Guide to defeating the Portrait Ghost Shivers in the Butler's Room 1F of Luigi's Mansion. Learn how to lure him, battle him, and find all the loot!

Alright, so you're trying to clear out the Butler's Room on the first floor. This room is key because it's where you'll face Shivers, a Portrait Ghost! You don't actually *need* to come in here until you're ready to light it, which means dealing with Shivers. It's located just south of the Laundry Room. You might have noticed a floating candlestick zipping around the north part of the corridor – that's your cue!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you need fire. Head west of the foyer doors to find a candle. Grab that fire element.
  2. 2
    Now, head back and use that fire on the floating candlestick you saw. This will reveal Shivers, who's holding it!
  3. 3
    Shivers, like many ghosts, is afraid of fire. He'll make a run for his room – the Butler's Room. He's a bit of a show-off, though, and will take the long route, heading towards the basement stairs before doubling back to his room. You can just head straight there.
  4. 4
    When you get to the Butler's Room, Shivers will eventually show up. While you're waiting for him, you might notice some rats scurrying around. Feel free to take care of them if you want.
  5. 5
    Once Shivers enters, he'll try to put out the candles by sitting on them. This is your chance! While he's busy with that, get your Poltergust ready and vacuum him up.
  6. 6
    Warning: This room has some obstacles, so be careful not to get spun around too much. Try to keep him on one side as you're vacuuming to maintain control.
  7. 7
    Once you've successfully captured Shivers, the room will be lit!
Tips
  • After the room is lit, check the cupboard in the top left corner and the lamp for some extra cash.
  • There's a blue gem waiting for you in the bucket in the bottom left corner. Don't miss it!
  • Lighting this room also makes a chest appear, which contains a key. This key unlocks the Conservatory, but you could also use it to access the Hidden Room first if you're feeling greedy for more money.
