The Rot are timid spirits scattered throughout the forest that maintain balance by decomposing dead and rotting elements. Players locate and collect these companions, and discovering more of them unlocks new Rot abilities that can be used in combat.

- Explore hidden corners of the village to increase the variety of Rot you can recruit.
- Observe how each Rot’s ability interacts with enemies before committing to a particular companion.
