Luigi's Mansion/Bosses/Bogmire
- Bogmire the cemetery shadow
Bogmire is the second boss of the game. A product of the mansion's fear and despair the purple monstrosity known as Bogmire has the ability to make his shadows come to life. Bogmire in appearance looks like a large purple blob with a gaint mouth and even larger teeth, Bogmire also has two mournful yellow eyes.
Finding Bogmire[edit | edit source]
Bogmire is found in the mansion's graveyard. You can't battle him until clearing the graveyard of the skeleton trio. Once there are no other ghosts you simply approach the glowing grave to battle him.
Catching Bogmire[edit | edit source]
Bogmire is very hard to catch - his pull is strong and he constantly teleports around the arena.
While you battle him Bogmire will send his shadows after you. However his shadows are also his weakness. To expose Bogmire's heart suck at a shadow until it becomes a large glob in your vacuum then shoot the shadow at Bogmire and suck him up.
The tricky part is that Bogmire's shadows serve as moving obstacles that, will not only lurch towards you but Bogmire (when in your vacuum lock) will try to drag you into them. To make this boss easier you should try to get rid of as many of his shadows as possible (to minimize the number attacking you) and also try cornering Bogmire so he can't run as far, this is difficult since the arena is perfectly round. Master using the C-stick controls to make this fight easier.
