REANIMAL: The Prisoner DLC – Pumpkin Head and Astronaut Head Mask Locations

Both new masks are hidden inside the mall, and one needs the Instant Camera to grab.

Both new masks are hidden inside the mall, and one needs the Instant Camera to grab.

The Prisoner expansion for REANIMAL adds two collectible masks that you find by exploring rather than buying, and both are tucked away inside the same location. The “Pumpkin Head” and “Astronaut Head” masks sit inside the derelict shopping mall, which is the first major area of the DLC. One is available almost immediately, while the other needs a tool you pick up during the mall’s main path.

Quick answer: Both masks are in the mall. Get the Pumpkin Head early by heading right after the revolving doors and reaching a pile of trash outside a store. Get the Astronaut Head later by using the Instant Camera to photograph an astronaut suit inside an arcade so its helmet drops.


Pumpkin Head mask location

This is the first mask you can reach, and it takes only a small detour at the entrance of the mall.

Push through the war-torn streets at the start of the DLC until you enter the abandoned mall through its revolving doors.
Ignore the staircase in front of you. Instead, turn right and keep moving north along the walkway.
Look for a pile of trash heaped in front of one of the storefronts. The Pumpkin Head mask sits on top of the pile, ready to pick up.

Astronaut Head mask location

The second mask is also inside the mall, but you need to progress further and have the Instant Camera in hand. The camera is one of the new tools introduced in the DLC, and you retrieve it through the boutique’s mannequin key puzzle before this point.

Continue through the mall until you turn on the sprinklers to put out the fire. This opens the way into the atrium.
Climb the tank in the atrium and rotate its cannon to the left so the barrel points where you need to go.

Walk out along the cannon barrel, then jump to grab the ledge above. Once you pull yourself up, interact with the store’s shutters to enter the arcade.
Inside the arcade, use the Instant Camera to snap a photo of the astronaut suit. The flash knocks its helmet loose, dropping it onto the floor.
Pick up the fallen helmet to add the Astronaut Head mask to your collection.

How to confirm and equip the masks

Each mask is added to your collection the moment you pick it up. To check that both registered, pause the game and open the Masks menu, where you can equip either one on your own character or on your companion.

If the Astronaut Head does not appear, the most common reason is not having the Instant Camera yet, since the helmet only drops when you photograph the suit. Make sure you have completed the mannequin key puzzle and picked up the camera before reaching the arcade, then the mask becomes available.
