Luigi's Mansion 3 Boos are all over the place but will take some time to hunt down as they won't appear until after a floor is cleared in Luigi's Mansion 3. The Boos you can catch won't actually appear until you've beaten a boss and returned a button to the elevator. Once that's done though you can come back at any time to do a little special ghost hunting and find all the Luigi's Mansion 3 Boos.

The world of Mario and Luigi and Boos go way back in the series and this guide to all the Boos in Luigi's Mansion 3 will help you find them all When you do go back to a completed area, your controller will rumble as you get closer to wherever the Boo is, so follow that rumble and you should be right next to one. Somewhere. They hide in places like barrels, baskets, drawers, and other containers. They also move around, so if you choose the wrong place in one room the Boo will run off into a different room and you'll have to hunt them down again. You can also purchase Boo locators from Professor E. Gadd if you feel so inclined, but if you want to skip that step then look no further than all the Luigi's Mansion 3 Boos locations listed right here.
