The Mask is an item found in the Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare DLC pack.
Background[]
The mask appears to be the cause of the Undead plague in Undead Nightmare, after it was removed from the catacombs beneath Escalera by Abraham Reyes. After it is later on returned by John Marston, the world then reverts to its original state. However, it is stolen by Seth Briars sometime after 1911 which leads to a new outbreak, resurrecting the Undead including Zombie Marston.
Characteristics[]
The mask itself is made of green-colored stone, possibly jade or emerald, and appears to be an ancient Aztec design.
Location[]
Abraham Reyes finds this ancient Aztec mask deep within the catacombs under the mansion in Escalera (his current residence). John Marston stumbles upon the Mask when he enters Reyes' home during "A Civilized Man". It is here that Ayauhtéotl entices him to open a case that is lying on a table in front of him, which holds the mask.
Trivia[]
- It is visually based on a Mesoamerican Jade Olmec Mask, made sometime around 900 to 400 B.C.E.
- In Red Dead Redemption 2, it can be seen on a shelf at the Fence in Saint Denis, a display in the Saint Denis Market, and at Old Man Jones's camps as an easter egg or possibly due to the asset being reused.
- A painting depicting Ayauhtéotl holding the mask appears in The Diamond Casino Heist update for Grand Theft Auto Online.[1]
