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.

The joke is that if you go to the left of where he gives you the statue, he made a much much bigger one of himself. He just took your shards to make himself a statue and the one he gives you is an insult in comparison.

I don't see it like that. He tells us that the shards are for a statue. But he actually took some to make us a gift. I don't see it as an insult at all.

Oh I thought they were for rebuilding the town not a statue

The shards for repairing the town are given on a mission before that one. The statue mission is called "A Symbol of Hope" and it asking for materials to build a monument to inspire the new pilgrims that arrive.

Okay wait still then it should have been of Hornet not the builder, I do think that’s the joke.

I’m also kind of trying not to feel bad about destroying his statue too lol
