The Shaft is a room of the Secret Mine in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. It is accessible via the North Door in the Smuggler's Hideout or the revolving wall on the west side of the Coward's Chasm.
Description[]
The Shaft is a two-floored Room running between B2 and B3. The room mainly conists of a manually driven elevator that can be moved with a wheel on the west side, blown into the wheel to lower the elevator, and suck from the wheel to raise the elevator. The elevator has two gates, one on the south and one on the east, that open on B2 and B3 respectively. The shaft itself consists of many supports structures as well as gaps in the ice walls where ghosts can be seen carrying crystals. Near the bottom of the shaft itself is two compartments, the upper right one can be opened up by pulling on a chain further down to reveal a Gem. At the very bottom, on B3, there is a small segment outside of the shaft to the East with a wooden wall with a handle that can be twisted to spin the wall around to access the Coward's Chasm. The South door on B2 leads back to the Smuggler's Hideout.
In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon[]
When Luigi enters this room in Hit Rock Bottom, he must use the blow function on the Poltergust 5000 to spin the wheel on the left counterclockwise to move the elevator downwards to the bottom. Along the way, in the huge gaps in the wall, Luigi can spot a Greenie and two Slammers carrying Red Crystals from the Crystal Quarry to an unknown destination, presumably the Treacherous Mansion, though they cannot be captured or interacted with in any way. Slightly further down, Luigi can spot a Gold Greenie which can be captured for a good sum of Money. Close to the Bottom, Luigi can pull a chain to open up a compartment to reveal the Octagon Gem back up the shaft. Once Luigi completely eaches the bottom, he must turn the handle knob on the wooden wall to spin it around and enter the Coward's Chasm.
In Across the Chasm, this room serves no purpose except accessing the Coward's Chasm, the Deep Hall where the Boo can be found, and the Crystal Quarry which contains the E-Gate back to the Chalet, where the Chained Slammer is.
