You’ll have to leave this to the end of your adventure in Shellwood.

Finding all the Pollip Hearts for the Rite of the Pollip quest is difficult. You might think the quest should be easy just because you get it from Greyroot early in your adventures through Shellwood, but the only way to complete it is by clearing the boss in the area.

Let’s go through the preparations you need to complete the Pollip Hearts quest. First, defeat Shellwood’s boss, Sister Splinter, to find a room where you’ll unlock the wall-jumping powers of Cling Grip. You can find this boss by navigating up and right of Greyroot’s room until you get to the right edge of Shellwood, from where you’ll start going up and left.

With Cling Grip, it’s time to start looking for Pollip Hearts. Greyroot says you need to “seek out the purple blooms,” and inside them, you’ll find the hearts. If you want hints instead of all the answers at first, I have one for you. Look for little purple flowers on the walls and for rooms or areas with floating purple petals. If you see either or both, you’re very close to a purple bloom with a Pollip Heart.

The blooms that contain Pollip Hearts are big purple flowers attached to walls. Only one of them will be in each area. To extract their heart, simply hit it with your Needle until they burst, which will cause them to drop a Pollip Heart on the ground, marked by a purple glow. Interact with the glowing item to collect it.

Pollip Hearts map

Here’s the map with all Pollip Heart locations. Their spots are numbered so you can reference them with their specific locations in the article section following the map. You don’t need to pick them in that order.

Pollip Heart #1

This Pollip Heart is the closest one to the bottom right entrance to Shellwood, which doesn’t mean you can grab it early. The only way to reach this platform is by using Cling Grip to jump on the wall on the top right of the room. Once you’re there, simply hit the blossom to get a Pollip Heart.

Pollip Heart #2

You can grab this Pollip Heart without Cling Grip in the room to the left of the entrance of Shellwood. Go all the way to the left, climb the platforms, then head right until you find a series of platforms that will lead you upward to where you’ll find the purple blossom. As usual, hit the flower and collect the Heart.

Pollip Heart #3

This Pollip Heart is really tricky to reach. You must bounce on a series of white flowers that make a path upward, where you’ll spot a purple blossom. To bounce on a flower, jump toward it, and press down and the attack button to swing your needle below you. This will propel Hornet upward and close to the next flower, where you’ll do the same until you’re high enough to reach the blossom.

While you can try to hold the jump button to float between flowers, I found it easier to do all the attacks in a row because floating made me overthink and overcalculate Hornet’s movements. If you’re struggling with floating, try just finding a good attacking pace to reach the Pollip Heart.

Pollip Heart #4

The fourth purple boom with a Pollip Heart is close to where you kill Sister Splinter and get the Cling Grip. If you go to the room marked on the map, you’ll see that the path to this Pollip Heart is like a simple vertical platforming puzzle. Go up and all the way to the left, where you’ll drop from a ledge and move right to find the purple blossom.

Pollip Heart #5

You can get this Pollip right after Pollip Heart #4. It’s in the center room of Shellwood, and you can get to this spot by jumping on the walls to the far left of the room, as if you were leaving to the right of it, next to its right exit. Go left as soon as you’re about half of the room’s height, and you’ll see a wall with purple flowers on it. Cling and slide on it, hold left, and you’ll be on a platform with this purple bloom to collect its heart.

Pollip Heart #6

The last Pollip Heart is only accessible via Bellhart. To get to Bellhart, exit Shellwood from the top right, also to the right of where you killed Sister Splinter. Once you’re in the upper part of Bellhart, start dropping down carefully to avoid the huge bell bugs. When the big drops end, go all the way to the left, and you’ll find a passage that will take you back to Shellwood, but that you couldn’t access before.

Keep going to the right while doing the platforming section with the spikes. Going through the bottom part of this area, you’ll find a vine wall with purple flowers. Jump toward it, destroy the vines, and you’ll find the last purple bloom to collect its Pollip Heart.

Rite of the Pollip reward

With all six Pollip Hearts, go back to Greyroot in the bottom left of Shellwood, as marked on the map in this article. Speak to it twice and you’ll trade your Pollips for a Pollip Pouch. The Pollip Pouch is a charm you can equip in the blue slot. It applies a poison effect to your tools.

In my case, the Straight Pins I used to hit enemies would poison them and make them take passive damage four times after they got hit. Essentially, it’s a small attack boost to your Tools. This means that your normal Needle attacks, unfortunately, don’t apply poison with Pollip Pouch, since the Needle is a weapon, not a tool.

If you want to make your Needle stronger, you’ll have to upgrade it at Pinmaster Plinney.

Hut 8 to Build Over 1.5 GW of New Capacity Across 4 Locations

by admin August 27, 2025

Hut 8 is planning a significant overhaul that has the potential to transform its future in both energy infrastructure and bitcoin mining. The Canadian company said that it will spin out the majority of its bitcoin mining activity into a new company, American Bitcoin (ABTC), within the next week.

