Learn how to defeat The Toy Platoon Portrait Ghost in Luigi's Mansion's Clockwork Room 3F. Find out the strategy for this tricky ghost and catch the Boo!

Alright, you've made it to the Clockwork Room 3F! Before you go charging in, there's a little something you should know about this place. It's home to a Portrait Ghost called The Toy Platoon, and you'll also be looking for a Boo later on.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, don't just rush into the main event. Take a moment to check the lamps scattered around the room. You'll see some marionette dolls hanging from the ceiling on either side. Vacuum the spots where they hang from – you might find some extra cash or even an item!
  2. 2
    Now, you'll notice three clocks in the room. Your next step is to interact with all of them by pressing [A] at each one. This will trigger the appearance of The Toy Platoon, a group of ghostly soldiers who will start shooting their toy guns at you. Ouch, they sting!
  3. 3
    Here's a crucial tip: you don't need to worry about vacuuming all three soldiers at once. The real target is the blue soldier, who is in the middle. The green and pink soldiers are just there to distract you. Make sure to vacuum them up first.
  4. 4
    While you can 'fail' to catch the green and pink soldiers multiple times, you'll need to be much more focused when it's time to capture the blue one. Remember, they all count as a single Portrait Ghost encounter.
  5. 5
    Once you've dealt with The Toy Platoon, you'll be able to catch the Boo. The Boo will mention, "Time for the for the six o' clock Boos!"
  6. 6
    After catching the Boo, a door will open up in the house, the very one that the blue soldier was guarding. Head through this newly opened door, and you'll find yourself elevated to the roof of the mansion.
Tips
  • Keep an eye on your Poltergust meter; you'll need it to vacuum up the soldiers.
  • Don't get too caught up in trying to capture the green and pink soldiers. Focus your efforts on the blue one to progress.
  • The Toy Platoon's HP is 300, so be prepared for a bit of a fight.
