MegaBonk Ghosts Guide
Ghosts are one of the most confusing parts of MegaBonk when you first encounter them. If you’ve been wondering what the ghosts mean and why they appear, here’s the full breakdown.
What Ghosts Do in MegaBonk
Ghosts spawn after you defeat the Tier 1 boss. Instead of advancing to a new stage, your run always ends with an endless swarm of white and black ghosts. They grow stronger until they inevitably wipe you out, no matter how powerful your build is.
This isn’t a bug or a secret fight. The ghosts are simply the end condition for Tier 1. Surviving them longer is only for score or fun. You cannot unlock more stages by beating them.
How Ghosts Connect to Tier Progression
Killing the Tier 1 boss unlocks Tier 2 for your next run, not during the same session. Tier 2 introduces two stages, each with its own boss. Beating the second boss of Tier 2 unlocks Tier 3, which has three stages.
Ghosts only appear at the end of Tier 1 as a forced wipe mechanic. Once you move into Tier 2 and Tier 3, portals after bosses allow you to advance normally without ghosts ending the run.
Since ghosts are not meant to be beaten, the best approach is to treat them as the finish line. Focus on getting the Tier 1 boss down quickly to unlock Tier 2 instead of stressing about the ghost wave.
If you want to test builds, ghost waves are a good way to push survival time and see how your setup holds against endless scaling. Just don’t mistake them for actual progression content.
Final Blurb
Ghosts in MegaBonk are not a true enemy or stage challenge but an ending mechanic for Tier 1. Their role is to close out your run and push you toward higher tiers. Once you understand this, the frustration turns into clarity, and you can focus your runs on reaching Tier 2 and beyond.
FAQ
Can you kill all the ghosts in MegaBonk?
No. Ghosts scale endlessly and will eventually kill you no matter your build.
Do ghosts appear in Tier 2 or Tier 3?
No. Ghosts only spawn to end Tier 1. In higher tiers you advance through portals instead.
How do you unlock Tier 2 if ghosts always kill you?
Killing the Tier 1 boss automatically unlocks Tier 2 for your next run. The ghost wipe does not block your progression.
