Cha-Cha Masks

Cha-Cha Masks

You can signal Cha-Cha by first pressing the Select button to bring up the Hunter menu and then pressing the Start button. This is how you'll trigger the abilities of certain masks.

Some mask abilities require you give an item to Cha-Cha. To do so, open your hunter's Item Pouch, select the item you want to give to Cha-Cha and select the “Give” option at the bottom. Not all items can be given to Cha-Cha, so this option may be greyed out.
