In Blox Fruits, the Ghoul v4 race is the fully evolved form of the Ghoul race, unlocked through a specific questline in the Third Sea. It grants powerful combat abilities, including a lifesteal-focused moveset and a transformation that boosts damage and healing. This guide explains what Ghoul v4 does, how to get it, and how it compares to other races.
What Is the Ghoul Race in Blox Fruits?
Ghoul is one of the playable races in Roblox’s Blox Fruits, obtainable through the Race Awakening system. Unlike the starting races (Human, Shark, Rabbit, Angel, and Cyborg), Ghoul is a special race that players can unlock after reaching the Second Sea. It is themed around darkness, blood, and undead powers, with a natural emphasis on melee combat and survivability.
The base Ghoul race provides a passive ability called Life Leech, which heals the player for a percentage of damage dealt to enemies. This makes it a popular choice for players who rely on close-range fighting, as the healing helps sustain long battles. The race also grants a small buff to movement speed and health regeneration, though these are minor compared to the lifesteal effect.
How to Unlock Ghoul v4
To unlock Ghoul v4, you must first have the Ghoul race at v3. If you do not have Ghoul yet, you can obtain it by defeating the Bone Warrior boss in the Second Sea, which has a chance to drop the Ghoul race item. Once you have Ghoul v1, you need to upgrade it through the Race Awakening system:
- V1 to V2: Defeat the Awakened Ice Admiral boss in the Second Sea (requires level 1000+).
- V2 to V3: Defeat the Awakened Fire Admiral boss in the Second Sea (requires level 1100+).
- V3 to V4: Complete the Ghoul v4 Quest in the Third Sea, which involves collecting 10 Ghoul Fragments from the Cursed Ship raid and defeating the Soul Reaper boss.
The Ghoul v4 quest is available from the Mysterious Scientist NPC, located at the Castle on the Sea in the Third Sea. You must be level 1500 or higher to start the quest. The quest is lengthy and requires a strong build, as the Soul Reaper boss has high health and deals heavy damage.
Ghoul v4 Abilities and Moveset
Once you unlock Ghoul v4, you gain a new moveset that replaces your basic attacks and adds a transformation ability. The v4 moveset is as follows:
- Z (Passive): Life Leech – your attacks heal you for 10% of damage dealt, increased to 15% when below 50% health.
- X (Active): Blood Barrage – fire a volley of blood projectiles that damage and heal you for a portion of the damage.
- C (Active): Undead Frenzy – enter a frenzy state for 10 seconds, increasing your attack speed and movement speed by 20%, and making your attacks heal for an additional 10%.
- V (Transformation): Vampiric Form – transform into a powerful vampire-like creature for 30 seconds, gaining a 30% damage boost and a 50% lifesteal on all attacks. This transformation has a 3-minute cooldown.
The transformation is the core of Ghoul v4, as it dramatically increases both damage and survivability. However, the cooldown means you must use it strategically, especially in boss fights or PvP.
How to Choose: Ghoul v4 vs Other Races
Choosing between Ghoul v4 and other races depends on your playstyle. Here is a comparison with the most popular races:
- vs Shark v4: Shark v4 is better for defense, with a water shield that absorbs damage and a passive that reduces damage taken. Ghoul v4 offers more sustain through lifesteal but requires you to be aggressive.
- vs Rabbit v4: Rabbit v4 is the fastest race, with a dash that ignores damage and a speed boost. Ghoul v4 is slower but more durable in prolonged fights.
- vs Human v4: Human v4 is versatile, with a buff that increases all stats and a counter that reflects damage. Ghoul v4 is more specialized for melee and healing.
- vs Angel v4: Angel v4 provides a healing aura and a revive ability, but it has a long cooldown. Ghoul v4’s lifesteal is more consistent, though it lacks a revive.
For PvE (farming and boss hunting), Ghoul v4 is excellent because the lifesteal keeps you alive without needing to use food. For PvP, it is strong but requires good timing to use the transformation effectively. If you prefer a defensive or speed-based playstyle, other races may suit you better.
