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.

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.

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD review

System: Switch
Release date: June 27, 2024
Developer: Next Level Games / Tantalus
Publisher: Nintendo


When it was first released on the 3DS, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon never really felt like a sequel to the Gamecube title to me, and it wasn’t until the release of Luigi’s Mansion 3 on Switch that its significance really hit home. But the game simply felt too ambitious for its own good at the time and felt like it would have been a better fit for the ailing Wii U, which was better equipped to deal with its increased scope, visual style, and was also in desperate need of more games, which the 3DS never had any shortage of. But with its release on the Switch, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD feels as though it has finally been given some long overdue and much-needed room to breathe.
