The Village contains 65 Collectible Locations in Kena Bridge of Spirits. This walkthrough will guide you to all the collectibles in the Village Region in chronological order. Everything that’s needed for trophies and 100% completion is included. Nothing is missable, everything can be collected after the story.
- 24 Rots
- 21 Hats
- 8 Flower Shrines
- 3 Spirit Mail
- 6 Cursed Chests
- 3 Meditation Spots
It’s recommended to grab what you can during the story and clean up the rest after the story. Nothing is missable, you can return everywhere. After finishing the story you will be put back in the Title Screen and can click Continue to spawn before the final cutscene. From there you can keep searching for Collectibles. After the story you will have all abilities and access to all map areas, so it will be easier to find your way around. During the story some regions can’t be fully explored on first visit and some Rots and Hats are story related rewards from later on. On the map there’s a collectible counter for each region that tracks how many collectibles you found of each type, except for Meditation Spots which aren’t tracked.
It’s recommended to keep the Village for last. This is because the area won’t be completely open just yet as you’ll need all 10 Spirit Mail to collect everything. This guide assumes that you’ve at least collected every other Spirit Mail from the other regions. Once you have all Spirit Mail collectibles, you can open up the entire area and grab whatever collectible is locked behind their gates.
For all other Regions, see Kena Bridge of Spirits Collectible Guide.

Stuck at 23/24 rot and I have all of these :/
Guessing it’s a bug but I spent 3 hours using 4 different guides and a video walkthrough to see what I missed. I guess I’m just gonna have to start over.
jorr1313 says
I have this same problem stuck at 23/24. I went through this guide multiple times and have everything.
Hamslammer says
For me it was Rot 3 I was missing, the archery challenge atop the building. I’m certain I did that, but apparantly I missed it.
Fildyhajo says
Same here… ??
Akhlys says
