Masks Of Deception Basic Guide for Beginners

Posted on June 20, 2022
For new players of Masks Of Deception, this guide will explain to you items, strategies, and more important informations about the game, let’s check them out.

Purger

Your goal as the purger is simple: find evidence of the demon type, name, and the player!It’s actually a lot more simple than you think! So, you load into the lobby. Pick a mask you like. (Masks are just cosmetic!)

The next phase on the lobby screen is Item Master and they pick what tools you use! This is very important and can make or break your game.

Masks Of Deception Basic Guide for BeginnersThis is what loadout I like, but obviously try new things! Maybe you’ll find a neat strategy.

So you load into the match, you’re greeted with the spawn table. All players, including the demon, get a radio and a flashlight. Make sure to pick them up.
Grab things with the F key.
Use TAB to access your inventory. Some items need two hands while others do not.

Purger, contin.

If you hold the E key, you will get this VERY handy menu!

To the left, you have the emotions sense. Use this in paranormal spots!
To the top, you have knocking. Your right hand must be free to do this and you must be facing a wall. Keep in mind if multiple people knock, you don’t hear knocks back for evidence. You have to wait to hear them back, they are soft!
To the right, you have the smell sense. Use this in a paranormal zone. Grass and summer air are normal.
To the bottom of the menu, you have the search option. Stand in front of another player and use this to see their inventory. Press ESC to get out of that menu when you’re done. If the demon player has books, you will see them. Items that are being used will not appear.

Items

UVEDs

Masks Of Deception Basic Guide for BeginnersTo a purger, this is key to staying safe alongside the tablet. The UVED is placed and charged to create a protection zone. What does it protect you from? Shadow people. They don’t protect you from anything else other than them. So, that being said, it would be wise to listen for callouts from the tablet person (AKA command center).

Demon players can easily use these against the purgers! UVEDS can be picked up, hence stolen.

To charge a UVED, press the G key. Then spam click LEFT CLICK. Then when done, press the G key.

Tablet

Masks Of Deception Basic Guide for BeginnersTHE HOLY TABLET!! Nah, just kidding! But it is important! So, this tool is used for keeping other players safe and looking at GoCams, then of course seeing UVED batteries. This role is key to winning but also can be tricky if you distrust the tablet holder.

In a standard game, the tablet person gets a personal UVED and makes a spot as their “hiding place.” A roaming tablet person is also common, but they could be looking for demon books!

Note: The tools below find the DEMON TYPE. Not the name or the player.

Masks Of Deception Basic Guide for BeginnersA purger’s bread and butter! This helpful tool detects mG (AKA EMF) and temperature! When you hear the beep, there is a spike. Any idle reading is irrelevant.

Masks Of Deception Basic Guide for BeginnersA tool that is hard to understand, but it is actually simple! You must ask a sentence like “If there are any demons here, speak into this EVP recorder.” or any other 7 second long sentence. You will get an ear icon. You must wait till it is gone to get a reading. No one can speak, not even on radio during this process!

Masks Of Deception Basic Guide for BeginnersA simple camera to be placed on a wall! These are used to watch either the Demon Circle (which I will cover in the demon section) or a paranormal zone! This camera will show anomalies based on the demon type. To hanging bodies, fire, body bags, VHS effects, there are many things to see on this camera. Keep your eyes peeled!

Masks Of Deception Basic Guide for BeginnersThis tool is the easiest to learn. What is the color, if any? While in a zone it might light up with the associated color.

Masks Of Deception Basic Guide for BeginnersAnother simple lil tool. If the demon interacts with the candle, it’s evidence! If not, also evidence! It can be placed or held. Simply ask “If there is a demon, blow out this candle.” Be sure to be inside a zone.

A double handed camera used to find sigils on walls. Simple to use, but sigils are circular and dark. Be careful and use a keen eye while inspecting them!

Next, the DEMON NAME.

Not to be confused with the PLAYER playing demon. This is simply the second part of evidence finding.
You will find yellow glowing letters in the environment. These are directly linked to the demon name.
The second way to get letters is the ghost box.Masks Of Deception Basic Guide for Beginners This will spew out random nonsense till it says a letter.

Demon Player

Masks Of Deception Basic Guide for Beginners
The section most of you probably want to read.As a demon, you must play along with the other 5 players and get them to trust you, but also collect 3 demon books to access your power.

Pressing the Q key will give you a menu of your powers as you see here.
The left icon is a stealing ability. You must be near someone like when you item check someone as purger.
The bottom icon turns you invisible. It lasts a short while and then some, has a long cooldown. You can open doors while invisible.
The top icon is channel books into a circle. This is how you access demon mode to the right. While in demon mode you cannot open doors.

Demon circles are in random spots per game. Often teams will put cameras on them to see who the demon is!
When you have 3 books, simply stand over the circle and use the top icon to channel into demon mode.

Demon books spawn anywhere. They can be in cells, in the middle of a field, in towers, or in spawn. Only the demon player and dead players can see them and pick them up. The demon player will use this to their advantage!

Shadow People

The only true enemy in the game at the moment (besides the butcher) the Shadow people are a big problem if you don’t know how to face them. Which is not at all!

Purgers will be hunted by them. They will appear in front of you or in the corner of your vision. Be careful not to run into them. The first time you see them outside a UVED zone, they will point at you. Stay still and they till go away and return to a zone! You maybe have a minute to get to safety.

Shadow people do not spawn till a specific cue. Click here for a clip of that cue.[medal.tv] After this cue, they will hunt outside the UVED zones. The person with the tablet will / should tell you when you are safe, so listen to them!

Butcher

Masks Of Deception Basic Guide for Beginners

Probably one of the spooky threats you face. He spawns when the players do.
Sighted in either left guard tower and in prison halls plus boiler room. Close doors, do not look at him.
Demons cannot be killed by him.
