Mask Shard
Mask Shards raise Hornet's maximum health in Silksong: four shards add one mask, with twenty in the game.
- Effect
- +max health
- Math
- 4 = +1 mask (20 total)
A Mask Shard is a fragment of Hornet's health bar. Collect four and you gain one full extra mask, and with twenty scattered across Pharloom you can raise your maximum to ten masks. They are tucked behind exploration, bought from merchants like Pebb, and handed out by some questlines. Tracking them down is the most direct way to survive Silksong's harder bosses. See Mask Shards & Silk Hearts for the full upgrade picture.
