Ghost ship phasing puzzle
Before I start my whining, let me put it forward.
This is 100% a skill issue. My brain does not go fast enough to comprehend the next moves needed to do this. I can Grindea, but I cannot secrets...

Thus, do you guys have any tips on the phasing puzzle in the ghost ship? The one where you need to switch between the spirit world and the real world while in ball form in a weird loop-de-loop in order to get past a block and to get to mirrors that are only in the spirit world?

Are you trying to get the treasure or just get to next room?

I guess some basic tips would be setting up visual or audio cues for when to toggle.
Usually a double tab is enough of a window to avoid the block between mirrors and still hit the mirror.

An alternative would be to setup a macro that would toggle at specific timings so you only need to time the first part to clear. This would involve trial and error to get the part

I *think* its the next room? I didn't know there was a treasure. I'm looking for the last guy for the ghost bartender.
It's like, that room where the one project scientist used to stay?

If you want to get the top, make your way to the section with the arrow pointing left and from there you can get to the top and to the next room.

Yes!
The issue for me is that the phase ball is too fast, and my brain is too slow to comprehend switching dimensions to hit each mirror, but also avoid the block which only exists in the same dimension as the 4 other mirrors
It's totally a skill issue, but I don't think I can get it even after trying dozens of times...

The obstacles deliberately set up to block a straight shot across the bottom. It certainly feels like there's a chance, but the puzzle doesn't do a very good job of shutting that idea down. You're meant to loop around to get it.

Don't focus on tracking the ball or planning its next move. Pick spots on the screen, and time your button presses when the glowing light hits those locations. At that point it becomes more of a memorizing or a rhythm puzzle. Choose the locations, hit the button, and it's all good.

For the treasure you'd obviously begin with the device off. Your locations would be between the two bottom mirrors, above the tentacle obstacle, below the tentacle obstacle, and once again between the 2 bottom mirrors. Don't worry about anything else on the screen.

I know which room you're talking about. I was stuck there for 30 minutes. I had to rebind my keyboard just to do the puzzle. Using a controller is too hard. I use "J" to hit and "F" to twilight phase. Listen to the sound queue for the bounce. Once you hear it, that's when you should twilight.

Legit: Intense Practice. You will get it eventually.

Not Legit: Sell your sould and play the game at 0.5 speed.

This was easy, ive been stuck for days in that ♥♥♥♥ of a room where you have to phase in and out in the ghost ship avoid the eyes and the fking mask that flyes around, who ever made this part should just stop making games, they have no concept of what fun is.

Whoever took over game design when they started creating the abomination that is Adventure mode should also stop making games because THEY too have no idea what makes fun gameplay, IMO. Bought this game in early access when there were only 3 zones completed, then had to wait 2 years for them to finish the story because they were too busy sucking the fun out of the game with Adventure mode, and I'm salty and bitter about it. Even more so because that mode is just trash.

I want my money back for the horrific pivot this game made during early access. But those are the risks. At least this game taught me to be more selective about early purchases. So I have that going for me, which is nice.

For people who can't get past the eye beam puzzle room in the Ghost Ship, even after consulting a youtube video on how it's done:

Just rapidly mash the Twisight button when the eye beam is passing over you. You'll permanently bug it out and make it unable to catch you.
