It seems like every time you turn around in Luigi’s Mansion 3 you get trapped. Sure, you get to explore a haunted hotel by moving up each floor using an elevator, but once you’re on that floor Luigi can never seem to stay free for very long. One such case happens on the 6th floor as you wander a creepy dungeon of sorts. After working your way through various rooms you end up next to a jail cell, and finally inside the jail cell. Spikes work their way toward Luigi with no apparent way out…but of course there is one. Here’s how to get out of the jail cell in Luigi’s Mansion 3.

How to Get Out of the Jail Cell

The jail cell, or dungeon, requires you to vacuum a pull rope to the side, but now that Luigi is inside, how can you take care of this. The clock is ticking, so you likely aren’t thinking completely straight. The answer, of course, is to use Gooigi. You would have used him to get Luigi into the jail cell as well, sucking up the pulley with his Poltergust before swapping characters and heading inside. Now that Luigi himself is stuck inside, it’s Gooigi’s job to get him out before the spikes close in.

There’s two ghosts standing guard outside, so be ready to fight them quickly. Once you dispatch them just head back to the pull rope and do exactly what you did before. The clock will keep ticking as you do, so act fast; Luigi’s life depends on it. If you’re quick enough the gate will slide open, you can click the right thumbstick to switch back to Luigi and step out in the nick of time.

And that’s how to get out of the jail cell in Luigi’s Mansion 3.
