Black Separation Crystal | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

I invaded a cool gank squad today. The host was a ludwig cosplayer with preacher mask and moonlight greatsword, his summons were a GiantDad and a full tarkus sunbro. Suddenly a PKCS guy invaded them and an epic battle happened. We smashed the tarkus,but none of us were brave enough to approach GiantDad, so we just killed the host and did a collapse gesture in front of the GiantDad and it was over.
10/10 would get ganked again without black crystal

Time for this week's episode of "Is this game actually fun? Or am I just reluctant to stop playing it in the hopes that the community will magically fix itself"

Does this thing black list you from the world you leave by using it ? I was trying to invade a friend during his playthrough, i made sure all the requirements to invade him were always met, i once used the black crystal to leave his world and i could never find him again, despite being both overlevel for the area so i couldn't find anybody for minutes. Eventually i did found other people, often 3 to 6 times the same people in a row actually, but once i used the black crystal in their world i never found them again too.

Unironically takes more skill than just just plug pulling. At least you need to create some distance to pull a BC off.

Man I’m just trying to get Darkmoon Blade. Once I do I’ll never do pvp again and you’ll have one less “gank” or whatever tf it is in the community. This game’s pvp sucks balls and the community is toxic af for a game that’s 90% pve

hosts hate him! find out how this invader destroyed gankers with just one easy step!

Whenever I get summoned into a fight club, I strip and show that I'm only using a bow. I drop an Ember for my would-be opponent and the host, and then I bow and crystal out. I know I've got virtually no winning chance being bow-only and unstable internet when more than three people are there, so I'd rather leave peacefully than subject everyone else to that annoyance. If I can help with a single invader for someone else, I'll gladly do so, but I know I'm beat in a fight club lol

Submit

If i ever find myself summoned into a gank squad, either i let myself get killed or bc out of the sht that ruined pvp. I can help ppl get through a difficult/tedious area or boss, but i ain't babysitting them. So many advantages to the host makes me wish friendly fire was a thing.

Reading the **** in this comment section makes me want to use this item out of pure spite for the people here. Comment sections on the internet are a disgrace, I swear on god.

Anytime a host tries to black crystal an invader out of their world, a loyal darkmoon knight goes hollow. Think of the knights, don't be a ****ing dumbass.

Anytime a host tries using this to send a invader home, a loyal darkmoon knight goes hollow. Think of the knights, don't be an idiot.

VERY useful if you start losing a duel

"ThIs ItEm Is OkAy BeCaUsE iT lEt'S yOu LeAvE gAnKsQuAdS". A common defence of this items I hear when I get annoyed at dark spirits sprinting the **** away from a 1v1 in to mobs to bail because they got absolutely dumpstered. You only have this item in your hotbar as a cheap bail option when you're getting outplayed and you know it. And I don't even get the whining with invaders rolling up in to gank squads. If you can't adjust to the varying nature of the pvp in dark souls, what are you even doing here? In my personal experience while invading, gank squads are way more entertaining to roll up in to because it requires you to be able to think on your feet and have some level of competency in the game, as opposed to fishing for 1v1s with your meta build you stole from some youtuber where you don't even understand why its good. TL:DR meet every invading challenge as it comes and take a loss with dignity without resorting to the coward separation crystal

Was a sunbro helping people through bosses. Had a guy black crystal me immediately after beating Oceiros for him, denying me my precious sunlight medallions. So I put my sign down at the Untended graves, confident I would see him again. Sure enough he was the first person who summoned me there, and as we passed through the gate, I sat down in the path of the dragon and watched him fight. As it dawned on him that he was now fighting a buffed boss solo, he tried to kite the Gundyr into attacking me, again and again, but Gundyr knew what I had been through and denied him, yeeting him into the graves with his foot. In his final breaths he was met with my hot dungpie upon his face.

Don't be like this to cooperators.

So, ganking somehow is ok but black crystal out of a gank is wrong? How about your alt + f4 once your 3 phantoms dies? We don't talk so much about that, huh?

And blues, fck off with "i can't get the covenant reward" bs, you ll only get what you want after you work for it, not before. It doesn't matter how much you wait; if the host already has phantoms, use this and get out.

Submit

Lol imagine actually dying to a 1v4 and not black crysyalling out

Submit

Ah, the black salt crystal, the invader's equivalent to the alt+f4. Only to be used in the hotbar for bad invaders who know they can get dumpstered easily. You know exactly who you are

Submit

If an invader uses this to ditch a gank squad then its totally fine. Still run into salty invaders though who, on the brink of losing a duel, will run home so I cant get an ear; *****in sucks.

Submit

While I am not A blue sentinel or darkmoon I still think that if an invader uses this item the blue should still get the covenant reward while it is a scummy thing to gank it is an even scummier thing to black crystal out on a blue (or even send a blue home)

Submit

Hard counter for blues. Enjoy waiting another 20 minutes to gank, blooboi.

