A complete guide to the Ghost Ship in Dragon Quest III, including treasure locations, enemy encounters, and how to find this elusive vessel.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Ghost Ship typically spawns after acquiring the Boatman's Bone. To make it appear, save and reload your game in Portoga; it often spawns east of the town. Check your map to locate it and sail aboard. Ensure it is nighttime.
  2. 2
    Head to the northernmost part of the ship to find a barrel containing a Fading Jenny. You will also encounter the Friendly Monster Squidzilla (Inky) here.
  3. 3
    Proceed to the southern part of the ship and take the east stairs up. Search the pot to the east for Boxer Shorts.
  4. 4
    Return downstairs, then go west and south into a room. Search the barrel at the top right for a Silver Rosary.
  5. 5
    Descend the stairs to the west to reach Basement 1. Here you will find Olivia's lover, Eric.
  6. 6
    On Basement 1, navigate to the northern part of the ship. In a room, a drawer contains a Garter (Vamp). Cast Padfoot and head east to find the Friendly Monster Walking Corpse (Grim).
  7. 7
    Return south, past the stairs you descended, then go east into a Treasure Room. The chest at the bottom left is a Mimic. The other four chests contain: Poison Needle, Sizeable Scissors, Moonwort Bulb, and Cower Ring (Wimp).
  8. 8
    Search the barrels for Mini Medal #67. Finally, search the pots for 3,190 gold.
  9. 9
    Exit the Treasure Room and go south to the bedroom to find the final chest containing the Lover's Locket.

    After collecting all treasures, depart the Ghost Ship and head towards Olivia's Promontory.
