In the hauntingly beautiful world of Infinity Nikki, Chapter 5: Wishes and Delusions challenges players to reclaim the Aureum Vase from the enigmatic Prophet. The Ghost Train quest at Choo-Choo Station unlocks a dungeon where stylists navigate spectral railcars while battling Esselings and tracking artifacts. This eerie locomotive journey conceals three precious Whimstars and twenty-three Dews of Inspiration β collectibles essential for progression and customization. As of 2025, mastering this phantom express remains a critical milestone for stylists seeking to unravel the Abandoned District's secrets.
π Unlocking the Phantom Express
Located in Choo-Choo Station within the Abandoned District, the Ghost Train dungeon activates exclusively after initiating the 'Ghost Train' quest. Though players visit this station early in the main storyline, the spectral rails materialize only when pursuing the Prophet's stolen relic. The dungeon unfolds like a mechanical ghost ship, its corroded carriages whispering forgotten stories while presenting platforming challenges and timed obstacles.
β Whimstars: Trio of Luminous Secrets
Three glowing Whimstars await discovery in the Ghost Train's shadowy corners. Collecting all requires precision jumps and environmental awareness:
-
Heavy-Duty Flatbed Constellation: After boarding and activating the train with Hardworking Lil' Fannypack, advance through railcars to the Heavy-Duty Flatbed checkpoint. Leap onto stacked boxes at the highest point, then pivot to spot a Whimstar shimmering inside a container like a firefly in a mason jar.
-
Phantom Pop-Up Surprise: Progress until a spectral barrier materializes. Vault over this ephemeral obstacle and immediately double back to where it appeared β the second Whimstar materializes in the vacated space, as fleeting as a dream upon waking.
-
Inferno Overhead Revelation: In the burning wires section, where flaming cables demand constant upward vigilance, locate a breakable cover beneath your feet. When the next fiery cable retracts, execute a plunging attack to shatter the cover and claim the final Whimstar β a treasure hidden like a pearl inside an iron oyster.
π§ Dews of Inspiration: 23 Sparkling Pairs
Twenty-three Dews appear in luminous pairs throughout the dungeon. Following their trail resembles chasing constellations in a murky sky:
| Location | Visual Clue | Collection Method |
|---|---|---|
| Entrance Gateway | Above arched doorway | Float from haystacks to gateway apex |
| Leftmost Railcar | Inside metal container | Board train then go left instead of right |

| Bag Cluster | Near burlap sacks | Jump to adjacent car after left-car discovery |
| Passenger Car Boxes | Left-side cargo boxes | Pass passenger car, leap to next car, then float back |
| Spooky Pop-Up Zone | Same car as barrier | Collect while dodging the apparition |
| Flatbed Checkpoint | Under platform | Advance past Heavy-Duty Flatbed |
| Platform Level 1 | Right-side elevated platform | Ascend after checkpoint |
| Platform Level 2 | Next car's upper platform | Leap from previous platform |

| Hayloft Overlook | Above dried grasses | Proceed to elevated area post-platforms |
| Shipping Boxcar | Beneath checkpoint platform | Locate before overhead wires section |
| Final Platform | Left upper level past wires | Ascend after breakable cover area |
