[edit] Walkthrough
Warning: This miniquest can take people into dangerous parts of the Wilderness. Beware of Revenants. All of the Mysterious ghosts appear at all of their possible spots, but only one at a location will give you their piece of the set.
[edit] Valdez the Explorer
- Go to Glarial's Tomb north of East Ardougne. Make sure you are wearing your ring of visibility and your ghostspeak amulet. The ghost will not appear as a dot on the minimap.
- When you speak to him he will introduce himself and relate his part of the story. He will then give you a Ghostly robe top.
- He requests you to find another ghost named Rennard.
Now there are three possible sequences of ghosts you need to visit:
| Number | Ghost | Sequence 1 | Sequence 2 | Sequence 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rennard | Near the shipwrecked ship near the Pirates' Hideout | Bandit Camp (Wilderness) | Bandit Camp (Kharidian Desert) |
| 2 | Kharrim | Zamorak altar in Level 38 wilderness (west) | Graveyard of Shadows | Centre of the Lava maze |
| 3 | Lennissa | Church on Entrana | Port Sarim docks | Gnomeball field |
| 4 | Dhalak | Wizards tower | Second floor of Monastery | Upstairs in Party room |
| 5 | Viggora | Second floor of the Rogues' castle in the wilderness | Second floor of Slayer tower in Canifis | Edgeville dungeon near Earth Warriors |
[edit] Rennard the Thief
- He will tell you where to find Rennard. The location of all the subsequent ghosts is randomised but is hinted by the previous ghost. Rennard will be in one of the following places. If you go to the wrong location, a ghost will be there but you will have a meaningless conversation with it.
- Bandit Camp (Kharidian Desert)
- Bandit Camp (Wilderness)
- Submerged ship up in level 56 Wilderness (between Wilderness Agility Course and Pirates' Hideout)
- When you find him he will just be called 'Mysterious Ghost' again (as with the rest of the ghosts). He will give you a pair of Ghostly gloves. It is recommended that you drop the gloves several times and ask for another pair, as getting deep into the wilderness takes time.
- He wants you to find Kharrim now.
[edit] Kharrim the Messenger
- Kharrim will be in one of these locations:
- End of the Lava Maze (Wilderness)
- Graveyard of Shadows (Wilderness, Carrallangar)
- Altar in level 38 west side of Wilderness near the Lava Maze
- Head to this location and talk to Kharrim.
- He will give you some Ghostly boots and ask you to find Lennissa.
[edit] Lennissa the Spy
- Lennissa may be in:
- Port Sarim at the Lady Lumbridge (Hard to see against the dock)
- Gnomeball field, near the southern viewing platform.
- Entrana church
- Once at one of these places, look for Lennissa and speak to her.
- She will give you the Ghostly robe bottom and ask you to find Dhalak.
[edit] Dhalak the Magician
- Dhalak may be in:
- Once found, talk to Dhalak.
- He should give you the Ghostly hood and tell you to find the last ghost, Viggora.
[edit] Viggora the Warrior
- Viggora will be found at one of these locations:
- Canifis Slayer Tower (near Infernal mages)
- Paddewwa -> Edgeville dungeon (near Earth warriors)
- The earth warriors can be rather bothersome, since you CAN'T trap them behind the ghost (they just walk through the ghost). If you get this location, you'll likely have to wait for the warriors to become tolerant before you can talk to Viggora.
- Rogue's Castle in the Wilderness, second floor, easternmost room (beware of the Chaos Elemental!)
- Listen to what he has to say and then he will give you the final robe piece, the Ghostly cloak.
[edit] Reward
A male player wearing the ghostly robes.
- Ghostly robes
- Upon completion, you can talk to Historian Minas on the 2nd floor of the Varrock Museum and receive 10 kudos.
[edit] Trivia
- If you speak to any of the ghosts without a Ghostspeak amulet, your character may say "all your base are belong to us", as well as some other quotes. These are references to famous translation errors in the game Zero Wing.
- If you lose any part of your ghostly robe set, you will have to go back to the ghost that you got it from.
- It is possible to have more than one set of ghostly robes. Players would need to drop the part that they wanted extras of and talk to the ghost again. (NOTE: You must not have any of the robes that you want in your bank) Therefore, the most sets of robes you can get at once is 29 (28 in your inventory and wearing 1) you cannot use familiars to store the robes. This was the case until a player figured out that you could drop and run back for more. The proof can be watched here.
- When speaking to Rennard, your player says "I ain't scared of no ghost," a possible spin-off of "I ain't afraid of no ghost" from the Ghostbusters theme song.
- If you have 99 magic, when talking to Dhalak he will ask you "Be you some mighty sorcerer to bind me or so?" and you will reply "Well, I don't mean to brag, but I guess I am with my 99 magic..."
- If you wear the Ghostly Robes with Ava's Attractor/Accumulator and you look straight through your chest, you will not see it, despite the fact that you can see other things through the robes. The same goes for wearing a necklace or amulet and looking through your back.
- If you equip a ring of visibility that is in your inventory while you have one already equipped, you will not be able to see the ghosts. You have to un-equip the ring that you are currently wearing, and re-equip it in order to see the ghosts again.
