Rite of the Pollip wish in Hollow Knight Silksong walkthrough

Once you have spoken with Greyroot in Shellwood, you can choose to accept the wish. After accepting the wish, a new quest progression will be added to your Tasks screen, and keep tabs on the number of Pollip Hearts you have gathered so far. All of the hearts can be found relatively close to the NPC's location on the map.

It is important to note that to complete this mission, the Cling Grip Ancestral Art is required. This makes it easy for the knight to climb onto steep areas and harvest the flowers.

Fourth Pollip Heart

On the top left platform of the tall room, you find a route that leads to a room filled with white flowers on vines. Use the flowers as platforms and strike them to gain height and climb to the top.
