Enemies That Drop Ectoplasm
While it may seem like a daunting task to track down Ethereal Undead to get some ectoplasm, it is quite easy to find them. Essentially, every type of these undead can drop the ingredient. This will include Ghosts, Wraiths, and Spectral Sailors. There are going to be multiple types of these ethereal figures as well. You have theAncient Ghosts,Faded Wraiths,Gloom Wraiths, andSanctified Deadas a few examples. Spots that will house these undead are typicallyUndead Dungeons, with some having a decent chance of appearing withinNecromancer Dungeonsas well.
These dungeons all have the greatest chance of encountering the Ethereal Undead.

While Necromancer ruins will have a high chance of Ethereal Undead appearing, the Conjurer ruins willnothave this same effect. The Conjurer ruins were filtered out here, but keep this in mind for any future expeditions to ruins and dungeons. One solid location for some quick ectoplasm, in particular, will beRielle. These ruins are available relatively early on in the game, and do not require a quest to get into the other sections of them.
While not a large set of ruins, it is still a medium-sized one with plenty of loot to gather on top of your ectoplasm ingredient. Rielle is just to thewestof theCloud Ruler Temple, which the main quest will also take you to, making it very easy to find. It should be noted that all variants of the Wraith will drop ectoplasm, but some ghosts aren’t going to drop it. TheNether Lich, for example, may look like a ghost in-game, but it will not drop the ingredient.
When exploring these dungeons, looking for ectoplasm, you will be able to come back within 72 in-game hours to explore them once again to farm the ingredients. Some of these ruins are going to be filled to the brim with enemies, while others are smaller with fewer enemies overall, but also less of a chance of things going sideways for you.
