While B-Boss: Tree Topping looks daunting to attempt, you’re going to have to step up to the plate for this to make your way to the top and defeat theHarsh Possessor (Tree House Stairs).

The Eerie Staircase

There are three sets of stairs with only one of them being real. Your first attempt at theEerie Staircasewill result in you sliding back to the base, where you’ll have to face a Greenie, which is simple enough. After you’ve taken care of the ghost, notice how some of the torchlights aren’t lit up.While it might look like it hasn’t been rendered, they are actually your key to making it up the right set of stairs. You might not be able to pick out every single unlit torch from the bottom, but you’ll have an idea of where to go once you make your way back up.

No worries if you fall all the way down, once you’ve defeated the ghost, you’ll see that one of the three sets of stairs has their torches lit, signaling that it’s safe to go up. Take your time as you climb back to where you were before,since the unlit torches will reignite once you get closer to them. There isn’t much trial and error as you would expect given the extinguished torches that can be seen up ahead.Make sure to memorize which set of stairs to go up and how many real stairs you may see from your location.

Once you’ve made it to the top, prepare yourself for the boss battle. The boss itself isn’t difficult, but remember that if you die, you’ll have to start from the top (or bottom, in this case), so stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings. Make your way to theTree Houseand go to the stairs leading to it. You’ll soon be faced with theHarsh Possessor, who has taken disguise behind a living set ofTree House Stairs.

Here’s where to find all the Boos of Haunted Towers in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD.

Harsh Possessor (Tree House Stairs)

In the first phase, theTree House Stairsare slow, making planning easier to adjust to when it comes to dodging its running attacks.When it leaps into the air, look for its shadow on the ground to spot its location. Once it’s down,make your way to the back end of the stairs and find the rope hanging off from there. Pull the rope with the Poltergust 5000 until theHarsh Possessorreveals itself. Similarly toGloomy Manor’s boss battle, thePossessor will build a shield around itself and charge towards you. Since there are walls in the area, the ghost will eventually knock itself out, giving you the prime opportunity to vacuum up the Possessor.

The second and third phases will see the Tree House Stairs getting progressively faster and will start to shoot blue fire from its eyes. Like the first phase, be on the lookout for where it’s aiming and dodging accordingly. Pull the rope when it’s unconscious and drag the Possessor from of the stairs. After the third phase, you will finish off theHarsh Possessorand restore the stairs to their original glory.Go up those stairs without fear and grab the Dark Moon fragment!It’s time to go to the next location:Old Clockworks!
