Template:Location-infobox The Water Vellumental Shrine is a location in Paper Mario: The Origami King, a shrine found on Autumn Mountain dedicated to the Water Vellumental, who is fought at the end. As such, most of the temple is water-themed, with a couple of sliding tile puzzles along the way.

There are two tiles in front of the closed doors to the shrine, each requiring someone to stand on them. Mario must find Bob-omb down in Chestnut Valley and bring him to the temple, allowing them to enter. However, Bob-omb decides to wait outside for them, claiming he is exhausted from standing on the switch, not really wanting to enter the temple.

As soon as they enter the temple, Olivia notes the large stone dragon in back representing the Water Vellumental. After Mario finishes both of the sliding tile puzzles in the surrounding rooms, the head is jerked open, allowing them to enter the area where the Water Vellumental is fought. When Mario steps into the arena, the surrounding water starts to swirl about, causing the bridge to sink, preventing escape.

The Water Vellumental appears, also corrupted by the power of origami. Like the Earth Vellumental, Mario must defeat the Water Vellumental to obtain a Bibliofold teaching Olivia the powers of the Vellumental. This gives her the power to fill herself to the brim with water, allowing them to e

One of the four towers is located in northwestern territory of this desert. Additionally, the Sun Altar is in the northeast region, with a village ruins area to be found southwest. To the right of the ruins is a hidden area, where the door to a coffee shop can be found. Inside, Mario can order a "Mega Tasty Coffee" from a Sledge Bro for 100 coins. Doing so triggers a cutscene in which a depressed Mini Goomba orders another cup, the contents of which are quickly drunk by a hoard of other Mini Goombas.

There is a special pipe shortly southwest of the altar which can be used as a shortcut to the other universal pipes. On the west end of the kingdom is a small ledge with the door to the green Sensor Lab. Notably, in the southwest edge of the desert is a ring of rocks. Mario can have Professor Toad dig in the center of them to recover a Shriveled MAX UP Heart. Mario can bring this item to the spring in Whispering Woods to turn it into a regular MAX UP Heart, giving him 5 additional HP.

There are several small spots of light throughout the desert and its surrounding areas. After Professor Toad is rescued, Mario can have him dig in any of these spots to reveal an abundance of coins, or perhaps a collectible treasure. These spots remain after the desert is restored to its original state. If Mario leaves the desert, the professor does not follow him. However, Mario can return at any time and have the professor join him until he leaves again. After the sun is restored to the sky, the entire desert lights up in addition to revealing a set of stairs beneath the altar. These stairs lead to a freezer where Captain T. Ode is trapped in a large chunk of ice. After he is rescued, he requests they take him to his submarine in the museum and set out to The Great Sea in search of the next streamer.
