How to Play the Ghost Mode in The Forest: A Guide to the Ghost Mode in The Forest

Tower defense games have always been very popular. And this game is one of the most mentioned tower defense games at present. The game itself does not require high configuration from players, and it's relatively easy to get started; basically, most players can adapt. How to play the Haunted Forest mode? This Haunted Forest is a brand new mode just released in the game. Many players may feel a bit uncomfortable after entering the game. Also, due to a lack of thorough understanding of the game, the probability of failing the game becomes quite high. Therefore, I will introduce some strategies and tips for this mode.

This mode adopts a 6V1 confrontation format. Players take on the role of survivors, with only one Dream Hunter in this map. After the match is set, you enter the game, where there is a 30-second preparation time before the game starts. Players need to use this time to find their safe house. All other players in the game are AI. They will randomly search for rooms. We need to find a suitable safe house as soon as possible. There are two options for safe houses: the first is to choose a relatively secure safe house. In this map, there are adjacent or facing safe houses at the top.

These safe houses themselves are not very large, but if other players enter, they can form an alliance, making it easier for both players to support each other. Another option is not to cooperate with others, and instead, choose a sufficiently large safe house by yourself. Since teammates are all AI, their behavior is mostly unreliable, so it's better to develop independently rather than trying to coordinate with them. The specific choice depends on the player.

After deciding, players can lie on the bed and wait for the countdown. In this mode, each safe house has a trash bin that spits out garbage after a period of time. All items and upgrades in this game are related to this trash bin. The main way to earn coins is also through opening this trash bin, and the cost of opening it increases over time, which players need to remember. We need to reasonably categorize the items that come out based on the situation.

Initially, the items that come out of the trash bin are either doors or basic turrets. This gameplay incorporates some roguelike and chess elements. The first wave of doors can be directly combined. Turrets, as usual, cannot be placed on either side of the door. In the early stages, since the Dream Hunter's level is not very high, players don't need to build extra doors indoors. First, try to upgrade the doors to Iron Door 5. Maintain 4 turrets in the early stage, as having too many is not very useful.

In the beginning, it's difficult for the Dream Hunter to attack us first, giving us ample time to develop. A generator will appear during the 2nd-3rd use of the trash bin. Initially, focus on upgrading the generator without dispersing, as a Level 1 generator produces very little power, which is not very beneficial for our development. So, prioritize upgrading the generator, and only place new generators after reaching Level 3. Ensure 4 generators at Level 3 or above in the early to mid-game.

Try to upgrade turrets to at least Level 4 in the early stage, as Levels 1-2 turrets deal very little damage. Even against a Level 2 Dream Hunter, they won't cause much harm, which would instead speed up the Dream Hunter's level-up. This is very disadvantageous for us.

The Dream Hunter will generally leave after attacking for a while, but a Level 3 or higher Dream Hunter will have a longer attack duration. Without repair equipment, we will be in great danger when attacked by the Dream Hunter. Therefore, it's essential to quickly upgrade the doors and turrets in the early stage.

The above are the answers to how to play the Haunted Forest mode. This new mode is overall very interesting. The gameplay is quite different from traditional tower defense games, and because we obtain a lot of props, our early to mid-game tactics can be adjusted according to the props we get.
