How to get the Yotei Mask in Death Stranding 2?

The Yotei Mask isn’t just an Easter egg; it’s a full-on wearable tribute that fans of both Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding will love. Hidden deep in the narrative layers of DS2: On the Beach, this sleek collectible doesn’t come easy. But if you’re the kind who rescues, delivers, and never backs down, here’s how to get your hands on it.

When Can You Unlock the Yotei Mask in Death Stranding 2?

You’ll need to be well into the main storyline—specifically around Episode 8—before the Yotei Mask becomes obtainable. Don’t go searching in the early chapters. It simply won’t show up. Focus on progressing the story and keep an eye out for a prepper named The Adventurer—he’s the key to this unlock.

Step-by-Step Guide to Getting the Yotei Mask in Death Stranding 2

Follow these steps if you want to unlock the Yotei mask in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach:

Step 1: Reach Episode 8

By now, you’ve made it through the Australian terrain and unlocked a bunch of characters. Around this point, you’ll get Order 36, which sends you into the mountains with a meteorite delivery.

Step 2: Meet the Adventurer’s Son

When you deliver the meteorite to The Adventurer’s shelter, you’ll find only his son there. Surprise: dad’s missing again. You’ll now get Order 37, tasking you with yet another tough rescue mission.

Step 3: Complete Order 37

This mountain rescue is no joke—expect extreme weather, hostile terrain, and some solid BT action. But once you complete it, you’re on track. The Adventurer is grateful, and the wheels are now in motion.

Step 4: Wait for the SSS Notification

Once Order 37 is complete and you enter Episode 9, you’ll receive a message via the SSS (Shared Service System). The Adventurer sends you a cryptic note with an image of a masked figure and says he wants to reward you.

Step 5: Bring Him Any Cargo

Yep, literally any cargo. Doesn’t matter if it’s a lost package or a side order—just bring it to The Adventurer’s shelter. Once you do, he’ll reward you with the Yotei Mask.

While there's no official timer, many players believe delaying the delivery might reset the interaction or cause the Adventurer to leave. Best advice? Once you get the SSS message, grab any cargo and deliver it immediately.

How to Equip the Yotei Mask in Death Stranding 2?

Hold Left on the D-Pad, go to the Face Equipment section (same place as sunglasses or harmonica), and scroll until you find the Yotei Mask. Equip it and flex your connection to Sucker Punch's samurai legacy.

The Yotei Mask is more than just flair—it’s a nod to Sony’s interconnected universe and a reward for the most dedicated porters. Stay sharp, keep delivering, and wear that mask with pride.
