Ghostlord is a tricky fellow to find for the Pensive Phantom side quest in Zenless Zone Zero, especially since you don’t know what ‘Ghostlord’ refers to in it. However, having completed the quest with a little difficulty, I’ve got the intel you need to finish yourself.
How to find Ghostlord to complete Pensive Phantom in Zenless Zone Zero
While pursuing Ghostlord, you’re never told exactly what you’re looking for, and for the part of the questline that requires you to take a picture of it, there’s no indication of location other than that it’s located in Ballet Twins. It turns out that Ghostlord isn’t some mythic ghost or boogieman haunting the city streets. Instead, it’s a Bangboo with that literal name, which isn’t all that surprising when there are others out there with even stranger ones.

The quest informs you that Ghostlord can be found atop the statue standing over Ballet Twins at night, but, for some reason, Ghostlord is nowhere to be found. For me, I didn’t see Ghostlord until after I took the picture of it, which makes no sense. Whether it’s a bug or something more sinister, I have no idea, but there is a workaround if you can’t find Ghostlord yourself.

If you stand at the base of the statue and aim your angle camera at a certain point, the game will register as you taking a picture of Ghostlord, even when he isn’t in the image. The exact point to aim at should be right around the knee part of the statue. You’ll know you’re looking at the right place if the game tells you Target Spotted. Once you see this, snap the shot, and Ghostlord, the mysterious Bangboo, will appear before you.
