Can You Beat Luigi's Mansion 3 Without Collecting Any Money? - DPadGamer

Luigi's Mansion three is out and once more features Luigi attempting to overcome his fear of darkness ghosts spiders and general existence in order to save his friends from the clutches of King boo at least that's what the trailers for the game would lead you to believe but they miss out on one important thing money if there's one thing that the last resort hotel has more of than ghosts it's cold hard cash cleans bills golden statue things in almost every corner under every couch cushion seemingly inside of every breakable object is a load of moolah and that game expects you to collect all that money in order to get a good rank at the end of the game but what if we didn't in this video I'm gonna answer the question can you beat Luigi's Mansion 3 without collecting any money of course to do that I'll be spoiling the whole game so continue at your own risk that said the game starts off with Luigi Mario and Peach and their tree of toads on the way to the last resort hotel oh and also there's Poulter pup he's a good boy almost immediately things take a turn for the worst because it turns out that Luigi has once again fallen for a trap laid by ghosts this time led by hotel owner Helen gravely who is attempting to collect Luigi and his friends to appease good ol king boo after a brisk jog away from King Boo and a fall down a laundry chute the game starts proper in the basement it's here that we started to see all that dreaded cash tucked away under every nook and cranny as long as we're not tempted we can easily reach the garage cashless where we can obtain the Poltergust g00 this is the main tool Luigi has throughout the game so let me quickly cover its components like any good vacuum it can suck stuff up it can also blow air out to push items ghosts away if you press both trigger buttons simultaneously Luigi can perform a burst that briefly propels him into the air while sending out a large gust of wind in all directions the last of the features of the poltergeist is the strobe bulb or flashlight which is on by default but can be activated to charge a blinding flash a light to stun ghost and activate certain switches with that quick this we're all done we'll leave the garage where I'd like to quickly discuss how this game deals with game saves you see all you get is auto saves every time you move through a door or generally transition from one room to another the game will save itself always keeps your last two auto-saves as well as one autosave from the start of whatever part of the story you're in this is important because it means that someone trying to avoid all that cash for some reason like myself can simply quit out to the main menu and reload the last autosave whenever we goof up and collect money like for example all the stairs leading up from the basement there are some dollar bills here which act as a handy tutorial and learning a few things firstly the physics engine is a strange and mysterious beast which we can only begin to understand the other is that even allowing a few atoms of Luigi's clothing to come into contact as money is the same as stuffing it right into your pockets I don't think that makes sense but that's that and lastly there are two types of money in this game and it's important to know thy enemy there's spooky money which you'll find just sitting there these will henceforth be known as spook bucks spook bucks can be moved all around but they will not be sponsor only option is to avoid them at all costs the other type of money will encounter gets spawned in by destroying furniture opening chests and so on these will be known as scare coins I know it's a dumb name but you never know when scare coins might jump out so beware but much like the shock of a jump scare sitter coins will quickly fade away so that's always an option that said once reached lounge will go through a quick battle against some ghosts where the Poulter pup will bully us into taking out some of the ghosts with this lemon slam a ghost is a useful tool but it will also spawn and scare coins which should be avoided at all costs going forward I'm going to only touch on the key points of interest for the sake of brevity if there's rooms or ghost fights I don't mention assume we painstakingly avoided every bit of cash while defeating the ghost without using the slam because that's what I did recording this video to wait too many hours that said we get the key to the second floor of the lobby where we'll find professor egad trapped in a painting he can only be set free using another game mechanic called the dark light which is an attachment that lets Luigi reveal hidden objects as well as free objects from portraits after obtaining this from the second-floor storage room Poulter pup once again bullies Luigi into a tutorial where he has to use Donna painting full of money this of course spawns scare coins which attempt to attack Luigi while a stuck in his smug animation but I found that by simply active in the dark light and stepping away he could actually keep his wallet empty from there we save professor egad and escort him to the elevator where are we returned to the basement garage it's here that we have our first boss fight against steward the bellhop this game has a lot of interesting phosphates with unique mechanics but being a tutorial boss the bellhop is basically a slightly bigger ghost Solis pretty straightforward