Strategies[]
This monster and its variations, carrying a big mask that entirely covers its front, can only be defeated by attacking its rear. When it sees the player, it'll try to charge towards the player in order to hit him. Fortunately the Masked Tribesman's speed is slower than Max or Monica's, and the attack is easily blocked. If the player blocks while he gets "hit" by the Masked Tribesman, the monster will fall down shortly after. In this time the player can get behind the tribesman and deal attacks. Using this strategy the player can kill the tribesman without any trouble.
It has a second attack when the player is close enough. It will make a 'bite' attack using the mask mouth. This attack is quite slow but can pierce the player's block. For a very slight moment, this monster becomes vulnerable to attack through its 'mouth', but this lasts only a split second.
