The “Liquid Lacquer” quest in Hollow Knight: Silksong provides you with another difficult delivery task. There are many possible paths, but simply looking at our Silksong interactive map may not be enough to find the optimal route from Bellhart to the Mask Maker.
But not to worry; this guide will show you the best delivery route to complete the “Liquid Lacquer” quest in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
‘Liquid Lacquer’ quest location in Hollow Knight: Silksong
Visit Bellhart and speak with the courier brothers Tipp and Pill to start the “Liquid Lacquer” quest. Beware that this quest is only unlocked if you meet the following requirements:

‘Liquid Lacquer’ quest walkthrough in Hollow Knight: Silksong
“Liquid Lacquer” is a delivery quest. Starting from Bellhart, you must travel to the Mask Maker on Mount Fay without using fast travel — similar to the previous delivery quests. Like before, the Liquid Lacquer has a durability meter, so avoid getting hit by enemies or sprinting into walls. If that happens a third time, the durability meter shall be depleted, and you’ll have to start over.
To make this delivery a tad easier (though it’s still very hard), “Liquid Lacquer” isn’t timed, so you can take as long as you like.
There are many routes leading from Bellhart to the Mask Maker in Mount Fay, but the one we recommend leads through Shellwood and the Grand Gate.
Before you attempt to make the delivery, it’s best to make the following preparations:
Climb to the top of Mount Fay and collect the Faydown Cloak (unlocking double jump). From there, slide down the mountain to the left, and after the first slope (halfway down), take the narrow path to the left to meet the Mask Maker, so you already know where to go.
Unlock the passage through the Grand Gate.
Unlock the passage from the Citadel Spa Ventrica Station to The Slab.
Equip the Ascendant’s Grip so you can hang onto walls indefinitely, which will make the parkour sections far easier. It’s sold by Jubilana in Songclave after completing “The Wandering Merchant”.
We highly recommend completing the full route without carrying the Liquid Lacquer first, to ensure you’ve opened all the necessary passages.
When you’re ready, leave Bellhart and go west into the Shellwood, where you should cross the lake and jump across the smaller pond with the four white flowers. In the next room, take the path upward, above the bench sign.
Watch out for the poisonous flowers here! Take the top left exit, then continue west, passing the Shellwood Bellway Station.
In the Blasted Steps region, take the path upward at the first opportunity; it will lead you into a large sandy area. Notice how the screen darkens and the wind becomes stronger every few seconds? Be careful not to jump against the strong wind, as you might land in the sandy worm pits.
Leave through the exit in the top right into the large vertical chamber, and leave through the top right again where you’ll end up in the Grand Gate region.
Proceed east into the grand chamber with the scale platforms. Jump to the balcony at the top right of this room, and hit the wall to reveal a secret passage:
Follow the path up (hit the ceiling) to enter the Choral Chambers, and continue upward, but be sure to stick to the left. As soon as you leave the vertical passage, walk left past the Choral Chambers Ventrica Station:
Keep moving upward until you reach the large bridge leading into The Slab. After crossing this bridge, drop down to The Slab Bellway Station.
Continue west into Mount Fay. Instead of crossing the pond inside the mountain, jump up and leave through the slightly higher exit on the right. From here, you’ll need to parkour your way to the top of Mount Fay.
About halfway up the wind current near the top of Mount Fay, continue to the left:
Slide down the slope on the mountain’s left side, but be ready to jump across the spikes! You will land about halfway down the mountain. Do not drop further down just yet! Instead, take the narrow path to the left, as this will lead you straight to the Mask Maker.
Speak with the Mask Maker to complete Hollow Knight: Silksong’s “Liquid Lacquer” quest.
