Super Mario Odyssey - Big Pot on the Volcano: Dive In! and Cimb Up the Cascading Magma

How to complete the Luncheon Kingdom objective.

Big Pot on the Volcano: Dive In! and Cimb Up the Cascading Magma are objectives you'll encounter after a fair bit of time with Super Mario Odyssey, which follow on from Super Mario Odyssey - Mount Volbono, The Broodals Are After Some Cookin'and Under the Cheese Rocks.

You'll find our full walkthrough for them here, whilst you can head back to our main Super Mario Odyssey guide, walkthrough and tips hub for plenty more on all aspects of the game!

Big Pot on the Volcano: Dive In!

On the newly risen platform, head to the left, avoid the tomato and use the platforms to reach the other side (being careful to jump over the Lava Bubbles). Turn right, take out the Hammer Bro, head up the large ramps, across the narrow walkway, then use the Volbonans to flick yourself to the top.

Hit the checkpoint (Meat Plateau), then possess the large chunk of meat. Press 'B' to twitch and the giant bird above the volcano will swoop down, collect you and drop you in the stew bowl. Jump on the other ingredients to reach the Multi Moon (Big Pot on the Volcano: Dive In) on top of the rock.


Need more help? Our Super Mario Odyssey guide and walkthrough goes through every objective in each Kingdom, while our Power Moon locations can help you track down the likes of Cascade Kingdom Power Moons, Sand Kingdom Power Moons, Metro Kingdom and New Donk City Power Moons and more collectables. We also have Purple Coin locations for each Kingdom, and if you want to know what to spend it on, we have a hats list, outfits list, stickers list, a souvenirs list as well as a music list to kit out the appearance of both Mario and the Odyssey. Once you've finished the game, check out the free Balloon World update, too.


Climb Up the Cascading Magma

The giant bird will flap its wings and throw you from the stew pot, sending the volcano into an angry eruption. Now back down where you started, jump over the island platforms, take out the Fire Bro, head to the left (towards the corn on the cob), then possess the Lava Bubble. Head towards the red pot and launch yourself to the other side.

Jump on the ledges and quickly deal with the two Fire Bros. At the top, enter the Warp Pipe, dodge the 2D fire and the 2D Hammer Bro, head to the other side and use the corn on the cob to roll to the platform on the other side.

Inside the door, possess the Lava Bubble and head up the hill, dodging the pillars that roll down. At the top, jump onto the lava pillars and reach the other side. Jump onto the remaining torch to light it, revealing the Moon (Climb Up the Cascading Magma).
