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 [[Roundhouse Brawl|next mission]], Luigi gets the minute hand back. Before being [[Pixelator|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. This sub-boss has 100 [[Heart Point|HP]], double that of regular [[Poltergeist]]s.

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 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.

==Ghost Container Description==
