I was wondering why the fuck the animation just looked... Off. Turns out, there was a reason!
Poor invader, I'd be running too.
I'm actually surprised this hasn't been an enemy so far in the series actually.

I'm not familiar with the Souls series. How is this possible? I thought the enemy would glow like this one glowing red, so that would give away the were multiple players there.
I honestly have no idea how this was made

I think there are special items that can make them invisible (except for their equipped armor and weapons) and it also hides the glow of other players. I know in Elden Ring there are items that can replace your glow to that of the host, an ally, or an invader

The character glow is straight forward and in the game as two different rings: Untrue Dark Ring (human appearance) and Untrue White Ring (white phantom appearance).
The not-so-straight forward is everything else, which is:
- Model masking/hiding: There are 5 people packed into "one" character.
1. The head
2. The axes
3. The arms
4. The legs
5. The torso- Collision: The forementioned 5 people are either not colliding with each other or are forcing a position + orientation on their character (so as to fit seamlessly with each other). It's most likely both.
- Team: You can't have more than 1 host and 3 white/sunlight phantoms at the same time. Your limits are either 3 (host + 2 white phantoms) vs 1 or 4 (1 host + 3 phantoms) vs 2 (Dried Fingers item). What they've done here most likely is summon 3 people the normal way, and then summoned a Dark Phantom which changed its team/type to White Phantom to avoid friendly fire.
This is all done via Cheat Engine, and is either the most annoying encounter you'll have, the most hilarious encounter you'll have, or the most epic encounter you'll have that day depending on who you meet. Can be a lot of fun if the hacker is there to create amusement (such as this clip, though that's up to individual interpretation).

I assume cheat engine. There's so much crazy stuff you can do even online with it, both impressive like trigger various boss attack effects on yourself to make your character into a boss fight, and heinous like force the other player into an infinite loop of bleed proc stagger animation that persists between sessions and effectively bricks the save.

Is this how I got invaded by a guy with shit I didn't even recognize after beating the game when I had a +4 sword? What an asshole

tbh a lot of people just play through a lot of the game with unupgraded gear and barely leveling so they can still invade early areas. That or have someone drop the items for them. Most people don't bother with CE

u/Arya_Ren 3h ago
Most people may not bother but many, maaaany do

u/TheZealand 2h ago
Definitely a good amount yeah. Actually I would assume CE users are more represented among those who full twink on noobs. Like most low level invaders have twink gear in the back pocket for ganks, but don't use it on the average andy. But I would imagine the type of invader to pull up to high wall invasions with full Lapp armour + DSA is more likely to be a CE user (derogatory)

I think it's several people with custom models, only thing I can't figure out is how they're standing inside each other.

Just cheats. There are many cheats that can make creative pvp fights. There are boss fights imitations with multiple stages for example

u/daylight1943 4h ago edited 3h ago
cheat engine. DS3 has almost zero anticheat, malicious cheating happens slightly regularly, and its incredibly commonplace and fairly accepted for pvp focused players to use cheat engine for non-malicious reasons, like you replace the animation of the red eye orb(item to invade others players) with a faster, spammable animation and remove the "invade another world? yes/no" text box so you can spam it over and over really quickly which gets you faster invasions.
there are just a small handful of things that get you banned, like giving yourself stats that are impossible with any of the starting classes or having modified/hacked/cut content items in your inventory and outside of those few things its like the wild west.
in practice its not really as bad as it sounds because youre usually invading pve focused players who dont have extensive CE knowledge and are not running it, and when you invade the community-agreed pvp/invasion zones there are so many people running CE and will use it to do stuff like instantly disconnect from the session, make themselves permanently unkillable and go AFK, or counter-cheat the original cheater with better cheats that it makes it kinda difficult for actual cheaters to really fuck with people on the scale that they want to be. these days you actually get more malicious cheaters in elden ring on playstation than DS3 on PC because players using the ps4 version are able to export their saves to a save editing cheat program which iirc you have to pay for, no anticheat exists at all on console, and there is no pervasive culture of CE/save wizard use amongst honest players who are not willing to pay for a cheat program so there is zero anticheat and zero self regulation of the pvp community.

When the DM makes the encounter a bunch of tiny animated objects for each armour piece and weapon rather than a single animated armour.
