E. Gadd's Vault
- “I'll send all the ghosts and trinkets you collect during your adventure down the Vault for safekeeping. Check 'em out, sonny!”
- —Professor Elvin Gadd, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
E. Gadd's Vault, also known as the Vault, is an area in Professor E. Gadd's Bunker in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. It is available after completing the first mission in the main story mode for the first time. Here, the player can view all of their stats in the game. The amount of gold the player has obtained will be shown on a computer monitor in the background while selecting a unit. The rising floor panel lifts Luigi back to the Bunker.
The player can earn an E. Gadd medal on their file if they complete the entire Vault: this includes collecting every gem, Boo, Poltergust upgrade, and capturing every normal and boss ghost from Evershade Valley and ScareScraper at least once.
Features
Ghost Container
The Ghost Container provides research information on all the ghosts Luigi has captured as well as showing a 3D model of each ghost. It also shows the highest W (Spectral Mass measurement) of the highlighted ghost the player has ever caught, along with the number caught. The number caught will never rise above 99 no matter how many of the ghost have been caught.
The Ghost Container is similar to the Containment Unit used by the Ghostbusters.
