Ghost Hunting Tips for Stardew Valley
Ghosts are one of the more complicated things monster in Stardew Valley, due to the ability to go through walls and dodge after each hit. The ghosts will begin drifting towards the player as soon as they reach a new level of Mines or Skull Cavern. Although they can overcome obstacles, their flight speed is slower than bats so it can take a while for them to arrive.
Ghost has a high amount of HP and damage, but is very vulnerable to bullets due to its slow speed. Unfortunately, the Ghosts will slide back a long distance each time they are hit and it will take a few seconds for them to get back into range. This can be especially frustrating when fighting other enemies, and makes killing Ghosts very time consuming. The best strategy to deal with the Ghosts of Stardew Valley is to use slow, heavy weapon, giving them little chance to retreat and attack again.
