Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the area, which costs 5,000 Gold. You will be trapped inside.
  2. 2
    Head left. Gather gems and avoid ghosts. Jump near the ladder to reveal another ghost, then destroy the lower left wall to find a light ball that destroys ghosts. Use it to clear all ghosts in the room.
  3. 3
    Head up the ladder and destroy the left wall to enter a secret room. Navigate the difficult platforming section to find a [_MUSIC SHEET_] and a [_CHEST_]. Use any food found and return to the previous room.
  4. 4
    Use the white balls to destroy ghosts. One spawns above, and another appears after destroying walls under the central platform. Use a white ball to reach gems on the right. Clear all ghosts and proceed right.
  5. 5
    Talk to patrons if desired and continue right. Use the two white balls on either side of the large wall to destroy the ghost on the left.
  6. 6
    In the next area, destroy the top ghost first, then the bottom one. This clears the room. Head down the ladder to the room below.
  7. 7
    Destroy the lower right wall to find another hidden room. Collect the full meal and the [_CHEST_] containing gems and a [_MUSIC SHEET_].
  8. 8
    PSN Players Only: In this hidden room, perform a downward strike on the right wall to break the floor. Head right to collect the [_CURIONS MAP_] featuring the God of War Omega Symbol.
  9. 9
    Return to the previous screen. Destroy the ghost (you may need to make it reappear). Hit the top of the divider to open the room to the left. Use the orb there to destroy the two ghosts.
  10. 10
    Head left to face the boss: the Master Ghost.

Boss Fight: Master Ghost

  • Stats / Weaknesses: The Master Ghost is vulnerable only to the white orbs found in the arena. It is large and can float high, requiring multiple hits from the orb to reach.
  • Phases:
    1. The Master Ghost phases out and dashes repeatedly (4-5 times).
    2. It uses smaller ghosts as a shield and offensive weapon.
    3. After losing about half its health, it summons two hovering green skulls that drop smaller skulls.
  • Strategy: Use the white orbs to damage the Master Ghost. Aim carefully when it floats high. Dodge its phase dashes. Quickly eliminate the smaller ghosts when they appear. Avoid the skulls dropped by the green skull enemies.

After the fight, the hostess will thank you.
