So, beginner's guide to jungling!
If I get better at other champions, I'll also make this guide include them if possible.
Some things to note
Try keep your masteries to ? 21 ?, seeing that its good for a tanker. Plentiful Bounty is optional but good for relatively new players. At lvl 30, aim to get either utility buff increase or plentiful bounty. The EXP increase is also important, but can be negated if Zilean is on your team (passive +8% exp)





Bandage Toss is pretty useful, but its cooldown is really annoying. However, adding it at level 1 may give a 1st blood to either the person you lane with or yourself, which is good. However, you can neglect adding it if you aren't laning with someone, or that you decide to play defensively. It can be used to stop opponents from targetting your teammate, save yourself by escaping via enemy creeps, but most important of all, gank and killing your opponent. (Luring your opponent to your tower can always lead to a solo lane 1st blood)
Despair is one thing that makes Amumu shines. This skill can do 2.7% of hp as damage, plus 24 magic damage on an opponent. This really helps against tankers, and since Amumu is also a tanker, you can always target your enemy and easily kill without attacking. (Don't bother attacking if the opponent is low on hp, just walk with him and spam skills on him) In teamfights, this may prove to be an invaluable skill.
Note : When Despair is on, towers will aim you if you get too close to enemy champions near it.
Tantrum doesn't seem comparable to the other skills late game, but at killing creeps, its relatively good. It also blocks some damage, wellcome to any tanks. Also note that Tantrum's cooldown is reduced by 0.5 seconds each time Amumu is hit (Except last second). This skill can be used to harrass and can be spammed to kill waves of creeps.
Curse of the Sad Mummy is the best part of Amumu. He stuns enemies within range, enabling your teammates to quickly kill the champions without fear of damage from opponent. It helps with many others' ulti which require aiming or AOE and pretty much can turn an entire teamfight. Don't hesitate to use if your teammates are low on hp in a teamfight - you may just turn the tide.

After going back 1st time, you should be about lvl 3. Buy a

As soon as you run out of pots again (or find that you have 1175 gold), go back to get a

For Amumu, I suggest Ionian boots of lucidity for cooldown reduction. If you go for a


If you had gotten any boots besides Ionian boots of lucidity, go immediately for

As soon as possible, after getting the basic few cheap items, rush for warmog. Remember to get



Another important thing is your




Now, with your main, godly items, there is few you might buy. If you didn't buy Ionian boots, it means you are free to spam elixers, while otherwise, you will have to buy a last item.

Also, useful items for Amumu ( Tank only )





Frozen heart reduces cooldown by 20% and has 99 armor boost, welcome to any long cooldowns. Amumu's bandage toss and Curse badly needs cooldown reduction, so this may be the best viable option
~ Helpful Boosts ~


Starting off
Blue team - Go bottom lane (Golems)
Purple team - Go top lane (Golems)
Both - Go to close to middle (Wraiths)
Both - Go to the other side NC camp that isn't blue golems (Wolves)
Both - Go back to original golems (Golems)
Both - Go back, smite a Wraith. Engage and run if you need to (Wraiths)
Buy a regrowth pendant and some more pots
Both - You should be level 3 by now. Either go NC the rest of the Wraiths and the Wolves or go Blue Golem for the blue buff (Blue Golem/Wraiths/Wolves)
Both - Go for the lizards or wait till you get back smite by going to the golems (Red Lizard/Golems)
Both - Keep NCing in the order Golem, Wraith, Lizard to maximize EXP and go back 1 last time if needed. Gank if you want.
After level 7, you won't have any problems NCing anymore! Remember to last hit with smite! Calculate the damage or estimate before you smite! In case of enemy junglers finding you, just save smite to prevent buffs from being stolen!
This would be hard for beginners who usually do not have runes. Therefore, instead of going to the usual jungling suggestions, aka the blue golem(buff) and then the red lizard, this guide is specifically for beginners.
Anyway, start off with Golems. Ask your laning teammate to help with killing but NOT taking the exp from the golems. Maokai would be a really good friend seeing his

If you have experience increase, you should have been the 1st level 2! Anyway, seeing you saved smite, go to the Wraiths (middle of map). Smite the Biggest wraith (No buffs here) and engage the other 3 Wraiths. Try save MP by only activating despair.
Go to wolves. There shouldn't be much problems by now. Heal whenever you run out of pots and none are activated so as to heal as much as possible.
Keep going in Golems, Wraiths, Wolves in order until you reach lvl 3+ without any pots. Go back, get a regrowth pendant and either level to level 4 by Wraiths and Wolves or else just go Blue Golem (I have problems with it at level 4, so try level 4 for safety). If you smite the Wraiths, you may not be able to get smite in time to kill the Blue Golem, but you probably can take it on without smite.
Red Lizard is your next target. Trash it and make sure you don't get pwnt by it. If you didn't smite the Blue Golem, you may have problems since you taken a lot more damage and regen slowly.
After this 2, just go in the same order of Golems, Wraiths, Wolves to maximize your exp gain.
After level 7, you won't have any problems!
IMPORTANT Always use a pot before jungling! Especially before you get your regrowth pendant! If you have no pots in use or in inventory, just use heal to get abit more hp to NC longer. You can ignore this if you are trying to reach level 4 before Blue Golems (Meaning you aim the rest of the Wraiths and Wolves 1st). Try to buy less than 4 pots after you get your regrowth - You probably won't use some!


Bandage toss does hit creeps, so long as they're not your team. So, to get more accurate hits, try position team fights further from lanes
Thanks to Kryptix for his 1st guide, which compelled me to use Amumu the Sad Mummy which turned out to be my greatest champion yet.
Thanks for viewing my guide. Hope it helps!
