Paper Mario: The Origami King (Switch)
Boss Battle Guide & List of All Bosses
This is a guide to all boss fights in Paper Mario: The Origami King for Nintendo Switch. Here you can find boss information and how to beat each boss. To learn more about the Vellumentals and Legion of Stationery bosses, read on!

Boss Battle Basics
Move Mario via a path over panels from the outside of the ring to the center
Unlike regular ring battles, Boss Battles involve moving the rings to make a path for Mario, who will move forward and land on an Action Panel or a Magic Circle to use his 1000-Fold Arms. Each boss must be attacked in a different way, and their weaknesses vary, so plot the best route and hit them where it hurts!
Ring Battles and Boss Battles | Ring-Based Battle System
The trick is to plot your path from the goal
For plotting the best course of movement for Mario, we recommend starting with the panel you'd like to end on, then working your way back. If you want Mario to attack on a turn, your objective will be simply finding an Action Panel, and linking Mario to it via the arrows.
Exposing each boss's weakness is also important
Each boss has a weakness that can be exploited. In the Colored Pencils battle, using the 1000-Fold Arms from behind, or the Hammer from a space directly behind, will cause the boss's lid to close, and it will fire upon itself, dealing massive damage. To make the easiest work of each boss, try and find out their weak point (more often than not, it involves use of Magic Panels!).

What are Vellumentals?
Elemental Gods guarding various temples
There is a god for each element: Earth, Water, Fire, Ice. They function as the bosses of each temple/shrine you visit.
Borrowing the Vellumentals' power
After defeating each Vellumental, Olivia will learn how they were folded and become able to harness their abilities. This will have an effect in other boss battles and regular battles, and will allow you to go to other stages.
