Notes

  • Black phantoms will only spawn if the player is in human form and the area boss has not been defeated; this means that defeating a boss before being invaded by a particular NPC black phantom will forever deny that black phantom from appearing in that area.
  • Vagrants or Drift Item enemies can rarely appear during online play, in all areas at predetermined locations.
