Do you wanna build a fii~re? If so you've come to the right place! This is a guide on how to start the campfire in Paper Mario: The Origami King. The wood logs of the campfire in Whispering Woods are begging to be burned, and you get rewards to do so, so let's bring the heat!

How to Start the Fire

Defeat the Fire Vellumental

To light fire (campfire) in Whispering Woods, first you will need the help of the Fire Vellumental.

This fiery foe can be found in the Scorching Sandpaper Desert, after rescuing Professor Toad. Technically, this is enough to light fire, but that won't give any rewards on its own, so you will want to continue the story until you...

Get the Sea Chart and Find the Shell

To get a use out of the camfire at Whispering Woods, you also need the Sea Chart. To get it, you need to defeat Rubber Band and enter the Sun Altar in Scorching Sandpaper Desert.

After that, clear the fog on Bonehead Island, then set out to search for the Big Shell.
