Kena: Bridge of Spirits Flower Shrine Guide

Kena: Bridge of Spirits, the gorgeous new Adventure title from Ember Lab, is now available to play and there's a lot to find. In this game, you play as Kena, a spirit guide, who is looking to find what's the cause of the corruption plaguing the land and to do that you need to explore, assist people with their problems, and find all kinds of useful collectibles along the way. In this Kena: Bridge of Spirits Flower Shrine Guide we'll go through how to find each of the Flower Shrines and how to purify them. This guide contains all Flower Shrine locations.

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. For each Flower Shrine that you successfully cleanse and interact with you'll gat a large sum of crystals, these can be used to purchase more hats for your Rots.

If you hit the Village Onsen Warp Point you've gone too far.
