Ghost

does the big white ghost come if your taking too long in a levl or is it random?

It will appear after 2:30 on a level. If you destroy three altars to Kali she will curse you so that the Ghost appears at the start of each level for the rest of the game. The Ghost does not appear on the Boss level. The Ghost will also appear instantly if you pick up a Crystal Skull, this does not stop the regular Ghost from showing up so this makes it possible for you to have two ghosts on the same level.

ok thanks for the reply :). Love hard old school games. I've pretty much given up on the new AAA titles.

Is there any way to reverse this?

No

The second alter you destroy will give you just the ball and chain. The third alter will return the ball and chain (if you got rid of the first one) and bring the ghost. For every level you enter with that ball and chain, so does the ghost (Even on 4-4 and 5-4 where normally there isn't any ghost at all). If you get rid of it though, the ghost should return to normal starting with the next level.

Its now possible to ghost Olmec's Lair, but you have to complete (at least) 4-3 with the ball and chain to do so. If you get rid of that ball and chain early, no ghost will spawn as normal for 4-4.
I think you can get rid of the ball and chain by dropping it into Lava or the Abyss (without jumping in yourself), having Olmec land on it, or by crushing it with a pushable block/crush trap.

This isn't supposed to be true as of the 1.4 patch that got deployed a few days ago. That is, there should be no ghost at Olmec, no matter what. Dunno about Yama.

They specifically changed it so that you could get the ghost for Olmec. (Technically, you could get a ghost on Olmec before, but he would unavoidably kill you during that opening cutscene, making it rather pointless to do so.)
