The Ghoul race in Blox Fruits is a playable character race that you can obtain by completing a specific questline, and it offers unique combat advantages focused on life drain and melee damage. It is not a starting race; you must earn it through a hidden NPC and a series of tasks. Below, we explain exactly how to get the Ghoul race, what its abilities do, and how it compares to other races.
What Is the Ghoul Race?
In Blox Fruits, races are character traits that provide passive bonuses and a special ability. The Ghoul race is one of the rarer races, introduced in the Halloween update. It is themed around undead powers, giving players a life-steal effect on melee attacks and a unique V3 ability that boosts damage and heals you when you hit enemies. Unlike the basic races (Human, Shark, Rabbit, etc.) that you might get from the race reroll, Ghoul is obtained through a dedicated questline.
How to Get the Ghoul Race
To unlock the Ghoul race, you must complete a quest given by an NPC named “Death” (or “The Skeleton” in some versions). Here is the step-by-step process:
- Reach Level 400 or higher (the quest is designed for mid-game players).
- Go to the Cursed Ship (the shipwreck near the Ice Castle) and find the NPC called “Death” at the top of the ship.
- Accept the quest, which requires you to collect 10 “Ghoul Fragments” from killing “Cursed Ship” enemies (the skeletons and ghosts on the ship).
- Return to Death and turn in the fragments. Death will then ask you to defeat the “Cursed Captain” (a boss that spawns on the ship).
- Defeat the Cursed Captain and return to Death. He will then give you the Ghoul race.
Note: The quest is repeatable, but you can only have one race at a time. If you switch races later, you can come back to Death to get Ghoul again (the quest will reset).
Ghoul Race Abilities and V3
Like all races, Ghoul has a V3 ability that unlocks after you complete a special quest (the “Race Awakening” quest). For Ghoul, the V3 ability is called “Life Leech” (or “Soul Leech”). When activated, your melee attacks drain HP from enemies, healing you for a percentage of the damage dealt. Additionally, you gain a temporary damage boost. The V3 ability has a cooldown of about 20 seconds and lasts for 10 seconds.
Passive bonuses: Ghoul race gives you a 10% increase in melee damage and a 10% reduction in damage taken from other players (in PvP). This makes it a strong choice for melee-focused builds.
How to Awaken the Ghoul Race (V3)
To unlock the V3 ability, you must complete a separate quest from the “Mysterious Scientist” (an NPC found on the Floating Turtle). The quest requires you to collect 10 “Mysterious Fragments” from any boss (or from Sea Beasts) and then defeat the “Greybeard” boss. After that, you return to the Scientist and he will awaken your race, giving you the V3 skill.
Ghoul Race vs. Other Races
Choosing a race depends on your playstyle. Here is a quick comparison:
- Ghoul: Best for melee fighters who want sustain (healing) and extra damage. Its life drain is excellent for solo PvE and PvP.
- Human: Balanced, with a V3 that gives a speed and damage boost. Good for all-rounders.
- Shark: Grants underwater breathing and a V3 that deals damage and stuns. Good for sea-based combat.
- Rabbit: Increases jump height and speed, with a V3 that gives a double jump and speed boost. Great for mobility.
- Angel: Provides flight and a V3 that heals allies. Support-oriented.
- Cyborg: Offers a V3 that damages and drains energy. More situational.
If you rely heavily on melee (Sword or Fighting Style), Ghoul is often considered top-tier. If you use ranged Fruit attacks, other races like Human or Rabbit might be more beneficial.
Common Problems and Misconceptions
One common misconception is that the Ghoul race is only available during Halloween. In reality, the quest is available year-round, but the Cursed Ship area is always accessible. Another issue is that players sometimes try to get the Ghoul race before Level 400, but the enemies on the ship are high-level, so you will struggle. Also, note that the Ghoul Fragments drop randomly—you may need to kill many skeletons before you get 10.
If you already have a race and want to switch to Ghoul, you can do so by talking to Death and completing the quest again. However, you will lose your previous race’s V3 ability (you can re-awaken it later if you switch back).
Costs and Requirements
Getting the Ghoul race is free in terms of in-game currency, but it requires time and combat readiness. You must be at least Level 400, and you need to defeat the Cursed Captain (a Level 450 boss). The quest does not cost any Robux or Beli. However, if you want to awaken the V3, you must defeat Greybeard (a Level 500 boss) and collect 10 Mysterious Fragments, which drop randomly from any boss. There is no monetary cost, but it is time-consuming.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get Ghoul race without paying?
Yes, the Ghoul race is completely free. You only need to complete the quest from Death, which requires no Robux or in-game currency. The only cost is your time and effort in fighting the required enemies.
Is Ghoul race better than Shark?
It depends on your build. Ghoul is better for melee users because of the life steal and melee damage boost. Shark is better for players who spend a lot of time in the water or want a defensive ability. For pure PvP melee, Ghoul is often preferred.
Can you switch back to Ghoul after changing races?
Yes, you can. Simply go back to Death on the Cursed Ship and complete the quest again. You will need to collect 10 Ghoul Fragments and defeat the Cursed Captain again. Your V3 ability will also need to be re-awakened if you want it back.
Does the Ghoul race work with all fighting styles?
Yes, the Ghoul race’s life drain applies to any melee attack, whether it’s from a Sword or a Fighting Style. It does not affect ranged attacks from Blox Fruits. So it works best if you use melee combat as your primary damage source.
What level should I be to get Ghoul?
You can start the quest at Level 400, but it is recommended to be at least Level 450 to comfortably defeat the Cursed Captain. If you are lower level, you might need help from friends or a strong Fruit.
