The Old Clockworks is the third location that Luigi visits in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. A Dark Moon piece is in the highest point of the clocktower. As its name indicates, this factory is fairly clockwork-themed, featuring various mechanical rooms. It also has somewhat of a desert theme, as its location features a lot of sand, as does the mansion itself. This is where Luigi can find a yellow Toad assistant. It is also shown here that several Boos save the Toad from a long fall, before sticking him in a painting.

History

The Old Clockworks originally produced, according to E. Gadd, the finest watches and clocks long ago. The factory itself is the oldest of the mansions as it is the Evershade Valley's ghosts' favorite haunt. The factory was built on top of some ruins. The owners of the clockworks seemed interested in this as mining and excavation equipment can be found strewn about the ruins. There is also a stairway leading from the factory into the ruins. It is unknown why it closed down, but several jackets, coats, and hats can be found still on racks, and the large amount of equipment and crates left behind suggests something happened within the factory itself to cause it to be abandoned.

In-game description

This factory once produced the world's finest clocks and time-measurement devices. Your watch probably comes from here, and you don't even know it!

Missions

Mission	Description	Goal	Objectives
C-1: A Timely Entrance	Good news, Luigi. I've located the next Dark Moon piece. It's at the top of the Clock Tower. All you've gotta do is mosey on up there and grab it! What could go wrong?	The Parascope has located a Dark Moon piece at the top of the Clock Tower. Use the elevator behind the Clock Tower Gate to get there. The Clock Tower Gate is missing some parts! The ghosts that took the parts have been located, but you'll need a special compass to reach them. Search the Drafting Room for it!	Get to the Clock Tower Gate. Retrieve the special compass.
C-2: Underground Expedition/Underground Trek	The special compass revealed another path to the underground! Let's hope those ghosts didn't hide the clock hands too well.	Explore the underground section of the Old Clockworks, and retrieve the clock hands taken by the ghosts.	Find your way underground. Look for the missing clock hands.
C-3: Roundhouse Brawl	That ancient ghost ran off with the clock hands we're looking for. Thankfully, his strong paranormal signal made him easy to find!	E. Gadd has located the Ancient Poltergeist in the Roundhouse. Make your way there, and recover the clock hands that he took.	Find the Poltergeist in the Roundhouse. Recover the clock hands.
C-4: Play Catch/Ghosty in the Middle	Well, we've recovered the minute hand, but the hour hand is still missing. I've detected some signals in the Clockworks Court, so let's start our search there.	A ghostly dog took the hour hand and vanished into the Warehouse. Catch up to the dog before the ghosts do!	Chase the dog and get the hour hand.
C-5: Piece at Last	There's one last clock part we need to find before we can fix the Clock Tower Gate, and I think I know where it is!	A ghost has made off with the rotor, the last piece needed to open the Clock Tower Gate. Follow him and take it back! The rotor was taken into the Storage Room, which is locked. Look for E. Gadd's Toad assistant, and see if he can help.	Chase the ghost and get the rotor. Meet the Toad in the Synchronization Room. Lead the Toad to the Service Elevator.
Boss: Showtime/Show Time	We finally have everything we need to reach the top of the Clock Tower! But first, let's check the security image that the Toad brought with him.	Open the Clock Tower Gate, and get to the top of the Clock Tower. Then find and retrieve the Dark Moon piece.	Find and retrieve the Dark Moon piece.
Bonus: Outlandish Interruption	We've got a complication. There are paranormal signals in the Old Clockworks again! It's ghost-hunting time, sonny!	Ghosts are back in the Old Clockworks! Capture all the ghosts as soon as possible.	Capture all the ghosts as soon as possible!
