In Hollow Knight: Silksong, Mask Shards are collectible items that increase Hornet’s maximum health, with four shards combining to form one additional health mask. Gathering all 20 shards scattered throughout Pharloom allows Hornet to reach a maximum of 10 health masks. Some shards can be found early, while others require progression, new abilities, or access to later areas of the game.
