The '''Secret Altar''' is the final room in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and its [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|remake]]. It is found in Area Four and is where the game's final boss, [[King Boo]], resides. After [[Luigi]] retrieves the spade key in [[The Artist's Studio]], he accesses the Secret Altar and defeats King Boo.


[[Luigi|Luigi's]] Key retrieved in [[The Artist's Studio]] allowed him to gain entry past the forcefield guarding the Secret Altar. Stepping inside the shiny, golden room, Luigi found King Boo, staring forlornly at a painting of [[Mario]]. This was no mere painting, however, as the red-clad plumber himself was trapped inside. As Luigi approached, King Boo launched into a long speech about the two brothers. How Mario caused him so much trouble in the past, and how Luigi vacuumed up all his friends and minions into his [[Poltergust 3000|vacuum]]. King Boo tells Luigi that he is not afraid of the ghost hunter, only the Poltergust 3000 he carries on his back. His final threat is for Luigi to join his brother inside the painting. King Boo transforms Mario's painting into a painting of [[Bowser]], which he flies into. The Bowser painting inhales Luigi and the green-garbed ghostbuster finds himself on the roof of the Mansion, staring down King Boo inside the reanimated body of Bowser. King Boo attacked Luigi with many attacks.
==Description==
The Secret Altar contains three chandeliers, one of which holds a [[Stone (Luigi's Mansion)|Blue Stone]]. On the west wall is a stone lion's head on the other side of which is the [[Bottom of the Well]] (which is where the player first sees the room). On the east wall is a [[Mirror (object)|mirror]] flanked by two torches burning with incense. If Luigi vacuums the incense, one torch gives him [[Bill|money]], and one torch gives him a [[Gold Bar|gold bar]]. Two similar torches are found at the rear of the room on either side of [[Mario's Painting|Mario's painting]]. These and the two chandeliers near King Boo can be vacuumed, but they do not yield anything.

Luigi noticed a fatal flaw in King Boo's attack pattern: his bombs. Attaching one of these giant explosives to the Poltergust 3000's nozzle, Luigi aimed and fired at Bowser's head. This blew the head clean off and forced King Boo out into  the open. Luigi could begin whittling away at his monstrous 500 HP, while avoiding the Bowser head's ice attacks. King Boo would eventually break free and retreat back into the safety of Bowser's body, and the head would reattach itself. The process then repeated.
 
When Luigi drained King Boo's health to less than 200, the ghost started putting his head on backwards. This caused him to go on a small rampage, destroying anything in his path. Eventually, he would turn the head right-side up, and the battle would continue normally.
 
After a few rounds, Luigi completely depleted King Boo of energy and the leader of the Boos was sucked into Luigi's trusty vacuum cleaner. His crown (a red jewel worth the same as a single coin) became Luigi's, and the Bowser body fell in two pieces, unable to move without King Boo's guidance. Luigi was warped back to the Secret Altar, where he finally recovered Mario's painting to return his brother to his former self.


The Secret Altar contains three chandeliers, one of which holds a Blue Jewel. On the west wall is a stone lion's head on the other side of which is the [[Bottom of the Well]]. On the east wall is a mirror flanked by two torches burning with incense. If Luigi vacuums the incense, one torch will give him money, and one torch will give him some gold.

The Secret Altar is the final room in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. It is found in Area Four and is where the game's final boss, King Boo, resides. After Luigi retrieves the spade key in The Artist's Studio, he accesses the Secret Altar and defeats King Boo.

Description[edit]

The Secret Altar contains three chandeliers, one of which holds a Blue Stone. On the west wall is a stone lion's head on the other side of which is the Bottom of the Well (which is where the player first sees the room). On the east wall is a mirror flanked by two torches burning with incense. If Luigi vacuums the incense, one torch gives him money, and one torch gives him a gold bar. Two similar torches are found at the rear of the room on either side of Mario's painting. These and the two chandeliers near King Boo can be vacuumed, but they do not yield anything.

Trivia[edit]

  • The hallway to the altar appears straight on the map, but it actually zig-zags in game. This is the only room in the game that does this.
  • If the first-person mode on the Game Boy Horror is used in the Bottom of the Well to scan the mirror, it will warp Luigi to the Foyer as usual, but with a couple of minor visual and audio glitches occurring.
  • If the player views the room from the Bottom of the Well after they have already viewed it once, a shorter version of the cutscene without dialogue will play. If the player does this during the blackout, the same thing will happen again but the lights would go from off to on and King Boo will be absent.
  • This is the only room in the mansion that visibly cannot be seen colored on the map when complete.
