something caught me off guard.

Ok so I was walking around in the game looking for the rumour about plasmanter and then i walked by the landkeepers base which was 2 squares to the left of the abandoned mall, then on top of a hill next to the base i saw what looked liked a ghost of my character few seconds then it disappeared, i dont know if this is hinting something or if its just an easter egg but it kinda shocked me.

Congratulations, you've encountered something of a virtual cryptid within the game. You are not the only one who's seen this thing. Apparently it will sometimes attack you as well, using a mirror of your party with permanent ghost status.

I thought I was going insane, I saw this like twice and I didn't know what was going on

I haven't encountered it myself, but supposedly, based on word of the one guy I kinda know who beat it you get a special Tape that can guarantee a recording AND convert it into an Astral Bootleg.

I've seen that ghost figure probably 2-3 times in about 30 hours, but it always disappeared before I had the chance to interact with it. Now that I know it's actually possible to interact with it, I'm sad. I'll have to hunt it down and knowing Murphy's law, my chances are slim.

Don't worry, if it makes you feel better, the community has not figured out how to make it attack you. So every time it has attacked someone, it's unknown as to why.

Ooh, that's important for an achievement because you need to remaster an Astral Traffikrab to get a special monster

Well, it's also important on just getting the achievement to defeat the Ghost which is rarer lol

The achievement to defeat a ghost isn't referring to that one. It's just to defeat an enemy that's got the infinite Ghostly status on it. There's a guy you can battle in the graveyard with it, it's how I got it.

Just making sure, you're talking about "Who you gonna call" achievement? If so, how did you do it?

[fireheart126]

It can be done through a number of methods. Notably, the achievement doesn't even need you to beat an infinite ghost. Regular ghost status works too.

But for fighting an infinite ghost, the options you have on the table are DoT Statuses (Burn, Poison, Leech) via non-damaging Status Moves, Contact Damage, the Phase Shift Sticker (Passive that lets you hit ghosts) or New Leaf (Will remove the Ghost Status)

I beat up the ghost guy who's in the graveyard (he freaks out about ghosts when he sees you), near to the station there. Had a monster with New Leaf remove the ghostly status and then beat up his monster.

thats different, he is someone you get to fight and see all the time, but this doppelganger just comes and goes
