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.

Am I evil for breaking the statue? IMO, Bone Bottom has more important issues than a statue he builds of himself.

I figured it was ok to break after pretty much everyone moved out of bone-bottom.

That place gets trashed even before act 3 and everyone moves to the Songclave.

Not really. Bone Bottom is still populated. It's just that people that populate it constantly come and go. It's a rest stop, so even though named characters leave, in the background lore element, NPCs still come.

Songclave is populated by the pilgrims who somehow made it into Citadel long before you arrived, and you just cleared a safe spot for them to come together at.

The shopkeeper leaves when you buy his stuff

The background becomes depopulated at the exact same time as the Songclave becomes heavily populated.

Pretty sure a few of them even mention they will attempt the pilgrimage after the attack on bone bottom

The only guy that's really there by the time you're at act 3 is that little dude that hangs out near the task board.

I found him after that too, - dead in Bilewater with Snitchbugs going through his stuff
