The Rite of the Pollip in Hollow Knight Silksong is a quest (wish) you get from Greyroot. They are an NPC who resides near the center of the Shellwood region. The quest asks you to collect six Pollip Hearts, which you get from breaking large purple flowers scattered around Shellwood. If you are having trouble finding the Pollip Hearts, here’s a guide to help you out.

To reach all the Pollip Hearts, you first have to defeat Sister Splinter and get the wall grab ability. Unlocking the Cling Grip opens up numerous new areas, including the Pollip locations. It is recommended to start from Greyroot’s hut to stay on the optimal path. That said, here are the locations: 

First Pollip Location

Start from Greyroot’s Hunt and parkour across the room to the top-right section to get the first Pollip Heart. 

Second Pollip Heart

Go right from the first spot, past the large vertical room, and near the entrance to Bellhart. The Pollip Heart is once again in the top-right corner of the room. However, it is guarded by a Pollip Hive, which you must eliminate first. 

Third Pollip Location

Return to the vertical room and enter the room above the second location. Jump down from the left ledge and break the fragile wall beneath it to reveal the flower. Break it and claim the Pollip Heart.

Fourth Pollip Location

Once again, return to the vertical room and enter the room in the top left corner. Halfway through, there is a small lake with flowers on top. You have to pogo on the flowers to reach the top and hit the Pollip flower attached to the roof. Moreover, if you are having trouble, use the Wanderer’s Crest to make the pogo much easier to execute. 

Fifth Pollip Location

After you take the fourth heart, jump down and continue to the left into the room where you obtain the Cling Grip (Wall Grab). Then, head to the left side of the room. The Pollip flower is inside a small section on the left wall. 

Sixth Pollip Location

The last Pollip Heart is the most difficult to reach by far. In the same room, head to the top right corner and go past the arena where you fought Sister Splinter. Use the flowers in front of you to wall grab the section above, which should have been previously unreachable. 

Keep wall-grabbing the pillars and make your way to the bottom left corner of the room, where you have to destroy a Pollip Hive. You can use the Silkspear ability to do it reasonably quickly. Once destroyed, it opens a hidden passage that directly leads to the final Pollip Heart. You can now return to Greyroot and return the Pollip Hearts for a combat tool.

After you return the Pollip hearts, Greyroot gives you the Pollip Pouch tool. It is a blue tool that, when equipped, coats your weapons with a quick-acting poison. It is a useful tool for fighting bosses with large health pools, such as Moorwing and Skull Tyrant. Additionally, you get to take the next quest, Rite of Rebirth Wish, which asks you to fetch an item from the Exhaust Organ, a region that unlocks in Act 2 of Silksong.