afterwards egad sets up its portable lab in the garage which will be mostly ignoring our first task is to take the elevator up to floor five are IP suites where we must recover egads briefcase which has been confiscated by chamber eeeh the maid our only way to take her out is to follow her from the room in a room and he's a newly obtained suction shot to grab hold of the briefcase and slam it in her until she runs out health this can be a bit annoying as all the rooms she goes into our full breakable objects but as long as we're cautious with how often and where we place the slams is pretty simple to avoid all that money also it's worth noting that this is where he can practice using the dark light to reveal ghostly traces of where the maid has been because you're gonna want to use this much later on with the game's multiple spooky hide-and-seek segments by the way that briefcase contained a special component that once added to Luigi's poltergeist allows him to spawn GUI gee a GUI version of Luigi that has less health and melts upon contact with water but is able to pass through pipes and certain barriers while he can't also collect money which can cause its own issues he'll be very handy throughout the run our next stop is 4-3 the hotel shops the boss here is crueler the security guard who has his button inside the office we have to use GUI G and a number of the shops keep swapping keys until we finally get the key to his office it's worth noting that inside the shop marked with the heart the possessed Spade he hides inside of a secret storage room that contains I think the largest stack of coins in the game this was the spooky sight and the run so far but it turns out that we're just a collection of scare coins hiding in plain sight you can very carefully blow away the coins bit by bit and before long little co C's will come running out with the shops behind us in the star key in hand we can finally interrupt crawlers lunch break and fight him head-on he does hide in two separate rooms so that you're required to ug against his water gun but as long as you just avoid that it's a pretty simple fight that button we got takes us to floor to the mezzanine where we follow Poulter pup into a dining hall it's here that we faced off against her first large group of ghosts without being able to freely slam it can be hard to deal with multiple ghosts at once however I eventually found that by simply stunning a ghost draining a little bit of itself and then letting go you could basically fend off a huge crowd without sacrificing your position this can be important when you don't want to get pulled into the edge of the arena where you pushed all those spook bucks from there we head directly into the kitchen where chef Sol Flay is burning some food after using both Luigi's to suck away the smoke were faced with a bus fight his pan block our straw bulb and it hits pretty hard but we can use the suction shot to grab hold and yank it away from there it's a pretty simple fight unlike with the previous buttons this time when Luigi goes to grab it a sneak your at you and sit from right in front of him our rat chase eventually leads us into a nearby lounge which has some golden spook bucks - sitting there menacingly nearby the pool table so watch out for those after a fight against some sneaky ghosts we have to yank down the leftmost Locker not the one in the middle though it's covering a cache of cash in my first attempt of this room I'm mistakenly pulled down the middle Locker and then the swing from the left Locker actually dislodged some scare coins which fluttered down onto Luigi during the ensuing animation it's very unfortunate so only the left Locker pulling that one does not create this issue our chase then leads to the bathrooms where gooey she has to move through a pipe into the adjacent room and then finally on a live the rats be careful though because each rat that gets flashed with the strobe bulb will burst into actual coins let's not think of the logic of how that works and just continue on on to the elevator on our way to our next destination egad interrupts us and ask Luigi to visit him down at the lab it's their leases by the way Luigi you must be getting pretty good at exploring the hotel am i right have you been sucking up stuff with the pole Jurgis g00 your pockets must be fit to bursting with all the money you picked up out there fret not I have the perfect solution to your cumbersome currency conundrum just give it all to me hehe so he opened up his very own shopping network where we can trade in all of the cash that we don't have for goods and services he does decide to quite literally throw us a bone for free it will basically revive Luigi once mid-battle but I ended up wasting it later in the playthrough so don't worry about that while we're here he'll also adjust the poltergeist g00 so that I can detect booze hiding throughout the hotel however those are completely optional so another minor spoiler since this is my only place to the game so far I've never actually seen a normal boo in this entire game with that detour taken care of we're off to floor four with this one we can basically head straight into the actual stage and start to fight against Amadeus wolf Geist the first phase of the fight has in lifting up seats from the floor and slamming them down towards Luigi there are scare cones that get left behind but as long as you stick to the pathways they'll be