What Keri the Wisp trinket does
When Keri the Wisp is equipped, press and hold the jump button while Mina is in the air. Instead of dropping immediately, she begins floating downward slowly.
The effect allows you to:
- Cross wider gaps
- Correct jumps mid-air
- Reach hidden ledges
- Safely descend from high platforms
- Explore shortcuts earlier than normal
Location of the Southern Outskirts Poppit Shop
The shop is hidden inside the Southern Outskirts area and requires a short detour through the Cave Network.
Start from Ossex and travel south into the Southern Outskirts. Continue until you reach the section containing enemies and the flower maze. After working through the maze, locate the staircase entrance that leads into the dungeon area.
Inside the dungeon commons, continue through the Cave Network and make your way toward the eastern exit. Eventually you will reach an outdoor section with a puff plant and multiple ledges. This is the final stretch before the hidden Poppit shop.
Step 1
Travel south from Ossex into the Southern Outskirts and reach the Cave Network entrance hidden beyond the early enemy patrols.
Step 2
Use the purple bounce plants and platforms throughout the Cave Network to work your way toward the eastern side of the dungeon.
Step 3
Exit the Cave Network and continue south until you reach the outdoor section containing enemies, a house, and a puff plant.
Step 4
Burrow underneath the puff plant and launch it toward the western ledge.
Step 5
Jump on the repositioned plant to reach the higher platform. Lower the nearby rope shortcut so future visits are easier.
Step 6
Continue east until you spot the familiar blue-purple torch markers indicating a hidden Poppit entrance.
Step 7
Dig through the opening and follow the underground tunnel. Enter the hidden chamber to find Poppit’s shop and purchase Keri the Wisp.

How to use Keri the Wisp to float in Mina the Hollower
Keri the Wisp is useful almost immediately after purchase. Mina’s default jump can feel restrictive when exploring larger gaps, but the floating effect greatly increases horizontal travel distance.
The trinket also helps when navigating bounce plants, hidden treasure routes, elevated platforms, and dangerous pit sections. Since many secrets in Mina the Hollower reward careful exploration, having extra airtime often makes collecting bones and hidden items much easier. Multiple community guides consider it one of the strongest early-game utility trinkets because it remains useful throughout the adventure rather than becoming obsolete later.
If you’re struggling with platforming sections or want to access hidden paths earlier, Keri the Wisp should be one of your first major trinket purchases. Head to the hidden Poppit Shop in the Southern Outskirts, spend 500 Bones, and you’ll unlock a float ability that remains valuable for nearly the entire game. Whether you’re hunting secrets, crossing large gaps, or simply making traversal safer, Keri the Wisp is one of the most practical upgrades available.
