Community Phantom Train walkthrough
- Enter a normal run. Look for the early safe-zone stain, described within roughly 0–20 km. Reports conflict on exact trigger timing, so a first-night spawn was not guaranteed.
- Take the Phantom Key. Interact with the stain, collect the key and use the rift near the train to reach the Phantom Train.
- Clear the town and bank. Defeat the Banker for the bank combination, then open the vault for the next key.
- Unlock the prison route. At the next prison, remove the stone key and prepare for the boss fight. Phantom Train Goliath is documented at 1,500 HP and 25 damage, not the normal 3,000-HP cannon variant.
- Return to the train. Move through the distorted car to the Phantom Conductor and finish the quest interaction. Check the badge and hub reward tracker afterward.