easily avoided until they do spawn there is also spook bug slang around which should be pushed into the corners of the room I'm realizing that these names are really really dumb but I'm sticking with it in the second phase a number of ballerina go skiing up in Luigi but they're pretty easily dispatched in the third phase he possesses his piano and reignites nightmares of big boos haunt from super mario 64 he can dish out some serious damage but otherwise it's a pretty straightforward fight from here on with the fight complete were able to free the red toad from his canvas prison and escort him to the elevator he'll go into the lab while we head up to 4/6 castle Nick writes as it happens this ended up being one of the most frustrating floors thus far it's all pretty simple fights and puzzles that require teamwork between Luigi and Luigi up until we reach the elevator cage room our level of this one we need the key to move forward so we got to use the darker light on a doorway on the right side to reveal the door which has three shiny spook books sitting right at its base it's worth noting that if you die and respond on a save where you're inside the next room you cannot exit without being forced to collect two of those coins that said flowing those aside and heading through we're faced with the puzzle work of we'd you must pull down the barrier to block the crossbowmen simple enough after that we cross a small stream and open a chest to get our key and we're also showered with scare coins ouch luckily I realized there was a strategy for situations like this if we as glue easy to open the chest we can match the right analog stick to return him to the poltergeist before the share of coins has a chance to touch him key in hand we head back through the kauffman door and face off against a pack of mini hammers which could be taken out Quinlan as long as you steer clear of the rats and nearby spook books from there it's a gauntlet of fights and puzzles until we reach the boss battle against king macwrite himself you see the only way to deal damage to his armor and horse is to blind him in charge and then uses a suction shot and sign him into the ground this spawn scare coins which absolutely love dancing into luigi as a results I spent absolutely way way way too long trying to come up with a consistent strategy to simultaneously take out the boss without collecting and equal aides or losing my own sanity I'll admit I was retried that spots for like an hour but here are some tips I picked up the boss always does laps around the arena and if you either stand in the corner or the center he will not touch you along with that while they seemed imposing at first the crossbow bolts fired from the northern side of the arena have a very limited angle I wish they can fire which means that most of the shots can be ignored by doing absolutely nothing for Luigi that seems quite fitting that said the trick I ended up using two of what coins was not too different from the chest before spawning GUI G running Luigi away and lending GUI to perform the slam and then immediately disappearing back into the poltergeist it's like ding dong ditching but with more science after every slam I hung out in the corner and saw all that cash be spawned rinse and repeat once things finally out of his armor and off his horse it's a pretty straightforward fight and we can get our button and move on from the castle our next stop is floor 7 Garden Suites and this one the bun is actually on display for Luigi as soon as he enters the main atrium but it's stolen by a plant the turning up the stairs through the various rooms isn't all that hard though I will note as a blooming sweet located in my second floor is a serious pain all of the flowers once flashed with a strobe will spit out cash towards Luigi even while being held as weapons by the goob that's their actual name by the way those blue guys their boobs with how obnoxious this room ended up being I let myself get resurrected by the cool of bone to just get it over with it's not a run ender but it would have been super handy to have in a later bosses which are much harder past that the only other spot worth noting is in the mushroom suite where there are a few spook bucks just laying and wait hoping that you'll bounce into them without noticing luckily Luigi can manipulate most objects through other objects neat as for the boss dr. Potter it's done basically as intended with a little worried our next stop is floor 8 paranormal productions this one has four different movie sets which Louie jeans navigate in order to retrieve the directors megaphone if for some godforsaken reason you want to do this run yourself save some headache and push away the gold sitting behind the castle sets TV in the main room for whatever reason Luigi will collect it when exiting the TV because hitboxes as for the sets getting the water into the bucket from the horse set is super simple but retrieving the torch from the castle is a serious pain you see there's a bunch of spook books just sitting there all around the torch since is a curved wall with the Obermann and navigate pushing away the cache and retrieving the torch requires a lot of care the camera angle does not help either from there assuming you already moved the gold behind the TV you can take the torch over to the fire set where there's a pretty straightforward fight and then on to the micro sets this one is surprisingly tricky if