In this Kena: Bridge of Spirits Cursed Chest Guide we'll go over how to find each Cursed Chest and share some info about the challenge you'll face. This is a complete list.

In this guide, the locations will be listed in the order that you visit the regions. If there's a pre-requisite such as access to arrows we'll make sure to specify. From the map, you can tell how many of an item you do, or do not have, but it's going to take some searching to find specifically what you're after.

The Village is the central hub of Kena: Bridge of the Spirits and because of that, you'll spend a lot of time leaving and returning here with new weapons and powerups. All of the Spirit Mail found elsewhere in the world connects to opening up houses in this village.

• From the center of town look north, then find the side alley to the right. Midway down you'll see the cursed chest in plain view
• There are three Cursed Chests in the house immediately South-West of the Warp Point. You need to get Spirit Mail #1 from the Forgotten Forest to gain access.
  • First Chest: A timed challenge to kill a lot of the smaller enemies. The reward is a Rot.
  • Second Chest: A timed challenge to kill smaller enemies, one large enemy, and a few of the flying bugs. The reward is crystals.
  • Third Chest: A once again harder timed challenge. The reward is a Unicorn Hat.
• After crossing Adira's barrier head to the building to the south. Head as far south as you can go, near the purple gateway, and turn around. Tucked inside a little shop is another Cursed Chest. It's right next to the Village Docks Warp point. For this timed fight, you'll have to take on a Mage and a Sprout at once. Be careful of all the additional creatures the Mage can create. 
• After you can Dash (This is a late-game ability) you'll find this Cursed Chest through the gateway closest to the Shrine. You can't miss it. To complete this challenge you're not able to be hit. The last enemy you face will be transparent. In order to defeat him, you need to perform a parry.

Stand on the middle platform and shoot the Crystal on the raised ledge and the platform will raise up. At its peak jump across for this Cursed Chest. This is another timed chest, but it's just shooting flies out of the sky. Be sure to use your bow's bullet time.
