Go into the Butler's Room, and go towards the North-east corner. Use your Game Boy Horror and look down at the corner, where you will see a mouse hole. Search on the mouse hole, and you'll be granted access into the Hidden Room, which is full of Ice-Elemental Ghosts and treasures.

Sealed Room

Hint by NintendoExpert on October 09, 2006  |  report this hint

In Area 4 go onto the Balcony and enter the chimney on the far right. Luigi will then fall into the Sealed Room. The room is full of treasure and the reward for clearing it is a key to the Sitting Room. The only way out of the room is through a mirror on the north wall.

Treasure Plant

Hint by NintendoExpert on October 09, 2006  |  report this hint

When you reach the Boneyard for the first time, water the seed in the garden and it will turn into a spout. When you reach Area 3, return to the Boneyard and the spout has become a bud. Water the bud and it will bloom into a flower. When you reach Area 4, return again and the flower has become a pod. Water the pod and it will bestow you with a huge amount of treasure (including a 20,000 G diamond). If you forget to water it and move onto the next area, it will wilt and won't give you anything.

Potted Treasure

Hint by NintendoExpert on October 09, 2006  |  report this hint

Watering potted plants in the mansion bestows you with treasure. Rooms that have plants include the Master Bedroom, the two Balconies, the Guest Room, and the Courtyard.

Fake Door Warning

Hint by NintendoExpert on October 10, 2006  |  report this hint

There are many ways to tell a real door from a fake door, which can harm Luigi if opened:

*The fake door does not shake if vacuumed.
*Fake doors don't show up on the GBH map.
*Fake doors disappear if exposed to the fire element.

Gold mouse

Hint by crazybasil on November 25, 2006  |  report this hint

Capturing the gold mouse is very hard if the gold mouse is infront of you. But the trick is to expose the mouse to the ice element. TH golden mouse should freeze if pointed correctly and directly at the mouse.

*But beware the trick only works for a few seconds.

Weak Vacuum

Hint by pheonix93 on May 06, 2007  |  report this hint

If you hold down the R button all the way, the vacuum will be strongest. if you only hold it down half way its half as strong, and if you hold it down just a little bit, it is very weak

Blue Ghosts

Hint by 2ofus on August 29, 2007  |  report this hint

In Gamecubes Luigis Mansion there are blue ghosts the move very quickly if you can catch vacuum them up they give you alot of money. If you catch all the gold mice and all the blue ghosts plus clear out the secret treasure room you will get an a rating at the end of the game. Your rating determines the size of the mansion you get. I don't think your rating makes any difference in gameplay on your next time through.

When the twins want you to play hide and seek it may take forever to find both of them. Use this to find them. Use your Polter-gust 3000 to suck on the boxes and make them shake. The two that shake are the ones the twins. Do this until you find both twins.

Beat Bogmire the Graveyard Ghost

Hint by Austin12 on January 27, 2008  |  report this hint

Once you beat the fat ghost in the 2nd area, go into the kitchen on the left of his room. Suck up the pots, pans, and the blue ghost. You will get the water medal. Get water at the sink. Put out the fire on the burning door. Go through into the dog's yard. Once the skeleton says to make the dog quiet, suck him up. When the dog eats on his bone, suck him up. Go do a X+A on the weird sparkling light in his doghouse. You will go to the bone yard. Examine each grave until three skeletons pop up. Suck them all up. Go to the big blue grave. When you are in the round fenced off ring, suck up the clear Bogmire duplicates. You will have a shadow ball in the vacuum. This is similar to Chauncey. Shoot the ball at the real pink Bogmire. While he is struggling with the shadow, suck him up and avoid the duplicates

Get Elemental Medals

Hint by Austin12 on January 27, 2008  |  report this hint

I'm not quite sure where you get the first element card, or the fire one.
To get the ice one, go through the door under the stairs in the foyer, then go right along the hallway in front of you. When you come to a hallway that intersects with the one you're on. Then, go through the first door to your left. Next, point and use your vacuum on the vase with the cubes of ice in it.
To get the water card, go in the backyard near the place you find Bogmire, the second boss ghost. Then, go to the place where the broken water pipe is. Finally, suck the bouncing bubble of water to get the third and last element card

Surprise the Secret Ghosts

Hint by Austin12 on January 27, 2008  |  report this hint

Have you noticed that in some rooms there are ghosts that won't appear until you turn your back to them? Well in one room where you meet the first one, there is a shelf of books that
explain that you should wait a few seconds and pretend that you aren't doing anything and then turn around with the flashlight on and stun the ghost so that you can press the R button to suck up the 100 lifepoint ghoul!

Easiest way to catch the Big book reading Ghost

When you go to the room where the books fly at you go to the fireplace and start sucking the vacuum slowly walk backwards with the vacuum still on when you get to his tail like thing he will get sucked up and just hold on!

Get reading ghost

Hint by Austin12 on January 27, 2008  |  report this hint

This made me very frustrated and i could never figure it out, but I finally figured it out a day or 2 ago. There is this one room where there is this ghost and he is rocking in a rocking chair and reading a book (I think it's a book). Anyway, leave your light off because it won't effect him. Wait for him to yawn, then hit him with the flashlight! I don't know why the designers made him vulnerable to the flashlight only when he is yawning, but just like the tootsie-pop commercial says "The world may never know...."

The Big, Bad Boo's Attacks

Hint by Austin12 on January 27, 2008  |  report this hint

In the start of the game, Luigi releases 50 Boos. Yes, 50 Boos. To find the Boos, search lighted rooms with your Gameboy Horror in the corners. Yes, in lighted rooms. A green light means there's no Boo, yellow means you're close, and red means you're right on target! Press the A button to examine the area and hopefully find a Boo. Your reward, a large diamond!
