Luigis Mansion 2 HD has finally graced our Switches and it’s an absolute delight so far. The first Boss you encounter in Luigis Mansion is the Spider Boss, so let’s jump in straight away and take a look at how to beat it!
Professor E Gadd will tell you that you need to use the elevator to confront the source of the Spider outbreak, and thankfully, the Pixellator places you right in front of it so there’s no backtracking. Simply click the buttons on the elevator and prepare for a ride. Once you get to the cellar, don’t forget to use the Dark Light Bulb on the picture of the coin, and loot the treasure chest under the stairs for some quick cash.
Phase 1:
The First Phase is rather simple enough. Simply approach the spider, doing your best to avoid all obstacles. When you get close to the spider, flash it with your flashlight, and as it cowers away, use the Poltergust 300 to grab the ball of web underneath it. Back away will still holding the vacuum button down, avoiding the purple poison blobs that it lobs at you, and move towards the knight. When you get close the knight will drop the torch, setting the ball on fire, which will knock the spider off his web. A ghost will pop out of the spider and shield, avoid its charge attack, then stun it with your flashlight, suck it up and it will return to the Spider. Watch out as the spider will now charge forward so move out of its way and prepare for Phase 2!
Phase 2:
This phase is the hardest in my opinion, but don’t fret, you got this! The spider will crash through a wall, knocking a chandelier down that has a ball of web attached to it. Using the blower function, aim at the chandelier so the web spins around, igniting on the previous knight and setting the web on the opposite side of the room alight, freeing a piercing knight. During this phase, the spider will continuously lob poison at you, as well as unleash a bunch of spider minions. As it opens its eyes to attack, you got it, flash it with your torch. Grab the web ball and pull it back, this time heading to the lunging knight. The knight will impale the ball of web, and now you have to ignite it. Use the blower function on the fan while avoiding the poison, and it will ignite on one side, spin to the other, and ignite the fuse. Once again, the fire will knock the spider down, the ghost will shield and charge, flash it, suck it up, and start running to avoid the spider’s charge. Onto Phase 3!
Phase 3:
We are almost there! The spider will yet again smash through a wall and add some new obstacles into the mix. Head towards the spider, this time grabbing the loose ball of web to the right, head all the way back to the first torch knight. Ignite the web and run back towards the spider, your target will be the knight to the left of the screen! Watch out for the falling pillars, ignite the web encasing the knight, which will drop a torch. Move close to the spider, flash when it opens its eyes, and grab the web underneath it. Ignite it by using the freshly freed torch knight, the spider will fall for the last time. Avoid the ghost as it shields and charges, then flash him, and use the Poltergust to capture it for the final time!
