Kena: Bridge Of Spirits - All Rot Hat Locations

October 13, 2021

Rot Hats are collectables in Kena: Bridge Of Spirits that you can find throughout the world. You can unlock various designs by finding them in Treasure Chests, completing Story Quests and a whole host of other activities.

This guide will show you all of the Rot Hat Locations and how to get them.

Once you unlock a Rot Hat, you can purchase them from Rot Hat Carts stationed throughout the world. You can then equip them to your little Rot creatures; they don't do anything other than make your Rot look super awesome!
