Shrouded Ghost

  • Hi all,

    Wanted to discuss the elusive Shrouded Ghost Meg.

    I haven’t seen this Meg during my time sailing the seas since the Shrouded Spoils update. We all know it’s super rare.

    I wanted to just bring a thread to these forums where we can discuss the Shrouded Ghost.

    Has anyone here defeated it? If so - Where did you find it? Did it take longer than the other Megs to be defeated? Were the treasure rewards incredible and matched the rarity of the Meg?

    Are there any valid tips to increase chance of seeing the Shrouded Ghost?

    I was once told it was only found in the Shroud (fog) and so for a few weeks I would venture into the fog every time it spawned. Even if it was only for the eery atmosphere of creaking through the fog with that foghorn soundtrack - I didn’t feel like I wasted my time but I did get the impression that it made no difference if I was in the shroud after a few weeks.

    Does anyone have viable clues to finding the Shrouded ghost? Please share them here.

    I wondered whether the Shrouded ghost needed to be summoned in similar fashion to the original Hungering Deep campaign where multiple crews of pirates have the Meg tattoo and at least 5 pirates all play Merrick’s tune that got introduced in the Hungering Deep.

    Or I wondered whether you need to be carrying one or several Athena chest of legends to ever have the Shrouded ghost be summoned.

    Clues, tips, and stories to be shared here please.

  • I've defeated the Shrouded Ghost only once, and it was near Crooked Masts. The loot wasn't anything outstanding (a Captains Chest and a Marauder's Chest). The Shrouded Ghost is about the same difficulty as normal Megs out in the world. I've heard a rumor that you have to kill other Megs for it to spawn, but for me she rolled up clear as day without killing any prior Megs myself. Best of luck to you finding her, as she is real and a beauty to see.

  • @ell635 I got a friend who fought the beast and a friend of a friend who has fought it. Both say that the beast is the same as other megs when it comes to difficulty and reward. Location isn’t specific as you can see by any video made with the ghost being battled. The being in a fog to get a better chance of summoning is false.

    Truthfully getting the ghost is luck of the draw with some theory that based on lanterns you have a higher chance to get certain megs, for the ghost it’s getting the white lantern. I don’t know if it’s true but it’s worth a shot.

  • @scallywagmango Those rumors are nothing but that. When I met the Shrouded Ghost it was the very first fin my crew and I saw in that session.

    @WestStormborn Add one to your list: There was absolutely nothing that made Shrouded Ghost different besides her color. I can't remember the exact loot because it was nothing memorable, just 3 pieces of stuff you can find on beaches.

  • I fought it one day with a friend. A skeleton ship came after us at the same time. The Skeleton ship must have gotten credit for the kill because we never did.

  • The Shrouded Ghost is a random spawn and sadly there's nothing you can do to get a greater chance at it to spawn. The best way to find it is to simply keep sailing and play the game. One day you'll get lucky and find the elusive beauty that is the white Meg. I only hope that you that day has made sure to stock up on plenty of cannonballs.

  • you have to execute the ritual dance

  • Thanks everybody for replying!

    I shall continue to hope that one of these days the Shrouded ghost will appear for me and my crew!

    It’s disappointing to hear that a Meg so ultra rare has no increased difficulty and no increased value of loot.

    I would hope Rare make defeating the Shrouded ghost more challenging and more rewarding too.

    Some Megs I defeated I got two ancient bone dust crates which I thought was crazy. I would expect the same sort of thing or even better for the Shrouded Ghost!

  • @edemardil I would have died inside if that happened to me.

  • @ell635 I mean, shrouded ghost is just another meg after all, no special loot, the fight isn't more difficult, the meg isn't larger or more aggresive. I think its just a random megalodon encounter. The porblem is that you just have to be extremely lucky. This is how I imagine it: ?% to spawn random event --- 50% Megalodon spawn / 50% Kraken spawn --- 80% Hungering One / 60% Crested Queen / 40% Shadowmaw / 20% Ancient Terror and finally about less than 1% is Shrouded Ghost. And that is how lucky you have to be to catch it.

  • One thing that dosent make any sense is that we need to kill her 5 times for the accomendation how!?!?!
    It is broken to think that we would find her five times.

  • These are all tales of legends told for a long long time. None knows if they are even true.....

    We all know that the Shrouded Ghost doesn't exist!

    ps as you might suspect i have never ever seen her in all my hours on the seas! (can't check my hours of footage on YT from mobile :()

  • I found it in the devil's roar surrounded by fog, haven't seen it since. Loot wasn't anything great but oh that title :D

  • @approvedjoey said in Shrouded Ghost:

    @edemardil I would have died inside if that happened to me.

    Same. I'm also going to throw something through the window if I get too close to a rock and it leaves when I finally encounter it!

    or #the meg is a lie sort've like the cake is a lie

  • @closinghare208 I too began to think it was a myth and given up hope but then a few weeks ago it finally happened....the all too familiar sounds of a meg encounter but when I glanced back and looked it was white as snow and at the time it did feel like a late/early Christmas present. I feel like the battle was the same as any other and the loot dropped was as random as other megs. No real strategy for getting it to spawn other than kill all megs you encounter and maybe it will increase the chance of it spawning in. As of now it was the only one I've seen no matter how hard I've looked.

  • Sigh... I've seen it twice but on neither occasion could I kill it.
    1st time I had a noob crew from hell who didn't even know what was going on and we sunk (probably the maddest I've ever gotten over this game), and the 2nd time it simply despawned.
    The first time I saw it it was in a storm at night, the 2nd encounter was in normal weather at midday, it spawns randomly like all megs.

    it has to be watch the captain falcore video

  • I've heard it was white with pink eyes and aggressive.

    I've heard it's more likely to appear in a fog, which is where I saw it, had neither the boards nor balls to kill it and a hold full of loot.

    I have not heard the lantern theory tho, could someone fill me in?

    And as popular saying goes around our house goes pics or it didn't happen

  • @pithyrumble
    Dont believe any of the dumb theories out there.
    Its completly random. There are a few YT vids of ppl killin it.
    There are also a million bunk vidoes out there tellin you that u have to do this or that to get it to spawn. All fake bait mate.

  • @nwo-azcrack

    Aye, but I'm superstitious... remember my fun with the Obsidian set lol.

  • @triheadedmonkey
    Forgot all about the language. Sorry

  • 20million meters sailed no ghost yet

  • It has a very very low spawn rate, don't bother.

  • @pithyrumble you've seen it?

    Pics or it didn't happen right?

  • In my humble opinion...

    SOT needs more things like the ghost, but I would much prefer a devastating encounter with a buffed spawn rate, than a copy and paste encounter with an extremely (excessively, even) rare spawn rate.

    When I show off titles, I want them to show off my accolades. Though as it stand, I can’t really wear a Meg title with pride, simply due to how easy these cute little piranhas are to defeat. You know?

    I want titles for killing beasts that wow other players. I so hope Rare continues to add to the game’s bestiary, but works to improve their difficulties. Nonetheless, I’m loving the state of the game so far.
