thank you! I had two left to get in Act 2 and I knew one was the rising lava bit and spent ages checking ones from this list that I *knew* I already had before I saw your comment

The mask shard in the Blasted steps can be accessed without silk soar with a little bit of movement. Go to the small elevation off the ground at the right of the lowest "step" (cannot be accessed with faydown cloack (double jump)), run, jump, clawline and use faydown cloack to reach this step, then it's just a matter of plateforming and doing the little gauntlet. This make you able to have 9 masks at the end of act 2 and gain a 10th one in act 3
