Search for Treasure

The mission begins in the Entrance, and Luigi has a clear path to his first objective. Before heading to the Foyer, have Luigi search the surrounding area for treasure. Afterwards, use the door on the east wall to enter the Mudroom.

Once inside the Mudroom, trigger the switch under the rug to reveal a small amount of treasure, and search the various drawers and containers. Vacuum the ceiling fan until four gold spiders lower into view. Use the Strobulb on the spiders before they vanish. Each spider Luigi flashes will transform them into a gold bar. After clearing the room, return to the Entrance and move down to the Front Yard.

While in the Front Yard, check the vases, use the Strobulb to flash the purple flowers, and vacuum the weeds around the area. Afterwards, head back inside.

Visit the Garage first and collect treasure there. Use the Strobulb to flash the mice along the floor, then check the drawers and containers placed throughout the room. Once done, leave the Garage and head to the first objective.

Investigate the Foyer

Have Luigi go through the Guard Hall to enter the Foyer. While in the Guard Hall, use the Strobulb to flash the mice scurrying along the floor.

Upon entering the Foyer, Luigi will see a group of Slammers swipe the mechanism's gears. When they spot Luigi, they will split up and flee the area. Professor E. Gadd will then call Luigi and ask him to track down the Slammers and recover all four stolen gears. Before starting the task, however, enter the door on the east wall, which leads to the Coatroom.

Once inside the Coatroom, vacuum the coats and the loose wallpaper, then inspect the toilet to activate the secret passage.

While inside the secret room, vacuum the rug on the floor to reveal a Gold Greenie. Use the Strobulb on the Gold Greenie, then capture it using the Poltergust before it escapes. Afterwards, go back to the Coatroom and return to the Foyer.

Upon returning to the Foyer, have Luigi approach the door in the northwest corner. This will trigger a cutscene where a ghost holding a gold key pops out, then runs towards the Entrance. Chase the ghost by going through the Guard Hall and exiting on the Entrance.

Once on the Entrance, the ghost will appear once again. Use the Strobulb to stun the ghost, then capture it and collect the treasure that it drops using the Poltergust, and retrieve the gold key.

Recover the Gear from the Lab

After retrieving the gold key, return to the Foyer, and search the drawers and vases around the room, then move to the west wall and unlock the door to the Common Hall.

Once inside the Common Hall, vacuum the rug on the floor to reveal the coins hidden underneath, and collect them. Locate the loose patch of the wallpaper on the west wall, and vacuum it to open the path to the Secret Pocket. Before entering the Secret Pocket, have Luigi go north to explore the rest of the Common Hall. Vacuum the bills that's on top of the table to collect them. Then, use the Poltergust to remove the webbing on the window. Once the webbing is removed, bats will fly through the opening, so have Luigi dash away quickly, then use the Strobulb to flash them. Afterwards, return to the Lab door and enter it.

Upon entering the Lab, approach the chalkboard on the back wall to reveal a hiding Greenie. Once the first enemy is exposed, a second Greenie appears in the area. Capture both of the weaker enemies to force the first Slammer out of hiding. Flash the Slammer using the Strobulb, then capture it with the Poltergust. Once captured, the Slammer will drop the first gear on the workspace. Retrieve the gear, search the objects in the room, then return to the Common Hall and enter the Secret Pocket.

While inside the Secret Pocket, vacuum the trash pile in the middle of the Secret Pocket, then use the peephole to peek into the Studio. Go deeper into the Secret Pocket, and use the Poltergust to collect the key in the corner. Afterwards, leave the Secret Pocket, then return to the Foyer.

Once on the Foyer, have Luigi climb the stairs. When he's close to the top of the stairs, the steps will invert, forcing Luigi to slide back down the stairs. A scene will then trigger where a blue ghost appears, and the room will lock down. Hunt down the ghost and capture it. The ghost will hide in the objects around the room. Simply interact with the objects to force the ghost to show itself. Once it shows itself, use the Strobulb to stun it, then capture it using the Poltergust.

Afterwards, have Luigi go to the second floor of the Foyer and open the door located there. This will lead Luigi to the Master Hall.

Find the Gears on F2

Once inside the Master Hall, move to the south end of the room, then use the Poltergust to roll up the edge of the rug. Three gold spiders will spring out from a hole in the floor. Flash them with the Strobulb, then flash the red spiders that drop down with the ceiling. Search the rest of the aarea, then enter the Parlor through the door in the Master Hall's southwest corner.

Once inside the Parlor, have Luigi explore the room and collect the treasure there. Use the Strobulb to flash the clock along the back wall, then collect the Baguette Amethyst that drops to the ground. Inspect the painting just east of the clock, then collect the treasure that spills out from the wall. Use the Poltergust to vacuum the ceiling fan. As the blased pick up speed, a large panel opens to drop even more treasure to the floor.

Afterwards, use the Poltergust on the gramaphone in the middle of the room until ghosts pop up. Stun the ghosts using the Strobulb, then capture them using the Poltergust. Collect the treasure they drop using the Poltergust, retrieve the second gear, then return to the Master Hall.

Follow the Master Hall north and head through the Bedroom door. Vacuum the loose wallpaper in the southeast corner, then vacuum the hanging coats to the left. Peek through the exposed opening for a view of the Study. Use the Poltergust on the pull cord hanging near the stove, which will reveal a bed. Have Luigi hop onto the bed to use the secret passage to the Study.

Upon entering the Study, approach the gear on the rear wall. The first of the four Greenies locks the gear behin a hinged painting. Back away from the visible enemy, and charge a Strobulb flash to stun any nearby ghosts. While dealing with the Greenies, watch out for the mice scurrying around the Study. Capture all four Greenies, then capture the Slammer to reveal the gear. Vacuum the gear down from the wall, then search all the vases and drawers in the area.

Vacuum all six of the Study's curtains to reveal a nicee stash of treasure, then use Poltergust to roll the rug toward the east wall. Afterwards, step on the revealed switch, then invesitgate the fireplace to drop down to the studio.

Collect the Last Gear

Once inside the Studio, two Hiders dart out of sight. Search the surrounding objects until you discover one of the ghosts. As you capture the first Hider, watch out for incoming attacks from its partner. Capture both Hiders to reveal the Studio's Slammer. After capturing the Slammer, collect the gear it leaves behind. Answer the call on the Duel Scream, then search the Studio's various objects.

Look through the camera to locate the Football Amethyst, then move to the bay window. Aim the Poltergust at the ceiling, just behind the left curtain. Vacuum the web holding the Gem in place - the suction should draw the Football Amethyst right into Luigi's arms. Vacuum the trash pile blocking the door on the east wall. Vacuum the cloth from the easel, then search any remaining vases and drawers. Afterwards, leave the Studio and head back to the Foyer.

Once at the Foyer, move to the room's northwest corner. Investigate the disabled mechanism, then answer the Duel Scream to complete the mission.
