How to Get the Yotei Mask in Death Stranding 2 On the Beach

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach continues Sony's tradition of cross-game Easter eggs, and one of the most exciting is the Yotei Mask. This wearable cosmetic is a clear nod to the highly anticipated Ghost of Yōtei, the sequel to Sucker Punch's Ghost of Tsushima (scheduled for release on October 2, 2025). Fans of both franchises will be thrilled to know this isn't just a hidden texture; Sam can actually equip and wear this distinctive mask.However, acquiring the Yotei Mask requires significant progression and interaction with a specific character. This guide will show you how to get the Yotei Mask in Death Stranding 2.

How to Get the Yotei Mask in Death Stranding 2

The Yotei Mask is obtained through a questline involving a new prepper known as The Adventurer. This character plays a central role in locating the mask, but you'll have to progress quite far into the game before you can unlock his shelter and trigger the necessary events.1. Initial Introduction to The Adventurer (Order 21):

• After making your way through the Australian portion of Death Stranding 2, you'll eventually receive Order No. 21: "Rescue the Dowser's Friend from the Armer Survivalists." This mission becomes available at the F2 Delivery Terminal.
• Completing this order will be your first indirect introduction to The Adventurer, as you rescue a friend of the Dowser, who is connected to him. However, The Adventurer's own shelter won't be accessible at this point.

2. Unlocking The Adventurer's Shelter (Order 36):

• You'll need to continue playing through the main story until you are well into Episode 8.
• During this episode, you will receive Order No. 36: "Cross Snowy Peaks to Deliver Meteorite to The Adventurer." This order requires you to traverse a massive, challenging mountain range to reach his secluded shelter.
• When you arrive after completing Order 36, you'll discover that The Adventurer's Son is the only one in the shelter. His father, The Adventurer himself, is once again in need of rescuing, having gone missing in the perilous snowy mountains.

3. Rescuing The Adventurer (Order 37):

• The situation with The Adventurer's disappearance will lead directly into Order No. 37: "Rescue The Adventurer From the Snowy Mountains."
• This is a very tough order that sends you up the treacherous mountain peaks, often through blizzards and difficult terrain, to locate and rescue The Adventurer.
• Once you successfully complete Order No. 37, you'll have brought The Adventurer back to his shelter and be in the desired position to obtain the mask.

4. The Adventurer's Message and Cargo Delivery:

• After completing Order 37, continue playing; you'll likely be starting Episode 9 shortly thereafter.
• Keep an eye on your SSS (Social Strand System) notifications. You should soon receive a new message from The Adventurer.
• The message will typically include an image that is clearly a blacked-outmask, hinting at your reward. He will inform you that he wishes to giveyou a special token of gratitude for rescuing him twice, and mentionsthat you must bring him cargo to receive this reward.
• Any cargo will suffice: The wording of the message indicates that it doesn't need to be aspecific item. You can either look for a standard order destined for The Adventurer, or simply pick up any piece of Lost Cargo and deliver it to his shelter.
• Deliver the cargo: Once you deliver any cargo to The Adventurer's terminal after receiving his SSS message, the Yotei Mask will be unlocked.

Recommendation: While it may not be strictly required, it is highly recommended tocomplete this task as soon as you get the SSS message from TheAdventurer. This particular character has a penchant for getting intotrouble and constantly finding himself in need of rescuing. It iscurrently unclear if The Adventurer will head out on another perilousjourney if you don't collect the Yotei Mask immediately, or ifcollecting the mask triggers his next departure. Either way, it's saferto secure the mask right away if you're interested in adding this unique cosmetic to your collection.

How to Use the Yotei Mask:

Once unlocked, the Yotei Mask is considered face equipment.

• To equip it, hold Left on the D-Pad to bring up Sam's radial equipment menu.
• Hover over the upper left side of the radial menu to bring up the face equipment sub-menu (where you'd find sunglasses, the Harmonica, etc.).
• Scroll through the available items until you locate the "Yotei Mask" and select it to equip it.
