Spring of Jungle Mist

Paper Mario: The Origami King guide hub

The right way through the jungle

After visiting three springs in Shangri-Spa, all you need is the source of the jungle to completely heal Bowser Jr. Use the white platform in the northwest of Shangri-Spa to get to the jungle.

Shortly before the source, however, the bridge collapses. So you have to find an alternative way through the jungle. Destroy the bush to the left of you and follow the hidden path.

At the first fork, Olivia and Magikoopa propose different paths. Listen to Magikoopa:

  • Correct: Magikoopa – left
  • Wrong: Olivia – right (leads to a dead end)

Shortly after, the next fork follows:

  • Wrong: Olivia – left
  • Correct: Magikoopa – right

Follow the path along the northern wall. Behind some lianas is a small cave entrance. Hit the lianas with the hammer to get in. There you will find a memory mini-game. If you make it, a folding circle appears, with which you can fetch a treasure mini from the tree.

A little later you reach a clearing with several piranha plants. Defeat the middle plant to get the folding circle back. With the folding arms you can remove the bark of a tree and thus expose a staircase up.


The path to the source

After climbing the stairs, you reach another intersection with three paths. Again, you should listen to Magikoopa and go to the left. The other trails lead directly to the Pappmacho chain dog and end in Game Over.

Shortly afterwards, the chain dog still appears behind you. Run quickly through the jungle until you finally land on the other side of the destroyed bridge.

In the big tree you discover a ladder, but it hangs too high. Turn the leaves in front of and behind you with the hammer so that a folding circle appears. With the folding arms pull down the ladder and climb upwards.

Above you will find some optional collectibles:

  • Multiple holes to patch
  • An invisible one? Block over an abyss
  • Another treasure mini

Then follow the right path. The chain dog reappears and you have to quickly walk to the next ladder. Run past the piranha plants to the left and swing to the source at the end of the path.


The Last Stamp

Arriving at the source of the jungle you notice that the water immediately drains off again. The plug is missing.

Go to the bushes behind the stamp stand in the northwest. Behind it leads a secret path to the back of the tree. Drag on the liana so that a folding circle appears.

With the folding arms you can hit the plug from the tree and then insert it into the basin. Now you can finally take the last bath and completely heal Bowser Jr.

However, Bowser Jr. stays in the water for too long and loses his paint. Still get the last stamp and leave the island over the Spike in the southwest.

How to give Bowser Jr. his paint back, you will find out in the next section of our complete solution.