any of the packing peanuts come into contact with the torch poof they'll go up in flames and down comes a bunch of scary coins I carefully put the torch on the left side of the table open the box and walk the torch over avoiding the peanuts once you have the megaphone you're home free the director Morty will not attack Luigi but instead urge him to take part in a godzilla Escobar's fight there's no cashier so it's a very simple and fun fight afterwards he'll willingly give us the button and head into the editing room where he'll remain uncaptured because Morty is a good ghost who deserves to be free and that's a fact so as soon as reach the elevator to put the button in Holland Grave Lee's cat named Poulter kitty shows up and steals it the chase requires us to go through the fire sets as well as the blooming sweets on four seven and the eye view bathroom wall super obnoxious it's pretty simple to do cashless as for floor nine itself the UH Natural History Museum is literally just a boss fight a fun one at that some of the decorations will spit out cash when inevitably destroyed by ugh possessed dinosaur but that's really the only thing to worry about breaking the pattern the button we get takes us all the way down to basement to boiler works this is your Nintendo court-mandated water level which can be a bit annoying at time though the reproduction is very very CUTE there's a lot of spook bucks along the path that guca take but with enough diligence you can once more reach the boss absolutely broke Clem the mechanic is a neat fight which is also devoid of any money so it's easily done heading back up before 10 we have to mess we dis one you guessed it is a desert level it even has sand physics this one was pretty fun until it suddenly wasn't as it happens Nintendo made this pyramid tomb filled with traps an absolute nightmare but for the wrong reasons every spider if flash turns into money snakes it vacuumed up turns into money seemingly every grain of sand hides a wealth of treasure that rivaled even that of Fort Knox that said I did develop a few strategies first off in general it's always better to push the sand rather than actually sucking it up you see by pushing the sand you greatly reduce the chance of an errant coin getting vacuumed up while also doing the job or revealing whatever object that you're going for that said the snake chamber isn't too tough the skill chamber is a whole other story and this one there pile the treasure on both sides of the room as well as in the bowl where the treasure is Wade basically every object in this room is considered money except the faces and the golden cube thingies that we need to solve the puzzle that's seriously knowing still it's quite doable first order business is to clear the bowl where the weight difference between these small bits of treasure and the goal in cubes make separating them fairly easy as for the faces and cubes in the side I actually realize the sand physics can be friend as well as fo by pushing the sand pile towards the wall I was able to simultaneously they cover the smaller bits of treasure while creating a ramp for the cube to slide down as for the vases they can be moved into a safe place by using the suction shot and then very carefully slowly dragging them away with all the items in place in the book cleared solving the puzzle within the time limit is easy and we can leave the toys with a nice empty wallet and then there is the dual chamber this one is basically hell on earth at least it felt like it for the two hours I spent trying to succeed without collecting any money eventually I did but I didn't feel all that accomplished to be honest you see this room has you searching for six different gems hiding by the piles of sand which must be shot into place in the wall to stop the poison gas that leaks out the poison gas hurts Luigi every some-odd seconds which means that the time and Luigi's health is basically one and the same luckily there are a number of hearts hidden throughout the room but there's an even greater amount of gold down there as well it took a while but eventually I came up with a trick I'll call T Double Trouble push and pull or not because that's a dumb name either way basically I can drop goo easy who automatically be behind Luigi facing forward I then put Luigi in to push duty while I vacuum up the sand or Pole as GUI G it's not a perfect strategy but the Yugi who is doing the pushing is closer than the Luigi doing the pulling which means that the sand gets sucked up while the gold does not another strategy I found but didn't fully utilize in my successful run is that the trigger for the cutscene and thus the poison gas activating is just inside the room that means that if you're very careful you can nudge Luigi over the threshold over the room and suck away a considerable amount of sand before triggering the gas however this is super tedious to do on every single attempt which is why I eventually gave up on it with all that said let's get on to the successful strategy I used which is spinning yeah it's dumb but it works it's perfect for Luigi game with that and two hours of memorizing gem and the cold locations you get this stupid masterpiece of a run [Music] [Music] I feel like I deserve some sort of gold star after that one but obviously one with no monetary value the following fight in the main chamber and the boss fight against Serbs see sir Sir sir proceed I think it's her name