How to trigger and get a ghost to join your Village (Updated Guide 2022)

This guide will tell you how to trigger a ghost quest and how to let the ghost join.

1. How to trigger a ghost quest

To get a ghost quest you require a Migrant with the Diplomat trait. The trait should be ''natural'' meaning it wasn't added by life satisfaction points. (Also a child with a ''natural'' diplomat trait can't summon a ghost in his life, Start Migrants can however!)








.

2. When the Quest appears, save before offering the required items!

The most important step: Save before offering the asked items!
(This is so important because there are 2 types of ghosts and you want to get the blue one (friendly one) because he is the only ghost that can join your village.) After you saved, ''sacrifice'' the required items. To get a ghost you require a blue ghost. (Friendly ghost) So reload the save if its a red one (Evil ghost).

The red ghost (Evil ghost)

Will attack your villagers and once defeated give the summoner (the migrant who started the quest) a permanent Mood boost (4+) Disclaimer: Evil ghosts can't join your village!

The blue ghost (Friendly ghost)

Will just roam around, until talked to.








.

3. Talk with the friendly ghost

What worked for me:

All these steps were done with the the Summoner (Migrant that summoned the ghost).

1. Talk to the ghost ONCE with the summoner. (If you talk with the ghost to much, the ghost will leave in the end)
2. Wait until the quest says Its time to say goodbye. Then talk with the ghost.

If you did these steps correct you should get a message saying the ghost joined your village.

Hi MrProNoob,
nice and helpful guide.

Imxp, it is not necessary to have the "diplomatic" skill, and the summoner may not necessarily be one of the first 2 villagers.

With talking to the ghost more than once, doesnt stop him to join. Just the contrary: Ghost needs to be a buddy imxp, so one talk might not be enough.

And you should mention that a leaving blue ghost also gives a permanent mood boost of 4 for the summoner. If he stays or leaves seems to be random.

This Guide isn't a 100% accurate. I just shared some tips that worked most of the time for me.
