Overset Possessor
The Overset Possessor is the third boss Luigi faces in the Nintendo 3DS game Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. He is fought on the Old Clockworks's Belfry where he has taken over the large Belfry Clock. Luigi sees the Overset Possessor when he first arrives at the Old Clockworks. Professor E. Gadd tells Luigi that major parascope readings are coming from the top of the factory and that he must go investigate the scene.
Appearance
The clock that the Overset Possessor takes control of is a large cuckoo clock. The stone clock face serves as the floor while the cuckoo chamber towers above. The clock hands can impede and hurt Luigi.
Outside of the clock, the Overset Possessor looks like any other Possessor: thin and white. However, this Possessor has three horns, two ram-like horns in the back of his head and one curved one in the front.
Battle
During this battle, the type of attack is determined by the time that the clock is on. Instead of fighting directly, however, several different ghosts will be summoned in accordance to the time. The clock hands will move quickly and hit Luigi if he is in their path. The only way to avoid this attack is by standing at the edge of the clock face. There are a total of nine different attacks the Overset Possessor can do while in the clock:
- 1:00 - One Greenie
- 2:00 - Three Greenies
- 3:00 - Five Greenies
- 4:00 - Two Slammers
- 5:00 - Ten Beetles
- 6:00 - Three Sneakers
- 7:00 - Three Greenies with shields and hammers
- 8:00 - Three Mummified Greenies
- 9:00 - Fifteen Beetles
- 10:00 - Five Creepers
- 11:00 - Eleven Robot Bombs
- 12:00 - One Greenie, two Robot Bombs, one Sneaker, five Beetles, and one Slammer
After each attack, the clock hands will glow red and rapidly spin to the nearest hour. If Luigi is hit by the red hands, he will be burned and momentarily stunned while he tries to put out the flames. Starting at 9:00, the clock's hands will always be engulfed in flames.
After every fourth hour (4:00, 8:00, and 12:00), the Overset Possessor will pop out of the cuckoo chamber and attempt to ram into Luigi. While this is happening, the clock will rotate in two different directions while the clock hands try to trap Luigi so he can get hit. After four rams, the Overset Possessor will be stunned.
If Luigi cannot defeat the set of ghosts before the hour hand completes another rotation, all the ghosts will respawn and he must attempt that set of ghosts again. However, he can use his Poltergust to quite literally turn back the hands of time to prevent this.

Ghost Container Description
To protect the Dark Moon piece within him, he possessed the huge clock face at the top of the tower and called on hordes of ghosts to help him out. A battle to remember!
