Here’s the very first test footage of Merlin’s Hat pickup sequence. It’s a very easy early pickup in the game, where all the other stuff is in the back of the shop. Now, if you decide to take the hat off, merely return to the body selection chamber and select a body without a hat. Boots of Speed are a whole different story. Haven’t gotten to them yet.
