In nextReality Games' Roblox exploration title Abyssal, masks represent one of four primary cosmetic item types alongside wings, horns, and dyes. Players acquire masks across the game's seven floors by spending Abyssal Energy (AE) at world pedestals, unlocking high-tier Echo doors, conquering timed Challenge Rooms, completing Sid Follower trials, or buying Robux cosmetic sets.
How Mask Types Work in Abyssal
Masks in Abyssal do not alter movement physics or platforming speed, but they serve as key collectible milestones on the Available Collectibles board at the end of the game. Certain masks can also be repurposed for your companion Witness or applied as a custom player Sigil.
- Normal Map Masks: Positioned on pedestals or hidden ledges across floors. Most require a set amount of Abyssal Energy to claim once discovered.
- Challenge Masks (Visages): Earned exclusively by clearing Sid Follower Secret Challenges without using mobility skills or checkpoints.
- Echo Room Masks: Locked behind heavy Echo thresholds, requiring players to search previous floors before opening doors containing rare gear.
- Challenge Room Masks: Located in distinct puzzle chambers that demand specific traversal abilities such as High Jump, Hover, or Dash.
- Gamepass Sets: Available directly from the in-game shop menu for Robux, packaged alongside matching wings.
- Seasonal Masks: Time-limited cosmetics tied to annual seasonal events.
Sid Follower Secret Challenge Masks (Visage Series)
The Visage masks are tied directly to Sid Followers, distinct NPCs wearing masks identical to the Visage of Cruelty who spawn at the beginning of previously cleared floors. To earn a Visage mask, you must speak to the Sid Follower at the Abyssal Sanctum Market, accept the trial, and climb continuously to the designated floor's ending pillar without using abilities, double jumps, time rewinds, or teleporting. Teleporting to any checkpoint immediately forfeits the run.
Completing a Secret Challenge awards a specific Visage series mask on your first clear, along with a bonus of 1,000 AE multiplied by the target floor number.
| Challenge Goal | Ending Landmark | Visage Mask Reward | AE Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floor 2 Secret Challenge | Floor 3 Ascent Pillar | Visage of Apathy | 2,000 AE |
| Floor 3 Secret Challenge | Floor 4 Ascent Pillar | Visage of Sorrow | 3,000 AE |
| Floor 4 Secret Challenge | Floor 4 Ending Pillar | Visage of Joy | 4,000 AE |
| Floor 5 Secret Challenge | Floor 5 Ending Pillar | Visage of Rage | 5,000 AE |
| Floor 6 Secret Challenge | Floor 6 Ending Pillar | Visage of Astonishment | 6,000 AE |
The Floor 1 Secret Challenge only grants 1,000 AE and does not award a Visage mask. An additional mask in this design family, the Visage of Cruelty, is worn directly by Sid Followers.
Echo Room Mask Rewards
Collecting Echoes across the Abyss grants entry into hidden chambers sealed by collective Echo milestones. These doors safeguard high-tier cosmetic sets and specialty masks.
| Echo Requirement | Room Location | Mask / Cosmetic Contents | Room Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Echoes | Floor 3 Ascent (below Eclipse / bandit hideout) | Mask of Possession | Also yields Wings of Possession and 1 Echo; requires Dash to traverse. |
| 45 Echoes | Bottom of Purple Tower (via secret chamber & SATU) | Mask of Vision | Contains little else besides the Mask of Vision. |
| 50 Echoes | Abyssal Sanctum Market (VIP corner door in starter shop) | Echo Mask | Grants the Insight Set, VIP white dye, and a SATU to the witness Icarus. |
| 60 Echoes | Floor 7 (Abyssal Archives across fallen log & rope) | Scholar's Mask | Contains the Scholar Set (except Horns of the Scholar B). |
An 85 Echo room exists on Floor 7, but game documentation notes that only 82 Echoes exist in the Abyss, leaving that specific chamber inaccessible through normal play.
Ability Challenge Room Masks
Challenge rooms are standalone platforming gauntlets introduced in updates from Floor 6 onward. These rooms frequently restrict time rewinds and demand mastery of specific movement abilities to reach the cosmetic at the end.
| Floor | Challenge Room Type | Location & Height | Ability Requirement | Mask Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Floor 3 | Solo Jump | Below reflecting pool under Bridge of Connection | Any / No ability | Darkrift Mask |
| Floor 4 | Hover Trial | Past Floor 4 Ascent conveyors toward large orb (822m) | Hover | Hood of Loss |
| Floor 4 | High Jump Pipe | Under Refinery Overlook inside large pipe (917m) | High Jump | Little Demon Mask |
| Floor 5 | Awakened Tempest | Under City Overlook, platform below conveyors (2,054m) | Legendary Dash | Echo Moon Mask |
| Floor 6 | Dash Gauntlet | Broken bridge from Tenebria checkpoint toward bubble column | Dash / Hover / High Jump / 2-player Glide | Ocean Moon Mask |
| Floor 6 | Sprint Trial | West of Tenebria past water conveyor (2,933m) | Sprint / Hover / High Jump | Circlet of Life |

The Crescent Crest Mask given by Trinity costs 10 AE.