Common Problems and Misconceptions
One common misconception is that Ghoul v4 is only useful for melee builds. While it synergizes best with swords and fighting styles, the lifesteal also applies to damage from Blox Fruits and guns, so it can work with any damage-dealing build. However, the transformation’s melee attacks are powerful, so it is often used in hybrid builds.
Another issue is that the v4 quest is difficult for players who are not well-geared. Many players attempt it at level 1500 and struggle with the Soul Reaper boss. It is recommended to have a high-level weapon or fruit, good accessories, and a full set of enhancement stats before attempting the quest. Some players also mistakenly believe that the v4 transformation can be used in the same way as other races’ transformations, but Ghoul v4’s transformation has a longer cooldown and shorter duration, so it requires more careful planning.
Costs and Requirements
Unlocking Ghoul v4 does not require Robux, but it does require significant in-game time and effort. The costs are:
- Level 1500 or higher.
- Ghoul race at v3 (which requires defeating two bosses and collecting fragments).
- 10 Ghoul Fragments, which drop from the Cursed Ship raid (the raid itself requires a party of at least 2 players and a raid token).
- Defeating the Soul Reaper boss, which has a recommended level of 1500+.
There are no monetary costs beyond the game itself, but the time investment is substantial. Some players choose to buy a gamepass like 2x Mastery or Fruit Notifier to speed up the process, but these are optional.
Safety and Fair Play
There is no real-world safety concern with unlocking Ghoul v4, but there are in-game risks. The Cursed Ship raid and the Soul Reaper boss can be challenging, and you may die multiple times. It is important to bring healing items and have a good build. Additionally, be aware of other players in the Third Sea who may try to steal your kills or grief you during the quest. Always play on a server with friends or a trusted group to avoid frustration.
Do not use exploits or third-party scripts to unlock Ghoul v4, as this can result in a ban from the game. The developers regularly update the game to patch exploits, so it is not worth the risk.
Alternatives to Ghoul v4
If you are not interested in Ghoul v4, there are other races that offer similar benefits:
- Cyborg v4: Provides a shield and energy-based attacks, good for players who use Blox Fruits.
- Shark v4: Best for tanking and underwater combat.
- Angel v4: Offers healing and a revive, useful for support players.
- Human v4: A balanced race that increases all stats, good for beginners.
Each race has its own unique v4 quest and abilities, so you can choose based on your preferred playstyle. Ghoul v4 is not the only viable option, but it is one of the strongest for sustained combat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get Ghoul v4 without being level 1500?
No, the quest requires you to be level 1500 or higher. The Soul Reaper boss is level 1500, and the Mysterious Scientist NPC will not give you the quest if you are below that level. It is recommended to level up to 1500 before attempting the quest.
Is Ghoul v4 good for grinding?
Yes, Ghoul v4 is excellent for grinding because the lifesteal allows you to fight for long periods without using food. The transformation also boosts damage, making it faster to defeat enemies. However, the cooldown on the transformation means you cannot use it constantly, so you will rely on the passive lifesteal most of the time.
How long does it take to unlock Ghoul v4?
The time varies depending on your level and experience. If you already have Ghoul v3, the v4 quest itself can take a few hours, mainly due to the Cursed Ship raid and the Soul Reaper boss. If you are starting from scratch, you need to first obtain Ghoul and upgrade it to v3, which can take several days of play.
Does Ghoul v4 work with all fighting styles?
Yes, Ghoul v4 works with any fighting style, sword, or Blox Fruit. The lifesteal applies to all damage you deal, so you can use it with any build. However, the transformation’s melee attacks are strongest with fighting styles like Electric Claw or Dragon Talon, so those are popular choices.
Can I reset my race after unlocking Ghoul v4?
Yes, you can change your race at any time using the Race Resetter item, which is available from the shop for 2,500 fragments. However, you will lose all your Ghoul v4 progress and have to start over if you want to unlock it again. It is not recommended to reset unless you are sure you want a different race.
