Ghoul Race is a special race in Blox Fruits known for its close-range combat and strong sustain. It provides life leech, cooldown-related abilities, and increased movement speed, making it particularly useful for players who enjoy PvP and melee-focused gameplay.
What Are the Requirements to Get Ghoul Race?
Before collecting the required materials, make sure you meet the following requirements:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Minimum Level | 1,000 |
| Sea | Second Sea |
| Location | Cursed Ship |
| Ectoplasm | 100 |
| Special Item | 1 Hellfire Torch |
| NPC | Experimic |
Once unlocked, Ghoul will remain available in your race selection. Even if you switch to another race later, you can return to Experimic and switch back to Ghoul for free.
How to Get 100 Ectoplasm in Blox Fruits
First, you need to collect 100 Ectoplasm.
Head to the Cursed Ship in the Second Sea and defeat the enemies aboard to obtain Ectoplasm. Several enemies can drop this material, but Ship Stewards are particularly recommended because they are good targets for farming.
The Cursed Captain is another source of Ectoplasm and can also drop this material when defeated.
How to Check Your Ectoplasm
You don't need to return to an NPC every time you want to check how much Ectoplasm you have. There is an easier way:
- Open your Inventory.
- Type Ectoplasm into the search bar.
- Check your current amount.
- Once you have collected 100, you can move on to the next required item.
How to Get Hellfire Torch
Head to the second floor of the Cursed Ship and enter the large room where the Cursed Captain spawns. Defeat him for a chance to obtain Hellfire Torch. The estimated drop rate is around 1%.
When the boss spawns, a red message will appear in the game chat:
A shiver runs down your spine...
Cursed Captain Spawn Notification
Once you see this message, the Cursed Captain has appeared, and you can head to the second floor to find him.
How to Farm Hellfire Torch Faster
The Cursed Captain does not spawn constantly. Community sources indicate that he usually appears once every three in-game nights, although the exact timing may vary depending on the server.
If you defeat the Cursed Captain but don't receive Hellfire Torch, don't waste time waiting around. Switch to another server and look for the next available boss spawn. Alternatively, you can wait until the sun is about to set before starting another farming attempt.
Important Tip: Hellfire Torch is a special quest item that you need to protect. Dying, disconnecting, or leaving the server may cause you to lose it. Once you obtain the Torch, head straight to Experimic and complete the Ghoul exchange instead of continuing to farm.
Where to Find Experimic and Unlock Ghoul Race
Once you have 100 Ectoplasm and Hellfire Torch, you can visit Experimic to unlock Ghoul.
Experimic is located in the Kitchen on the first floor of the Cursed Ship. He will ask whether you want to exchange 100 Ectoplasm for Ghoul Race. Simply accept the exchange to obtain Ghoul Race V1. Your character will then automatically respawn with Ghoul equipped.
Ghoul V2 – Complete the Flower Quest
Before starting the Alchemist's Flower Quest, you must complete the Colosseum Quest.
Once you meet this requirement, head to the Green Zone in the Second Sea and find the Alchemist. Talk to him to accept the Flower Quest.
You need to collect three different flowers:
| Flower | How to Get |
|---|---|
| Blue Flower | Spawns at specific locations during nighttime |
| Red Flower | Spawns at specific locations during daytime |
| Yellow Flower | Randomly dropped by Second Sea NPC enemies |
Once you have collected all three flowers, return to the Alchemist and hand them over. Pay 500,000 Beli to unlock Ghoul V2.
Ghoul V3 – Defeat Five Players
To upgrade to Ghoul V3, you need to find Arowe. He is located inside a secret cave beneath the Diamond spawn area.
Before starting Arowe's quest, you must defeat Don Swan and unlock access to his room. Swan Glasses are a possible drop from Don Swan, but you do not need them to unlock Ghoul V3.
After meeting the prerequisites, talk to Arowe. You also need to pay 2,000,000 Beli and complete his assigned quest: defeat five eligible players.
Tip: You can defeat the same player five times, so having a friend help you can make this quest much faster.
