Life Mushroom! Quest Objectives

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Get a Life Mushroom
Get a Life Mushroom.
2
Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Give a Life Shroom to the Puni Elder
Deliver the Life Mushroom to the Puni Elder in the Great Tree at Boggly Woods.

Give a Life Mushroom to the Puni Elder

Once you have a Life Mushroom in your inventory, all you have to do is go to the Great Tree in Boggly Woods and give it to the Puni Elder.

How to Get a Life Shroom

Life Shroom Location How to Get
Hooktail Castle Pick up from a platform below the room where you first meet Ms. Mowz
Westside Goods,
Western Rogueport		 Buy for 50 Coins
Twilight Shop,
Twilight Town		 Buy for 40 Coins
Any Item Shop Earn 150 Shop Points

You can obtain a Life Mushroom from Hooktail Castle for free. It is located on the same platform that Koopook stays on in the Try to Find Me! Trouble Center quest. However, take note that this item may have already been used if you picked it up early on.

A Life Shroom can also be obtained early from Westside Goods, the item shop in western Rogueport. It can be purchased for 50 coins here, but this area is only accessible after you get Zess T. a new contact lens.

If you're doing this quest later on, it can be easily purchased at a cheaper price from the Twilight Town item shop for 40 coins after completing Chapter 4. It can also be obtained through late-game drops and rewarded upon earning 150 shop points.

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Trouble Center

Life Mushroom! from Puni Elder will appear at the Trouble Center once you complete Chapter 2. To activate this request, select it from the bulletin board at the Trouble Center.

All Chapter Walkthroughs

Accept From Trouble Center on the East Side of Rogueport

The quest must first be accepted from the Trouble Center bulletin board before you can do any of the steps to complete it.

To get to the Trouble Center, you must first get through Gus, the guard blocking the east side of Rogueport. You can either pay him coins every time you need to pass or defeat him in combat. Once Koops joins your party, defeating him becomes much easier.

50 Coins
