How to Beat Strong Hider

Catch Them Hiding

Strong Hiders have more HP compared to the regular one, but they behave the same way. They can hide in furniture, and can throw objects at Luigi and deal damage.

Dealing with Strong Hiders is essentially the same as dealing with the regular ones. Luigi just has to catch them where they're hiding, flash them with the Strobulb, then capture them using the Poltergust before they can hide again.

Capture Other Ghosts First

Since Strong Hiders will hide from Luigi, it's best to deal with other ghosts first like Greenies before taking on Strong Hiders. Aiming for Strong Hiders first will make it more difficult for Luigi to clear ghosts since the others can just attack him while he's trying to find and deal with Strong Hiders.
