mr:ghost_npc

Machine-readable reference page for the Sad Ghost (quest-giver NPC) in Remixed Dungeon. Note: this page previously existed as “mr:ghost_mob” and incorrectly described a nonexistent combat mob; all facts below are grounded in the actual implementation.

Class File:

• File: Ghost.java
• Path: com/watabou/pixeldungeon/actors/mobs/npcs/Ghost.java
• Entity Kind: Ghost
• Type: NPC (extends NPC, not a combat mob)
• Sprite config: spritesDesc/Ghost.json

Note: There is no combat mob named Ghost in the codebase. The generated entity list (entities/mobs.txt) contains “Ghost”, but the class is an NPC quest-giver spawned on SewerLevel via Ghost.Quest.spawn().

Basic Stats (from the Ghost.java constructor and method overrides):

• HP: not damageable — damage() is overridden to a no-op
• defenseSkill: 1000 (defenseSkill() returns a constant)
• Speed: 0.5 (speed() returns 0.5f)
• Flying: true
• EXP: none
• Immunities: Paralysis, Stun, Roots (addImmunity in constructor; add(Buff) always returns false)

Lua Definition:

• No Lua script - implemented in Java

• Wandering AI state by default
• Once the quest is given, 10% chance per turn to follow the hero's control target position
• Teleports randomly if interacted with again before the quest item is obtained

• Spawned on SewerLevel when depth > 1 with probability Random.Int(5 - depth) == 0
• Two quest variants chosen at random (Quest.alternative):
  • Rose Quest: find the Dried Rose; it drops after killing mobs (Random.Int(left2kill) == 0, left2kill starts at 8)
  • Revenge Quest: slay the Fetid Rat spawned by Ghost.Quest.process()
• Reward: weapon and armor via Treasury.bestOf(category, 4), identified
• Necromancer Interaction: Necromancer heroes can persuade/dominate the ghost via WndSadGhostNecro (persuade flag bypasses the item requirement)
• Journal entry: Journal.Feature.GHOST

• HP: 15, defenseSkill 5, attackSkill 12, dmg 2-6, dr 2, expForKill 0
• Emits ParalyticGas on defenseProc
• Carries RatSkull; immune to Paralysis
