What's the point for the Mask Maker?
Does he do something? Can he change my characters mask:hollowknight:? Or is he only there to provide some story?

Story is all he's good for. May have a bigger role in future DLC tho who knows

Lore. He says some some interesting things if you have the King's Brand. And you can knock his mask off by ground pounding in front of him, after which he'll say some other interesting things.

But no, you never have to talk to him.

Then the devs are missing on an opportunity here. Would be awesome if you could customize your character with him as a vendor, or maybe have multiple interchangeable masks with different effects, similar to the charms, something like the "happy mask salesman" of "Majoras Mask".

I agree that they should do something with this character as he has a potential for being a possibly useful character in the future.

Weird seeing my thread being brought to life after 5 years... But I agree with you, I would have love to see at least some customization. Also another idea, having masks that give some kind of attribute like in the N64 zelda games, so one that give extra speed, another extra damage, things like that. :hollowknight::hollowknight::hollowknight::hollowknight::hollowknight::hollowknight:

Yes. Using the Descending Dark or the other white version will blow his mask off, revealing his face. He will then talk to you, albeit in very cryptic terms, referring to some additional lore backgrounds regarding the mask and its connection to identity etc.

Btw, Mask Maker will change his mask every time you leave and re-enter the room. For gameplay reasons this is so the players eventually notice the mask and would try to interact with it.

I do think that this is an interesting concept, but I don't think anything will ever come of it.

Being able to buy custom masks from the mask maker is really cool and kind of a missed opportunity in my opinion.

It'd be a neat feature but it'd also change the look of the entire character and I'm not sure Team Cherry wants that.

agreed, @Hotel Security.
