Ghost

Ghosts are nasty Undead that hit extremely hard. Like most Undead, they paralyze their victims, but the real danger here is their high Attack score. A high Defense doesn't help either. Fortunately, the Sunken Shrine provides a number of items that can help against Ghosts, including the Light Axes and Mage's Staff. And as the only creature in the Sunken Shrine that is weak to Fire rather than resistant to it, your Black Wizard can freely toss off Fire3 Spells to take them down fast. And you'll want to take them out fast, since it is impossible to run from them.

Shadows would be one of the most annoying creatures in any dungeon except the Marsh Cave. They don't hit hard, and can't take many hits, but their attack inflicts Darkness on its victim. Combined with their moderate evasion, Shadow battles can drag on for some time. Combine this with their extreme surprise factor that nearly guarantees they will ambush you, and the only thing worse than groups of Shadows in the Marsh Cave would be larger groups on the World Map. Oh hey look, they have those! The areas around the Terra Cavern are infested with these guys, and you will quickly grow sick of them. Fortunately Dia1 does quite a number on them due to their low HP.

Wraiths continue the general theme of Undead with Paralyzing attacks, but they also come with annoyingly high Evasion scores. They're not hard to kill if you can hit them, but that is no trivial matter. They do decent damage with their attacks, but the Paralysis is the main threat. Take them out with Dia2 or Fire2 if you can spare the Spell slot.

Specters are the latest addition to the Undead roster, appearing exclusively (and often) in the Ice Cavern. They are low on Defense but high on Evasion, and have more hit points than most of the Undead you've faced, so Dia1 is a waste against them. Dia2 or Fire2 can do quite a number on them, and it's best to take them out before they Paralyze the party.

GHOSTS are nasty Undead that hit extremely hard. They Paralyze their victims, but damage is your primary concern. Since nothing else in the Sunken Shrine is vulnerable to Fire, FIR3 can be put to good use against GHOSTS. The Mage Staff and Light Axes are also useful, and will not cost any Spell slots.

Some of the ghosts wandering the Phantom Train offer to join the party. They aren't particularly powerful, but they do have a one-use Possess Command that can take out any single Monster. Keep in mind the ghost isn't just killed when using this attack, but removed from the party entirely.

If Shadow is not in the party, you can have two ghosts join you. The second has a bit less HP and starts three Levels lower than the first, but still has the same Possess Command.

Ghosts love to cast Fire and will also use the more powerful Fire Wall. Perhaps even more dangerous is their Pause attack, which inflicts Stop. Fortunately they aren't very tough.

Ghost are undead, making them vulnerable to Fire and Cure Spells. They will Drain the Character with the highest HP. and Vanish (making them unhittable) when attacked. Keeping those attacks going can prevent them from using Drain.
