Overview

The game can be played online, using a PSN account. To set up for online play, refer to Network Setup

Online play is available as active and passive interactions. Both are available and integrated into normal gameplay as long as you are connected online.

Active Online Elements

• Blue Phantoms (Cooperative Play)
• Black Phantoms (Player versus Player)(PvP)

Blue Phantoms

Blue Phantoms are players who have been summoned by a living player. A player must be in Soul Form to play as a Blue Phantom.

By cooperating with the host player to defeat a demon, the player can gain Souls and revive their physical body if the demon is successfully defeated.

When you die when in Blue Phantom form, you do not loose any of your soul points accumulated. Instead, you return to your game world where you continue as a regular soul. Because of this, it is also a very good position to be in for exploring a dungeon, because very little risk is involved

When a Blue Phantom session is over, you can then review the players that you have co-opped with grades S, A, B, C, D.

Conditions

• Only living players who have not defeated the boss of an area can summon a Blue Phantom.
• Must have Blue Eye Stone.
• Must be in Soul Form.
• Must be within certain level restrictions (+or- [Soul Level]/10 + 10).
• Must meet the lowest level player's restriction.

Steps

1. Go to an area you want to offer help. (not available in the Nexus)
2. Use the Blue Eye Stone to leave a Soul Sign.
3. Wait until you are summoned.

Common Mistakes

• Do not stray too far from your Soul Sign. This will automatically cancel the sign.

Black Phantoms

Black Phantoms are players that have invaded another living player's game.

When a Black Phantom player defeats another living player, the player will regain their physical body in their own world. Black Phantoms can not invade a player in Soul Form.

Conditions

• Must have a Black Eye Stone.
• Must be in Soul Form.
• The host player to invade is auto-matched by the game server.
• The same level restrictions for co-op applies.

Penalties
