How to Solve the Bouquet Side Quest in Mina the Hollower
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A guide to completing the early bouquet side quest in Mina the Hollower, detailing how to solve the rooftop puzzle with Furl and unlock the useful Valor Medallion trinket.
Side quests in retro-inspired action adventures often hide the best gear behind clever environmental puzzles, and Yacht Club Games is leaning hard into that design philosophy with Mina the Hollower. One of the earliest optional objectives players can tackle involves tracking down a bouquet for a heartbroken character named Roma, sitting disconsolately by the eastern Ossex river. As detailed in a recent guide by Polygon, completing the task requires some lateral thinking, a potted plant, and the peculiar cooperation of an NPC named Furl.
Getting your hands on those flowers is not simply a matter of walking up and grabbing them because the pot rests firmly out of reach on a nearby rooftop. Players need to locate Furl, a masked purple character hanging out near the eastern Ossex garment shop, and give him a strategic nudge to make use of his spring-loaded nose. Hitting Furl causes him to launch his snout across the gap, creating an improvised bridge to the roof. Once across, you must burrow underground to secure the flower pot before hauling it across the region to set up the romantic reconciliation.
While fetching flora might sound like standard fetch-quest busywork, the reward is well worth the effort for anyone planning to tackle the game's tougher encounters. Bringing Roma and Furl together yields the Valor Medallion trinket, a genuine game-changer that allows you to stay mobile while using Plasma Vial heals and protects your plasma reserves if you take a hit mid-animation. For a full breakdown of the exact positioning and steps needed to herd Furl across the river, check out the complete guide over at Polygon.
Whether you are playing on a Steam Deck on your commute or sitting at a high-end desktop rig, discovering these little mechanical secrets is half the fun of a well-crafted indie release. Mechanics that require out-of-the-box thinking breathe extra life into exploration, making the world feel reactive and rewarding. Keep an eye on how these classic design sensibilities translate as the community uncovers more of Mina the Hollower's hidden depths.
