TIPS FOR CATCHING GHOSTS -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- There are three approaches to catching normal Ghosts in Luigis Mansion. 1. Attack; As the name implys you just run straight up to the ghost and do your best to suck it in. Make sure you get it with your flashlight first or you will be in a bit of trouble. 2. Slow Approach; Carefully and slowly make your way towards the ghost and if you move slowly enough, It will not see you until it is in your flashlight beam and being sucked in. 3. Surprise Attack; No, you do not surprise attack the ghost. This is a strategy for if a ghost suprises you. Use the C-Stick to move the torch straight into it. Hopefully then you should have it but you need to be quick and make sure you use the C-Stick. -=-=-=-=- 5. LEGAL -=-=-=-=- Time for the boring stuff. This file is Copyright (c)2003 Andrew Barker.
