Found a Ghost Relic and now you’re just standing there, confused and glowing? You’re not alone. The game gives you zero explanation and just expects you to know what to do with mystical floating bones. Here’s how to actually use that Ghost Relic and awaken phantoms like Adelhaide the Philanthropic.

What Are Phantoms?
First off it’s worth noting that phantoms are not summons.
They’re passive bonuses—like equipping a ghostly life coach that makes your stats better behind the scenes. Once awakened, you pick one to “equip” and get buffs from them as you play.
How to Awaken a Phantom
Got a Ghost Relic? Cool. Now follow these steps:
Go to the Blade Nexus (any bonfire-looking sword spot).
Open the Phantom menu.
Hover over Adelhaide the Philanthropic or whichever phantom the relic mentions.
Press the prompted button to awaken her. (On Xbox, it's Y.)
Boom. She’s unlocked.
You can now equip her to get her passive effects. If she sounds boring, don’t worry—there are several others, and you can swap freely between them.
Where Do You Find Ghost Relics?
They’re usually hidden in the environment or dropped from big fights. One known spot:
In the first area of the second map, look for a relic hanging from a rope behind a building. You have to shoot it down to get it.
Yes, that’s the level of subtlety we’re dealing with here.
Can You Upgrade Phantoms?
Yes, and you should.
You’ll need more Ghost Relics to level them up and unlock stronger abilities. So don’t go selling those. And yes, some phantoms even buff your Spirit companions, so synergy matters later on.
Final Blurb
Awakening phantoms in Khazan is basically ghost Pokémon, but with less guidance and more suffering. Just remember: Ghost Relic = new passive perks. Don’t overthink it, don’t throw it away, and maybe give Adelhaide a shot. She’s philanthropic, after all.
