Once you get to 6th floor, Castle MacFrights, head to the right. Use Gooigi to move through the bars. Then have his vacuum and pull the spring so that the gate is held open for Luigi.

Castle Macfrights Gem #2

Continue forward and you’ll reach an entryway with a few knights in armor in both sides. Shine your Dark Light on the entryway that’s in the back right to reveal another set of knight armor.

Use the suction shot to slam this and reveal a gem.

Head through the door and a brief cutscene will play. But ultimately head through the door on your left.

Here, you’ll encounter a few ghosts. Fight them off.

Castle Macfrights Gem #5

Use the suction shot and pull on the suspicious-looking brick.

This will reveal a secret area with a treasure chest. Inside is another gem.

Cross the spikes

Continue moving to the left and down the stairs until you reach the final row of spikes. Use Gooigi to cross the spikes and have Gooigi vacuum and pull the rope, lowering the spikes so Luigi can cross safely.

Open the barrel in the middle by using your suction shot and a pull. This will reveal the gold key you need.

Watch out for the ghosts with the shield. To remove the shield, use the suction shot and pull. Once the shield is gone you can stun and capture the ghosts with ease.

Castle MacFrights Gem #3

Look through the crack in the standing barrel to get a sense of where you’re about to go.

Open the barrel on the right using your suction shot. Enter the barrel and walk to the right, then walk up the ladder.

Once you reach the top of the ladder, grab the gem.

Go to the next room. Use Gooigi to cross the spikes and pull the rope. This will open a door in the floor.

Dragon web puzzle

Dropdown into the floor and you’ll see a dragon next to a web. You’ll need to figure out a way to get past it.

Burn the web by vacuuming up the torch on the ground (off to the right). Stand in front of the dragon’s mouth with the torch. Summon Gooigi to flash the blinking green light with the Stobulb.

This will cause the dragon’s flames to light the torch.

Walk the torch to the spider web.

Walk to the dragon’s tail and then to the right. It’s hard to see but the path is there.

Finally, go up the ladder and exit the room.

Elevator cage puzzle

You’ll need to figure out a way to take the elevator down to the next floor. Summon Gooigi and have him use the poltergust to bring the elevator up.

Have Luigi get into the elevator.

Then have Gooigi move the fan in the opposite direction so that the elevator will move to the bottom.

Summon Gooigi down to the bottom floor.

Castle MacFrights Gem #6

Blow the fan on the wall on the left so that the cage is lowered.

Have Gooigi enter the cage to get the gem.

Get Past the Archers for a Golden Key

The door on the left requires a key so take the door on the right first. You can reveal it by shining your Dark Light on it.

Enter the room and you’ll see some enemies with crossbows. Don’t try to walk in front of them!

Instead, start by vacuuming and pulling the cord.

Have Gooigi walk across because the bows won’t hurt him. When you get across as Gooigi you can pull the cord to bring down the wooden casing onto the archers.

Now Luigi can walk across the water, open the chest, and get the key.

Use your key on the door.

Get the golden key behind the cage

Use Gooigi to pull the rope on the left side of the room.

Then, have Luigi walk into the caged off area to get the key. He’s the only one who can do this because Gooigi dissolves.

Suddenly, ghosts will ambush Gooigi capture them and then run back to pull the rope so you can open the door before the spiked walls crush Luigi.

Wooden bridge puzzle

In the next room, move towards the camera and vacuum/pull the rope to reveal a fan.

Vacuum the fan until the right bridge can no longer move and the left bridge is one move after the correct placement. Then blow the fan to reverse it

Cross the bridge but watch out for the swinging axes.

Crossbowers and carts puzzle

In the next room, you’ll see some more enemies with crossbows ready to shoot you down. Walk to the right, up the stairs, and you’ll see a cart.

Blow on the cart’s wheels (ZL) to push the cart forward.

Have Gooigi walk to the left, through the crossbow fires. You’ll see just a set of wheels. Use the Dark Light to make the cart appear.

Blow on the cart’s wheels to push the cart forward.

Now that both carts are completely covering the crossbow fire Luigi can walk safely across.

Head through the door. Watch out for the set of swinging axes and continue down the hall to get to the boss battle.

Castle MacFrights #4

You’ll pass a banner, some missing stones in the wall, another 2 banners, and a mysterious set of bricks. Shine your Dark Light on it to reveal a door.

Head through the door and you’ll enter the secret stash which will give you another gem and some serious coin.

How to Defeat Knight MacFright

Knight MacFright is ready to rumble but he doesn’t have many attacks. Here’s how you can defeat him.

Break his armor

Knight MacFright will loop around you (avoid him). When he charges towards you his head pop above his armor. Flash him with the Stobulb.

Once you hit him with your light, he’ll retreat into his armor like a frightened turtle. Walk up to him and use your suction shot to vacuum and slam him.

Watch out for the arrows that will fire out of the back wall.

Repeat this 3 times and you’ll be able to face Knight MacFright head-on.

Capture MacFright

Similar to the chef boss from the Mezzanine, Knight MacFright will run and spin towards you.

Wait for him to tire himself out. His shield will get stuck in the ground for a second. Stun him with the Stobulb and vacuum him up.

Repeat this until he’s captured.

Install the Button in the Elevator

Head up the stairs to easily make your way back to the elevator.

Castle MacFright Gem #1

On your way to the exit you’ll pass two suits of armor. The second one you pass (after the treasure chest) is holding popcorn and a gem!

Suck the gem up to collect it.

Continue to the front gate. Once again, you’ll have to use Gooigi to pull open the gate and then walk to the elevator. Install the button and take the elevator to the 7th floor for the Garden Suites.
