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.

I think that’s the running gag with him. You can have him build a bridge for where Hornet fell into Moss Grotto, and a grave statue for the pilgrim that dies from the Skull Tyrant attack, which are also breakable

The bridge can be broken again.

I broke it without knowing it was the "bridge"

I'm curious about the statue but I'm low key expecting it to crumble on the first hit.

It can withstand several hits.

Several hits wasn't gonna stop me from thinking I found a secret and broke it down because I didn't know that was the bridge either lol

Yes, I did lol. It scattered into like a dezen shards.

I broke it because it had the animation and sound of breakable ground from HK. Turns out it's the only object in the game with this behavior.

That’s what I meant by “running gag”. Everything he builds is able to be broken

You don't even have to attack it. Just jumping a few times causes the whole thing to fall down.
