The Ancient Poltergeist (known as Boffin Elder in British English versions) is a mini-boss Luigi fights in the Old Clockworks in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. After exploring the Tomb, Luigi finds the minute hand for the clock in the Clock Tower Gate, only to have it being taken away by the Ancient Poltergeist. After defeating him in the next mission, Luigi gets the minute hand back. Before being pixelated to the Old Clockworks in Mission C-3, Professor E. Gadd mentions that ghosts tend to gain power over time, and that this is the reason the Ancient Poltergeist has his name. This sub-boss has 100 HP, double that of regular Poltergeists.

The Ancient Poltergeist looks like a normal Poltergeist except he has a cobalt blue body and a cyan brain. He can be seen noisily practicing his telekinesis in the Roundhouse in the time before Luigi is able to reach him for the battle.
