How to Get into Port Phasmatys in Old School RuneScape

Port Phasmatys, a ghostly coastal town in the eerie region of Morytania in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), is a key destination for players looking to engage in quests, train skills, or access unique features like the Ectofuntus. Known for its spectral inhabitants and the pivotal Ghosts Ahoy quest, reaching this town requires specific steps and preparation. This comprehensive guide outlines the various methods to access Port Phasmatys, whether you’re a new adventurer or a seasoned player, ensuring you can navigate Morytania’s haunted landscapes with ease.

Located in the northeastern corner of Gielinor, Port Phasmatys is a hub for ghostly activities, including the Ectofuntus for Prayer training and a furnace close to a bank for Smithing. Before diving into travel methods, it’s crucial to understand the prerequisites for entering this spectral town.

Prerequisite Quest: Priest in Peril

To access Morytania, where Port Phasmatys resides, you must complete the Priest in Peril quest. This quest unlocks the ability to cross the River Salve into Morytania and is essential for all methods of reaching Port Phasmatys.

Requirements: No skill requirements, but you’ll need to defeat a level 30 enemy.
Why It’s Needed: Completing this quest grants access to Canifis and the broader Morytania region.

Entry Requirements for Port Phasmatys

Unless you’ve completed the Ghosts Ahoy quest, entering Port Phasmatys requires two ecto-tokens and a ghostspeak amulet. After completing Ghosts Ahoy, entry is free, and the ghostspeak amulet is only needed to interact with ghostly NPCs.

Methods to Reach Port Phasmatys

There are several ways to travel to Port Phasmatys, each suited to different levels of quest completion, resources, and preferences. Below are the most efficient methods.

Method 1: Using the Ectophial (Fastest)

The Ectophial, a reward from the Ghosts Ahoy quest, is the quickest and most convenient way to reach Port Phasmatys. It teleports you directly to the Ectofuntus, just north of the town’s gates.

Requirements: Completion of Ghosts Ahoy (requires 25 Agility, 20 Cooking, and ability to defeat a level 42 enemy).
How to Use: Equip the Ectophial, use it to teleport, and walk south to enter the town.
Benefits: Unlimited teleports, one-click activation, and ideal for repeated visits.
Tip: If you lose your Ectophial, speak to Velorina in Port Phasmatys for a free replacement.

Method 2: Fairy Ring Teleport (Code ALQ)

For players with access to fairy rings, the ALQ code teleports you to the Haunted Woods, just west of Port Phasmatys. This is a fast option for those who haven’t completed Ghosts Ahoy.

Requirements: Partial completion of Fairytale II – Cure a Queen to use fairy rings, and Priest in Peril.
How to Use: Teleport to the fairy ring (code ALQ), then run east to reach the town’s western entrance.
Warnings: The Haunted Woods contains aggressive vampires and leeches. Bring food or protection if you’re low-level.
Benefits: No ecto-tokens required if arriving via this method and using a charter ship to enter.

Method 3: Charter Ship

Charter ships offer a reliable way to reach Port Phasmatys without starting Ghosts Ahoy, though they require gold and prior access to Morytania.

Starting Port	Cost (Gold)	Notes
Port Sarim	1,300	Accessible after Priest in Peril.
Catherby	1,600	Convenient with Camelot teleport.
Brimhaven	1,600	Use with Ardougne teleport for efficiency.

Requirements: Priest in Peril and sufficient gold.
How to Use: Speak to Trader Crewmembers at any charter port and select Port Phasmatys as your destination.
Benefits: Bypasses the ecto-token toll if you enter via the docks.
Tip: Use a Ring of Charos (a) to reduce charter costs.

Method 4: Walking from Canifis

For players without access to teleports or charter ships, walking from Canifis is a viable, albeit slower, option.

Requirements: Priest in Peril and two ecto-tokens (unless Ghosts Ahoy is completed).
How to Use: Teleport to Canifis (e.g., via Kharyrll teleport with 66 Magic or a POH portal), then walk east through the Haunted Woods to Port Phasmatys.
Challenges: The path involves navigating the swamp and avoiding aggressive NPCs like leeches.
Safe Route: From Canifis, head north past the Slayer Master, then east along the shoreline to enter via the northern gate.

Method 5: Alternative Teleports

Other teleportation methods can get you close to Port Phasmatys, requiring a short walk.

Fenkenstrain’s Castle Teleport: Requires 48 Magic and the Arceuus spellbook. Teleport, then run east.
Drakan’s Medallion: After Sins of the Father, teleport to Ver Sinhaza, run north to Slepe, and take Andras’ boat to Port Phasmatys (free).
Ring of Kinship: Teleport to Daemonheim, charter a ship from Catherby, or walk west to Morytania.

Obtaining Ecto-Tokens for Entry

If you haven’t completed Ghosts Ahoy, you’ll need two ecto-tokens to pass through the energy barrier at Port Phasmatys’ gates. Here’s how to gather them.

Steps to Collect Ecto-Tokens

Gather Supplies: Bring 7 bones (undead chickens near the Ectofuntus farm are a good source), 7 empty buckets, 7 empty pots, and a ghostspeak amulet.
Collect Slime: Enter the trapdoor west of the Ectofuntus, descend the stairs, and use buckets on the pool of slime.
Grind Bones: Use the bone grinder upstairs near the Ectofuntus. Use bones on the grinder, then collect bonemeal in pots.
Worship the Ectofuntus: Click the Ectofuntus with buckets of slime and pots of bonemeal to worship, earning Prayer experience.
Claim Tokens: Speak to a Ghost Disciple to receive ecto-tokens (5 per worship, up to 35 for 7 worships).

Note: Buckets and pots can be purchased from the general store in Port Phasmatys or Trader Stan’s Trading Post at the docks.

Tips for Efficient Travel and Exploration

Once you’re in Port Phasmatys, maximize your time with these tips:

Banking: Use the bank in southeast Port Phasmatys. The “quick-bank” option works without a ghostspeak amulet, but equipping one saves time when interacting with ghost bankers.
Skill Training: The furnace, one of the closest to a bank in OSRS, is ideal for Smithing. The Ectofuntus offers 4x Prayer experience per bone, perfect for expensive bones like dragon bones.
Quests: Start Ghosts Ahoy to unlock free entry and the Ectophial, and explore related quests like Rum Deal or Cabin Fever.
Teleport Back: Use an amulet of glory or ring of dueling to quickly bank and return via the Ectophial or fairy ring.

Why Visit Port Phasmatys?

Prayer Training: The Ectofuntus provides a cost-effective way to train Prayer.
