When you challenge him, he swells in size, and summons ghost archers to aid him. The Ghost King will summon archers depending on how strong you are, so gather a group of friends and anger and then prepare for a boss battle! He becomes invulnerable for a long duration, and will become vulnerable if either A: You kill the Ghost Master, or B: You wait the Ghost King out. Either situations end in the Ghost King walking back and forth, vulnerable, and easy to kill at that point onward.
Spawns:
Ghost Master
Small Ghost
Medium Ghost (when buffed)
Large Ghost (when buffed)
Notes:
Being an evaluation boss, he can become stronger as you do more damage during his evaluation phase. However, the Ghost King only spawns more Ghost Archers to fight as he is buffed, and does not spawn any special enemy like an Ent Ancient or Lich would. The number of Ghost Archers on a buffed Ghost King (as many as 24, including the Ghost Master, when fully buffed) can put out substantial EXP. But be careful and prepared; the sheer amount of arrows can still be lethal, especially to low defense characters.
The Ghost Master is always spawned on the very right side (at 0 degrees orientation). He can be “spotted” by hitting him until he grows to the size of a Large Ghost. He will then fire four arrows at an odd angle, thereby making him easy to locate. Targeting him first will allow you to kill the Ghost King faster.
Another way to know which Ghost Archer is the Ghost Master is to look at his health bar. You will notice that his health bar will not go down while damaging him, unlike the others, and will only start going down when the Ghost King is vulnerable.
This is a prime situation where the Staff of Extreme Prejudice shines, as a staff class with maxed Defense can almost instantly obliterate both the Ghost King and his attendants by simply sitting on top of them, shrugging off most of the damage dealt back in return. However, high defense does not mean invincibility, and unless one has a decent healing pet or is a Necromancer, health can be whittled down very quickly.
