roaming ghost

[abbasrawas2007]

so i think some of the people here have atleast seen the ghost that looks just like your character, ive personally only seen it once but wasnt able to battle him, any idea how i can find him again quicker?

Looking at it right now on my alt character. This gray and red eyed "ghost" thing that appears doesn't only match your player character either. I've seen it appear as some of the captains and other people too but it vanishes every time I get close. I have no idea what this thing is about still but it clearly isn't just some glitch.

Roam around the map, it can spawn at any rogue fusion spawn point (and it has the same spawn mechanics that the rogue fusions) but it has a relatively low spawn rate (the same than fused mimic). Just an advise if you find one, don't try to engage it by running at it, it will probably flee before you can reach it. Try to jump on it from a vantage point and land right on his head so it does not see you.

I wanted to reply to this mentioning that, unfortunately, dropping on top of it does not guarantee triggering the event (won't specify in case of spoilers). I jumped on its head and even though I could tell the sprites collided, it still disappeared without anything happening. Appreciated the idea to try out though! Unfortunately it seems that it's up to the ghost's rng, and I don't think anything can be done to influence it on the player end.

From what I experienced, this happen if you don't take enough altitude. It seems like it have a small vertical detection range and if you don't fall fast enough it will have enough time to disapear. Also the ghost RNG is really bad (in the code it has something like 1% chance to duel you and not vanish) so I don't recommand that.

It's true however that if it spawn in a cave or high up in the world map it may be impossible to drop from high enough to start the duel. There is a last option if you're not relunctnant to use the debug console to force him to attack you (still need to find it first), i'll explain it if someone ask.

Do you or anyone you know have photo or video proof of actually fighting the shadow?

Or even a picture of the alleged cassette it drops on defeat that turns what you catch Astral?

I just hope people aren't parroting a rumor without having personally experienced it themselves.

I'll have to do some ghost hunting to drop the video

Ty, I've been running aimlessly around the map trying to farm encounters with it and had given up hope
