The Rite of the Pollip is one of those Silksong side quests that looks tiny on paper and then quietly eats an afternoon. I started it expecting a simple flower hunt, but what I found was a looping route through Shellwood and Bellhart that tested my memory, my Cling Grip timing, and my patience for purple petals. In 2026, this is still one of the most satisfying early-side quests to finish, especially because the reward changes how your combat Tools behave. Finding all six Pollip Hearts without a route feels like sorting fireflies with a broken lantern, so I mapped the hunt in the order that kept me from backtracking too much.

Starting the Rite of the Pollip

I began by speaking to Greyroot in the Shellwood region. Greyroot waits inside a tiny house in central Shellwood, and the location is easy to miss if you are moving quickly through the area. When I entered the house and spoke with her, she mentioned the need for Pollip Hearts and offered the Rite of the Pollip Wish. I accepted immediately. If you are following my route, make sure you have the Cling Grip first. Several hearts sit above wall-climb sections, and without that ability the quest becomes a scavenger hunt with locked doors.

My Pollip Heart Route

I used a simple checklist so I would not confuse one purple flower with another. The hearts are called Pollip Hearts in the quest text, but they are really purple flowers with a fancy name. Here is the order that worked best for me.
