I had my first encounter with an invading Black Phantom player last night. We battled back and forth all over the early part of 1-1 for like 15 minutes, then I trapped him in a corner and kicked his ass. I usually don't taunt the screen and cheer loudly when I win in a game, but I do with this one.

For those that don't know: The boss is a human player. During the lengthy unskippable cinematic that plays every time you approach him, the game is actually looking for another human player for you to fight againt. They are picked randomly from all players looking to invade as a Black Phantom or awaiting a summon as a Phantom.
The first time I tried the guy fought FIERCE. It must have been a 10-15 minute fight. We both used at least 20-30 herbs. He played VERY well. I have invaded a lot of players and fought many Black Phantoms of my own and I have never fought someone as determined and skillful as this guy. I could see him trying different tactics and sometimes I could tell he was getting impatient and trying things a little more recklessly. In the end he got me by switching to a quicker weapon and being able to wear down my stamina and then get in a couple devastating attacks.
I sent the guy a PSN message afterwards to congratulate him on an awesome fight. His response was funny; he was all apologetic because he was worried that he made me lose a lot of souls, but said that he really wanted the turban. That's when I found out why he was using so many personal resources to beat me; if you win that fight as a Black Phantom you have a chance of getting the Old Monk Turban which is this ridiculous looking HUGE hat. Turns out he DID get it so I'm kind of glad he won. The chances of getting summoned to be that boss is pretty rare. Me on the other hand just popped one of my 25 Ephemeral Eyes, went to the boss again and killed the next challenger in a cakewalk fight.
So now I have completed, in this order:
1-1 Phalanx (1 try)
1-2 Tower Knight (3 tries)
2-1 Spider (1 try)
4-1 Tongue guy (1 try)
2-2 Flamelurker (1 try)
3-1 Fool's Idol (1 try)
3-2 Huge gargoyle guys (2 tries)
3-3 Old Monk :D :D :D :D (2 tries)
1-3 Penetrator (1 try)
Next up will be 1-4, my second Archdemon!
