Jungle Tutorial

Early Game:

Start at the Gold Fury side Speed Buff; once the Speed Buff jungle camp is cleared, head towards your XP Buff right next to your Speed Buff; afterwards, you want to head towards the XP camp right next to the Gold Fury Buffs (this will let you hit level 2).

After that you want to head towards mid to contest the mid camps in the right jungle with your mid laner. Once that is done, head towards your red buff, and either you or your mid laner can take this buff.

Then go down towards your scorpion camp and XP camp (this will let you hit level 3).
Pele is one of the more aggressive assassins in the early fights. While you won't have your gap closer ability Magma Rush at level 2, you do have blink which is quite deadly. The rule of thumb is: The enemy laner is usually the easier kill, but the enemy jungler is the one who might kill you (or your teamate)
Use Pyroclast to clear the minion wave and jungle camps, save a single charge of the ability in-case the enemy decides to fight.
Pele has powerful early fights, and is usually faster than the enemy jungler. For that reason, it is recommended you try to make rotations. Don't forget to farm during the process!
Use Magma Rush to travel around the map faster than the enemy jungler. Make sure to save fuel just before you reach the enemies so you can use Magma Rush during combat as well.
Your priorities are: Buff camps > Rotations > Harpies.
Buff camps spawn once every 3 minutes, so there is downtime in-between to decide if you wish to rotate on the enemy.
Once you unlock your first item, your damage is much stronger and this is considered your power spike. Keep in mind that the enemy jungler will also experience this, so do your best to know which side of the map the enemy jungler is on.

Mid Game:

Begins around ~14 minutes, or when most people have hit Level 12 and unlocked their Second Relic. Most enemy teams have gotten around to warding by now, and team fights become increasingly common. Most builds have started to show effectiveness.
Magma Rush is still used to rotate, but keep track of where the enemies are so you don't rush straight into one of their traps.
Keep the rotation of: Buff Camps > Rotations > Harpies , but recognize that you should prioritize objectives and team fights above all else. If a team fight is going on, skip your farm to help your team out. Only farm if the fight is already lost, or you are on the other side of the map.
While outrotating the enemy jungler may become difficult at this stage, recognize you can kill the enemy backliners through many escapes/ultimates/relics with proper use of Volcanic Lightning. Your want your teammates to help out to protect yourself from enemy counter rotations.

Late Game:

Almost everybody has hit Level 20, Fire Giant is the most important objective on the map. Starter items become unlocked at Level 20, which results in a damage/defensive spike. This means that everybody dies faster, and Team Fights are the most important thing.
Like many other junglers, you almost never want to be the initiator of a team fight. Wait for the fight to begin, and try to blink on the enemy backline (or fleeing enemies). The only time you should act first is when you catch an enemy who is alone and isolated from their team.
Try to fight near your solo laner, and play off of their initiation. It's important the two of you work together to prevent the enemy backline from having the numbers advantage.
Use your blink and beads aggressively whenever possible, loosing your beads before the fight happens is worst-case scenario because many times you will need it to secure a kill.
One very important late game warding tip is: Almost every single team fight at Fire Giant results in large amount of wards placed by each team on that side of the map. If you are trying to push minion waves/farm camps after a Fire Giant fight, realize the enemy almost always has eyes on you and it is a dangerous spot to be in, watch out!
During Siege fights, consider split pushing the Mid Phoenix with your Solo Laner. If your Solo Laner decides to tank the Phoenix, your lockdown is very powerful at killing enemy junglers.

Warding

Blue - Early/Rotational wards, you don't go out of your way to place these wards. Place them while already in the area, they are used to prevent blind spots while you rotate. They also double as objective wards

Green - Late game wards, you want to place them as high as possible without getting caught by the enemy doing so. They cut off chokepoints on the enemies side, which lets you know which side of the map they are on. Good wards for a Fire Giant fight

If you find yourself at an enemy buff camp, feel free to drop a ward for the timer if you plan on coming back!

It is very important to recognize which side of the map enemies are on. If you see the enemy jungler on the solo side, recognize they could counter-rotate if you try to play on that side of the map. On the flip side, it means you are free to rotate on the Gold-Fury side of the map!

Final Advice

Jungle is difficult, and playing an Early-Game god such as Pele can feel frustrating as messing up early game might feel suffocating to come back from. My best advice is to not give up! You will learn with experience, and the payoff is the stronger you in the future. Don't try and understand the whole guide at once, take what you can out of it and come back later once the specifics become easier to understand.

You got this! <3
