And I’m done! I’ve mopped up the final few shards, and done every single puzzle in the game.
It was a lot of fun too, and just messing around or trying to complete the puzzles the ‘wrong’ way never ceases to entertain.

Still working through all the remaining shards puzzles. I’ve about 60 left to do, having finished just over half of them.
I’m finding that while playing the main game I’ve accidentally being completing some of the object shard puzzles, which had made the sheer number of things left to do seem slightly less daunting. Or not. 60 is a lot.

Snowman bingo. What. I’ve built a few snowmen and got a bingo card and each day I can make the snowmen’s eyes spin and they give me a number and I stamp it and then what? What happens when I get bingo!?

I feel compelled to complete this 100%. Like properly 100%, with all the shards and stuff. So that’s what I’m doing!
I’ve been back to every level and done all the puzzles there, and now I have a million “object” shards. These are very simple, usually wordplay related, puzzles which can be completed anywhere. Like “Cat-Toast Paradox” where you have to create something that fits the two “rules” that cats always land on their feet, and toast always lands butter side down. Create a cat, combine it with some toast, and you get – obviously – a black hole.
I’ve about 200 of these left to get through!

PREVIOUSLY ON LUIGI’S MANSION 2!
Our hero had recovered all but one of the Dark Moon fragments, and had located the final piece – inside a giant portal on the roof of the final mansion. After defeating wave after wave of ghosts as they were ejected from the portal, he was sucked into the purple swirly and was confronted with a boss – several suits of armour followed by one massive suit of armour, who was impossible to defeat. Was this the end of our hero’s adventure? Will the Dark Moon ever be stitched back together? Just how many pairs of pants has Luigi gone through anyway?
AND NOW: THE CONCLUSION!
The giant suit of armour was actually really easy. I just needed to be careful and bide my time. After that, was the real final boss fight with King Boo (which isn’t really a spoiler as it’s obvious he’s the final boss before you even get to the end of the first mansion), which was alarmingly simple. Probably the easiest boss fight in the entire game, in fact, in part due to the many, many hearts thrown at you in the “side scrolling” sections of the battle.
And that’s it! Dark Moon restored, and the valley saved. For now.
