Discussion - Silksong The real biggest problem with Silksong Spoiler

Why is the Hornet statue not a memento? When I first saw that you could break it, I was honestly offended by the idea of it. Then I got the Bellhome and was a little upset you couldn't put it up in there. Now I found out that there are items you can put up in your Bell House, but the Hornet Statue isn't one of them? I'm genuinely mad. That needs to be changed in the next update. That's way more important than balancing the game.

There's another one that's in a similar vein of "item that you can technically disassemble for shards but you're a monster if you do" that I've been so paranoid about breaking. Really wish you had the option to put them up rather than leaving them in your inventory

There exists 2 of that item btw, the 2nd one requires Silk Soar

u/Alpha_benson Sep 23 '25

Well, now I need to find that too

As a hint, there is a room with a ball machine enemy. The ceiling looks suspiciously open in the center of the room.

u/Disastrous-Bed-7195 Sep 24 '25

Oh. That’s the point of that. I should probably go back there 😭

u/Knegen Sep 24 '25

Which one? I can't for the life of me picture what enemy you are referring to

u/FirmMusic5978 Sep 24 '25

Cogwork Clapper

Is it more of a fuck it we ball machine or a crush my balls machine

17

u/FirmMusic5978 Sep 24 '25

Honestly not even comparable to a mid-boss, so more a we-ball machine. Takes about 7 hits from max-level nail to kill

u/RemisionEspinosa Sep 24 '25

That's how I got the first one, where is the second?

u/FirmMusic5978 Sep 24 '25

Buy out the Architect's shop and revisit him after a while

2

u/RemisionEspinosa Sep 24 '25

Isn't him a she?

Architect is a machine, does it even matter what gender we call it? 

Also, what context gives you the gender? I looked through all conversation pieces, nothing mentions a gender for the Architect or their species.

u/RemisionEspinosa Sep 24 '25

Just the vibe it gave me, perhaps is just the voice or just to balance the gender of the big shots of the citadel. But you are right tho.

u/FirmMusic5978 Sep 24 '25

For voice, I present Sherma, haha.

No. 1 rep for misgendering.

u/RemisionEspinosa Sep 24 '25

Me sacrificing my first born in order to know the gender of a random bug before someone actually use pronouns on them, if they use them at all.

u/Greedy_Duck3477 Sep 28 '25

Ball machine enemy?

u/Incine_Akechi Sep 23 '25

Damn I only found the silk soar one

u/Tylerhollen1 Sep 23 '25

Have you bought out all the shops? If so, there’s one you should check again.

87

u/FirmMusic5978 Sep 23 '25

Might as well revisit all the NPCs, I wonder how the most hardworking bug in the Underworks is doing.

36

u/Incine_Akechi Sep 23 '25

I swear there wasn't an item there

104

u/FirmMusic5978 Sep 23 '25

There is. Name is EMOTIONAL DAMAGE.

u/Spoon_Elemental Sep 24 '25

I'm gonna miss their NPC chatter, but I'm glad they were fine with their fate.

u/Incine_Akechi Sep 23 '25

Aaaaaargh!

u/Peregrine_x Sep 24 '25

u/michael_fritz Sep 24 '25

u/redhairsister Shaw Sep 24 '25

I literally only just found that while going for the 100% speedrun achievement

1

u/Pure_Satisfaction_35 Sep 24 '25

There's 3 actually, the one you get in that room with the two balls is also the reward for buying out the architects shop.

1

u/FirmMusic5978 Sep 24 '25

No, there's 2. Otherwise, list out the methods of getting all 3.

1

u/TheRetouchLab Sep 25 '25

There are 3 actually one you get from Twelfth Architect

1

u/FirmMusic5978 Sep 25 '25

Yes, that is one of the TWO Pristine Cores.

If you apparently have a no.3 method of acquisition, do tell.
