Navigate the Ghost Ship in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Rescue trapped sisters, solve puzzles, and defeat the Diabolical Cubus Sisters.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Ghost Ship entrance, head left to a lower level. Kill rats, then jump across a gap to find a chest containing a Helmaroc Plume.
  2. 2
    Return up and left into a room with three ghosts. Stand back and use a targeted attack to defeat them.
  3. 3
    Proceed to the Girl in Red, who explains her sisters are trapped and asks for rescue.
  4. 4
    Head north through the door and kill the Skulltullas that drop. Use your Boomerang to hit the switch behind the barrels, lowering spikes.
  5. 5
    Continue through the room with the blue fire arm, killing the ghost, and then cross the lowered spikes.
  6. 6
    Head north to a switch and activate it to stop the spikes from moving.
  7. 7
    Follow the walkway, avoiding more Skulltullas, until you reach a blue flame. Jump across the gap and proceed south.
  8. 8
    Go down and right, killing rats and Skulltullas. Head up through spikes and hit the switch.
  9. 9
    Grab the chest containing the triangle crystal and carry it back to the pedestal near the blue flames to lower them.
  10. 10
    Return to the Girl in Red and talk to her.
  11. 11
    Escort the girl back to her sister, avoiding traps and reappeared Skulltullas. Talk to her if she cowers.
  12. 12
    Head back across the walkway, through the room with the spinning blue fire, and return the girl to her younger sister.
  13. 13
    Go back east and down the stairs.
  14. 14
    In the room with safe zones and Reaplings (similar to Phantoms but without soul draining), proceed right through spikes to a safe zone.
  15. 15
    Once the Reapling is gone, go left and up through more spikes, then west to find the girl in orange.
  16. 16
    Escort this girl to where her other two sisters are. Activate the switch in the safe zone and exit.
  17. 17
    The girl will mention a treasure across the hall; take the right chest for a yellow potion. The left chest contains a 10 Rupoor and summons a Reapling.
  18. 18
    Continue back towards the stairs. Be careful, as the girl may shriek near spiders, alarming Reaplings.
  19. 19
    Go east and up the stairs.
  20. 20
    Once upstairs, draw the girl close to a spider to scare her, then run back downstairs.
  21. 21
    Go to the center and grab the chest containing the round crystal. Take it upstairs and place it on the pedestal to lower the blue flames.
  22. 22
    Talk to the girl again and escort her back to her sisters.
  23. 23
    Go back downstairs.
  24. 24
    Head to the southwest corner and down the stairs.
  25. 25
    Go east, past a Skulltulla and a ghost, to a room with five Skulltullas. Defeat them to lower flames to the north.
  26. 26
    Proceed through, but do not go to the safe zone to the east, as its switch lowers spikes to a dropping floor and summons a Reapling.
  27. 27
    Head north and then west to find a stone slab showing the lever order: 2 4 5 1 3. Pull the levers in this sequence: second from the right, far left, second from the left, far right, and middle.
  28. 28
    Head to where the spikes have been lowered. Break barrels to find a switch, then step on it to lower flames to the west.
  29. 29
    Go around and stop at the smaller safe zone for a chest with a Big Red Rupee (200 Rupees).
  30. 30
    Go to the far northwest corner and pick up the shaking barrel to find the girl in green.
  31. 31
    As you exit, she will hint that shooting Reaplings in the back with arrows stuns them.
  32. 32
    Head back to the entrance and up the stairs.
  33. 33
    Proceed upstairs, avoiding Reaplings, and take the girl back to her sisters to the west.
  34. 34
    The sisters will attack and take you to the top level for the boss battle.

Tips
  • When dealing with ghosts, stand back to avoid their attacks before using a targeted strike.
  • Be mindful of the girl's reactions to spiders and Reaplings during escort sections.
  • The lever puzzle requires careful observation of the diagram and correct lever sequence.
  • The chest to the left in one room contains a 10 Rupoor and summons a Reapling, so avoid it.
  • The hint about shooting Reaplings in the back with arrows can be useful for stunning them to pass safely.
