Kena Bridge Of Spirits Rusu Mountain Hats or Rot Hats are a lot trickier than those we have found in Taro’s Tree area, but nevertheless mandatory if you are a completionist. Except for one of them, which is unlocked automatically, the remaining 5 require a keen eye and attention to the environment.
On Rusu Mountain (which is quite large), you’ll need to retrieve 6 Kena Bridge Of Spirits Hats, all of them counting as collectibles, along with the following:
So, let’s see where to find all Rot Hats on Rusu Mountain, the second area you’ll explore in the video game developed by Ember Lab.
Hat #1 – Bird’s Nest
The very first Rusu Mountain Hat is found inside the Cursed chest, and to get it, you’ll need to complete a little challenge. This chest can be found the moment you reach the large wooden bridge. Before having the Rot pull the bridge for Kena, while facing it, turn right to spot a painted ledge. It’s basically next to the bridge.
Jump and grab the ledge, then follow it to reach a clearing on the top of the mountain (location marked on the map below). Now approach the chest, and to collect the hidden Hat inside, you’ll have to defeat all enemies without being hit. You can easily do this if you use Kena’s Bow.
Hat #2 – Squash
The second Kena Bridge Of Spirits Rusu Mountain Rot Hat requires you to solve a small puzzle in Rusu’s Garden, and this one is best approached after you clear the corruption inside his house. Once you do this, head to the said garden (marked on the map below) and look for two targets you can shoot.
Do this, and you’ll get a water drop you can place on the plant nearby (left side while facing the targets). Next, use the Rot to create a Rot Cloud and water the plants in the garden (move it around). The Hat is obtained from one of the Rots that pops out, and it is the Squash Hat.