whatever is challenging but very doable without touching any of those pesky coins as for floor 11 - twisted sweets is done basically as intended just taking care when fighting in close quarters the boss fight against Nikki Lindsay and Ginny is pretty fun mainly because there's no money to worry about also yes those are the ghost names because that's what the game told me onwards floor 12 is the spectral catch which is pretty short and there is of course catch the path forward is blocked by the bow of a ship in order to get through this we need to head back to the lab where we learn that one of the total ascends on the fetch quests and the boiler works where he merely got spooked [Music] after heading down in the boiler works and rescuing him from the clutches of a tall wall there is an escort mission to get back to the lab on foot with the gizmo in hand unfortunately this retread of the sewers are made especially painful because for some ridiculous reason they made it so that toad can collect money for you not just that but as AI is so annoying as he'll go running off the second it goes gets closed off and right into a piece of gold that you intentionally push as far away as possible I had to quit out to the main menu and retry so many times because of him I'm not better okay yes I am better anyways not just that but as soon as you break through this wall you have to send him up to collect the door handle when I did this he dropped down and sprinted right through the pile of trash collecting some money with his grubby little shoes luckily if you stand really close to where he lands he won't go anywhere also did I mention that you can suck him up and shoot him at stuff eventually I started carrying him like this for his own good he can't go running off when he can't run after turning in that gizmo - egad we gained the ability to use the absolute biggest song as long as we plug it into an outlet first thankfully when doing this on the ship blocking the path on 412 there's no money that comes out so we're free to continue in battle against captain fishhook without much trouble as there is lots of space and not a lot of money to worry about right after that fun time we head up to floor unlucky number 13 the fitness center and this one the boss is just utter each in the pool so we have to go through a series of rooms to reach him the lobby and locker room is wallet knowingly filled with ghosts and money is totally doable the weight room has two tough hammer goes that you have to fight but very little money laying around the training room is a little bit tricky you have to collect a key by running on one of the two treadmills but if you use Luigi you won't be able to get out of the way in time and in order to avoid all those scare coins but with GUI G doing a ding-dong-ditch it's much easier next door is the yoga room where you must either unroll or roll up two yoga mats in order to match the posters on the wall that's easily done opening up a hidden door to an exterior balcony here there's some spook books just sitting on the inside corner as well as a bunch of coins on the path with a bit of care you can cross the collapse and walk and reach the chest without issue we're opening it rewards us with a pearl right in the face also the key which auto-saves that's pretty annoying no worries I'll just reset and use Guji instead but those with keen eyes might have noticed that there's oddly placed puddles of water blocking the chest water melt squeegee so we can't reach the chest you might be starting to realize that this chest has a serious issue so I'll just come out and say it I spent the better half of an entire day trying to avoid this one single pearl I tried having Luigi standing still and hoping that the randomness of the pros trajectory would make it miss no luck I tried quickly moving in any direction to get away but Luigi stays in place for way too long to avoid it I tried spawning Ouija close by and either blowing or sucking away the power from Luigi but it's not affected by the vacuum until it's basically already touching Luigi I realize that you can spawn GUI G on the ledge of your position yourself correctly and I tried to have him grab the key as it spawned but before the pearl touched Luigi no luck I tried visiting Luigi just like so and absolutely mashing the interact button with Luigi as maybe there would be a few frames where you can open the chest before melting absolutely nothing I even found that the series of box like pillows in the yoga room can be painstakingly brought out onto the balcony and across the walkway a squeegee doesn't make the path collapsed using these I tried to either block Luigi which doesn't work or the pearl itself which also doesn't work because for some goddamn reason the pearl can roll through certain solid objects which includes the boxes I even tried using the boxes to get Luigi onto the ledge and then try spawning Luigi arms in the chest but it's still nothing as a last-ditch effort I even tried to very very carefully position the boxes to form a pathway for Kui g2 the chest the first box he touches after leaving the ledge is fine at the moment and of his cleanest moves over the space in between the boxes he melts I hate to say it but I don't think it's possible at least with my current knowledge the game has been out for just about a week at the time of making this video so it's very possible there's already been something found or something