GEISTS first appear near the Marsh Cave and will make your life miserable. Their attacks cause Paralysis, and they make three of them each round. They aren't hard to kill if you can hit them, but often your Warriors will be paralyzed before they even get a chance. HRM2 or FIR2 can take out groups quickly.

Ghasts first appear near the Marsh Cave and will quickly make your life miserable. Like most Undead, their attacks Paralyze, but just for good measure, they get three attacks. They aren't hard to kill if you can hit them, but often your Warrior will be Paralyzed before he gets a chance. They can chip away at your party's HP after locking them down, so it may be wise to use Dia2 or Fire2 to take them out quickly. The same strategy applies later when they start appearing in mixed groups of Undead.

Ghasts are tough to kill and capable of casting Fire. Take out their allies first, then concentrate on keeping your party healthy while you whittle away at the Ghast's HP. If at all possible, try to get a preemptive strike to speed the process.
