Luigi's Mansion 3 presents players with a variety of themed floors, but the Unnatural History Museum and Coliseum setting of Floor 6 stands out as a memorable combat challenge. Confronting King MacFrights requires precise timing, proper positioning, and effective usage of Luigi's Poltergust G-00 upgrades. Mastering this encounter ensures smooth progression through the Last Resort hotel while acquiring key items needed to explore deeper levels.
Understanding King MacFrights' Attack Patterns
The Coliseum boss battle unfolds in an arena surrounded by eager ghost spectators. King MacFrights charges directly at Luigi while mounted on a armored ghost horse, holding a sharp jousting lance. Observing his charge visual cues allows you to dodge out of harm's way before setting up your counterattack.
During the initial phase, the boss will charge across the sand ring repeatedly. You must position Luigi near the outer wooden barriers so the charging boss impacts the structure. When his lance gets stuck in the wood, he becomes temporarily vulnerable to your flash light and suction attacks.
Step-by-Step Strategy to Defeat the Coliseum Boss
Wait for King MacFrights to initiate his charge, then quickly use the Strobulb flash when his armor opens up or when he becomes trapped. Once stunned, fire a Suction Shot plunger onto his chest shield to tear away his protective armor piece by piece. Repeat this cycle until his outer defense is completely destroyed and his spectral form is exposed.
In the final stage, King MacFrights fights on foot with a sword and shield, aggressively spinning toward Luigi. Dodge his wide swinging attacks until he tires himself out and becomes dizzy. Immediately shine the Strobulb to stun him, latch on with the Poltergust, and slam him repeatedly into the arena floor to drain his health points.
Rewards and Unlocks for Clearing Floor 6
Defeating King MacFrights yields valuable rewards that directly impact your overall progression in Luigi's Mansion 3. Upon his defeat, the ghost dissolves and drops the elevator button for Floor 7, the Garden Suites. Collecting this button opens up a vibrant new plant-filled environment filled with fresh puzzles and hidden collectibles.
In addition to the essential elevator button, defeating the Coliseum boss grants a generous sum of gold coins, bills, and pearls scattered across the arena sand. Clearing this floor also marks an important story milestone, bringing Luigi one step closer to rescuing his trapped friends from King Boo's clutches.
