Ghosts are invisible Charged Creepers found in The Mist which is located in the ⏣ Dwarven Mines. They deal 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 health the Ghost has left.
Ghosts use the Loot Sharing Mechanic. When multiple players are nearby each other killing a mob with Loot Sharing, those players will all receive the rare drops of that mob. This includes Candy during Spooky Festival, and, theoretically, the Phoenix Pet.
Behavior[]
Ghosts are hostile to any nearby players. They have 1M❤ 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 damage and 200 true damage. 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, this does not include enchantments such as Fire Aspect, and Venomous. Item abilities that deal melee damage (including fishing rods), such as those of Soul Whip, will damage Ghosts.
Ghosts automatically despawn when their Y value goes above a certain threshold.
Their name tags and health bars do not show. The damage bonus of Cubism works on them.
Tips[]
The Lonesome Miner Heart of the Mountain perk and the LEGENDARY or higher Mithril Golem Pet's Subterranean Battler ability significantly increase damage dealt to mobs on mining islands, including Ghosts.
If the Ghost drops 1,000,000 coins, the following message will appear in chat: The ghost's death materialized1,000,000 coinsfrom the mists!
Ghosts used to drop Bag of Cash which could have been sold to NPCs for 1,000,000 coins and unlike the cash itself they drop now, was affected by ✯ Magic Find
Ghosts was the first mob to use loot sharing feature.
Ghosts were largely used as a method of killing off people AFKing goblins for coins/dust as well as trolling players by leaving a ghost at the Mines Spawn point killing players as they joined the lobby, many times causing huge losses of coins and potion effects. This was patched out on April 25, 2022 when ghosts were made to despawn after a certain Y value threshold, making it impossible to fish ghosts out of the mist.
Ghosts recover 10% of player's ❤ Health when killed, making them the only mob to recover ❤ Health on defeat without an ability causing them to do so.
