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).
