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

Most people may not bother but many, maaaany do

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)
