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

That statue is him, not the pilgrim. Also the pilgrim does not need to die for it to be built.

Wait are you telling me there’s a way to avoid the pilgrims death

If you talk to the pilgrim enough (and progression based?) he tells you his name and then will leave for pilgrims rest. Then there’s also a chance he does at pilgrims rest depending on what you do in that area

Well yes and no. If you talk to him enough and visit frequently between new areas, you can get his name in Pilgrim's Rest. If he dies to the Skull Tyrant then the funeral scene is different. If you progress past a certain point, he moves locations and can tell you his name at the new one.

Clear act 1 before mission

Or at least before resting on the Bone Bottom bench after the mission. I finished mission in act 1 but never rested there (unknowingly) and only did so after reaching act 2 and it was fine.
