# Phantoms

<div id="bkmrk-foldunfold-table-of-">FoldUnfold Table of Contents General Information List of Phantoms White Phantom Gold Phantom Red Phantom Blue Phantom Dragon Spirit NPC Phantoms Summons Invaders Notes ### General Information

---

When connected to other players online for co-op or PvP, players who are guests in a host's world will appear as a phantom.  
Phantoms are designated a recognizable color to establish their friendliness or hostility to a host.

Some colors are shared by the available multiplayer items, meaning the phantom's color alone does not distinguish the covenant they belong to in all cases.

This table assumes the Host is in human form.

### NPC Phantoms

---

You may summon or be invaded by several NPC phantoms, and you don't need to be online for this to happen, although you still need to be in human form.

#### Summons

---

Some NPC soul signs need certain events to happen before they appear.  
<table><tr><th>Name</th><th>Location</th><th>Notes</th></tr><tr><td>Knight Solaire</td><td>Undead Parish  
Depths  
Anor Londo  
Demon Ruins  
Kiln of the First Flame</td><td>Save Solaire for his soul sign to be available at Kiln of the First Flame</td></tr><tr><td>Knight Lautrec</td><td>Undead Parish  
Depths</td><td>Talk to Lautrec in Firelink Shrine after releasing him for his soul sign to be available at Undead Parish</td></tr><tr><td>Maneater Mildred</td><td>Blighttown</td><td>Beat her Dark Spirit form first for her soul sign to be available</td></tr><tr><td>Iron Tarkus</td><td>Sen's Fortress</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>Paladin Leeroy</td><td>The Catacombs</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>Witch Beatrice</td><td>Darkroot Garden  
New Londo Ruins</td><td>Summon her for the Moonlight Butterfly boss fight for her soul sign to be available at New Londo Ruins</td></tr><tr><td>Sif, The Great Grey Wolf</td><td>Chasm of the Abyss's boss area</td><td>Must be found and rescued before his soul sign appears when fighting Manus</td></tr></table>

#### Invaders

---

Dark Spirits 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 dark spirit will forever deny that dark spirit from appearing in that area on the current playthrough.  
<table><tr><th>Name</th><th>Availability</th></tr><tr><td>Kirk, Knight of Thorns</td><td>Depths  
Demon Ruins  
Lost Izalith</td></tr><tr><td>Maneater Mildred</td><td>Blighttown</td></tr><tr><td>Paladin Leeroy</td><td>Tomb of the Giants</td></tr><tr><td>Xanthous King, Jeremiah</td><td>Painted World of Ariamis</td></tr><tr><td>Marvellous Chester</td><td>Oolacile Township</td></tr></table>

### Notes

---

- There is one instance in the game where you can invade as a Spirit of Vengeance without being online. It's when you invade the world of Knight Lautrec the Guilty using the Black Eye Orb.

Footnotes 1. Asides from one in-game exception, where the blue Forest Hunter phantoms are called "Dark Spirits", like the red phantoms. </div>
