There are many players who will immediately be able to take to the game, while there are also people who are going to struggle for a little bit with getting used to the game Ghost Song. There are some beginner tips that some players may benefit from knowing before they take the dive into the game.

7 Look Around For Colored Leaves

Colored leaves are, essentially, the best way for a player to know where the godseeds are located. These godseeds are important as well - essentially, godseeds are a way for a player to increase one of their stats permanently, so it will be a good choice to pick up as many as they can.

Leaves that are colored in bright, interesting colors will alert the player to the nearby presence of godseeds. Every bit will be beneficial to them, so it is wise to keep an eye out for these bright leaves during gameplay.

6 Attack Modules Give Bonus Stats

There are going to be multiple ways for players to gather up attack modules as they play through the game. However, something that players may not know is what these modules do. The game is not very clear on what they do at first.

Essentially, these attack modules will give the player small bonuses to their stats upon being equipped. This can be health bonuses, damage bonuses, or more. In short, it would benefit players to equip as many attack modules as they are able to, and the limit will increase during gameplay.

5 Remember To Get Ranged Modules

Additionally, a player should be especially diligent in gathering up ranged attack modules. These modules are especially going to be useful, even more so than many other module types in the game.

Essentially, ranged modules are going to be a player's best way of increasing their damage on long-range attacks. This may seem obvious, however, it is often noted by players that going for a ranged play style is incredibly strong and useful, and as such, a player should really remember to get as many ranged modules as they can equip onto themselves.

4 A Player Cannot Fast Travel While Holding Ship Parts

The main objective of the game Ghost Song is to gather up all of the ship parts that a player can find in the world, before traveling back to deliver them to people. However, there is one thing that may stop the player - that being, a player cannot fast travel while holding ship parts.

This means they have to make the trek back to the delivery point entirely by foot. This can be dangerous due to the enemies that are wandering around the world, so a player should be especially careful.

3 Ship Parts Can Be Gathered In Any Order

Although there is a certain order that the game Ghost Song would like the player to gather the ship parts in, they can technically gather them in any order. There are two ship parts that they will have to get first, though.

However, it is also worth noting that these two parts do not limit fans from picking one up too early or too late. Afterward, a player can roam free in the world, as there is nothing that is off-limits.

2 The Cannon Can Get Overheated

The cannon is going to be one of the player's best weapons for long-range attacks. However, it is also worth noting that this cannon can very much overheat if a player is not careful with how much they use it.

The cannon overheating does come with an upside, though - that being, a player's melee attacks will do far more damage. This can help a player to decide what kind of module they want for their playstyle - do they want a module that will overheat the cannon slower for ranged attacks, or modules that overheat it faster for melee attacks?

1 Melee Attacks Are Decent Too

Although there are many players that talk about how great ranged attacks are, and how it is the only way to go, it is actually worth noting that a melee build is just as valuable as a ranged build. In fact, if a player attacks with an overheated cannon, they can possibly do more damage than just a simple ranged hit.

As such, it is worth it for a player to take a moment to check out a more melee build. If they are really not doing well with a ranged build, a melee build may be exactly what they need.

Ghost Song is available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox Series X.
