Progression Points are a measure of progress in BLACKSOULS 2. There are 10 of them – and they get activated when you defeat important bosses or activate certain important events in the game.
Progressions Points make certain events happen and most characters depend on them – you can see how many you have activated by the amount of torches that light up in the Library Dream.
When you reach 10 Progression Points you will be able to finish the game and get one of the endings.
