[SOLVED] Ghost NPC is missing & preventing me from completing 6 feats!

[Black Edition']

This is the second save I start due to the previous one having the mushroom bug since the dev wasn't able to fix it for old saves anytime soon.

Im now facing a new bug with the new save, and lucky me the ghost is no where to be found! He's also preventing me from completing 6 related achievements:
- Talk to every NPC.
- Complete every NPC quest.
- Help the ghost.
- Open every big treasure chest.
- Collect every artifact.
- Achieve every other feat.

I know he only spawns in the winter biomes. I tried every possible solution after looking this up but nothing has helped:
- I walked on every possible tile in the winter biomes.
- Went through looking for him at day/night.
- Dug every tile in all winter biomes.
- Threw grenades everywhere.
- Catched/cleared every bug/animal in the way that could block him from spawning.

Any thoughts? Im all out of ideas. I love this game but this is getting ridiculous and Im honestly tired of starting a new save every time only to face another bug preventing me from completing the game! Im over 35 hours of playtime and I had my full share of playing this game and I just want to 100% this and move on.

Any way I can share my save so someone else can take a look?

Update:

So I finally found the little bugger! You actually have to walk very slowly and make a complete stop on top of his very tile so he can appear to you. You can youtube this to see how and when he appears.

What i've been doing wrong before (and im sure many other people) I was walking fast over every tile trying to trigger him but that's not going to work. Oh man I wasted hours looking for him this way! I only discovered this after starting a third save and was 2 hours in when I finally met him and saw how he appeared, then I went back to my older save and finally found him after understanding how it works lol.

He's exactly right in the middle of the island and you can open the island purchase tab to see which spot is the middle of the land, and then you have to go exactly on top of his tile and make a complete stop (don't move) then he'll appear to you! Trust me there's no bug here.

I finally unlocked his 6 achievements and 100% completed the game! oh what a relief I can finally move on!

It's my bad thinking this wad a bug. But I think this needs a re-work since I wasn't the only one complaining. Perhaps make him barely transparent so he's easier to spot?
