Luigi's Mansion 2 HD brings back the ever-reliable Poltergust, a vacuum-like device that is instrumental in Luigi's ghost-hunting endeavors. With the Poltergust, players can illuminate dark areas, manipulate objects in the environment, and, most importantly, capture misbehaving spirits. It is the ultimate tool for aspiring paranormal investigators.

Ghost-Catching Mechanics

To deal with the various spectral nuisances in Evershade Valley, Luigi wields the Strobulb, a device that can temporarily stun ghosts. Once a ghost is immobilized, players can utilize the Poltergust to capture them. The game introduces a novel twist by allowing players to capture multiple ghosts simultaneously, adding an exciting layer of strategy to ghost-hunting.

Diverse Haunting Grounds

Evershade Valley is not short on haunted locales. In "Luigi's Mansion 2 HD," players will explore a former plant research lab, a decrepit clock factory brimming with sand, an ice and snow-covered mine, and numerous other spine-tingling settings. Each area promises unique challenges as ghosts employ a variety of tactics to hinder Luigi's progress.
