Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon -- Secret Mines - D-3 Across the Chasm

Gadd's located the Dark Moon piece in the Workshop across the chasm. The pixelator over there isn't working, but we can use a gondola to cross. We can board it at the Terminal.

Chalet
The Chalet is dark and filled with snow. The snow seems to be coming from the fireplace. Vacuum the snow from around the elevator and check out the fireplace. This will take you upstairs. The window's open. Shut it by blowing air. Vacuum the painting on the wall to reveal a safe with lots of money. Spin the wheel on the pillar to make the chandelier rise. The chandelier above will light it. Spin the wheel the opposite way to lower it, which thaws the elevator. Go to the Terminal.

Terminal
The mirror on the back wall is cracked. Remove the snow covering an exploding robot and activate them both to crack the mirror further, revealing more exploding robots. Behind the mirror is a gondola. Approach it, and three strong ghosts with chains appear and seal it off. We'll need to defeat all of them to access the gondola.

Basin
The Strong Gobber is here. Restore the invisible exploding robot on the back wall and activate it. The Strong Gobber will disappear and Hiders will appear. Deal with the Hiders, which is difficult due to the ice, then deal with the Strong Gobber, with 300 HP. Keep moving to avoid his goop. You'll get a couple of hearts when you defeat him. This removes the yellow chain.

Crossroads
The Strong Greenie is the Smuggler's Hideout, so you'll pass by through here. Restore the invisible mine cart (you'll have to go through the E-Gate to capture the Spirit Balls) for a sapphire.

Smuggler's Hideout
One suit of armor is missing and the other is rattling. Restore the missing suit of armor and the Strong Greenie will appear and open the window to let some Sneakers in. Shut the window and deal with them. The Strong Greenie has 100 HP. Defeating him will break the green chain. Keep going down into the mine if you're treasure-hunting. Otherwise, go to the Chalet.

Deep Hall
Restore the kettle and pull it over the fire to make ParaBoola appear. ParaBoola has 35 HP.

Crystal Quarry
There's an E-Gate here. Activate it and go through it to return to the Chalet. You'll land on the couch, revealing a sapphire.

Chalet
Check the drawers near the pixelator screen to reveal the Strong Slammer. He'll go into the fireplace. Go near the fireplace and Greenies will appear, one with a shield. Once the Greenies are gone, the Strong Slammer will appear. It has 250 HP. Defeating it will remove the red chain. Return to the Terminal and enter the gondola.

Gondola
The gondola doesn't move anymore, but it has a gun like the one in the Haunted Towers. This one shoots flaming coals to melt ice. Thaw all of the ziplines, the tree near the crow's nest, and the treasure chest on the right. The tree will split and fall.

High Wires
Use the first zipline to cross to the crow's nest. Cross the fallen tree like a balance beam. The outhouse on the other side leads to a secret area. You have 60 seconds to hit all three Hiders with snowballs. After each successful hit, you'll get money. They'll throw snowballs at you, but they won't hurt. Defeat all three for a sapphire. Cross using the next zipline. You'll see King Boo going towards a mountain. The chest you thawed earlier has lots of money. Go through the gondola door to the Workshop Landing.

Workshop Landing
The Workshop is just across the beams. Explosions are going on inside. There are crows that fly over the beam with gold bars, so hop back and forth, or the crows will knock you off. If you look into the window, you'll see a possessor ghost throwing bombs at a purple fuzzy monster. Go through the door on the right to the Maintenance Room.

Maintenance Room
There's a conveyor belt with money and crystals. Gadd says we need to activate the generator to open the Workshop. There's an exploding robot on the belt as well. Toss it into the slots high in the back wall. Shoot multiple robots in, one at a time, and activate them to clear the obstacles. Once all three lights are on, the generator restores power. Unfortunately, this causes a rumble in the area and you're snowed in.

Clear Time: 25:57
Ghosts Captured: 12
Health Lost: 120
Treasure: 1617
Silver Rank

We can now access the Workshop without dealing with ziplines. We'll face the possessor next.
