Ghost

Ghosts are semi-invisible mobs found in The Mist which is located in Dwarven Mines. They deal heavy damage which increases the closer one gets to them. Ghosts do not show their health totals above their heads, which makes it hard to tell how much damage the player has dealt to them.

Spawning
Ghosts spawn in large numbers in The Mist in the Dwarven Mines.

Drops

Ghosts also grant 150 Combat XP.

Ghosts have a unique loot-sharing mechanic. When multiple players are nearby each other killing Ghosts, those group of players will all receive the rare drops dropped from the Ghosts.

Behavior
Ghosts are hostile to any nearby players. They have and move slowly. They have a periodic AoE attack of a 4 block radius that deals more damage the closer they are to players. They deal 1000 damage along with 100 true damage; if the player gets within 1 block of them, the damage is doubled to 2000 and 200. They also do not take knockback.

Ghosts can take damage only from melee attacks; magic abilities, bows(including Bonemerangs) and damage over time effects(like Phoenix Pet's Fourth Flare and Wither Skeleton's Death Touch) will not affect Ghosts. Item abilities that deal melee damage, such as those of Flower of Truth and Soul Whip, will damage Ghosts.

They have the appearance of an invisible Charged Creeper, where only the charged part is visible, similar to the Creeper Veil of the Wither Cloak Sword. Their name tags and health bars do not show. The damage bonus of works on them.

Tips

 * The Flower of Truth is very good for keeping a safe distance from Ghosts while healing damage with life-steal enchantments. Swapping to a high-damage weapon such as Giant's Sword or a 50M+ Emerald Blade will allow one to deal more damage.
 * The Soul Whip can deal heavy damage to large groups of Ghosts while staying out of range of their melee attacks.
 * The Phantom Rod allows players to deal damage from afar and avoid taking hits.
 * A good budget way of killing them is by using any fishing rod to throw them into the air. They will then take a decent amount of fall damage depending on how high they fall. With practice, the player can kill them very effectively. Best spot for doing this is in 0 101 82.
 * However, this is generally not a good idea, considering the chances of anyone actually managing to do this without dying is quite low.
