Ghost's heart
The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors.
If an acceptable name is found, then the article should be moved to the new title.
- “Remember, as soon as you see a ghost's heart, that's your chance to vacuum 'em up!”
- —Professor E. Gadd, Luigi's Mansion
Ghosts' hearts are what serve as the HP of the ghosts in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. When the player flashes Luigi's flashlight on a ghost, it gets stunned and shows its heart for some time. The player can then suck the ghost up in the Poltergust 3000 while its heart is revealed. If an element protects a ghost's heart, Luigi must first use the element's weakness to expose the heart.
Portrait ghosts are harder to catch as they do not show their hearts as easily. The player needs to find a way to make their hearts vulnerable so that they can be sucked into the Poltergust 3000. Unlike standard Ghosts, their hearts can be scanned with the Game Boy Horror, which often reveals clues about how to capture them.
Boos do not contain hearts at all, and can be vacuumed once the moment they are exposed.
