But, before facing the Sea of Stars’ big baddie, a couple of puzzles must be solved, and ghosts must be rescued from everything from angry flying books to menacing dancing couples.

How to make the Master Ghost Sandwich Recipe in Sea of Stars

Garl is our Warrior Cook, but I’m sure he didn’t expect to be prepping meals for ghosts either. To solve the Master Sandwich puzzle in the Haunted Mansion, walk into the room northwest to access the kitchen and follow this recipe:

• 2 hepar
• 4 dust
• 3 sugar
• 1 rust
• 2 slices of dread

All the ingredients are scattered around the kitchen counters. Grab everything you need and take it back to Garl. Then, give this sandwich to the ghost in the dining room to get 100x Gold and access to the next room.

Sea of Stars: Solve the King and Knight Helm Puzzle & Painting Puzzle

To solve the Haunted Mansion’s Library puzzles, follow these steps:

	There’s a statue north, the Knight, and a statue to the east, the King.
	Take the Knight’s helm from the king, and place it on the Knight.
	Pick up the King’s crown on the upper floor and place it on the King.
	This activates a bigger puzzle that must be solved upstairs. Follow the pattern on the painting in the center and replicate it in the frames to the right and left.
	The correct order for the left frames should be: bird, antler, skeleton, demon.
	The correct order for the right frames should be: demon, skull, antler, and bird.
	This unlocks the combo skill X-Strike down by the fireplace. Plus, it clears the door to the right.

How to Find and Defeat the Botanical Horror in Sea of Stars

To find the Botanical Horror, enter the garden of the Haunted Mansion. If you’re looking for one extra Rainbow conch, hit the switch on the pot near the wall to the left to unveil a secret room.

Ready for a showdown against a deadly plant? Head north through the maze. There are a couple of enemies to clear out, and thorny paths are impossible to clear.

To defeat the Botanical Horror, use as many multi-target attacks as possible to bring down its flowers. Once its flowers are down, maximize these 4 turns to target the Botanical Horror’s head and deal as much damage as possible. When all 4 turns have passed, the flowers will be revived. Repeat this mechanic until the Botanical Horror is down.

This boss has only got one regular attack: all flowers go underground and attack one random ally. Still, since there are four flowers, it’s likely all party members will take damage unless they are brought down.

After defeating the Botanical Horror, rest at a nearby camp and head to the main room for an epic boss fight against the Dweller of Woe.
