Putrid Ghosts will intermittently slowly fly through walls towards the player and charge them at increased speed, dealing damage on hit. They can cast a spell that inflicts a [[Buffs|nauseated debuff]] on the player, preventing them from healing with food or drink for 2 minutes.

Putrid Ghosts will intermittently slowly fly through walls towards the player and charge them at increased speed, dealing damage on hit. They can cast a spell that inflicts a [[File:Nauseated.png|24px|link=Buffs#Nauseated]] [[Buffs#Nauseated|Nauseated]] debuff on the player, preventing them from healing with food or drink for 2 minutes. Eating [[Ginger]] or drinking [[Ginger Ale]] will cure the Nauseated debuff.

==Strategy==

==Strategy==

Stand still and swing at it with a sword or club right before it hits you. High-damage but slow weapons are more efficient than quick, low-damage weapons such as daggers. Ghosts are knocked back several tiles after being hit, so walking towards them may speed up the process of killing them. Otherwise, wait until they slowly float back towards you for another strike. When they are charging you, run and make a sharp turn. This will cause him to miss his green fireball.

Stand still and swing at it with a sword or club right before it hits you. Ghosts are knocked back several tiles after being hit, so walking towards them may speed up the process of killing them. If you have the [[Skills#Combat|Desperado profession]], a special attack from an [[Iridium Needle]] or [[Dragontooth Shiv]] forged with 3 [[Aquamarine]]s has a good chance to defeat this enemy in one shot. Otherwise, use your best weapon with a Crusader [[Forge#Enchantments|enchantment]], and wait until they slowly float back towards you for another strike. When they are charging you, run and make a sharp turn to avoid their green fireballs.

[[Ginger]] and [[Ginger Ale]] cure the Nauseated debuff.

*[[Ectoplasm]] can only drop if the [[Quests#A Curious Substance|"A Curious Substance"]] quest is active.
