Hint: Treasure rooms
--------------------
Go to the southwest corner of the on the mansion's first floor.
Vacuum the butler that carries a candle. Look at the room with
the Game Boy Horror to find a mouse hole. Press A to examine the
mouse hole and enter a hidden treasure room.
Take the elevator in the toy chamber up to get on the chimney in
the mansion's roof. Fall off to land in a hidden treasure room.
After you defeat the three clock soldiers, the Shyguys, and the Ice
Element ghost, pick up the key that is in the top of the left ladder
tower. Do not go back downstairs after you get i. Instead, go to the
top right ladder tower with the hole at the top. Walk the plank that
is above it and drop down. You will learn that it is really a chimney
in the room where the door is boarded up. This is the only way to get
into this location, which is a treasure room. The first treasure chest
you open will contain a ghost. There are not that many, and you do not
need a special element to defeat them. Defeat the ghost and open all
the treasure chests. You will also get a key to another room.
Exit through the mirror transport.
Hint: Finding Boos
------------------
You can capture the fifty Boos that were let go at the start of the
game to get a large diamond. To do this, use the Game Boy Horror in
Boo sensor mode. Boos tend to hide in rooms with lights. Search all
locations within such rooms. A blue Boo sensor light indicates that
there is no Boo present. A yellow Boo sensor light indicates that a
Boo, Booball, or Bomb is near. A red Boo sensor light indicates you
are directly next to a Boo, Booball, or Bomb. Get the Boo sensor to
be red, then turn on the vacuum or press A to examine the target
object. If Booball appears, leave it alone to send it at a wall. Run
away if a bomb appears.
Hint: Capturing Boos
--------------------
To capture a Boo easier, all you need is an Ice element. When you use
an Ice element on a Boo, it will momentarily hesitate to move. This
gives you a chance to use your Poltergust 3000 on them.
Hint: Boos types
----------------
There are four types of Boos: white, blue, red, and black with a yellow
outline.
Hint: Defeating Boolousus
-------------------------
When you get a chance, try to locate one of the frozen unicorns at one
of the end of the balcony. While he's chasing you, just run circles
around the unicorn. He will eventually run into the spike and pop on
his own. Be careful -- once the Boos are separated, you have to watch
your back. They will run up behind you if you are not looking at them.
Hint: Defeating Chauncey
------------------------
After you defeat the Neville and Lydia, you get to Chauncey (the baby).
You have to defeat him two times. The first time, you have to pick up
the ball with the Poultergust 3000, aim, and press L to fire. Hit her and
she will blab about her owee. You become small and she will be very big.
She will throw rocking horses and balls. When all the balls are done
bouncing, one will be stationary. Pick it up, aim, and shoot it at her.
Hint: Defeating Lydia
---------------------
Use the following trick to capture the ydia. After you defeat the Neville,
he will give you a key. Go to the room at the end of the hall. Enter and a
girl ghost will be there, setting her hair. Go to the window go in front of
the curtain to the right. Stand facing to the right then vacuum with the
Poultergust 3000. It will move to the right and the ghost will walk to the
window saying "Oh what a draft". Use this chance to vacuum her up.
Hint: Defeating: Mr. Luggs
--------------------------
Use our Fire element to light the two candles. Suck up his food with the
vacuum. Ghosts will appear and serve him -- vacuum them up. When the food
is gone, he will shoot fireballs at you. Dodge them and when he starts
panting, vacuum him up.
Hint: Defeating Neville
-----------------------
To capture Neville, go over to the bookcase and vacuum with the Poultergust
3000. Books will fly out and he will go over to fix them. Use this opportunity
to flash the light and vacuum him in. You still have to vacuum in 100 heart
power. If you fail the first time, he will still not regain health. Repeat
this a few times to vacuum him in.
Hint: King Boo
--------------
When you finally make it to King Boo, you will have to walk very close to
start him talking. Instead, go directly to the right. You will see two vase-
like objects with purple flames coming out of them. Hit them (to check inside)
to find a gold bat in one and a lot of coins in the other.
Hint: Vacuuming ghosts and Boos
-------------------------------
If you can barely catch a Ghost while vacuuming, or just want a faster way
to do so, quickly rotate the C-stick. This is easier for those who do not
have too great of a time holding the C-stick in the opposite direction of
the Ghost, as each rotation will land at least one heart off the ghosts.
When you have one of those Ghosts in your reach, you have to go through the
difficulty of rotating the C-stick, which can be troublesome. To avoid this,
when you find and consume those scattering spirits, try staying in a corner of
the room. , and stay in that corner. See, that gives them only so much room to
escape. When you are in a corner, it minimizes their rotation to only 90
degrees, eliminating 75% of the struggle.
When vacuuming ghosts, instead of just holding the Analog-sticks in the opposite
direction of the ghost(s), repeatedly tap them in the opposite direction. The
ghost's hearts will drop a lot faster.
Use the Analog-stick and C-stick to aim at a Boo. Once its HP begins to drop,
stop using the C-stick and use only the Analog-stick to follow the Boo around
the room. Luigi will automatically change direction according to the Boo's
movement. The closer you are to the Boo, the faster its HP will drop. However,
if you touch the Boo, you will get hurt and the Boo will escape the vacuum. If
the Boo escapes through a wall, check your map to see which room it has escaped
to. Go to that room as quickly as possible.
Hint: Throwing Element balls
----------------------------
First, get an Element. Start to shoot the Element, and when you see the Element
to start to flow out of your Poltergust 3000, press L again. An Element ball should
shoot out of it.
To see an Element ball approach you, go to the first floor corridor where the
door on the left is the Dining Room and the door on the right is the Ballroom.
Have Luigi face you and fire an Element ball. This works with all three balls.
Hint: Avoiding trapped door