Once you finish the quest, return to Arowe to unlock Ghoul V3.
Ghoul V4 – Complete Trial of Carnage
Ghoul V4 is the final awakening stage of Ghoul Race. Unlike V1, V2, and V3, unlocking V4 requires completing the Race Awakening Puzzle in the Third Sea, obtaining a special item called Blue Gear, and teaming up with other players to participate in the Race Trial.
Ghoul V4 Unlocking Roadmap
Ghoul V3 → Rip_indra → Sealed King → Temple of Time
Dough King → Mirror Fractal → Mirage Island → Moon Resonance → Blue Gear
Pull the Hidden Lever → Form a Three-Player Team → Trial of Carnage → Final PvP Battle → Ancient Clock
Ancient One → Awakening Training → Pay Fragments → Participate in More Trials
Stage 1: Complete the Race Awakening Prerequisites
Before searching for Blue Gear, make sure you meet the following requirements:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Sea | Third Sea |
| Race | Ghoul V3 |
| Boss | Rip_indra True Form |
| Special Item | Mirror Fractal |
| Mirror Fractal Source | Dough King |
| Quest NPC | Sealed King |
| Teleport NPC | Mysterious Force |
Step 1: Defeat Rip_indra True Form
Head to Castle on the Sea in the Third Sea and defeat Rip_indra True Form.
After defeating the boss, go to the stone tablet behind the Rip_indra arena and interact with it to begin the Race Awakening Puzzle.
Step 2: Find Mysterious Force
Head to the Great Tree and climb to the top to find Mysterious Force.
Talk to this NPC, and you will be teleported to the Temple of Time.
Once inside, find and talk to the required NPC in the Temple of Time to continue the puzzle.
After completing this conversation, return to the stone tablet behind the Rip_indra arena and interact with it again to progress the quest.
Make sure you complete these interactions in order before moving on to Mirage Island.
Stage 2: Get Mirror Fractal and Blue Gear
This stage requires defeating Dough King and exploring Mirage Island.
Step 3: Defeat Dough King to Get Mirror Fractal
Head to Cake Land in the Third Sea, complete the preparations required to summon Dough King, and defeat the boss.
Dough King drops Mirror Fractal, which is required for the Moon Resonance process on Mirage Island.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Boss | Dough King |
| Location | Cake Land |
| Required Item | Mirror Fractal |
| Purpose | Used for Moon Resonance on Mirage Island |
Important Difference: Dough King provides Mirror Fractal, while Rip_indra is required to progress through the Sealed King quest. These are separate prerequisites and cannot replace each other.
Step 4: Find Mirage Island
After obtaining Mirror Fractal, search for Mirage Island in the Third Sea.
Mirage Island is a special island that spawns randomly, so finding it may take some time.
Once you reach the island:
- Make sure Mirror Fractal is in your Inventory.
- Wait until nighttime.
- Climb to the highest point on the island.
- Face the moon in the sky.
- Activate Ghoul V3's Heightened Senses ability.
- Wait for the resonance message to appear.
Once successful, you will see the following message:
Your Mirror Fractal has resonated with the moon.
Moon Resonance Success Notification
There is one important detail that players often get wrong:
You do not need a Full Moon to obtain Blue Gear. As long as it is nighttime and you successfully complete the Mirror Fractal resonance, you can continue searching for Blue Gear. A Full Moon is only required later when starting the Race Trial.
Step 5: Find and Touch the Blue Gear
After completing Moon Resonance, Blue Gear will spawn somewhere on Mirage Island.
You need to locate and touch it before nighttime ends.
Once you collect it, you will have the key item needed to unlock the hidden Trial entrance in the Temple of Time.
Simply seeing the moon glow or receiving the resonance message is not enough. You must physically find and touch Blue Gear to complete this step.
Stage 3: Unlock the Trial Doors in Temple of Time
Step 6: Pull the Hidden Lever
After obtaining Blue Gear, return to the Temple of Time.
