Three Phantasms at the Miasmic Haunt
Phantasm is a Ghostly enemy in Dragon's Dogma.
Overview[]
Phantasms are electrically charged Ghosts commonly found in Gransys. They share similar abilities and properties of their lesser cousins, the Phantoms, including their immunity to physical attacks, but are stronger than those.
Phantasms are naturally electrified; physical contact may inflict Thundershock. They will cling onto their victims, affect their movement and drain their health rapidly. Pawns whose health is drained by Phantasms are not rendered unconscious but are returned to the rift and cannot be revived.

Attacks[]
| Attack | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Light Possession | Spec | Grabs onto a target's head, and drains very small amounts of health for around half a minute afore leaving its host. Whilst possessing an ally, the ghost is vulnerable to physical attacks.
Whilst in possession of a host, the ghost restores its health. |
| Heavy Possession | Spec | Grabs onto the head and upper body of a target, and drains large amounts of health every few seconds until its host dies. Whilst possessing a host, the ghost is vulnerable to physical attacks.
The amount of damage done is proportional to the hosts maximum Health and is not mitigated by elemental or possession resistances, or by magick defense. |
| Fade | Spec | The Phantasm will fade out of this plane to avoid damage for a time. When it reappears, it will be where it was before. |
| Floating Charge | Spec | This is the primary mode of moving. It will rush at targets, causing Stagger and dealing Lightning damage. |
| Ghostly Discharge | Spec | Starts glowing purple, increases in size and eventually discharge with thunderbolts, causing damage and staggering any near it.
The discharge also sometimes silences. |
Tactics[]
Phantasm in Soulflayer Canyon
- Vulnerable to magick attacks.
- Weak against Holy based magick and holy weapon enchantment.
- Immune to thunder based magick.
- Resistant to Great Sacrifice if directly hit.
Behaviour[]
- Physically attacking them often results in their disappearance and becoming temporarily intangible. They will reappear after a few seconds in the exact spot they were struck.
- For approximately 12 seconds at a time, Phantasms will extend their "hands" out to latch onto the party. After the 12 seconds expire, the Phantasm will resume free-floating for at least 4 seconds before it resumes its attack.
Possession[]
- Vulnerable to physical attacks when they possess allies.
- If a struck with a thunder enchanted weapon it will not break the Phantasm's hold.
- Whilst under the influence of ghosts, Pawns will not use healing curatives.
- A Phantasm's hold on a pawn can also be ended by grabbing and carrying the pawn.
- When adventuring solo, a ghost's possession attack may sometimes be broken physically by throwing an item, or by throwing an explosive against a nearby wall.

Pawn Chatter[]
- " 'Tis no common phantom!"
- "This phantom is charged with lightning!" (no Bestiary knowledge)
- "Lightning courses through them!"
- "The hairs on my neck stands on end..."
- "Don't allow it to possess you!"
- "It draws the life from its host!"
- "I feel pins and needles... Phantasms, Master."
- "A plague of phantasms!"
- "We must end this, quickly!"
- "My weapon passess through it!"
Notes[]
- The Legion's Might staff doesn't revive pawns slain by Phantasms.
- Phantasms absorb the same amount of health as Phantoms when possessing, but do so more often.
- The Wight at the Miasmic Haunt will cast Unholy Anodyne specifically to heal the Phantasms there.
- Usually appear in groups of two or three.
- Melee attacks with non-magickal weapons normally pass straight through ghosts. However when Magick Boosting Equipment is worn it adds a magick component to any attack, meaning even Unarmed Combat and all other melee attacks will strike the ghost, though likely not be powerful enough to damage it.
