A fallen Dutch warship whose presence alone sends chills down pirates’ spines. If you’re ready to take on the dead, here’s how to find and beat the Ghost Ship in Skull and Bones.
How to find the Ghost Ship in Skull and Bones
Accept the Oceans Apart contract
Finding the Ghost Ship is much like finding the sea monster in Skull and Bones. The first way is to complete the dedicated contract called Oceans Apart, available from the Mysterious Rogue at The Oubliette outpost, southeast of Saint-Anne. Remember that it requires you to have a rank eight ship (bring a Padewakang, at the very least).
The contract will take you to the designated area east of The Oubliette, where you must defeat the Maangodin Ghost Ship. The quest states the ship only appears at night, but from what I saw, sunrise and sunset are also fine. As you get to the contract area, you’ll see a ship glowing with blue light, and this is where the fun begins.
Follow the Spectral Voyages Strange Sighting rumor
Another way to find a Ghost Ship is by following the Spectral Voyages Strange Sightings markers on the map. They appear randomly and look like a white circle with a black map. The marker often appears in the same area near The Oubliette outpost, so keep an eye out there.
As soon as the marker spawns, sail to it, and you’ll find the Ghost Ship. As with any rumor in Skull and Bones, Spectral Voyages Strange Sighting can expire if you don’t play it, meaning you’ll have to wait until it reappears.
How to beat the Ghost Ship in Skull and Bones
Maangodin is a much more challenging boss fight than the sea monster. At the beginning of the fight, the ship will be immune to your damage—attack Ghost Ship’s weak spots to make the rest of it vulnerable. From then on, as long as you keep firing at it, Maangodin should remain vulnerable throughout the fight.
This boss ship has a few powerful attacks. Its rocket barrage isn’t particularly strong, but it uses it very often. Stay mobile, and whatever it takes, don’t get in front of the ship. Maangodin is very fast and has a blue flamethrower at the front. If you misplace yourself on the battlefield, you’ll become easy prey for the ghosts.
The Ghost Ship has a lot of health, which is something you should keep in mind when embarking on this quest. I highly recommend you send out a help beacon or get friends to help you with this boss. Otherwise, you might spend a long time fighting it by yourself.
Ghost Ship rewards in Skull and Bones
If you manage to take the boss down, return to The Oubliette to collect your reward. Completing the Oceans Apart contract will give you 1,000 Silver, but the most important item is the drop from the boss—Ethereal Ashes.
Ethereal Ashes are used to purchase exclusive items from the Mysterious Rogue vendor at The Oubliette. Collect 75 of them, and you can get a blueprint for the Blue Specter fire weapon, which makes your ship spit out blue flames, just like the Maangodin.
