Things to do before the boss (5)

Get ready for the fifth boss in Luigi's Mansion! Learn where to find the Money Ghost, catch the Golden Mouse, and water those essential plants before heading to the balcony.

Alright, so you're gearing up to face the fifth boss in Luigi's Mansion. Honestly, there isn't a ton of new stuff to do right before this one, but let's make sure you're totally prepped. We'll go over a few things that are good to have done.

First off, remember that plant in the Graveyard? If you've already beaten the second boss, you'll want to head back and water it a second time. Also, if you haven't already, make sure to water the plants on the little balcony outside the Wardrobe Room and the one in the Master Bedroom. Getting those watered is a good habit!

Next up, there's a sneaky Money Ghost hanging out in the Breaker Room in the basement. It's definitely worth your time to try and catch this one. Keep an eye out for it!

And then there's the Golden Mouse on the second floor. This little guy is a bit tricky. It shows up randomly in the 2F corridor, on the way to the third floor. You'll trigger it when you walk past a specific vase, right after the long vertical corridor. To actually catch it, you'll need to keep going into a room and then back out into the corridor, passing that trigger point again. It's super important to pass that trigger point to make it appear!

Here's a little visual aid, though it might not be the most helpful:

                                    _        
        Tea Room        2F Map     | |Bathroom
           __|_____________________| |Washroom
Stairs to 1F__|______   _____________|
                     | |
                     | |
     Trigger point   | |  It will run
                 \   | |  <-- up this
            ______\__| |     corridot
Stairs to 3F___________|

Yeah, maybe that ASCII art wasn't the clearest, but the main thing is to remember that trigger point and how to get the mouse to appear.

Finally, you're heading towards the balcony where the third boss is located. There are quite a few plants there, so if you feel like it, bring some water. You'll need at least 20 Boos collected to actually get to that balcony area, so just revisit any rooms you've already lit up to collect enough if you're short.
