Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon -- Haunted Towers - Tree Topping

Now that we have the key to the Hollow Tree, we can go find the Dark Moon piece. It's at the top of the big tree in the Tree House. They key is fixed. Gadd says there are troubling, powerful signals coming from the Tree House.

Hollow Tree
We land at the top of the Hollow Tree, near the door. The door unlocks like a set of jaws and the path ahead is covered in vines. Ahead is a long set of staircases lit with torches. A ghost like the one that possessed the giant spider in Gloomy Manro appears and flies up to the top of the Eerie Staircase.

Eerie Staircase
The staircases are so steep it looks like you're going downstairs. There are three sets, and each is a bit of trial and error. Some staircases will flatten due to a ghost and you'll slide all the way down. Mice will start crawling down as well. Only one set of stairs is the correct one. If you slide down, some of the torches ahead will extinguish. Those mark the path you need to take. Eventually, you'll make it to the top and the stairs will be blocked off. There's a vine dangling from the back wall. Pull it a few times to break the wall down. Follow the ramp up, vacuuming the purple plant for a few coins. Pull the tassel for some drop-down stairs. This leads to the Tree House.

Tree House
It's quiet up here. If you try to walk up the stairs to the Tree House, the stairs come alive. It will move around, so avoid it. When it jumps, watch its shadow. When it lands, a red cord will appear from behind it. Pull it to make the ghost appear and vacuum off one layer of it. The stairs will try to blow you away and it shoots flames from its eyes. The ghost has only three layers, so it's done when you vacuum the red ghost. The Dark Moon piece appears and lands on the porch of the Tree House. Luigi moves the stairs into place. Gadd brings us back to the Bunker, but not after a little victory dance and a little comic relief involving a spiky bulb.

Gadd says our battle with the possessor ghost was so thrilling, he popped popcorn. We've unlocked a new mission in Haunted Towers due to the Boos we've caught. Gadd thinks it's not a coincidence that possessor ghosts have Dark Moon pieces in them. The new Dark Moon pieces gets cleaned up and the fog clears up to reveal another mansion. It's called Old Clockworks. It's actually an old clock factory.
