World Map

World Map, Kena: Bridge of Spirits Map

An interactive map of the world we can explore while playing Kena: Bridge of Spirits. We have marked on the map the locations where you can find Rots, Hats, Spirit Memories, Flower Shrines, Forest Tears, Cursed Chests, Meditation Spots or Spirit Mail.

The entire game world consists of several sub-regions, and they are: Ruins, Village, Taro's Tree, Rusu Mountain, Forgotten Forest, Storehouse, Fields, Village Heart and Mountain Shrine.

Note: A map of the game world will be made available in the game after completing the ruins, which are a kind of tutorial.

How to get a bow?

You will gain the bow shooting ability when you visit Rusu Mountain and talk to Rusu. This is part of the main storyline of the game.

The bow will allow you to shoot, which is obvious, as well as grapple yourself to blue flowers and thus get to places that were previously inaccessible.

Where to get a bomb?

You will learn the bomb ability from Hana when you meet her on your first visit to the Storehouse. You will reach that place about halfway through the game.
