gloomy manor gem locations

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

Gems – or in the case of Gloomy Manor, Amethysts – are the main collectible found in the game. They’re scattered throughout various missions, and they’re all rather tricky to find. 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.

Nintendo first teamed up with Tantalus on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD back in 2016. As it turns out, the two sides just completed another project together.
