In the first Halloween update for Steal an Egg, there’s a questline where you help a spectral dog find four lost items, then reunite it with its owner. Completing this quest rewards you with the Phantom Express Ticket that allows you to board the train. Here’s how to complete it.
Where to Find Echo the Ghostly Dog
To start the questline, you need to locate the ghost dog named Echo. Echo is found in the first zone of the Halloween Dimension.
From Spawn, head along the path until you pass the first tree on your left. Turn left at this tree and you will see three mausoleums and a witch hut in the distance.
Head over to the hut, where you’ll find Echo standing by the cauldron.
Where to Find the Dog’s Lost Items
When you speak to Echo, he tells you he lost four items (memories) you must find for him. These items are hidden throughout the Halloween Dimension.
- Old Collar
- Chewed Bone
- Stuffed Bunny (Mr. Squeaky)
- Old Photograph
If you select any of the items from the menu, Echo will give you a clue about where to look for it.
1. Collar
Clue: “I used to watch the trains at the old station…“
The Old Collar is located at the Phantom Express Train Station (right side of Halloween Dimension when facing away from spawn).
To reach the Old Collar, go onto the train platform and make your way across the tracks. You’ll see the item floating by a tree — pick it up.
2. Chewed Bone
Clue: “I buried something in the swampy marsh… probably!“
From the Phantom Express, head straight into the Swampy Marsh. Walk forward until you see a dock/pier. To the left, you’ll see some rocks. By the rocks is the Chewed Bone — pick it up.
3. Stuffed Bunny (Mr. Squeaky)
Clue: “I was playing by the big pumpkin altar… I dropped something there.“
If you turn right from where you met Echo, you’ll see an altar with a big pumpkin. Head over to it — the Stuffed Bunny (Mr. Squeaky) is next to the altar.
4. Old Photograph
Clue: “Those glowing crystals by the manor gate… something shiny was there“
The Old Photograph is located by the Manor Gate. To reach this area, head along the main path from Spawn to the very end.
At the end, you will reach a locked gate. When facing the gate, look behind the rocks on the left to find the photo.
There’s plenty more in the Halloween update (Part 1). Check out our Halloween event guide so you don’t miss anything!
Return to Echo the Ghostly Dog
When you’ve found all four items, you’ll be prompted to return to Echo. Head back and speak to him.
After speaking to the dog, follow him to his owner, the Ghost Fisherman. Speak to the Ghost Fisherman to get a Haunted Rod.
Where to Use the Fishing Rod
After you get the Haunted Rod, you need to use it. There will be a glowing dot on the pier. Stand on it, then cast the rod into the ripples in the little pond nearby.
If you do it correctly, a strange fish will pull you under the water and into a mini-game.
Complete the Underwater Mini-Game
The underwater mini-game is fairly straightforward: a strange fish pulls you along, and you must avoid the hazards in your path.
You have three lives (hits) you can take before you die. The goal is to reach the treasure chest at the end.
When you reach the chest at the end, you receive the Phantom Express Ticket.
What Does the Phantom Express Ticket Do?
The Phantom Express Ticket allows you to board the Phantom Express every half hour. The train takes you to the Forgotten Town where you can suck up ghosts and trade them in for the Spectral Mutation Item.
As of Halloween Part 2, you can also find a special whirlpool in the lake in Forgotten Town. It leads to an area where you can fish for the Manor Key.
That’s everything you need to complete the dog’s quest in Part 1 of the Halloween update for Steal an Egg! Hope this guide helped!

Comments
The item locations in this quest were the part I kept missing, so having them laid out in order saves a lot of wandering. The train ticket step in particular was not obvious at all.
