In Hollow Knight: Silksong, you need all the help you can get to make it out alive from the bug-infested places. The game will get tougher as you progress into later areas. Having one more Mask can make all the difference between life and death, and that is where Mask Shards come into play. Collecting four Mask Shards will grant you one additional Mask for your health bar. Here we have put up all details for the 5 Mask Shards that you can find in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
As we continue to explore and progress in the game, we will revisit this list and update it as we find more Mask Shards.
Mask Shard #1 | Wormways
From the Bone Bottom area, take the elevator all the way to the top. Get off the elevator and head up until you are at the peak. Here, you need to get on the hanging steel cell on the left. And the only way to do it is by hitting the fly downwards in the air to launch yourself to the top of the steel cell.
Now jump to the other cell on the left, and you will arrive at the small hole on the left that will take you to the boss arena. You don’t have to defeat the boss; just use the platform as a cover from its projectile attacks. Once you get across the other side of the arena, get inside the door, and then make your way to the ground until you are on the water. Here, break the hidden wall on the right to access the second Mask Shard.
Mask Shard #2 | Bone Bottom
After defeating the Bell Beast, travel to Bone Bottom. Head to the village and then talk to Pebb. In the shop menu, you will find a Mask Shard described as: “Just a piece of something greater, but finely crafted. You should take it with you, traveller, for luck.”. It will cost you 300 Rosaries to get it.
Mask Shard #3 | Deep Docks
Requirement: You will need the Double Jump ability to get this one.
Get to the Bench located at the Marrow, northwest of the Deep Docks. Now make your way down and start moving to the right until you arrive at the Deep Docks area. Here, you must jump through plenty of hanging platforms, defeating enemies on the way to get to the arena and access the Mask Shard on the right.
Mask Shard #4 | Far Fields
Requirement: You will need Drifter’s Cloak, allowing you to glide in the air.
Leaving the Deep Docks area will take you to the Far Fields. Here, you have to do plenty of aerial platforming using the gushing wind from the ground or updraft to navigate to the platform on the left.
The first couple of updrafts will be wide open, as you will see wind blowing out of them, which you can use to launch upwards. After a while, you will come across some of the updrafts blocked with lava shells. Just break the shell to let the air out, which can then be used to propel yourself in a different direction. Just move towards the left of the area, and you will find yourself in a different room with a giant glowing bomb attached to the ceiling.
Hit the bomb with a couple of attacks by using updrafts to launch upwards, and it will drop and reveal a Mask Shard.
Mask Shard #5| Shellwood
From the Travel point of Shellwood, keep moving towards the right. It will take you to a new area, jump down on the platform, and go through the small hole on the right. This new area is filled with platforming challenges; all you have to do is use the downward pierce move on white flowers to jump and move to the right. Once you make it to the end, you will be awarded a Mask Shard.
