Guide to finding all 6 Pollip Hearts for the Rite of the Pollip in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Learn where to find this quest item and claim your reward!
Alright, let's get this Rite of the Pollip quest done! It's all about finding these little guys called Pollip Hearts scattered around. The good news is, most of them are pretty straightforward once you get the Wall Cling ability. You'll be grabbing the first five in the central and lower parts of the Shellwood region.
- 1Shellwood Region (Central/Lower): Once you have the Wall Cling ability, head to the top-left area of Shellwood. You'll see a large device on the map; climb it. From here, you should be able to easily reach the first five Pollip Hearts.
- 2Shellwood to Bellhart (Upper): For the sixth and final Pollip Heart, you'll need to backtrack a bit. Go to the top-right of Shellwood and follow the uppermost path into the Bellhart region.
- 3Bellhart Tunnels: In Bellhart, look for a tunnel system at the very top. Be careful, as large bell-head bugs patrol these tunnels. Your goal is to drop down past them and head left when possible.
- 4Secret Tunnel Back to Shellwood: This leftward path leads you into a secret tunnel system that actually takes you back into the Shellwood region. The last Pollip Heart is waiting at the bottom level of this tunnel.
- 5Shortcut Creation: Once you've grabbed that final heart, you'll find a shortcut at the end of the tunnel. This leads back to the cage elevator room, making it super convenient to return to where you need to be.
Returning the Pollip Hearts:
With all six Pollip Hearts collected, make your way back to the small bulb area located in the central-left part of the Shellwood region. Interact with it to complete the Wish. After a short animation where the bug disappears and reappears, you'll receive your reward.
The reward for completing the Rite of the Pollip is the Pollip Pouch. This is a really neat defensive tool that applies a poison effect to all your tools on your belt. It makes your tools more lethal, changes their icons to purple, and gives any associated effects a purple visual flair. It looks pretty cool and can be combined with other tools, like the Reaper's Crest, for a powerful offensive build.
- Make sure you have the Wall Cling ability before attempting to collect the first five Pollip Hearts, as it's essential for reaching them.
- Pay close attention to the movement of the bell-head bugs in the Bellhart tunnels; timing your descent is key to avoiding them.
- The shortcut at the end of the final tunnel is a lifesaver, so be sure to activate it to save yourself time on future trips.
