scarescraper ghosts Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

Today, we’re going over the best strategies to beat the ScareScraper in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, as well as the best way to farm a whole bunch of ScareScraper ghosts.

As we discussed in our 100 percent guide for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, the toughest part of achieving full completion is catching all 45 exclusive ScareScraper ghosts. There are three main modes in the ScareScraper: Hunter, Rush, and Polterpup. Every time you clear four floors, the fifth floor will always be one of these boss ghosts. The idea is that you’ll team up with other real-life players to take down these bosses more easily. Fortunately, it doesn’t matter which one of you sucks up the boss ghost – it counts for all four of you.

Switch demos

Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.

Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD 100 Percent Completion Guide

Today, we’re going over how to complete one of the most time-consuming challenges Nintendo has provided for us this year: Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD 100 percent completion.

At first glance, it might not seem like there’s a ton to do in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD after clearing the main story. This isn’t quite the case, however. Clearing the Dark Moon quest alone isn’t enough to earn you full 100 percent completion. When you do fully complete the game, you’ll have three gold medals on your profile at all times. These show to people you play with in multiplayer ScareScraper lobbies, too. Each gold medal is unlocked with a different set of criteria, and believe us – it’s going to take you a long time if you want to get all three. It took us around 50 hours, and that’s probably on the lower end of the time you can expect to burn here.

boo locations Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

Today, we’ve put together a list of all the Boo locations in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD.

Boos are one of two main collectibles found in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD – in addition to gems, which we’ve already covered. Whereas some gems can be collected in several different missions, there is strictly one Boo per mission. Basically, discovering Boos requires the Dark-Light Device, which you don’t obtain until after the first few missions in the Gloomy Manor. Despite this, the first couple of levels do indeed have Boos, which means you’ll have to go back and replay them after you obtain the Dark-Light Device. To reveal a Boo, you will need to reveal a hidden furniture item with your Dark-Light Device and then suck up the spirit pieces to reveal it. From there, continue using your Dark-Light Device to bring the Boo out of hiding, and then grab its tongue and pull to deal damage to it.

treacherous mansion gem locations Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

Today, we’re going over the locations for all of the Treacherous Mansion Gems in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. If you missed our previous guide covering the Secret Mine gem locations, you can catch up via that link before you continue.

The Treacherous Mansion is the final mansion in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, and its gems look like diamonds. These are certainly the trickiest gems in the game, and several of them require extensive backtracking and rather difficult puzzles. We’ve also listed the missions that each gem is available in.

Partner upgrades Paper Mario Thousand Year Door

If you’ve been playing Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, we’ve got the full rundown on how to upgrade partners.

Partners are sort of the cornerstone of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its battle system. Each one has their own unique set of attacks, and swapping between them at the right time can make or break a tough boss battle. Mario can constantly level up and increase his stats, but the same isn’t true for partners. Instead, you’ll need to collect and use Shine Sprites to initiate a partner upgrade. Every partner can be upgraded twice, and doing so increases their attack power and grants them access to a new move. There are just enough Shine Sprites to fully upgrade all of your partners, so don’t worry about having to make any difficult choices. 

Secret Mine Gem locations Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

Today, we’re listing off the locations for all of the Secret Mine Gems in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. If you missed our previous guide on the Old Clockworks gem locations, you can catch up via this link before you continue.

The Secret Mine is the fourth mansion in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, and its gems take the form of Sapphires this time around. As with the previous collectibles, several sapphires can only be found in certain missions. We’ve listed the mission in question for each of the gems included here.

old clockworks gem locations Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

Today, we’re listing all the locations for the Old Clockworks Gems in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. If you missed out on our previous guide on the Haunted Towers gem locations, you can catch up via this link first.

The Old Clockworks is the third mansion found in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, and its gems take the form of Rubies. As with the previous collectibles, many of these can only be obtained during specific missions, and we’ve listed the level in question for each of the gems we’ve included here.

haunted towers gem locations Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

Today, we’re going over all the locations for the Haunted Towers Gems in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. If you missed our Gloomy Manor gems guide, you can catch up on that via this link first.

Gems take the form of Emeralds at the Haunted Towers, and they’re another form of the main collectible found in the game. Most of the gems we list here can only be obtained in a specific room of a specific mission, so you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled to uncover all 13 of them.
