The Colossal Flower event path, its escalating HP cost, and the Pollinous Core reward.
Quick answer
Colossal Flower is an event where you can keep pushing toward the flower's center by losing 5, then 6, then 7 HP. Reaching the center costs 18 HP in total and gives Pollinous Core. At each stage you can instead stop and take an increasing amount of Gold.
| Total HP to center | 18 HP |
|---|---|
| HP sequence | 5, then 6, then 7 |
| Final reward | Pollinous Core |
| Alternative | Stop early and take Gold |
How the event progresses
Each step deeper into the flower costs more HP. You can leave with Gold at an earlier stage, or pay the full 18 HP across all three steps to obtain Pollinous Core.
Pollinous Core provides recurring extra draw: every fourth turn, you draw two additional cards.
Decision guide
Treat 18 HP as the purchase price of the relic, not as three unrelated small payments. The relic becomes more attractive when your deck expects long fights and can convert extra cards into meaningful output.
Take an early Gold exit when paying the remaining HP would force you away from an elite, consume a needed rest site, or put the run at risk before the next reliable heal.
