gloomy manor gem locations

Today, we’re going over all of the locations for the Gloomy Manor Gems in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD.

Some of them require the Dark-Light Device, which you don’t obtain until Gloomy Manor’s fourth mission. This means you’ll need to complete that mission and then revisit the first three levels if you want to get all the collectibles.