that will be found some sort of trick glitch exploit something that lets you voids pearl currently I think it's impossible but if you can figure out a way please tell me because as a state we can unfortunately ask the question can you beat Luigi's men 3 without collecting any money with a crestfallen no however that doesn't mean we can't still beat the game without having any money you see one mechanic I've yet to mention is that during combat every time Luigi takes damage some coins will pop out of him like some kind of blue hedgehog after giving up on avoiding the Pearl I immediately visited Castle McBride's Rai spends like 10 minutes repeatedly taking damage dying responding and doing over again until eventually I was broke before long we can head back up to the fitness center with cobwebs in her wallet and determination our hearts to see this champion because even if we can't beat the game without clay any money we can still beat the game without having any money luckily the room right after the curse chest is very doable without collecting any other money and the boss fight is equally as straightforward though I do think John and see Ben makes for a pretty lackluster fight anyways moving on the dance hall on 414 is just like the great stage at Museum one boss fight and you're done also the goob is actually dabit to start gross otherwise it's easily done without collecting any money finally we reached our final stop on this Tower of Terror 4:15 two master suites here we finally come face to screen with Helen gravely the owner of this lame hotel speaking of screen in order to move through the door and reach the next set of rooms we must raise the projector screen this is done by sending Luigi into the ISA maintenance room where he has to travel up a pipe and yank on a pulley I won't sugarcoat it this is one of the other spots where we cannot avoid any of the coins remember how I mentioned those weird hit boxes with the paranormal productions Castle TV same idea while GUI D are travelling through the pipe five of the coins that are close enough that you will always collect them unfortunately Luigi's poltergeist doesn't reach far enough to move them out of the way the suction shot doesn't do anything I even tried to boost in the sand physics in the nearby decoration pit thing to get Luigi high enough in an attempt to push the coins from all the way over there but I just couldn't get it to work much like with the affirmation pearl I'm sure some kind of trick will be found that makes this possible but for now I spent another trip down to cassimy crates to atone for my sins I'm sure that somewhere there's a bottle of Canadian barbecue sauce that just felt a disturbance in the force we actually get past the projector screen there's four separate rooms that we must navigate to collect the jeweled keys to open the path forwards to the fight against Helen gravely those rooms and subsequent ghost fights are all doable without collecting any money they're also very deadly because we're at the end of the game and it's suddenly surprisingly difficult at times Helen gravely herself makes for a wonderful boss fight as there's no coins bills or a little golden figurines to get in the way once she's defeated were able to really smart from his prison this would feel like a wholesome moment if it wasn't for the fact that seeing Luigi run around for this whole playthrough like a normal human being Mario speed and jumping this is oddly unsettling by comparison he also loves wonder this guy has anxiety still we follow him up the final leg of the journey which takes us to the very top of the last resort hotel it's here where a surprise surprise King Boo is all mad that would took his little ghost to boost ease and it's one final battle for all the marbles this boss fight is pretty difficult like in general with no money to our name and that one golden bone being wasted early in the run we have to go through all three phases of dying it's definitely doable I did it but extra care is needed in the final phase where those glorified spiked confetti balls can drop junk bombs as well as money with enough teamwork we can in fact make the dream work tikka King boot once and for all and all that's left is the jewel from his crown this seriously worried me since the first game forced you to pick up his crown which was worth 5000 gold luckily in the ensuing cutscene the jewel just puffs out of existence with that the hotels ruined their ghosts are homeless and I'm completely broke now bonded over a total lack of wealth Luigi's the ghost NiCad set out to making them a replacement hotel with all the money that I do not have now drumroll please well tranqs do we get for being the game well completely broke with zero dollars is it ranked a is it ranked B is that rank F surprise surprise its rank C okay sure why not it's a bit anticlimactic but there you go we have beaten the game without any money seeing as how I went into this run blind and made for a pretty fun challenge there were definitely some spots that made me want to pull out my hair but it definitely forced me to play the game in a unique way which i think is the goal also hopefully it made for an entertaining challenge video thank you so much for watching that said I'd also like to thank my channel members for being super awesome especially Christy countries for being a super fan that's about it for this one I'll see you in the next video [Music]
