One of the Merchants that can be found in the Sanctuary hub is Emmit who is the Hat vendor. However, Emmit must first be rescued before you are able to purchase Hats from him. This How to Rescue Emmit guide will tell you how to go about doing this.
It is important that you rescue the merchant NPC known as Emmit as soon as possible as he sells Hats which are headgear that act as accessories that grant you bonuses to armor and give unique effects. To rescue Emmet in Loot River, you must find him in the First City, the second area in the game. As Loot River is uses procedural dungeons the exact location where you find him will be different each time. One place Emmit is known to frequently appear is at the center of the numerous platforms halfway through the area. When you successfully manage to rescue Emmit you will be awarded the Bravery achievement. Once Emmit has been rescued he will return to the Sanctuary Hub and you will be able to purchase Hats from him. The Hats that you buy can be equipped immediately. Keep in mind that in future runs, Hats are found as random drops from enemies, meaning you must rely on RNG (random number generator). Hats in Loot River have a variety of different effects, for instance the Coif of Remembrance randomizes your stats in your next run if you die while wearing it.
