As safe as candy, AC/DC; at worst a corrupted save file (You did back that up, right? )

You can hack any item, though you'll need its code -- check out Wyvern's Emporium of Lost and Unobtainable ITEMS

This sort of "hacking" is completely safe if you make a backup of your save file before attempting to hack a particular item. It won't affect your computer - only your game file. The worst that can happen is that you will incorrectly do the item hack and you either won't have the item or that save file won't work and you'll need to restore your game with the backup (saved to a different directory).

It is necessary to have to have the correct code for the item needed. I collected the codes for a number of important items but certainly not all. The mask is one I did collect being one of those items that can sometimes disappear and having such importance to the game.

I've successfully hacked many items. I figured out how to do this when, in my first game, I was unable to find all the glowstones necessary in Collasium - a rare bug which can be corrected by other means than hacking.

I believe the code I saved for the mask is after it has been enchanted with the 5 evil elements.

This is a basic substitution hack - replacing some junk item in your inventory for the item you need. I've hacked all sorts of items so I know that it works well. If you haven't done this sort of thing before the instructions may seem a bit strange but it's actually fairly easy.

I wanted to add one thing back in... if you're trying to find out where you might have dropped the mask, be sure to cast the Spirit Eye spell. That will highlight all dropped objects on the map, and will reduce the amount of time you have to spend searching.

Otherwise, good luck in the game-hacking department [img]smile.gif[/img]

The other option would be to restore your game to a previous save wherein you still had the mask. Depending on how often you save and if you save in multiple slots - that may be just a small way back or quite a long way back. I personally have found replaying stretches of the game to be worthwhile.

That will also highlight monsters as well though. So just look for the red dots that aren't moving

[Bungleau]

Good point, Lord. In my game, monsters are red dots, and treasure (like lost masks) are white dots.

Also... some white dots just appear... and you can never find what they are refering to... I have had that happen to me so many times... the maps says there is treasure there... but there is nothing on the ground, air, um... yea...
