Is there a way to chain OVERSOULS??

Since its a teleporting enemy, you could probably chain it like you would Dustia or Helvinek. Im unsure of the method since I have done neither of them. Something about getting them close to a zoning line, kill them, then zone out before the EXP and the LP numbers show up. And they should reappear when you zone back in.

Sorry, you're wrong.
Because of the nature of them method to make Oversoul appear, you cannot chain it, it is impossible.

perhaps i should explain. To make an oversoul appear you MUST kill enemies, so the chain is instantly broken. From when you enter the necrohol, kill 20 enemies of any kind to make an oversoul appear; then kill 15 for the next to appear; then 10 for the next; then 5; then 2; then 1; then when you've killed the sixth and final Oversoul, helvenik will appear. After that you must leave the necrohol and come back again before you can make more oversouls appear.

@bond007106
The game has a kind of glitch, if you kill a monster and leave the zone your in before the exp numbers and LP for the kill have been shown the monster comes back right away with full health. Some teleporting monsters (like helvinek, oversouls) may also follow you to the new zone if you go to a zone it can normally spawn in that is. This way you can chain monsters like helvinek gaining exp, LP and loot for every kill but you have to zone out fast for if you miss leaving in in time once you have to start all over again.

@bond:

There technically is a way to kill Oversouls and getting the top level chain loot. This is kind of a game glitch and it works for almost any monster.
Basically you just go to an area that has plentiful monsters of the same type. For example, if we look at Cerobi Steppe Fredrick River, there are tons of Silver Lobos but 3-4 Adamantitans. Chain the Silver Lobos until to the highest chain (the big golden orbs). Then after you're satisfied with the chain level, go to an Adamantitans and attack it until it is near-death. Don't kill it. Now cast poison (useful to have an indigo pendant equipped) and wait for it to die. You could also cast sleep if the constant attacks bother you. When the Adamantitans dies, it will drop the same chain level loot -- in this case the highest one -- without breaking the chain. I used this method to get my Adamantites for the Ultima Blade. Quite effective

So go find something in the Necrohol like Bakanamys to chain and then use the same tactic to chain Oversouls.

I've never done this to Oversouls but technically it should work. Unless Oversouls are immune to poison...
