Learn how to use Vivian's Veil ability in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door to avoid charged attacks and navigate tricky situations like the Creepy Steeple.

This section details how to use Vivian's "Veil" ability to avoid charged attacks, primarily from the fake Mario encountered on the Twilight Trail. It also covers navigating the Creepy Steeple, finding key items like the Shine Sprite and Tornado Jump, and discovering the ghost's name, Doopliss.

    In the first room of the Creepy Steeple, defeat Buzzy Beetles (Quake Hammer recommended) and collect the Shine Sprite.

    Exit the door and return to the shed on the Twilight Trail.

    When the fake Mario asks for the ghost's name, enter "Doopliss" (D-o-o-p-l-i-s-s).
  12. 12
    The ghost will flee to the Creepy Steeple. Head back there.
  13. 13
    Go up the spiral staircase, heal, save, and use the springboard.

    In the living room, you'll find Doopliss with your partners, who have been tricked into thinking you're with the Shadow Sirens. They will attack you.
