The Rite of the Pollip is one of the missable wishes that players can encounter in the Shellwood Region of the map. If you head into the small domed section on the central left of the map, you will find a bug who will give you a wish to complete. The wish is called Rite of the Pollip, and you’ll be taxed with finding several Pollip Hearts. While the first 5 are easy, the sixth Pollip Heart is a mystery. Here’s everything you need to know to find the Pollip Heart locations and complete this Wish.
Pollip Heart Locations¶

To make things easy, we have attached a map to find the Pollip Hearts. The first 5 in the central and lower part of the map are fairly easy to find once you get a hold of the Wall Cling ability, which you get from this region. Go to the top left area of the Shellwood region and climb the big device thing on the map. When you have it, you can get most of the seeds with ease.
The 6th and final one whoever, will require you to double back on yourself. Go to the top right of Shellwood and then follow the top most pathway into the Bellhart region. You will find a tunnel system at the top with large bell head bugs blocking the tunnels as they move around. Try to drop down them and go left when you can. It takes you to a pathway that leads back into a secret tunnel where you can get the last flower at the bottom level of that tunnel when you re-enter Shellwood. At the end of the tunnel, you can create a shortcut back to the cage elevator room where the rest is.
Rewards¶

When you have all six Pollip Hearts, return to the little bulb area in the central left of the SHellwood. From here, you can get a reward. Complete the Wish, then wait for the bug to disappear off screen and reappear. It will come back with a reward for you.
The reward for the Rite of the Pollip is very interesting. You will receive a defensive toll, called the Pollip Pouch. This will apply a poison effect to all of your tools on your belt. The poison effect increases the lethality of your tools, and applies to everything you use. It also makes the icons purple, and any effect the tool has will also get a purple effect. It looks pretty sweet. You can combo this with something like the Reaper’s Crest, which gives you two offensive tools, meaning you can double up on poisons and make a really powerful offensive toolbelt playstyle if you want to.
