This is most likely a reference to newcomers that they have poison and plague. Their skill as doctors is very questionable so there's probably no connection there. Due to the fact that they have poison blades they probably know about the local plants.

===Attack Patterns===

* Rapid fires [[White Arrow]]s from a [[ White Bow]] when you are within range
* Single handed attack using a [[Kilij]] when you are in melee range
* May cast [[Firestorm]] when you are at close range

==Strategy==

====Basic====
* Kill [[White Bow Black Phantom]] '''LAST'''.
''After [[Penetrating Sword Black Phantom]] and [[Scraping Spear Black Phantom]].''
* Lock on and close the distance between you and her by sprinting at an oblique angle to avoid her arrows.
* Use a quick weapon to get in a few hits.
* Leave enough stamina to roll away as she is about to counter. Circle around her as [[ Stamina]] recovers.
* Repeat.
''You can of course use the abundance of cover in the area if you need a breather.''

====Ranged====
''This is it. The ultimate Archer v Archer battle.''
* She does a lot of damage, but you can eat moon grass.
* You have a limited number of arrows, but she'll forget about you if you get far enough away.
''Standing by or behind that weird dead dragon creature is a fairly good spot.''
* She seems to know when you're shooting at her, and will roll.
* [[ Lava Bow]] is good for this battle, as it gives you something she doesn't have - ranged Fire damage.
* Shoot and retreat or shoot repeatedly, but watch out for her rolling away.
* Note: If you can't seem to hit her, walk back over to the archstone, or stop shooting for a bit.
''You may have to back up anyway, if you aren't wearing the [[ Thief]] 's Ring.''
* After a while, if she starts running at you, she is likely about to cast [[ Firestorm]] , and unless you have fairly high [[ Vitality]] , this will hurt.
* Run back to the archstone and repeat the shooting strategy. This could take over 100-200 arrows.

*Try hitting them with [[Poison Cloud|Poison]] or [[Death Cloud|Plague]] to supplement your damage, also melee attack with magic enchanted weapons (like rune sword) works fine.

*(Note that there is also a [[Blessed]] [[Mace]] +1 in [[Valley of Defilement|Valley of Defilement 5-1]] if you can't find any magic stone.)

*'''Soulsucker Strategy'''
::If you have the spell [[ Soulsucker]], get near one and kill it instantly.

====Equipment====

[[Baby's Nail]]

[[Light Crossbow]]

[[Buckler]]

[[Black Leather|Black Leather Set]]

[[Thief's Ring]]

==Attacks==

====Melee====

Strikes with [[Baby's Nail]] combined with [[Buckler]]

====Ranged====

Fires with [[Light Crossbow]]

====Spells====

[[Death Cloud|Plague]]

===Attack Patterns===

* Fires crossbow bolts when you are within range, also when hidden by her [[ Thief's Ring]].
* Switches to [[Baby's Nail]] and [[ Buckler]] shield up close.
* Keeps her shield up, and is also quick to recover after you block her.
''Potentially parries, needs confirmation.''

==Strategy==

===Board & Sword===

* Approach with your shield raised and lock on.
* Try to dodge the bolts rather than deflecting them.
* Avoid running straight at her.
* Once she fires try to close the distance as quickly as possible.
* Get in two or three hits while she is reloading and then retreat with your shield raised.
* Repeat.
* Once her health is depleted to 50% or so, she will start to come after you melee only.
* Retreat all the way back to the ballista with your shield raised. When you reach the ballista, she will then retreat and switch back to the crossbow.
* Repeat the tactic above to catch her during reload.

===Fire Spray===

* Have [[ Fire Spray]] handy when fighting.
* You can easily sidestep the crossbow bolts and continuously attack without worry.
* If the BP starts melee attacks, retreat to the ballista and repeat method until you win.
''In NG+, magic enhancements like [[ Kris Blade]] and [[Ring of Magical Sharpness]] will help, and you will most likely need spice for mp.''

===Poison Cloud===

* If you have [[ Poison Cloud]] , this fight can be considerably easier.
''Having a 100% damage reduction shield here also helps a lot, but isn't completely necessary.''
* Have [[ Poison Cloud]] ready to go as you ascend the stairs.
* When she starts firing, block a few to get the timing right.
* You should have just enough time to get the spell off between her crossbow bolts. Because of its short range, you might wind up putting her into melee range before you can hit her.
* Once you do get her into the cloud, just evade and wait out its damage.
* It should take 2 clouds to finish her off.

===Attack Patterns===

* These guys can be nasty if you're not prepared.
* Their [[Steel Shield]]s will block your melee attacks and can take a lot of hits.
* Their clubs can deal a pretty high amount of damage.
* They usually start out defensively with their shields out, but later will sometimes switch to 2 handing their clubs.

==Strategy==

* Wait for them to get rid of their shields, which makes the fight much easier.
* [[ Magic]] works wonders since they have little defense against it, and it goes through their [[Steel Shield]]s.
* If you have a [[Large Sword of Moonlight]] or a [[ Blind]] , then those work very well too.
* Try to lure them out of the tunnel, as they will devastate you in close combat.

Black Phantoms

2020-05-22T00:55:43Z

Sildara: /* Types of Black Phantom */

==General Information==
A Black Phantom is a special form of some enemy that is stronger and more dangerous than normal. You can easily distinguish a Black Phantom by its appearance; a Soul like black body with a red aura.

Even if it appears to be a human and perhaps even a friend you have met, [[Black Phantoms]] are always hostile and will single mindedly seek your death. [[Black Phantoms]] can also be another Online player who has invaded your world to kill you in [[Player vs Player|PvP]] combat!

