Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon -- Treacherous Mansion - E-2 Double Trouble

Gadd says the signals from the mansion are getting stronger, so locating the Dark Moon piece is impossible at this point. He's also worried about the Toad assistant looking after the exhibits of artifacts from all over Evershade Valley. He might know about the Dark Moon piece, but from what we saw in the last mission, we won't find him easily.

Veranda
We land next to the front door. Go through the front door into Front Entrance, after King Boo goes away.

Front Entrance
There are several E-Gates here, but they have to be activated from somewhere else. The gargoyle on the right has an invisible red ball. Pull it to make the stairs drop, revealing a safe. It contains a diamond and a Strong Slammer. The door on the left leads to the West Gallery.

West Gallery
There are a couple suits of armor and a gargoyle that gives you money. The door on the left leads to the Dark Age Exhibit.

Dark Age Exhibit
There are several medieval objects here. Check the iron maiden to make a couple of Strong Hiders and a Strong Greenie appear. Once you're done, check the treasure chest for money and a red book. Place back on the bookshelf to reveal the other E-Gate. The door on the back wall leads to Grand West.

Grand West
There's an invisible set of drawers to your immediate left with a Gold Greenie. Towards the back is snow. The hallway splits. In the hallway to the right, the second door on the left leads to the Kitchen. The first is fake.

Kitchen
The middle doors of the pantry conceal a carnivorous plant. Check the stove to get the burning chicken and shoot it at the plant for lots of money. Restore the ice box on the left to enter a secret area. It's another maze for Red Coins. Go either way, but be warned that the path is slippery and fish are in the water. Your reward is five gold bars. From Grand West, go through the door on the right to the Inner Courtyard.

Inner Courtyard (First Floor)
There's a large gargoyle holding two cages. Gadd says that there's a pixelator screen above us, but we'll need to figure out how to reach it. It's on the second floor. Other than getting some money, there's not much we can do here for now. Go through the back door in Grand West to the Ice Age Exhibit.

Ice Age Exhibit
There's a wooly mammoth here and lots of snow. The holes in the ice have fish that jump from them. Through the hole in the ice on the left, we can see a painting of a Toad. Inside the igloo is the E-Gate. Vacuum the wooly mammoth's trunk and it comes to life, and flings you to the Gargoyle Roof.

Gargoyle Roof
We can see the stars from here. Some are shooting stars, which we can pick up and place back in the constellation. It forms a star when finished and will give you a diamond. Restore the gargoyle on the front right corner for money. Return through the air vent. Return to the Front Entrance using an E-Gate.

Front Entrance
The door on the right leads to the East Gallery.

East Gallery
There's not much here beyond a gold mouse. The door on the right leads to the Jungle Exhibit.

Jungle Exhibit
There's a treasure chest under a leaf with lots of money. Nearby are some tiki statues. Vacuuming will rattle them, which makes Strong Greenies with spears appear. It also makes a carnivorous plant appear in front of the Toad painting. To the right is a vine to the lower level of the room. Under the waterfall is the E-Gate. Use it and others to return to the Dark Age Exhibit and pick up the Bucket the Strong Greenie was wearing and bring it back. The plant that needs to be watered produces a spiky bulb. Pick it up and step on the orange flower to spring to the level of the Toad painting. Green Toad says Boos chased him all over. His friend got captured. This Toad also does not like water, so help him out. The back door leads to Grand East.

Grand East
There are two Strong Sneakers here, which will try to use Green Toad as a shield. The hallway splits to the Inner Courtyard and the Restrooms.

Restrooms
There's a Strong Slammer reading a newspaper. Flush the toilet with the red ball and defeat him. The other door to the Restrooms must be restored from the hallway. Flush the toilet for a diamond. The door to the toilet stall will open. Approach the toilet and a Strong Greenie will flush it. Defeat it. The safe in the other restroom has lots of money. At the end of Grand East, the door leads to the Ancient Exhibit.

Ancient Exhibit
It seems like two eyes are staring at you. Activate the "eyes" to make the sand lower. This reveals torches and some sarcophagi. Pull the red ball a few times to reveal the E-Gate. This, however, awakens the mummies. On the bright side, the torches burn up the wrapping, revealing Strong Greenies. Once you're done with them, take Green Toad through the E-Gate, then through the E-Gate to the Jungle Exhibit. Bring the bucket of water back and walk up the ramp on the right. The plant on the left will give you a diamond. Go back and get a piece of wood from the Jungle Exhibit and light it on fire. Go through the E-Gates to the Ice Age Exhibit.

Ice Age Exhibit
Use the fire to thaw all the ice to the left. The pit in the back has an invisible treasure chest with lots of money. Save Pink Toad. Gadd says to pixelate the Toads, although he thinks there's only one of them. Once you leave the part of the room that was iced over, Strong Greenies appear. Once you deal with them, take the Toads to the Inner Courtyard.

Inner Courtyard
Pick up each Toad and shoot him into a cage. This makes Boopa Troopa appear, with 35 HP. Three Strong Sneakers assist it. Restore the gargoyle statue when you're done. Put the Toads in the cages again, stand back, and activate the statue with the Strobulb. This makes a winding staircase to the pixelator screen appear. Return the Toads. Gadd says he forgot two Toads were at the mansion and thought one was a ghost, so he hit one on the nose. (Not sure if Toads have noses, but that's besides the point.) He returns us to the Bunker.

Clear Time: 44:31
Ghosts Captured: 21
Health Lost: 115
Treasure: 2314
Silver Rank

Gadd says we're clumsy and sluggish, but dependable. The fact that he sent two Toads to Treacherous Mansion was a minor detail that got lost in his research. The Toads know nothing about the Dark Moon piece, but say there's lots of activity on the second floor of the mansion. They also have a security camera image.
