Quick answer: 500 Souls is the price reported by an edited community guide, but this review did not find an official developer price announcement independently confirming it. Older material shows 1,000 Souls. Check the current Soul Extractor display in your live game before spending.

Steal An Egg’s Halloween Dimension Update 9 added a route to the Spectral Mutation through the Phantom Express. Players have seen conflicting prices, so this guide separates the community-reported number from what is officially verified.
Is Spectral Mutation really 500 Souls?
Best current answer: 500 Souls is community-reported, not officially confirmed here. An edited community guide lists 500 Souls, while an older infographic still shows 1,000. Launch-period discussion also refers to a possible reduction. We did not find an official developer balance note confirming the change, and this article has not independently inspected the Soul Extractor in a live server. The in-game price is the final check.
How to reach the Spectral Mutation area
- Enter the Halloween Dimension through the event portal in the main game.
- Complete Echo’s Memories quest and follow the in-game objectives to obtain the Phantom Express Ticket.
- Return to the station and board the Phantom Express when it arrives. Community guides report arrivals at XX:00 and XX:30; check the live event for changes.
- In the train-accessed area, use the ghost-catching equipment described by community guides to collect Souls.
- Read the current Soul Extractor price before exchanging Souls for a Spectral Mutation consumable.
Buying the consumable does not guarantee the mutation
The exchange for a consumable and the attempt to apply it to an egg are separate steps. Community guides report a 25% application chance, but we did not find an official developer specification confirming that probability. If the reported chance is accurate, each attempt can still fail; four attempts do not guarantee success.
What about the reported 2.75× multiplier?
Some community mutation guides list Spectral at a 2.75× income multiplier. The reviewed launch announcement does not specify that number, so treat it as community-reported. To compare fairly, record the same egg’s displayed income before and after applying a mutation, keeping boosts, pet size, and game-pass conditions consistent.

- Open the Soul Extractor and read its current price.

Why do some guides say 1,000 Souls?
Older infographic material shows that number. Community discussion suggests a change, but the live Soul Extractor display is decisive.

No. Community guides describe application as a separate chance-based step; the reported 25% chance has not been independently confirmed here.
What multiplier does Spectral give?
Some community references report 2.75× income. The reviewed launch announcement does not confirm it, so verify the displayed income in-game.
How do I get Souls?
Community walkthroughs say to reach the Spectral area aboard the Phantom Express and use the ghost-catching equipment there. Follow current in-game prompts because mechanics can change.
Should I save Souls until the price is clear?
Yes. If the in-game display differs from a guide, pause and verify before exchanging currency.
