“The Voice Behind the Mask” is one of the Exploration Codex quests for the Sandworm Lair region in Throne & Liberty.

It starts with you finding a strange talking mask that promises to grant you greater power. However, the mask won’t just give it to you without a test! You’ll also need to overcome all of the mask’s trials if you wish to claim the so-called greater power it offers.

In this guide, we’ll help you through every step of this quest so that you can show that pesky talking mask how strong you are!

Start Location | Throne & Liberty - The Voice Behind the Mask Exploration Codex Guide

To start the “Voice Behind the Mask” Exploration Codex quest in Throne & Liberty, head directly north of the Sandworm Lair Waypoint in Stonegard. We’ve marked the exact location you have to reach on the map above.

Grappling Points in the area

To get there, you can use the grappling points near the Waypoint. You have to reach the top of a rocky overhang in the area.

Once you reach the top of the overhang, interact with the Mysterious Mask on the ground. It will speak to you and tell you to follow a light if you wish to seek greater power.

Example orb of light

Now, many orbs of Guiding Light will appear around the area. Interact with them to make a beam of light appear, telling you where to go to reach an Unknown Rift.

However, to make things much simpler, you can just use a Glide Morph to glide down into the ravine below and go all the way north to reach the Unknown Rift faster. We’ve marked the exact location of the Unknown Rift in the ravine on the map above.

For further reference, the image above shows what the Unknown Rift looks like from up close! Approach it and enter it to continue with the quest.

The Mask’s Trials

Trial 1 | Throne & Liberty - The Voice Behind the Mask Exploration Codex Guide

As soon as you enter the Unknown Rift, the mask will speak directly to you and present you with some trials. The first one is a platforming and memorization trial. Look at the square platforms above and memorize them, then jump across. The trick is that the path will be obscured by more platforms appearing, so you have to remember the path from before.

However, you don’t need to memorize anything if you don’t want to. Just use the screenshot above as a reference for which platforms you can step on. The pattern seems to be the exact same for every player!

Teleport Magic Circle 1

Reach the circular platform at the end of the path and a Teleport Magic Circle will appear. Interact with it once you’re ready for the next trial!

Trial 2 | Throne & Liberty - The Voice Behind the Mask Exploration Codex Guide

The second trial is much more straightforward than the first: survive the sandstorm for 30 seconds. All you have to do is avoid the sand tornados all over the area. Be careful to not make any unnecessary moves as you dodge them, but it should be pretty easy to complete.

Teleport Magic Circle 2

Just like before, a Teleport Magic Circle will spawn when you complete the trial. Take it when you’re ready for the next one.

Trial 3 | Throne & Liberty - The Voice Behind the Mask Exploration Codex Guide

Now, the last trial: defeat Ancient Crystal Scorpions! This is as straightforward as you probably assumed. You just need to take down the enemies that appear to complete the trial. They’re not too tough, either. However, do watch out for the Ancient Crystal Scorpion’s sandstorm attack, as it can quickly decimate your HP.

Ending the Trials

Teleport Magic Circle 3

As soon as you take down the Ancient Crystal Scorpion, look for another Teleport Magic Circle. It will spawn near you after the fight, take it to claim your rewards.

The teleport will take you to a new area with two interactable items on small pedestals. First, interact with the Ancient Writing to read Hale Verpheus’ Letter. Then, speak with Dantalux Guardian’s Pledge. You will reappear back by the Sandworm Lair Waypoint as soon as you interact with both items.

Well, there you have it, that’s how you complete the “The Voice Behind the Mask” Exploration Codex quest in Throne & Liberty!

Venezuelan gamer cursed by being interested by most games, resulting in a ridiculous backlog he’ll never be able to conquer. Been gaming for over two decades now! Few things exemplify his wide variety in gaming tastes as the fact that he’s a big fan of both Souls games and the Atelier series at the same time. Also a big fan of Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Deadly Premonition, Zero Escape, and Dead Rising, among others. Considers Lost Judgment and Sekiro to both be masterpieces.