Follow these steps:
- Enter the Temple of Time.
- Head down the left hallway.
- Look for the hidden lever on the wall.
- Interact with the lever.
- Once activated, the hidden Race Trial entrance will open.
If you haven't obtained Blue Gear, the lever will not activate properly.
Note: You generally only need to complete this step once. You do not need to find Blue Gear or pull the lever again when participating in future Race Trials.
Stage 4: Prepare Your Team and Start the Race Trial
You cannot complete the Race Trial alone. You need at least three players with different races to participate together.
Team Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Minimum Players | 3 |
| Races | Each player must have a different race |
| Race Level | V3 or higher |
| Time | Full Moon |
| Activation | All three players must activate their Race Ability |
| Entry Location | Each player's corresponding Trial Door |
For example, you can form a team like this:
Three-Player Team Example
| Player 1 | Ghoul V3 |
| Player 2 | Human V3 |
| Player 3 | Shark V3 |
How to Start the Trial
- Wait for a Full Moon.
- Have all three players stand in front of their corresponding Trial Doors.
- Make sure everyone has unlocked V3.
- All three players must activate their Race Ability at the same time.
- Enter the corresponding Trial rooms.
If players share the same race, haven't reached V3, or the Full Moon requirement isn't met, the Trial will not start properly.
Stage 5: Complete Trial of Carnage
After entering the Ghoul Trial Door, you will be teleported to a closed combat arena.
Two types of enemies will appear:
- Ancient Zombies
- Ancient Vampires
You must defeat all of them before the time runs out.
Trial of Carnage Requirements
| Item | Trial Details |
|---|---|
| Trial Name | Trial of Carnage |
| Enemy Types | Ancient Zombies, Ancient Vampires |
| Enemies per Wave | 5 Ancient Zombies + 5 Ancient Vampires |
| Waves | 2–4 |
| Time Limit | 1 minute |
| Completion Requirement | Defeat all spawned enemies |
According to the community Wiki, the Trial can feature 2–4 waves, meaning you may need to defeat up to 40 enemies.
Best Fighting Style and Fruit for Trial of Carnage
You don't need complicated PvP combos for this Trial. The main goal is to clear groups of enemies as quickly as possible.
| Recommended Build | Advantage |
|---|---|
| Buddha | Large-range M1 attacks for quickly clearing enemies |
| Magma | High damage and area attacks |
| Blizzard | Wide skill coverage |
| Sanguine Art | Melee damage and life recovery |
| Godhuman | High damage and area attacks |
Tips for Completing the Trial:
- Try to group enemies together.
- Use area attacks to hit multiple targets at once.
- Avoid running around aimlessly, as this wastes valuable time.
- Watch out for enemy Flash Step to avoid being caught off guard.
- Prioritize skills that can quickly clear groups of enemies.
Keep in mind that these enemies have Aura, so you cannot rely entirely on Elemental Immunity to avoid damage.
Stage 6: Win the Final PvP Battle
Passing your individual Race Trial does not mean you have unlocked V4 yet.
You must wait for the other participants to complete their respective Trials as well. Once everyone has finished, the final PvP battle will begin.
Final Battle Rules:
- All players who pass their individual Trials enter the final battle.
- Players must fight each other.
- The last surviving player wins the awakening opportunity for that round.
- The winner will see a glowing Orb.
If you don't win the final battle, you won't receive the Gear from that round. You will need to participate in another Race Trial.
Follow the Orb to the Ancient Clock
After becoming the final winner:
- Follow the glowing Orb.
- Head to the Ancient Clock in the Temple of Time.
- Interact with the Orb.
- Interact with the Ancient Clock again.
- Complete the first V4 awakening by placing your Gear into the clock.
At this point, you have officially unlocked Ghoul V4.
Stage 7: Upgrade Ghoul V4 and Unlock More Gears
After unlocking V4 for the first time, you will only have the basic awakening ability. If you want to further upgrade Domain Expansion or Blood Siphon, you need to find Ancient One and complete additional training.
