All black phantoms revealed in The Duke's Archives. No black phantoms in Crystal Cave.

Another great vid, a lot of the BP channelers seemed tucked out of the way though, where any of them able to reach you while you where traveling across the main path from the prison to the garden? The number of bp golems is way more than I expected but they seemed like they had smaller aggro ranges and the placement of the priscas is perfect did you try turning the alarm on to see if they'd chase you down? The normal ones never seemed very aggressive to me. Definitely going to have to start infecting Duke's.

From prison to garden is a long way where channelers can reach you directly, especially if you want to pick twinklink titnite and great magical shield sorcery. Or indirectly, channelers buff on archers is extremely strong (see arrow hit at 05:09) and more their direct hit with the soul ray can kill you instantly. Good idea to turn on the alarm.

How are you getting all these phantoms? I'm GLed all the time, and have only seen 2 BPs. Both in the depths. Dredglings and sackhead.

Ive been GL'ed many ones and I'm on pa3 also. I've seen BPs mainly in Undead burg and the depths. Others were uncommon but undead parish an painted world of ariamis. PWoA was very intense when it was infected. So many fire breathers EVERYWHERE!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Al1000 has himself forcefully infected by being red stone summoned by a friend Gravelord then he black crystals out and his friend uses an eye of death. It seems to be an almost guaranteed infection, you can even summon that GL into your infected world and it will stay infected for something like 10 or 20 min. I believe nearly all the pro's who post GL info use this method since natural infections are so rare.

And I'm glad to hear they maintain such a wide buff zone, I can imagine those stray arrows could easily make Duke's a nightmare. Its good to hear the soul arrows are a 1HKO this is definitely going to be a great place to infect once the dlc hits and consoles can start getting rewards for their mighty BP's

It's too bad they're so rare.

The Duke's Archives is a piece of cake in comparison to ToG. I'm uploading ToG right now, I can tell you guys, it is pure nightmare. The hardest place in the game. And it should be well protected by black phantoms for our boss Nito.

Infection method is slightly modified as discribed by Azure. I will give you nice tutorial how to infect and spawn black phantoms soon.

OMG, ToG infection is nasty. BP dog skellies. I know someone who got stuck there, infected. They hadn't placed the Lord Vessel yet, and was at a low SL (he just blindly went on when he beat Pinwheel, to the next save point, as any rational person would do). I'm not sure if he made it or had to reset his game.

Oh dear god why are there BPs in the divine ember tomb :shock: The fact that they all glow in the dark just makes it that much worse when you realize they can see you too...

ToG is here. Enjoy.
