The '''Secret Altar''' (Japanese: 秘密の祭壇 ''Secret Altar'') is the final room in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. 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==
If the player looks at the Secret Altar from  the Bottom of the Well a second time onward, a shorter version of the cutscene without dialogue plays. During the [[blackout]], doing this causes the lights to erroneously go from off to on and with [[King Boo]] absent.
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 (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.

==Trivia==
*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 (Luigi's Mansion)|Foyer]] as usual, but with a couple of minor visual and audio glitches occurring.
*During the [[blackout]], if the player views the Secret Altar from the outside, the cutscene will play again, but there will be no dialogue and [[King Boo]] will be absent. The lights will also be off.

The Secret Altar is the last room of Area Four, let alone Luigi's Mansion and its remake. It can be unlocked with the spade key obtained from The Artist's Studio. The Secret Altar has three chandeliers, one of which has a Blue Stone. A stone lion's head is on the west wall, and behind it is the Bottom of the Well, which is where Luigi first sees the room. On the east wall is a mirror flanked by two torches, both of which release treasure. The mirror functions as usual but causes a few minor visual and audio glitches. Mario's painting is at the end of the room, also with a torch on each side. The Secret Altar is the only room that visibly cannot be seen colored on the map when complete.

If the player looks at the Secret Altar from the Bottom of the Well a second time onward, a shorter version of the cutscene without dialogue plays. During the blackout, doing this causes the lights to erroneously go from off to on and with King Boo absent.
