Dark Souls 2: invade a world with a friend and online mechanics

Dark Souls 2: invade a world with a friend and online mechanics - Happy young diverse students surfing netbooks on street

I played Dark Souls (and it was amazing) offline, so I don't know well how the invasion mechanics works.

Can I invade a world with a friend? If yes, how?

And can someone explain me what are the advantages of playing online with the possibility of invade and being invaded?

Thanks!

How does multiplayer in DS2 work?

Dark Souls 2 has an unique multiplayer system in which players can invade into each others worlds. This can happen in various ways and with different purposes. You can invade your opponents world with the mission to vanquish them, or you can join other players to engage in jolly cooperation.

How do I play Dark Souls 2 with a friend?

To invade another world, players need to use a Cracked Red Eye Orb. Cracked Red Eye Orbs can be found looted from fallen enemies or in treasure chests. You'll enter a random player's world as a Red Phantom, but must be a human and not in Majula in order to use it.
