'''E-4: Ambush Maneuver''' ('''Ambush Manoeuvre''' in Europe and Australia) is the fourth mission of [[Treacherous Mansion]] in the game ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. This mission is notable for being the only mission in the game that is a boss mission, but the boss does not give a [[Dark Moon]] piece.

[[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]] tells [[Luigi]] that he was able to hook up the [[Pixelator]] to the tiny camera found inside the miniature train model seen in the [[E-3: A Train to Catch|previous mission]]. The professor also says that the [[List of implied items#Parascope|Parascope]] is detecting major paranormal signals in the [[Train Exhibit]], where the train model was, and is almost certain that it is [[King Boo]]. He mentions that if Luigi surprises King Boo, Luigi will easily overpower him and be able to rescue [[Mario]]. After a bit of a pep talk, Luigi is pixelated to the train model.

Line 15: Line 20:
In battle, the giant Boo has two attacks; jumping into the air three times while attempting to crush Luigi, and going slightly underground, sticking its head out, and ramming into Luigi. If the Boo fails to attack Luigi while it jumps or rams into the train when attempting to ram into Luigi, it will be stunned, and will be able to be attacked. When sucking up its tongue, Luigi must aim for the large drill at the front of the train, and if successful, the Boo will "pop", and every single Boo will be stunned. Alternatively, when the Boo performs its ramming attack, when it aims for Luigi, Luigi may simply walk towards the drill, and if aimed correctly, the Boo will ram right into the drill, and automatically "pop" without Luigi having to aim again. In this phase of the battle, Luigi must aim the Boos at the compartments inside the train; when aimed correctly, the Boo inside it will be unable to escape. After about a minute, the remaining Boos will combine once more and proceed to attack Luigi. Luigi must repeat his attacks until all 10 Boos are trapped in the train's compartments.

After defeating the giant Boo, E. Gadd, obviously surprised, calls Luigi and tells him that was definitely not King Boo, and after a short conversation, he teleports Luigi back, and the mission ends.
After defeating the giant Boo, E. Gadd, obviously surprised, calls Luigi and tells him that was definitely not King Boo, and after a short conversation, he teleports Luigi back, and the mission ends. After putting away the [[Dual Scream]], Luigi will look behind him gazing upon the many Boos trapped in the train. He then starts performing a dance mimicking a train, then poses while pointing both pointer fingers diagonally in the air.
 
To get a 3-star ranking on this level, the player needs to beat the level within 3 minutes 20 seconds with no damage or within 1 minute 20 seconds with 20 damage.
 
When Luigi returns to the [[Bunker]], E. Gadd talks to Luigi about their failed ambush maneuver and how they themselves got ambushed, but then changes the topic mentioning the Boos that were trapped in the train. He makes a slight adjustment to the Pixelator and sends all ten of them to the Boo Canister in the [[E. Gadd's Vault|vault]]. They then try to figure out how to stop King Boo from there.

==Trivia==
*The music that plays during the boss fight sounds a bit similar to the music that plays in Big Boo's Merry-go-Round in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', and is possibly a reference to it.
*Prior to completing the mission, it appears with the skull icon reserved for boss missions. After it is completed, though, the icon changes to read E-4.
