The Red Emperor has washed up in Haze Seas, and he hits hard. The new Shanks raid drops the Gryphon sword and the Emperor Cape, while a fresh Ghost Ship event hands out the Phantom Lanterns you need for the Black Leg V2 upgrade. Here is exactly how each piece connects, where to find the fights, and what you walk away with.
Quick answer: Defeat the level 8000 Red Emperor in the Throne Room for a 2.5% chance at the Gryphon and a 5% chance at the Emperor Cape. Farm the level 5000 Ghost Ship for a guaranteed Phantom Lantern, then bring 2 Phantom Lanterns, $5,000,000 Beli, and 300 Mastery on Black Leg V1 to the Sage of Combat to unlock Black Leg V2.
Where the Red Emperor spawns and how the timer works
The Red Emperor is a level 8000 superboss that appears inside the Throne Room in the Third Sea. To reach him, follow the path from the Land of the Gods bridge into the Throne Room. A timer sits inside that room and counts down to his arrival, reading something like Boss spawns in 4:00:00.. (reduced by 0 minutes).
He spawns every four hours by default, but that window shrinks. Every superboss killed anywhere across the servers cuts the timer by 10 minutes, up to a maximum reduction of two hours. When he descends, the fog and sky turn blood red, and the server broadcasts The sea trembles.. a king approaches.
Note: The fight has two phases. Once you drain his first health bar, a cutscene triggers and his health fully restores for a second phase. Plan your cooldowns around that reset so you are not left dry when the second bar appears.
Red Emperor drop table
Clearing both phases rolls the loot table below. The Gryphon is the rarest pull, so expect a grind before it lands.
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
| Gryphon (sword) | 2.5% |
| Emperor Cape (accessory) | 5% |
| Blade Fragment (sword crafting material) | 2 per kill |
| Title: Dominion Over Red | On defeat |
Gryphon sword moveset
The Gryphon carries three abilities across the Z, X, and C keys. It is a clean crimson-themed kit built for pressure and crowd clearing.
| Key | Move |
|---|---|
| Z | Crimson Barrage |
| X | Death Cross |
| C | Vanquishing Tornado |
How to spawn and beat the Ghost Ship
The Ghost Ship is a level 5000 event that only surfaces during a storm. Its main reward is the Phantom Lantern, which feeds directly into the Black Leg V2 upgrade, so this is the event you run before touching the Sage of Combat.

| Ghost Chest | On defeat |
The Ghost Chest itself carries a smaller bonus table: a 10% chance at the Ghastly Haki color, a 10% chance at 5 Race Spins, and one guaranteed rare-or-better fruit.
How to unlock Black Leg V2
Black Leg V2 is an upgrade purchased from the Sage of Combat NPC, and it turns the base kit into a blue-flame moveset. You need three things ready before the trade unlocks.
The V2 kit swaps in four upgraded blue-flame moves: Demonic Crash, Tempest Whirlwind, Stampede, and Azure Inferno.
Common reasons the fights won’t start
If the Red Emperor is not spawning, check the Throne Room timer rather than waiting blindly. The countdown only reaches zero after the four-hour window, minus any global superboss reductions, so an early trip means an empty room.
For the Ghost Ship, the green altar only appears while a storm is active. If you do not see it on the Land of the Gods cliffside, a storm is not currently running, and you cannot begin sacrificing fruits until one arrives. Reaching 20 points is also mandatory, so partial offerings will not trigger the ship.
If you want to line up the raid rotation or check when the next storm window opens, the game runs on the current Third Sea build inside Haze Seas on Roblox. Bank a couple of Phantom Lanterns first, then chase the Gryphon while you wait out the Red Emperor’s timer, since both grinds run on separate clocks and you can farm them in parallel.
