Ghost (enemy)

The Ghost is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Cavern and Underground layers during the Halloween season.

On the, Ghosts will spawn in the Graveyard mini-biome, regardless of time. They will also spawn when players mine Tombstones.

Ghosts behave like Wraiths, hovering above the ground and passing through solid tiles to reach the player.

Tips

 * Ghosts can be attacked through walls with melee weapons that cannot usually hit through walls - this makes spears and whips especially effective. Both are still great for dealing with large hordes of ghosts, because can hit many of them at once.
 * In Journey mode, even when the enemy spawn rate is set to 0× the normal rate, mining up tombstones may still cause Ghosts to spawn.

Trivia

 * Strangely, the Ghost's attack decreases in Expert Hardmode, rather than increasing.
