Invisible Hollows | Dark Souls 2 Wiki


Invisible Hollows in Dark Souls 2 are a new type of Secret that was introduced in the Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin Edition. They become visible upon approaching them with a torch. When attacked they become visible, taking the form of a naked hollow enemy, and randomly drop something within a specific loot table. Sometimes their Shadows can still be seen even before they are revealed. Currently, it appears that at the very least, there's one in most areas, though all have yet to be discovered. They do not respawn upon being killed.

  • Note: Wearing any piece of the Moon Butterfly set can be extremely helpful as the poison procs when near and thus finding them much easier. I have already discovered 2 more hollows not mentioned anywhere this way.

      The one in Sinners' Rise (first jail on second floor) doesn not give you a Petrified Something, just a Smooth & Silky Stone. Just killed him in SOTFS

        "Although perfect invisibility is unachievable due to the risk of dissipation, the caster need only stand still for a moment to blend in to environs with astounding camouflage." This is the description of ds1 hidden body spell, I think these guys somehow pefected invisibilty that they almost completely dissipated and now are stuck like that foever, with noone to interact with.

            These are just hollows who most likely found something to keep them invisible and clutched to that final thing which brought them joy, hiding in plain sight to be forgotten about and to feel safe

              It is really creepy that these guys are all hollows, and are invisible... I wonder if they are slowly transforming into the items they drop, as their real forms fade from existence...? or maybe they are just ex-residents of that foggy wood you have to fight the invisible dudes at?

                It would have been cooler if there was some lore explaining why these invisible hollows existed. Since Aldia was a sorcerer and love experimenting with magic maybe he did some experimenting with the spell Hidden Body from Dark Souls 1 and then something went horribly wrong while he was doing the magic experiments on hollows and they somehow escaped Aldia's Keep. If something like that happened maybe it would explain why we can't get Hidden Body in Dark Souls 2 but we can get Hidden Weapon (as a rank 2 gift in the bellbro covenant).
