Overview
So… this is probably going to ruin my gloating at figuring out how to get all the hats. I would like to keep it a secret amoung the 0.8% of us, but I love this game and the community too much.Here is what I’ve figured out about hats:
Different Kinds of Hats
There are three different types of hats: Unlockable Hats, Secret Hats, and Findable Hats
Unlockable Hats
These are the hats that you can simply buy from Hattori and consists of the majority of the hats.
Secret Hats
Everytime you COMPLETELY buyout all items from a NPC seller, you unlock a special hat (Ex: Ox and Cadence, Snails, Doug). This is how you get several of the hats.
The other “Secret Hats” needed to complete the Man of Hats achievement are listed below:
To unlock the Gambler–simply bet against Winchester in the Breach until you have no more bets against him.
To unlock the Baby, you must EXIT the gungeon at least 5 times.
To unlock the Sasaki, you have to EXIT the gungeon while wearing the Box hat.
To unlock the Incubator, you have to EXIT the gungeon as the Bullet while wearing the Link skin.
Findable Hats
You can unlock Findable Hats not via Hattori’s kiosk. You must find these in the breach.
You can find several hats in the tutorial (Start the tutorial, Disobey Sir Manuel REPEATEDLY, Complete the tutorial) and the other hats can be found by interacting with the two guards of the gungeon in the Breach and using Beastmode (talk to the left guard).
Bonus Help 😛
You unlock the items needed for challenges in the Golfing and Cannon minigames. The rat will have them in a balloon floating high in the screen. TO UNLOCK THE ITEM YOU MUST HIT THE ITEM, not the balloon. Enjoy 😀
