Summary
InSoulmask, the survival and crafting game developed by CampFire Studio, the mask you choose to wear will, in a sense, defines that entire character. Whatever skills you seek to be proficient in, whatever areas of the game you’d like to focus on, there is a mask that can help to bolster your abilities in ways both big and small for whoever you choose to use them on.
These effects boost certain skills to some extent, although not every mask has such a straightforward effect.Experimentation and discoveryare the key tools to finding the perfect mask for you, two abilities that you will need if you seek to collect every one.
10Nature Enlightenment
Mastery Over Animals
Nature Enlightenment is one of a few masks that must be found and repaired, and once this is done, it will endow the wearer with an enhanced ability when dealing with animals.
Animals can be captured and domesticated, a task in which this mask will greatly assist. If farming and everything that comes with it is your forte, then you will not want to miss out on this crucial mask.
9Ironblood Guard
Boosted Resistances And Stamina
Finding and repairing the broken Ironblood Guard will reward you with the mask of the same name, which in turn boosts both resistances along with your available stamina. These bonuses will assist you in more indirect ways, allowing you to further extend yourself with the aid of increased durability and the precious resource that is stamina.
As this will dictate how many actions you’ll be able to take, having more of it is always a worthwhile investment.
8Tactical Guidance
Better Deployed Tribesmen
Throughout your adventures in Soulmask, you will find yourself with the abilityto recruit NPCsin the form of Tribesmen, turning enemies to your side. The Tactical Guidance mask will help you in this pursuit, enhancing the stats ofyour deployed Tribesmen.
The better they are, the longer they’ll last, and the more effective they will be over all. If this is your preferred style of play, this mask will become indispensable to you.
7Torch Of Eternity
Keeps Wearer Alive When Injured
Where other masks enhance your abilities in some way, be they in combat, stealth, or managing your resources, the Torch of Eternity helps in another yet no less helpful way. This happens in a variety of ways, all focused around one thing: keeping you alive, and at the end of the day, that’s what really matters.
While this may seem at first to be an unnecessary crutch, the true value in this mask comes in the utility it has to offer.
6Rich
Boosts Archery
Rich is one of the three starting masks that are available to choose from at the beginning of the game, and the one that will assist you in the arts of archery. If you prefer picking enemies off from a distance in theoretical safety, then this is the mask for you.
It has a straightforward effect, enhancing a core ability of the game, so if you expect to be doing a lot of archery from the start then the choice is clear.
5Wilderness Mark
Boosts Archery And Hunting
For those with patience, however, and a more advanced interest in archery, the Wilderness Mark is an option that will only become available at a later point in the game.
This mask not only boosts your archery skill, but also that of hunting, the two serving complimentary purposes and making this mask even more useful for the type of play style that would benefit the most from these enhancements. The Wilderness Mask will enable you to become even more deadly with a bow, if you are willing to wait for it.
4Conquest
Boosts Stealth And Combat Techniques
Another of the three available starting masks, Conquest is the ideal pick for rogues of every sort. With bonuses enhancing your feasibility when engaging in the arenas of both stealth and combat, if you are expecting to do any sneaking then this is an easy choice.
Striking from the shadows is a tried and true strategy, and a foe that never saw you coming is a foe that much more easily dispatched. Some of these benefits will no longer apply in certain situations, but that does not diminish the upsides of this mask.
3Civilization
Boosts Stamina And Defense
Civilization, the last of the three starting masks you can choose from when starting the game, is in a sense the most basic of the three. This mask is an ideal choice for fighters, enabling greater levels of both stamina and defense.
With those stats in mind, it means that this mask is a robust, straightforward option for those not looking for anything fancy. It’s simple, and does what it says without too many frills, making it applicable to a wide variety of playstyles.
2Shadow Walker
Boosts Stealth And Damage
Do you desire even greater levels of stealth, and even more opportunities to dole out devastating amounts of damage? The Shadow Walker mask makes both of these a reality, endowing all who wear it with a bonus that anyone can appreciate: the ability to do more damage.
If that sounds simple, that’s because it is, and when paired with enhanced abilities in stealth makes for a particularly deadly, and useful, combination.
1Explorer
Resists Negative Statuses
The Explorer Mask is another mask that does not directly enhance your combat abilities in any way, instead focusing on invaluable bonuses to your survivability that can mean the difference between victory and defeat when no other mask would be able to help you.
This means that it excels in a large variety of situations, defending against negative statuses and the effects of harsh environments equally well.
