Gadd gives Luigi a wrench so he can replace the pinwheel vanes. Once we replace the vanes, we must look for a way through the Hollow Tree. Gadd thinks the Dark Moon piece is near the top.
Entrance
We land at the entrance, with a carnivorous plant staring at us. Its vines are closing the gate to the Courtyard, so we'll have to do something about it. Pull the plant out of the pipe and fill up a bucket with water. Water the plants, one of which has a spiky bulb. Shoot the spiky bulb at the carnivorous plant to open the gate.
Courtyard
We enter the Courtyard, only to find a Greenie telling a Slammer to rip off the last vane of the pinwheel gate. The Greenie flies off, but the Slammer remains. Approach the Slammer and two more Slammers appear. Once you take care of them, the Greenie returns to find out what became of his buddy. Once all the ghosts are defeated, go replace the vanes. Spin the vanes to open the gate and knock on the tree to enter the Hollow Tree.
Hollow Tree
The Hollow Tree is filled with stairs. There's a spiderweb in the back that we'll have to burn at some point. There are ghosts here, so be alert. They'll appear if you try to go down a staircase. There's another large spiderweb at the top. Pull the dangling web to a torch to light it and burn the web. This will open the mysterious passage. When you try to enter it, it will shut. Gadd says we'll need a special key found in the Crypt to open the door. The stairs are blocked, so grab the dangling web ball and drop to the ground below. Use a web ball to burn the large web there. Use (X) to keep the burning web ball out of the water. Before you leave, ignite another web ball and walk to the left. There are a couple of webs here, one with gold spiders. Pick up the bucket and dip it in the water, then walk to the right. On that side is a plant to water. It has an emerald. Knock on the back wall to enter the Tree Root.
Tree Root
Follow the tunnel, which goes to the left. At the end, you'll see a vine. Leave it alone. Vacuum up the moss with mushrooms to reveal another vine. Pull it to spin a root around and check it out. This is an elevator that leads through the mouth of a bird statue into the Old Graveyard.
Old Graveyard
There are a couple of Gold Bars behind the bird statue. Stand in front of the nearest tombstone and vacuum up for an emerald. Walk to the right to enter the main part of the graveyard. Farther to the right is a coffin. Extinguish the candles to make a Gold Greenie appear. On the right side is a Gold Bar. Go up the stairs and the torches extinguish. The door at the top leads to the Crypt.
Crypt
There's a bundle of vines hanging from the back wall. Pull it a few times to make the wall crumble, revealing another room. There's a tan painting of a Toad on the back wall. Peel off the moss on the left wall for money. Restore the vase on the right to make Booluga appear. Booluga has 25 HP. Use the Dark Light on the Toad picture to make Toad appear from it. He's free and Luigi is his hero, although he has no idea why Luigi's there in the first place. The Dual Scream's ringtone freaks Toad out. Gadd says that Toad is one of his assistants. Gadd sent the Toad to look after the Haunted Towers, and because he was trapped, the place is a mess. He wants to return the Toad to the Bunker for info on the special key, but he can't teleport both of us out of here. We should take him to the pixelator screen in the Gardener's Lab. Toad will follow us, but will freak out at anything scary, like a coffin falling with bats in it. Pick him up with the vacuum if necessary. It calms him down.
Old Graveyard
When we enter the Old Graveyard, three ghosts with mirrors appear from the ground. The stairs are blocked off. The ghosts will circle Luigi. Wait until one moves their mirror away to stun them. The yellow one has 50 HP, the green one has 100, and the purple one has 150. This is a difficult battle. Stun the crows for hearts. Try to dodge the other two to avoid being hit by their mirrors. Once you defeat them, Gadd says that they were the ghosts of the Three Sisters, who are paranormal celebrities. Apparently, the Three Sisters are normally very polite. The Dark Moon shattering may be why they're acting so rudely. Grab Toad and leave on the right. Walk up the short stairs onto the coffin and it lowers into the Sewer.
Sewer
Instead of taking Toad immediately to the pixelator screen, I decided to check out the back area with the coffins. Open the standing coffin to be teleported into a new area. There are red coins, carnivorous plants and 13 seconds on the timer. Run to collect all of them to make a chest with gold bars appear. The other coffin has money as well. Lead Toad out of the Sewer.
Gardener's Lab
Carry Toad through the water. Take him to the pixelator screen and activate it. The carnivorous plant that was here last time is gone. Gadd returns us to the Bunker.

Gadd says the Toad can't remember what happened to him. He did bring back a photo from one of Gadd's security cameras. He'll unscramble the image for us.