Today, we announced plans to develop four new sites across the United States, advancing 1,530 MW in our pipeline from exclusivity into development. The sites are expected to diversify Hut 8’s geographic footprint and position the company to meet growing demand from prospective… pic.twitter.com/ZSLhsxRAGA

The expansion is accompanied by aggressive growth plans. Hut 8 announced it is building 1.53 gigawatts (GW) of further capacity at four U.S. locations in Louisiana, Texas, and Illinois. When finished, the projects will increase the company’s power in management more than two times to 2.55 GW.

Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer called the update a turning point and lifted his price target on Hut 8 shares to $36 from $33 and holds a buy rating. With the shares closing just shy of $26 yesterday, that means nearly 40% potential gain.

Palmer underscored that spinning off the mining business into ABTC enables Hut 8 to position itself as an energy infrastructure company, de-risking exposure to Bitcoin volatility while enabling the access to lower-cost financing.

Supported by $2.4 billion liquidity, including reserves of bitcoin, credit facilities, and an equity program, Hut 8 is positioning itself as a proxy for bitcoin as well as a major player in AI and high-performance computing infrastructure.

Where To Find Fortnite Helicopters – All Choppa Locations In Chapter 6 Season 4

by admin August 26, 2025

It’s been an extremely eventful start to Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, with Epic already pulling this season’s medallions from circulation for being too overpowered and ridiculous after two weeks of backlash. Fortunately, Fortnite is always introducing new ways of being absurd and over-the-top, and this week’s update is proof of that, as it added two very silly new vehicles: the Roly-Poly bug, and Hammerhead Choppas.

The Roly-Polys are extremely easy to find since they’re just lying on the ground all over the place. If you see bugs running around, then there are some Roly-Polys, too. There are enough of those for everybody, more or less. But that’s not the case with Hammerhead Choppas, of which only a handful spawn each match.

It makes a lot of sense for there to be more Roly-Polys than Hammerhead Choppas. The Choppas, which are new, much cooler-looking versions of Fortnite’s old helicopters, have enough room for a full squad of players and a hired NPC. Roly-Polys, by contrast, can only fit a single player each–they’re essentially new, bouncier versions of Ballers. So, while there are dozens of Roly-Polys that spawn around the island each match, there are only a few Hammerhead Choppas.

Where to find the Hammerhead Choppas in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4

There are five guaranteed Hammerhead Choppas at four main spawn locations–one of the spots actually has two of them. The Hammerhead Choppas spawn at each of the three OXR outposts, which is where the “push back the bugs” events happen, and there are two that spawn at OXR HQ to the north of the center of the island. All five of these Choppas appear to have a 100% spawn chance.

That said, there are also a few other spots where Hammerhead Choppas have some unknown chance of spawning. You can see the spawn locations in the handy map we’ve provided below. Black stars indicate a spot where a Hammerhead Choppa may spawn, red stars indicate a guaranteed Hammerhead Choppa spawn, and red with a black outline indicates two guaranteed Choppas.

There are five guaranteed spawns (red) and three other potential spawn locations (black) for Hammerhead Choppas.

The guaranteed Hammerhead Choppas won’t just be on the ground, of course. The reason they spawn in these locations is that OXR has all the helipads. So when you’re in one of those places trying to nab your fun new method of air transportation, look for it on platforms like this.

For those locations where there’s only a chance of a Choppa spawn, however, they’ll be parked on the grass.

How to use the loudspeaker on Hammerhead Choppas

Fortnite is celebrating the arrival of Hammerhead Choppas to Battle Royale by adding two weekly quests, neither of which is particularly complicated. The first is to damage players from 50 meters or more away while in a Choppa, and while the Choppa itself has no weapons, you presumably would–all you have to do is switch to a passenger seat and fire away. You don’t have to kill anybody. You just need to hit a few shots. And shots on the bugs counts, for the record.

All five guaranteed Hammerhead Choppas spawn on platforms like this.

But while anybody who plays Fortnite has shot some enemies before, the other Choppa quest involves a non-standard mechanic that is completely unique to Choppas: the ability to blast music over a loudspeaker while you fly around. There’s a quest to do just that within 100 meters of an enemy player. It’s not a difficult task, but since it’s only something Choppas can do, and Choppas aren’t in the game very much, most folks probably don’t know about it.

Fortunately, this quest is as easy at they come, because you can turn on the loudspeaker by pressing the emote button–that’s down on the d-pad on a controller, or B on a keyboard. If you didn’t immediately complete the quest when you fired it up, just fly around until you find somebody. Considering that a 100-meter radius is pretty large, it’ll probably happen by accident.
