Diamond Island

Paper Mario: The Origami King guide hub

Force test

The diamond island is located under water right in the middle of the four islands Heart, Spades, Cross and Full Moon (position D3). Dive there to find the entrance to the island. However, the gate can only be opened with the diamond key, which you previously get on Mushroom Island.Mushroom Island

On the island, three trials await you. Each of them rewards you with a bullet, which is needed later for the further course of the story.

The test of force takes place in the red building on the left side of the island. Activate the folding circle and call the Earth Vellumental to lower and enter the building.

Inside, you start the test on the luminous platform.

In three stages you have to master different tasks:

  • Stage 1: Destroy all blocks within time with jump attacks.
  • Stage 2: Remove the blocks with the hammer. If possible, hit the middle blocks so that the attack wave destroys several at the same time.
  • Stage 3: Hit the big nail completely in the ground with jump or hammer attacks.

After successful completion, you will receive the power ball.

In order to complete the further exams, however, you first need the ability of the Ice Vellumental. Next, head to Ice Vellumental Mountain.Ice Vellumental Mountain


The test of wisdom

The Test of Wisdom is located in the blue building in the middle of Diamond Island. Use the folding circle and call the Ice Vellumental to freeze the water around the building. This allows you to walk across the ice to the entrance.

Here you have to solve three problems.

First task

Several statements about your adventures so far will be read out. Decide whether they are right or wrong.

  • You have destroyed three air snakes so far. RIGHT
  • Four bullets opened the Earth Vellumental Temple. RIGHT
  • The boat tour ends at Autumn Mountain. FALSE
  • The wall drawings in the Overlook Tower show mushrooms and an Apple. FALSE
  • Captain Teaud’s submarine is called „The Princess Peach“. FALSE

Second task

Then there are logic questions.

  • The Overlook Mountain has the same number of ascending and descending slopes. RIGHT
  • Who overtakes the sixth, fifth and fourth runner, is third. FALSE
  • Twelve people on the bus – five get off – seven remain. FALSE
  • A drum iron is heavier than a drum wool. FALSE
  • The theater is the largest place in Shogun Studios. FALSE

Third task

Here you have to find out which character is lying.

The liar is always the character accused twice. Analyze the statements of the three figures.

Example:

  • A says, “I am not the liar.” (accused B and C)
  • B says, „A is the liar.“ (accused A)
  • C says, „B is the liar.“ (accused B)

Since B is accused twice, B is the liar.

After successful completion, you will receive the wisdom ball.


Testing courage

The final challenge is the test of courage. It is located in the green building on the right side of the island.

First activates the folding circle and calls the Water Vellumental to flood the ring around the building. Then you use the Ice Vellumental again so that the water freezes and you can enter the building.

The test shall consist of three rounds. Large objects fall off the blanket.

With the A button you can grab a rope to stop the object. However, the right timing is important: You have to wait until the object is very close above your head. If you reach too early, the attempt is considered to have failed.

If you pass all three rounds, you get the courage ball.

Once you have collected all three balls, you can continue your journey to the Sea Tower.Sea Tower
