Learn how to defeat Black Ghosts in Voyagers, their spawn patterns, weaknesses, and best solo and team strategies to survive.

You think you are ready to take on the Kraken and end the game? Well, before you think about summoning the Kraken, you should know that it’s not the only thing you will be facing. A few more enemies will spawn on your ship: the Black Ghosts. While they are slower than other enemies, their ability to phase through objects makes them hard to kite and dangerous if ignored.
In this guide, we will tell you how to deal with them effectively. Also, make sure to join the official Voyagers Discord and Trello to stay updated and connected with the community.
What Are Black Ghosts in Voyagers?

- Ghostly enemies that can move through objects, making them harder to avoid.
- First wave spawns 10 minutes after starting, followed by three waves.
- Continue spawning at random intervals during the voyage.
- Their spawn count does not scale with player numbers, so solo players face the same as full crews.
Weaknesses of Black Ghosts

- You can defeat them with about 3 sword hits.
- Their movement is slow compared to other enemies, which gives you time to create distance and shoot them.
- They are vulnerable when they first spawn on the ship, especially if targeted quickly
Team Strategy To Defeat Black Ghosts

- Divide positions: Assign players to different ship areas, including the crow’s nest.
- Focus fire: Eliminate ghosts one by one instead of spreading damage.
- Distraction tactics: If someone needs to heal, another teammate should kite the last ghost.
- Cook food early: Properly cooked fish ensures the team can heal during waves.
Solo Strategy Against Black Ghosts
- Stay in the crow’s nest: Gives you the advantage of hitting ghosts as they spawn.
- Engage immediately: Don’t let waves build up, or ghosts will overwhelm you.
- Keep moving: Circle the ship and attack from maximum melee range.
- Heal smartly: Cook fish beforehand, and eat when hit to recover quickly.
Extra Survival Tips
- Eat cooked fish. If you eat raw or burnt fish twice in a row, your hunger will drain faster.
- Always stay moving; standing still gets you cornered.
- Save stamina for dodging when ghosts stack or spawn in tough spots.
Black Ghosts in Voyagers are tricky but manageable with the right preparation. Stay mobile, cook food in advance, and use smart positioning to clear them quickly, giving you the best chance to survive until the Kraken.
