Hey there! So, you're diving into the world of Ghost of Tsushima and wondering about those cool hats, right? Let's talk about 'em. They're called Hats in the game, and they're purely for looks – think of them as cosmetic flair for Jin Sakai. You'll find a total of 31 of them scattered throughout Tsushima. They don't give you any stat boosts or anything, but hey, looking good while you're fighting Mongols is important! How to Get Your Hands on Hats There are a few ways you'll snag these stylish headpieces: * Completing Tales: Some Hats are rewards for finishing specific side stories, known as Tales. Keep an eye out as you progress through Jin's Journey and the Tales of Tsushima. * Armor Upgrades: Yep, upgrading certain armor sets will unlock some sweet-looking Hats. So, if you're looking to complete your look, investing in your gear is key. * Exploration: This is a big one! Many Hats are hidden out in the open world. You'll need to explore thoroughly. While the map won't point them out directly, the Guiding Wind and the Golden Songbird can help you find vanity gear, which includes these Hats. * Merchants: Some vendors will have Hats available for purchase. Make sure to check their stock whenever you visit a merchant. * New Game+: If you're really dedicated, you can find even more Hats by playing through the game again in New Game+. Important Note: The game won't mark the exact locations of these Hats on your map. You'll need to rely on exploration and those helpful in-game guides like the Guiding Wind.
