How to Get Ghostspeak Amulet Back in OSRS

In Old School RuneScape (OSRS), the Ghostspeak Amulet is a key item that lets players communicate with ghosts, making it essential for several quests and activities. Whether you’ve lost it, dropped it, or just want an extra one, this guide will walk you through how to recover or obtain additional Ghostspeak Amulets. With no skill or quest requirements beyond starting The Restless Ghost, it’s an accessible item for all players. Let’s dive into the steps, tips, and uses to ensure you’re never without this spooky accessory.

The Ghostspeak Amulet, also known as the Amulet of Ghostspeak, is a neck-slot item introduced on January 4, 2001, during The Restless Ghost quest. When worn, it allows players to understand and speak with ghosts; otherwise, you’ll only hear “woooo wooo wooooo woooo.” It’s a non-tradeable item with a value of 35 coins, weighing just 0.01 kg, and provides no combat bonuses. Its primary role is quest-related, but it’s also useful for specific interactions in Port Phasmatys and miniquests like Ghostly Robes.

Why You Might Need It

The Ghostspeak Amulet is required for more than just The Restless Ghost. Here’s why it’s worth keeping:

Quest Requirements: Essential for quests like Animal Magnetism, Ghosts Ahoy, Nature Spirit, Making History, Creature of Fenkenstrain, A Fairy Tale Part I, Cabin Fever, and Dragon Slayer II.
Port Phasmatys Interactions: Needed to talk to ghost NPCs for shopping or to speak with Metarialus, the ghostly brewer, for ale yeast in Port Phasmatys (unless you’ve completed Ghosts Ahoy).
Miniquests: Required for the Ghostly Robes miniquest and to speak with ghosts in Melzar’s Maze about Elvarg’s destruction.
Achievements: Obtaining a new amulet from Father Urhney completes the easy Lumbridge achievement “I Can’t Hear Dead People.”

How to Recover a Lost Ghostspeak Amulet

If you’ve lost your Ghostspeak Amulet—whether through death, dropping it, or accidentally destroying it—don’t worry. You can easily reclaim it from Father Urhney in Lumbridge Swamp. Here’s the step-by-step process:

Step-by-Step Guide to Reclaim the Amulet

Travel to Lumbridge Swamp: Head south from Lumbridge Castle until you reach the swamp. Father Urhney’s shack is located in the western part of the swamp, near the coast. You can use a Lumbridge teleport or walk from the castle for quick access.
Speak to Father Urhney: Enter the shack and talk to Father Urhney, a grumpy Saradominist priest. If you’ve started or completed The Restless Ghost, he’ll give you a replacement amulet for free, provided you don’t already have one in your inventory or bank.
Check for Existing Amulets: Father Urhney can detect Ghostspeak Amulets (including enchanted versions or cramulets) in your bank or inventory. If he refuses to give you one, saying, “You come here wasting my time… has it even occurred to you that you’ve got it stored somewhere?” check your bank or Death’s Coffer (if you died and didn’t retrieve it).
Equip or Store: Once obtained, equip the amulet to speak with ghosts or store it safely. It’s recommended to keep it in your bank for future quests to avoid repeating this process.

What If You Died?

If you lost the amulet due to death, it may be in Death’s Coffer at the Lumbridge graveyard or at your gravestone (if you haven’t reclaimed it yet). Visit Death’s Office or the gravestone location to check. If it’s gone, simply follow the steps above to get a new one from Father Urhney.

How to Get Extra Ghostspeak Amulets (Drop Trick)

Under normal circumstances, Father Urhney gives only one Ghostspeak Amulet, as he checks your inventory and bank. However, you can use the drop trick to obtain multiple amulets, which is handy for keeping spares or avoiding trips back to the swamp.

Using the Drop Trick

The drop trick exploits the game’s mechanics to bypass Father Urhney’s restrictions. Follow these steps:

Ensure No Amulets in Bank: Remove any Ghostspeak Amulets or cramulets from your bank, as Father Urhney will detect them and refuse to give you another.
Obtain an Amulet: Speak to Father Urhney to get a Ghostspeak Amulet.
Drop the Amulet: Drop the amulet on the ground. This makes Father Urhney think you don’t have one in your possession.
Talk to Father Urhney Again: Request another amulet. He’ll give you a new one since the dropped amulet is no longer in your inventory or bank.
Pick Up the Dropped Amulet: Retrieve the amulet you dropped to now have two. Repeat as needed for more.

Note: Be cautious not to lose dropped amulets, as they despawn after a short time if not picked up. Store extras in your bank for safekeeping.

Why Get Multiple Amulets?

Having spares can save time, especially if you die frequently or want to avoid reclaiming from Father Urhney. Some players keep extras for convenience during quests like Animal Magnetism or Ghosts Ahoy, where the amulet is heavily used.

Enchanted Ghostspeak Amulet and Ghosts Ahoy

During the Ghosts Ahoy quest, the Ghostspeak Amulet gets a special upgrade. The Old Crone (or Netty) enchants it, giving it a green glow and enabling you to control Necrovarus. This enchanted version is used only in the quest but remains cosmetically distinct afterward.

How to Get the Enchanted Version

If you’ve lost the enchanted amulet or want another, follow these steps:

Complete Required Quest Steps: Progress in Ghosts Ahoy until you need to enchant the amulet. You’ll need to bring the Old Crone mystical robes, a book of haricanto, and a translation manual.
Visit the Old Crone: She’s located east of the Slayer Tower. With a regular Ghostspeak Amulet in your inventory, she’ll enchant it for you.
Drop Trick for Extras: Similar to the regular amulet, you can drop the enchanted amulet and ask the Old Crone to enchant another. This lets you keep multiple enchanted versions, which is useful for keepsaking or cosmetic purposes.

Tip: If you keepsake the enchanted amulet before finishing Ghosts Ahoy, you can get another by taking a regular amulet to the Old Crone without using your keepsaked version.

Post-Quest Notes

After completing Ghosts Ahoy, duplicates of the enchanted amulet won’t be destroyed, and you can keep them. However, the enchanted version has no unique gameplay function outside the quest—it’s purely cosmetic.

Alternatives and When You Don’t Need the Amulet

In some cases, you may not need the Ghostspeak Amulet at all, depending on your progress in the game. Here’s when you can skip it:

Morytania Hard Achievements

Completing the hard Morytania achievements grants the ability to understand all ghosts (except the monkey ghost in Do No Evil) without the amulet. This makes the Ghostspeak Amulet obsolete for most ghost interactions, including in Port Phasmatys.

Specific Ghosts

Certain ghosts, like those at the Grave of Scorpius or Zabeth Corvid, can be understood without the amulet. Always check quest or NPC requirements to confirm if the amulet is necessary.

Cramulet Combination

During or after Do No Evil, you can combine the Ghostspeak Amulet with other amulets (monkeyspeak, catspeak, and camulet) to create a cramulet. This hybrid amulet retains the ghostspeak function while adding others, saving inventory space. Note that Father Urhney detects cramulets in your bank, so remove them before requesting a new Ghostspeak Amulet.
