Luigi first became acquainted with the Poltergust during the original Luigi's Mansion game. This model was called the Poltergust 3000. However, professor E. Gadd had some time to improve the device and came up with the Poltergust 5000 for the sequel, Luigi's Mansion 2, also known as Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD: Every Mansion, Ranked
With the release of Luigi's Mansion 2 HD on Nintendo Switch, the game's mansions have been given a fresh coat of paint for players to experience.
Gamers can use the Poltergust to suck up ghosts, but they can also use it to blow away objects and items. On top of this, its two attachments, the Strobulb and the Dark-Light Device, make it possible for Luigi to activate switches, stun ghosts, and see hidden items due to their light-related functions. Players can improve the mighty Poltergust 5000 in Luigi's Mansion 2, and this guide will explain how to do it and show them the available upgrades.
How to Upgrade the Poltergust 5000
Gold isn't just a collectible item to display in E. Gadd's vault or to determine player's ranking at the end of a quest; it actually has one very important feature: it's used to upgrade the Poltergust 5000 in Luigi's Mansion 2.
There are five upgrades for the Poltergust in Luigi's Mansion 2, and in order to be unlocked, gamers will have to gather thousands of gold. In total, players will need to collect 20,000G to get the final upgrade for the Poltergust 5000.
Gamers don't need to exclusively play the Dark Moon Quest to get more in Luigi's Mansion 2; money acquired in the ScareScraper game mode is taken to the vault and added to the player's total gold count.