Submit

General tip: best used when the people in the world suck, not when they're better than you. Hiding host? Group of dedicated gankers (there to kill phantoms, not clear a level)? Summoned by a useless player? Summoned a useless phantom? That's the use. Please ruin less duels with this because you were outplayed, just take the loss with grace

Submit

Seems like some fails to fully read the description. This item doesn't remove invaders, but only summoned players (blue or gold). This also allows you to return to your own world if you have been summoned or if you invade another's game. (This is why you can use it when invading as Aldrich Faith.) On console, when using it with only an invading player in your game as the one living, a pop-up appears telling you that there's no player to disconnect. With that said, I have seen plenty of PC videos and post that state that, on PC, people are able to use the BSC to disconnect even invaders. (I also see a lot of comments about it being an hack/mod)

sign down for Halflight sees actual player as the Spear Crystal out, enjoy the amped up PVP fight u scrub

Submit

I cant use this item when im invading as watchdog, but weirdly enough when invading as aldrich faith, i can use the item to return.

Submit

I like making gankers chase me all the way the the Aldrich faithful boss door and black crystal out to waste their time.

Submit

Anyway a red could use this mid-fall after hes been pushed over the edge to avoid dying? Just had one get pushed off but he somehow "returned to his own world" before he was supposed to die

Submit

The description should say "Made from black salt, this crystal activates when a dark spirit throws their controller at a wall."

Submit

Last time i was forced to leave host world when he used this crystal it is impossible i guess? Cheating? Glitch?

Submit

I was invading in the area after Pontiff and found a guy who was standing unmoving. Obviously, it was suspicious so i went to him expecting a trap and i was right, as soon as i tried to gesture he attacked. we traded a few hits and then he chugged so i did the same and then he ran away. after a while i find him again standing still. i also stood there and we spent a minute without moving and then HE USED BSC AND KICKED ME OUT OF HIS WORLD. can anyone explain me what happened? its the first time i see something like this.

Submit

*****ing hate this item. I've had so many hosts summon me just to help kill a red then immediately send me home right afterward. Or I've summoned phantoms and had them BSC out in the middle of a boss fight. They need to make some changes to how this item works.

Submit

So I get invaded by a red phantom in the cathedral of the deep chapel. We were both primarily sorcery casters. We battle it out 1 v 1. I start winning. He starts chugging estus. The jokes on him though, because I have twice the estus that he does. After he finishes all his estus, he runs through the doors, hides around the corner and black crystal's out. I was so mad - the least he could do is accept his loss. Red phantoms hardly risk anything when dying; a host can lose his embered state, his souls & have to waste estus (when PVE is your current focus)

It is unfair that an invading phantom can crystal out, but a host can't send him home. It would be more fair if a phantaom that has taken a certain percentage of their max health from player damage, that the crystal is disabled for the duration of the invasion.

Submit

I summoned Holy Knight Hodrick on Road of Sacrifices and he used the Black separation crystal immediately once summoned. I have no idea what happened and have never seen an NPC do this before. Anyone care to shed any light as to why he did this?

Submit

This is a pretty controversial item (obviously), so here are situations where use of this is valid (or at least somewhat valid)(invaders apply to Red Soapstoners as well).

General: dark spirits/phantoms have bad connection, Hst has bad connection, keep invading/being summoned to the same person over and over, and generally not wanting to be there.

As an invader: when being ganked, Host is hiding, or keep invading someone you particularly do not like.

Phantoms: Host is doing something random and non-productive, Host sucks balls at staying alive and keeps dying and summoning you.

Host: phantom is doing nothing

Submit

is it possible to ban crazy phantoms with this crystal?

Submit

Was earning Sunlight Medals the other night helping out the Dancer battle when the d-bag I helped black crystals me right after I deal the killing blow to the Dancer. I go home with no souls and no medal...What a d-bag move!

Submit

It's *****ing dumb that you can be staggered out of this, the amount of times I've tried to black crystal out of a gank and just been *****ed is unbelievable

Submit

A hacker removed my black separation crystal from my inventory (along with all my pale tongues). Is there any way to get them back?

Submit

Feels good to do it to blues when I waste their time going through the level for ten minutes and luring to enemies. Especially with the new update that summons two blues. Invasions aren't all about winning people, it's all about slowing the host down and stopping their progress.

Plus I just like denying smelly ganking blues their ears.

Submit

This is my most used item in pvp

Submit

Best counter against "quick step spam" builds i have found so far.

Submit

I've used this twice while invading. The first time I used it was after the host started teleporting, I wanted nothing to do with that and bailed. The second time I couldn't find the host and got bored.

Submit

Why the ***** do you keep using this when I'm trying to help you

Submit

When you see the scrub host has three high level gank bros and two blue sentinels pop, this is their reward for being casul.

I removed all the information about the phony "Black Separation Bans". http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/168566-dark-souls-iii/73616376This thread has video evidence as the very last post in it showing a host that has over 50 BSC uses with no soft ban, unless video evidence to the contrary can be provided it should be treated as just some salty lie told be an angry host.

Submit

To get banned, white kind of session did you BSC from? Invading, white phantom, sending summons home? There are a lot of variables that are unclear.

Submit

Is there some sort of way to refresh this? Do you have to use it 30 times in day? It's really unclear, unless it just means 30 in total with an unlimited time span.

Submit

Unknown if getting the first notification will add an flag to your account that makes it easier to get it again in the future. As so far my average 30 disconnects with the item has been done by only one other person and they've already received the message prompt before hand like I did before testing.So if someone wants to possibly risk their account for others that hasn't been penalized yet for leaving too many sessions, it would be greatly appreciated. (Use a new character as you lose the only circlet they give you, and its still unknown how to obtain more.)