Ancient One is located inside the Temple of Time, near the Ancient Clock.
After completing each training stage, you need to pay Fragments and participate in another Race Trial to obtain the next Gear.
V4 Gear Training Requirements
The community records list the following training stages and costs:
| Stage | Training Requirements | Fragments |
|---|---|---|
| Trial 1 | Stay in V4 for 3 minutes | 1,000 |
| Trial 2 | Stay in V4 for 5 minutes | 1,500 |
| Trial 3 | Complete 3 training levels: 3, 4, and 5 V4 activations | 2,000 + 2,250 + 2,500 |
| Trial 4 | Complete 5 training levels: 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 V4 activations | 3,000 + 3,250 + 3,500 + 3,750 + 4,000 |
| Total | Complete all subsequent training | 26,750 |
How to Complete Each Training Stage
- Find Ancient One and accept the current training task.
- Enter combat and fill your Race Awakening Meter.
- Activate V4.
- For the first two training stages, keep V4 active for the required duration. For later stages, complete the required number of V4 activations at each training level.
- Let each activation end naturally without manually interrupting it.
- Return to Ancient One to check your progress.
- Once you meet the requirements, pay the corresponding Fragments.
- Participate in another Race Trial to unlock the next Gear.
You can complete the training in different seas. You don't need to stay inside the Temple of Time throughout the process.
Important: Let your awakening end naturally during training. Manually canceling or interrupting it may prevent the training attempt from counting.
How Many Fragments Do You Need?

After completing all training stages, you can gradually unlock the full Ghoul V4 Gear abilities and adjust your setup at the Ancient Clock.
Ghoul V4 Unlock Checklist
What Does Each Ghoul Race Version Do?
| Ghoul Version | Ability | Main Effects |
|---|---|---|
| V1 | Night Speed | +30% movement speed at night and increased health regeneration |
| V2 | Life Leech | Fighting Style attacks restore 25% health against players and 5% against NPCs |
| V3 | Heightened Senses | Lasts 8 seconds: +5% damage, +20% movement speed, +15% defense, and early skill cooldown recovery |
| V4 | Ancient Powers | +10% damage, movement speed, and health regeneration during awakening, plus a reset for certain skill cooldowns |
| V4 Gear 1 | Blood Siphon | Improves life leech and sustained combat |
| V4 Gear 2 | Domain Expansion | Slows enemies, reduces their health regeneration, and provides cooldown support |
Best Fruits for Ghoul Race
Ghoul's abilities are better suited to sustained combat and close-range pressure. When choosing a fruit, prioritize skill combos, attack range, and survivability.
| Fruit | Best Use | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Gas (with Hellfire Mutation) | PvP | Sustained damage, mobility, and transformation abilities |
| Dough | PvP Combos | Crowd control and consecutive skill attacks |
| Buddha | Grinding | Large-range melee attacks and sustained combat |
| Shadow | Aggressive PvP | Close-range attacks and an aggressive playstyle |
Among these options, Gas with the Hellfire Mutation is particularly worth exploring, especially for players who want to use Ghoul V4 for sustained PvP pressure.
Ghoul V4's Domain Expansion can restrict nearby enemies' movement and reduce their health regeneration. Meanwhile, Hellfire's transformation provides additional defensive and mobility advantages.
Is Ghoul Race Worth Getting?
Getting Ghoul Race can take quite a while, but it is well worth the effort.
If you play Blox Fruits regularly, you've probably already seen how powerful Ghoul can be. It is one of the most versatile races in the game. For grinding, it offers life leech and shorter skill cooldowns. For PvP, it provides blinding effects and extremely short skill cooldowns.
If you also equip the Ghoul Mask, your build becomes even stronger. The mask provides 10% life leech on melee attacks (2.5% against NPCs), +35% movement speed, and +500 Energy.
If you enjoy close-range combat, sustained damage, and PvP, Ghoul is definitely worth unlocking.
However, it isn't the only optimal choice for every fruit or fighting style. Your final performance still depends on your equipment and playstyle.