Under certain circumstances, some types of enemies and many [[ NPCs]] have a Black Phantom form which appears. Creating the right conditions to encounter and defeat the [[NPCs]] in Black Phantom form is necessary to obtain certain unique items, and therefore earn several of the [[Trophies]].

==Behavior==
Game controlled [[Black Phantoms]] have the same abilities, weaknesses, attack behavior and movements as the normal enemy type which they mirror.

Compared to their non Black Phantom form, they will also have more HP and more powerful attacks. They are also more alert and will pursue more aggressively.

==Types of Black Phantom==
There are different categories of [[Black Phantoms]] which you may encounter. They follow different rules determining when they appear and what the effect of killing them will be.

===Invading Player===
When playing online in Body Form, your game may be invaded by another real player as a Black Phantom.

===When they appear===
Any location in a World, as long as you are Online and in Body Form. Once you clear an area of its boss Demon, you are safe from invasion from that Archstone backward.

===Instance===
as above

===Result when destroyed===
Shifts your [[World Tendency]] and [[Character Tendency]] towards [[Character_Tendency#Pure_White|White]]

==Black World Tendency (additional enemy)==

===When they appear===
Each time you enter the world with Black or Pure Black [[World Tendency]], these [[Black Phantoms]] appear in addition to the usual foe.

===Instance===

* 1-1 [[Blue Eye Knight]]s
* 1-2 [[Blue Eye Knight]]s
* 1-3 [[Fat Official]]s
* 2-1 [[ Scale Miners]]
* 2-2 [[Bearbug]]s
* 3-1 [[Mind Flayer]]s
* 3-2 [[Giant Man Centipede]]
* 4-1 [[Silver Skeleton]]s and [[Gold Skeleton]]s
* 4-2 [[Gold Skeleton]]s and [[Black Skeleton]]
* 5-1 [[Depraved Ones]]
* 5-2 [[Giant Depraved Ones]]

===Result when destroyed===
Guaranteed to drop an item

==Named Pure Black World Tendency NPC==
Black Phantom forms of NPCs which you may encounter in Body Form at other times.

===When they appear===
If [[World Tendency]] is Pure Black. They will not reappear after being killed.

===Instance===

* 1-1 [[Executioner Miralda]]
* 2-2 [[Scirvir, The Wanderer]]
* 3-1 [[Lord Rydell]]
* 4-1 [[Satsuki]]
* 5-2 [[Selen Vinland]]

===Result when destroyed===

Strongly shifts your [[World Tendency]] and [[Character Tendency]] towards [[Character_Tendency#Pure_White|White]], but '''only''', if directly killed by the player.

Other damage (poison, falling etc) do '''not''' count towards changing [[Character Tendency]]. The death of the phantom unavoidably changes [[World Tendency]].

==Nameless NPC==

These are NPC [[Black Phantoms]] that you will always encounter in a specific location in each World.

===When they appear===

Always appear in each playthrough. They will not reappear after being killed.

===Instance===

* 1-4 [[ Penetrating Sword]] Black Phantom
* 1-4 [[ Scraping Spear]] Black Phantom
* 1-4 [[ White Bow]] Black Phantom
* 1-4 [[ Rune Sword]] Black Phantom
* 2-2 [[ Great Club]] Black Phantom x2
* 3-1 [[ Baby's Nail]] Black Phantom
* 4-2 [[ Uchigatana]] Black Phantom
* 5-2 [[ Meat Cleaver]] Black Phantom

===Result when destroyed===

Whichever Nameless NPC Black Phantom you kill first in a New Game will drop a [[Black Eye Stone]].
It does not matter which one you kill first.

Be careful with the [[Great Club]] [[Black Phantoms]] in 2-2, as it is possible for them to fall down the nearby elevator shaft where you cannot retrieve what they drop.

===Recurring additional enemy===
Some normal enemy [[Black Phantoms]] reappear every time you enter/load the World.

===When they appear===
Each time you enter the World. Not dependent on [[World Tendency]].

===Instance===

* 1-1 [[Dregling]] - Execution Grounds near the start
* 3-2 [[Mind Flayer]] - just after the second Fog Gate and on the spiral staircase leading to the Boss
* 3-3 [[Mind Flayer]] - on the spiral staircase leading to the Boss x2

===Result when destroyed===

Guaranteed to drop an item

==Black Phantom Garl Vinland==

===When he appears===
When [[World Tendency]] is Pure [[Character_Tendency#Pure_White|White]]. As part of a quest from his sister [[Selen Vinland]].

===Instance===

* 5-2 [[Garl Vinland]]

===Result when destroyed===

Drops the [[Crest of Vinland]] and his weapon, the [[Bramd]].

==Old Monk summoned==
The [[ Old Monk]] Archdemon of the Tower of Latria will summon a Black Phantom to fight on his behalf.

===When they appear===

As you ascend the tower in 3-3, the [[Old Monk]] will attempt to summon another player.

=====Online=====

* Any players that currently have a [[Blue Eye Stone|Blue]], [[Black Eye Stone|Black]] or [[ Red Eye Stone]] placed anywhere in [[Tower of Latria|Latria]] may be summoned.

* That is providing they are in your [[ Soul Level]] Range. That player will be the Black Phantom boss for this session.

*They will have the boss's HP and automatic [[Homing Soul Arrow]] Spell casting.

=====Offline=====

* If you are playing offline or there are no Online players available, then the default Claw wielding NPC Black Phantom will be provided by the game.

* This phantom will automatically cast [[Homing Soul Arrow]] at some point after taking damage. The strength of his [[Homing Soul Arrow]] will increase as his HP decreases.

* He may eventually cast a full strength, five orb [[Homing Soul Arrow]] when at low health, if given the chance. He may also on occasion cast Soul Arrow.

===Instance===

* 3-3 [[Old Monk]] boss fight

===Result when destroyed===
