What does the Golden Mask do? Similar to the Red Mask that you can create in a 3D printer, you hold the equipped mask in front of your face. Cannibals are deterred by this. They think you are one of the bosses and leave you alone.
If you are not already in combat with the intrusive neighbors, it can prevent aggressiveness towards you.
However, the mask unfortunately cannot do anything against the enemy in your camp: Kelvin was once the hero in Sons of the Forest – But players now say: “Don’t trust him!”
