7. The Ghost Ship

The Ghost Ship

If you have not already, head back to Linebeck’s ship and set sail for the Northwestern Sea. You should travel into the same fog that you found your way through before. This time your ship will stop – and you will be guided by the three spirits. Keep an eye on the spirits as they will go wild when pointed more directly at the Ghost Ship.

Eventually you will find the Ghost Ship. Climb aboard on your quest to save Tetra!

Main Deck

Now that you have made it on the ship, walk to the west and enter floor B1.

Basement 1

Upon entering this floor walk to the west until the door closes behind you. You need to defeat three Poes. Slash them with your sword and once you defeat them all continue to the west. You will come across the youngest daughter of the House of Cubus. She will task you with finding the other three sisters aboard the ship.

Continue north and defeat any Skulltula that cross your path. Use your boomerang to hit the crystal switch to the north. This will cause the spikes to be lowered. Walk east past the spinning blue fireballs where you will see another crystal switch to the north. Hit this with your boomerang to cause the spikes to lower.

From here you will want to follow the pathway. You will notice you cannot advance passed the blue flamed. Jump across the gap to the south into the lower portion of the floor.

Walk around the corner and follow down the hallway. Avoid the floor spikes that occasionally pop up, and hit the crystal switch to the north of the spikes. You should also open the treasure chest to your west which contains a triangular crystal. Carry this crystal to its pedestal at the northeast corner of the floor (just above the remaining blue flames). Putting it on its pedestal will cause the flames to extinguish. Now head for the other Cubus sister at the northeastern corner of the floor.

Bring the sister back to her younger sister located at the western part of the floor. You will need to defeat any Skulltulas in your path, as the sisters will scream when confronted.

After uniting the sisters run to the staircase on the eastern side of the floor to head down to floor B2. You will need to locate the remaining two sisters.

Basement 2

This floor introduces some new enemies – the Reaplings. These enemies act almost exactly as Phantoms do. You cannot defeat them, but you can stun them.

Use the safe zones scattered throughout the floor and make your way east until you reach another Cubus sister. Hit the nearby crystal switch to lower nearby spikes. The Cubus sister will tell you to open the left chest located to your east. Ignore her request and open the right chest for a Yellow Potion. The left chest contains a “black Rupoor”. This will make you lose 10 rupees and cause another Reapling to appear.

Make your way with the Cubus sister to the center of the room. There is a path containing a treasure chest that is now accessible due to the spikes being lowered. Open the treasure chest to obtain a circular crystal. Carry this crystal, with the Cubus sister, up to floor B1.

Basement 1

After entering floor B1 place the circular crystal on its pedestal north of the stairs. This will cause the blue flames to your west to go out. Once again unite the Cubus sister with the rest of her family. From here head back down to floor B2.

Basement 2

Your goal here is to make it to the staircase to the west. Run west until you reach it. Head down the stairs to the final floor, B3.

Basement 3

Run to the east until the door closes behind you. Defeat the 5 Skulltulas here and walk northward. There is a switch located in a safe zone just above the Skulltula room. Avoid hitting this switch as it will cause a Reapling to appear. Instead continue slightly north and then west to another safe zone that contains a stone tablet. This tablet tells you the order in which to pull the switches by the entrance: 24513.

Walk back to the entrance of this floor to pull the levers in the following order:

• 4th Lever
• 1st Lever
• 5th Lever
• 2nd Lever
• 3rd Lever

You may now enter the small storage room from the northern side. Break a few barrels and step on the switch on the west side of the room. This will cause the blue flames to go out.

You can now access the final safe zone in the northwest part of this floor. Run there and break that barrel that is moving. You will find the fourth and final Cubus sister. You will not have to reunite her with her 3 other sisters on floor B1.

Talk with the sisters and they will invite you to play a game of Dead Man’s Volley. It is now time to battle the Cubus Sisters!

Cubus Sisters

During the first phase of this battle, you will need to avoid lasers from three of the sisters while one of the sisters will throw energy balls at you. Use your sword to slash the balls back at the sisters. Hit two back successfully to take down one of the sisters.

Phase two is very similar to the first. Two sisters will shoot lasers while one will be shooting energy balls. The only difference is that the sisters will now volley the ball to one another before tossing it your way. You will also want to avoid the energy ball consisting of many smaller balls. Avoid this attack and wait for a normal energy ball. Continue this until only one sister remains.

The final phase consists of one sister throwing three energy balls at you. Like before, only hit the large energy ball. Continue this until you have defeated the final Cubus Sister!

Grab the Ghost Key as well as the Heart Container in the treasure chest. Step on the blue portal and you will be warped to floor B1. Head once again for the staircase that heads down to floor B2. Follow the path eastward until you reach a large locked door. Open it to be reunited with Tetra (well sort-of).
