How Ghost Works

Ghost creates temporary allies each time you interact with stage objects. Typical triggers include pots and certain shrines. This lets you convert map interaction into extra damage and crowd control even when you’re not attacking directly.

Heads-up: Effect consistency depends on how often a stage offers interactables. Routes with dense pots/shrines naturally produce more ghosts.

How to Unlock Ghost

Requirement: Survive the Final Swarm for 60 seconds.

  2. Prioritize survival over greed; you only need the timer, not kills.
  3. Use map knowledge to funnel enemies and avoid being surrounded.
