These masks can be earned in a variety of different ways, from thegame’s many side queststo turning in badges at the local Maskcaster. Some are quite easy to find, while others can prove elusive to even the most dogged explorer. Here’s how each mask compares in terms of how hard it is to acquire.
14The Child’s Mask
The Child’s Mask is by far the easiest mask to find, asevery player starts the game with it equipped. While not the most elegant mask, it does feature prominently in the early game as the only one to which players have access.
It’s in the Child’s Mask that Sable earns her Gliding ability and assembles the pieces for her jetbike, Simoon.Shedding the Child’s Mask signifies Sable’s new status as a Gliderand begins her journey in earnest, though players can always re-equip it if they’re feeling nostalgic.
13The Ibexii Mask
The second mask Sable earns in the game, the Ibexii Mask, symbolizes a new beginning for the young hero. The Ibexii Mask is gifted to Sable by the leader of her tribe, Jadi, as a present to celebrate the beginning of her Gliding.
Taking off her Child’s Mask is a big moment in the young Ibexii’s life, andthe blank, white skull of her new mask signifies an infinite possibility for the future. As her Gliding commences, Sable ventures beyond the borders of her homeland and out intoa rich, vibrant open-worldto find her true calling, whatever that might be.
12The Merchant’s Mask
The Merchant’s Mask can be bought, making it one of the easier masks to acquire. A merchant named Iria in the town of Eccria will offerMerchant Badges at the steep price of 100 cuts per badge.
The price may seem prohibitive at first, but cuts come quickly especially fordiligent explorers keen on uncovering every secret.After buying three badges, players can turn them to acquire the Merchant’s Mask.
11The Cartographer’s Mask
The Cartographer’s Mask is one of the easier masks to find in the game,requiring only a decent set of climbing skills and 150 cuts. A Cartographer can be found in each region of Midden, and their balloons make them easy to spot from a distance overSable’sbarren wasteland of a world.
Players can purchase asingle Cartographer’s Badge for 50 cuts from each Cartographer,and after buyingthree, canreturn to the Maskcaster for the Cartographer’s Mask.
