With all that is available in the game, it can be difficult to keep track of the numerous items and their uses. To help players, this guide offers tips on unlocking and collecting the useful late-game resource, Bottled Ectoplasm.
How to get empty bottles
As the name suggests, Ectoplasm in a Bottle cannot be collected unless players have an empty bottle. While they may not seem particularly useful, these components can be purchased cheaply 20 glimmers by Franz. They are also commonly found in crates near shipwrecks.
Aside from their use as a source of glass in the Ship Foundries, Empty Flasks can contain multiple items – namely Glim, Ectoplasm, and Lightning itself. As such, they are useful to have on hand.
The conditions
Like Spiritfarer’s many other spirit-specific crafting materials, Bottled Ectoplasm can be earned when players plant it Mysterious Seed and are introduced to Stanley the mushroom spirit. He’s a bizarre character and the quests he has for Stella are even weirder. Regardless, players will need to keep him happy – specifically, completing the Big Boy’s Room quest – to get closer to the bottled ectoplasm they desire. The table below shows what players need to complete this quest.
| item required | How to get |

When Stanley has obtained the desired items, the guest house will transform and become a unique place to stay for him.
Starting the Ectoplasm event
The hard part is out of the way. To start the Ectoplasm Hunt event, players must enter Stanley’s room (formerly the guest house) and interact with the glowing bug in the terrarium. Next, select “Yes” when prompted to start the event. The sky will darken and dozens of strange glowing creatures will start crawling all over the deck. They’re difficult to catch due to their speed, but players with a well-designed boat won’t have too much trouble filling their bottles to the brim.
When the event is over, players must wait at least one day for the beetle to return, then they can start the event over.
