The '''Ancient Poltergeist''' (known as '''Boffin Elder''' in British English versions) is a mini-boss [[Luigi]] fights in the [[Old Clockworks]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. After exploring the [[Tomb]], Luigi finds the minute hand for the clock in the [[Clock Tower Gate]], only to have it being taken away by the Ancient Poltergeist. After defeating him in the next mission, Luigi gets the minute hand back. Before being pixelated to the Old Clockworks in Mission C-3, [[Professor E. Gadd]] mentions that ghosts tend to gain power over time, and that this is the reason the Ancient Poltergeist has his name.


The Ancient Poltergeist looks like a normal [[Poltergeist]] except he has a cobalt blue body and a cyan brain. He can be seen noisily practicing his telekinesis in the Roundhouse in the time before Luigi is able to reach him for the battle.

==Abilities==
The Ancient Poltergeist looks like a normal [[Poltergeist]] except he has a blue body and a blue brain.
The Ancient Poltergeist has similar attacks to a normal [[Poltergeist]]. He can use his telekinetic powers to launch bricks at Luigi before or while being captured. The Ancient Poltergeist can create a dust devil in the middle of the arena, by hiding in the turntable, which sucks [[Luigi]] towards it. His other attack is to rotate the central platform of the arena to scatter exploding bombs from the surrounding boxes around the area. The Ancient Poltergeist will also summon [[Sneaker]]s to prevent [[Luigi]] from capturing him.

The Ancient Poltergeist basically attacks like a normal Poltergeist. He can use his telekinetic powers to launch bricks at Luigi. He can create a large, sandy tornado in the middle of the arena which sucks Luigi towards it as well as detonating any bombs nearby. Instead of creating clones of himself like Poltergeist, the Ancient Poltergeist will summon [[Sneaker]]s to distract Luigi.
