Ghost Ship (Location)

For other uses, see Ghost Ship.

Ghost Ship is a location in Chrono Cross. After slaying the Hydra at the Hydra Marshes of Home World, and after Kid is restored by the Hydra venom, Serge has the option to approach a cloaked ship west of the Sea of Eden. Fargo, captain of the S.S. Invincible, the cloaked ship, tests the strength of the party by forcing them to battle Men-Of-War, a giant parrot named Polly, and Fargo himself. Winning the consecutive battles, Serge and his team are imprisoned below the decks. A ship approaches the Invincible. Legions of undead soldiers board the vessel and engage its sailors in combat. Serge and his friends escape their prison, battle the undead creatures, destroy the DeadHead that commands the legion, and restore order to the ship. If Kid is not saved, the Ghost Ship event becomes available immediately after battling Harle at the Hermit's Hideaway.

Star levels

The Ghost Ship scenario can be experienced regardless of whether Kid was cured of of the Hydra poison. If Serge and his companions elected not to save Kid, star-levels would be granted for each of the initial battles fought on the S.S. Invincible, as well as the final fight with the DeadHead, for a total of 11 stars. If the Hydra Humour was obtained and Kid cured, only the DeadHead issues a star-level, for a total of 8 stars. However, later boss battles unavailable to the timeline where Kid is not saved make up for the difference in star-levels.
