Midnight Event Guide
Village in the Shade White Ghost Guide
Approach the White Ghost (白いお化け) on the road toward the Mountain Pass and follow it at a steady distance. Do not let it get too far ahead. If the gap becomes too large, it changes into an aggressive form and chases you, and you lose the reward condition for that attempt. Follow it normally to the tunnel area before the pass to complete the event correctly.
The event is about controlled following, not catching or attacking the ghost. Keep pace without falling too far behind.
English anomaly and item names currently follow the site's Japanese-release terminology and may be updated after the official English localization can be verified on October 27, 2026.

How to follow the White Ghost
01
Find it on the road to the pass
During Midnight, head along the road from the village toward the Mountain Pass and look for 白いお化け. No fixed coordinate or additional season/weather gate is established.
02
Approach to start the event
Once you get close enough, the White Ghost starts moving toward the pass. No interaction button or exact trigger distance is documented.
03
Follow at a controlled distance
Let it move ahead of you and follow steadily from behind. Stay reasonably close without assuming you must stand directly beside it.
04
Avoid the chase state
If you fall too far behind, the White Ghost changes into a frightening, oni-like form, turns around and chases you. Contact can damage you.
05
Reach the tunnel-front area
Continue toward the Mountain Pass tunnel. The source says the ghost stops at the tunnel-front area; destination interaction details are not separately documented.
06
Keep the reward condition
If the chase state never triggered, the attempt remains reward-eligible. If it did trigger, arriving later does not restore the reward for that attempt.
White Ghost Route
- Start
- Road from the village toward the Mountain Pass
- Direction
- Toward the pass
- Finish
- Mountain Pass tunnel-front area
The current site location label is Mountain Pass. No coordinates or over-precise turn-by-turn route are added.
Do Not Let the White Ghost Get Too Far Ahead
The distance is the core mechanic. Follow at a steady pace rather than sprinting ahead or allowing the ghost to disappear into the distance. The reliable rule is qualitative: stay reasonably close and do not let the gap become too large.
No exact safe distance in meters, tiles or character lengths is currently documented.

Why Did the White Ghost Attack Me?
You let the distance become too large.
When the White Ghost gets too far ahead, it changes into a frightening form and turns back to chase you. This is a chase-state transformation, not a signal to attack it.
Why Didn't I Get the Reward?
The chase state had already invalidated the reward condition for that attempt.
Reaching the tunnel afterward does not restore the reward. Current reliable sources do not establish a fixed retry timing, so this page does not promise a same-night or next-night retry.
Verified White Ghost Rewards
The current Japanese source names the following reward examples. It does not establish a complete loot table or whether both appear together, so these are not presented as guaranteed simultaneous rewards.

Why Isn't the White Ghost Event Working?
I found it, but it attacked me
You likely fell too far behind and triggered the chase state. No combat reset is documented.
I reached the tunnel but got no reward
The chase state was triggered earlier, so the reward condition for that attempt was lost.
I cannot find the White Ghost
Confirm Midnight, the road toward the Mountain Pass and an active event. No fixed spawn guarantee is established.
I do not know how close to stay
Use a moderate, controlled following distance. No reliable numeric distance is documented.
Can I run ahead of it?
The documented failure condition is letting the gap become too large. Overtaking is not separately established as a failure.
Can I retry after failing?
Retry timing is unresolved. The event is not labeled permanently missable, and no reload instruction is required by the verified source.
