Ghosts have traditionally been fought on ships in Sea of Thieves<\/a>. Players know that ghost ships were the main area to find the undead enemies prior to Season 3. However, with the new season and A Pirate’s Life expansion, ghosts are now much tougher to fight and more frequent. <\/p>\n

The ghosts take the shape of Phantoms and they can now appear on land as well as on the open ocean. To make matters worse, the Phantoms are a much more difficult opponent to deal with than standard skeletons. They’re quicker, react more intelligently and can appear at random times. <\/p>\n

For any player that wants to find the Phantoms, or more importantly to defeat them, we have a full guide on how to do so down below. <\/p>\n

Finding and defeating Phantoms in Sea of Thieves<\/h2>\n

To find a Phantom in Season 3, you just need to make your way onto an island in Sea of Thieves. This can either be done in a Tall Tale of A Pirate’s Life or in the regular game. Once you’ve made your way to an island, the Phantoms will mark their appearance with an ominous whistling sound. <\/p>\n

Once you’ve heard the sound for the first time, it becomes unmistakable in any encounters afterwards. The Phantoms will appear in either a group or by themselves. They’re transparent green pirates that immediately attack you once they’ve set fixed their gaze. <\/p>\n

The Phantoms will use both their sword and firearm to try and kill you. If they use their firearm, they’ll back up until you’re a good distance away. When they do this, it’s wise to go straight up to them and start swinging your sword. Getting out of the way of their firearm is also a wise decision, so try attacking them from the side or back.<\/p>\n
