This page will offer a walkthrough on the DLC side quest EX Strange Mask Rumors. This hidden treasure is a part of the first DLC, which is available by purchasing the Expansion Pass for Breath of the Wild.
How to Start EX Strange Mask Rumors¶
To begin this quest, you’ll need to find clues to the whereabouts of the Strange Mask. The journal you’re looking for is found at Woodland Stable, which is located on the border between Eldin Canyon, Hyrule Field and the Great Hyrule Forest. You’ll get a clue about the Strange Mask from the Super Rumor Mill EX journal on a table inside the stable.

EX Strange Mask Location¶
The journal will give you a clue that says that the “treasure chest containing the Korok Mask is hidden in the hollow of a terrifying tree in a forest that causes those who enter to lose their way. Find that forest and locate the treasure chest! It also seems there’s a convenient way to search for it…”. If you’ve already been to see the Koroks in the Forest then you’ll have made your way through the Lost Woods before. Essentially, to make your way through the Lost Woods, you’ll need to walk in the direction that the wind is heading, which is indicated via the way the flames are pointing.
When you first enter the Lost Woods, you’ll have to follow the fire in lit sconces, but when you reach the final two lit sconces, and from there you’d usually be required to continue the journey into the woods with a torch. However, to reach the treasure, you’ll need to instead head in the direction that the two sconces’ flames are pointing. This will take you slightly to the left, and you’ll want to keep walking slowly with a row of trees closely on your left until you reach two trees in close proximity to each other. Make sure you don’t stray too far as the mist will cause you to begin again. Once you’ve found those two trees, use Magnesis to locate the chest, which is stuck in the larger tree. Upon looting it, you’ll discover the Korok Mask, which acts like the Shrine Sensor but for Korok Seeds! Super handy for the completionist who wants to collect all 900 Seeds!
