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.

SHADOWS don't hit hard and can't take many hits, but their attacks inflict Darkness. Combined with their moderate Evade, SHADOW battles can drag on for some time. They also gain surprise against the party in most battles. HARM is effective due to their low HP, allowing you to save HRM2 and FIR2 for more dangerous Monsters.

IMAGES are Paralyzing Undead with high Evade. They're not hard to kill if you can hit them, but that is no trivial matter. Their attacks are powerful, but the Paralysis is the main threat. Take them out with FIR2 or HRM2 if you can spare the Spell slot.

WRAITHS are the latest addition to the Undead roster, appearing exclusively (and often) in the Ice Cave. They are low on Absorb but high on Evade, and have more hit points than most of the Undead you've faced, so HARM is a waste against them. FIR2 or more powerful HARM Spells 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. 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.

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.

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.
