The Witch's Bakery Mawuli Guide: Heart Palace & Levels

Mawuli is a high school student, streamer, and content creator who becomes both a close friend and bakery companion to Lunne in The Witchs Bakery. Introduced around Chapter 3, he plays a central role in the narrative as Lunne helps him confront his inner insecurities and fear of abandonment.

This guide outlines Mawuli's profile, how to navigate his subway-themed Heart Palace, and how to raise your relationship levels with him.

Who Is Mawuli in The Witch's Bakery?

Mawuli first visits the bakery around Day 18 as Lunne's shop gains popularity throughout Paris. Behind his confident modern streetwear aesthetic and active streaming persona, he struggles with deep feelings of inadequacy regarding his family.

Unlike his younger sister Mirembe, who is a naturally gifted elemental witch, Mawuli does not wield magic. Official lore notes that his inner torment takes the shape of a giant hummingbird, symbolizing his fear that Mirembe will outgrow or abandon him due to his lack of magical ability, alongside pressure regarding his mother Mille-Lieux's accomplishments.

Mawuli's Heart Palace Walkthrough

Mawuli's Heart Palace unfolds in two distinct exploratory sections starting on Day 18. The dungeon mechanics center on stealth, ghost distraction, and track navigation inside an ethereal Paris metro system.

Part 1: Day 18 Navigation

Upon entering Mawuli's heart for the first time:

1. Move right until you hit a locked gate.
2. Backtrack slightly until an audio cue triggers, then return to pass through the newly unlocked passage.
3. Advance until you encounter spectral figures blocking your way.
4. Solve the ghost diversion puzzle: send Fear to the far right side and possess the node. Move Lunne into position, then possess the far-left sign to distract the ghost's line of sight before crossing safely.

Part 2: Day 19 Apartment & Train Exploration

Before returning to the palace on Day 19, visit Mawuli's apartment in his neighborhood and examine the photographs on the right wall depicting The Aside.

1. First Barrier: Break the initial barrier with the deduction that Mawuli pushes himself because he feels inferior compared to his mother.
2. Ghost Camera Puzzle: Examine the briefcase memory. When Fear gets startled by camera flashes, conceal yourself behind the camera unit and possess the left marker.
3. Train Platform Puzzle: Lure the patrolling ghost to the middle point, then direct it toward the right point. Position Lunne at the right node, reset the ghost to the center while it faces away, and sprint through.
4. Train Car Evacuation: Interact with the train doors to pull out the remaining ghosts.
5. Torment Spikes: Dodge the ceiling attacks deployed by Mawuli's hummingbird torment. Watch the ceiling for glowing spark indicators that reveal incoming spike drops.
6. Final Barrier: Overcome the second barrier by selecting the dialogue response linking his stress to his mother.
