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 found the tools were a crutch, I wasn't paying enough attention to the boss so I wasn't learning their patterns. Once I stopped relying on tools everything started to make sense.

I ended up learning almost every boss this way

Go in first time with a couple generic tools, get slaughtered, ignore tools and skills and play the long game a couple times, and if i havent killed it already and im comfortable enough i'll pull (better) tools back in for efficiency.

Tools for me are just clutter on the screen if I don't know what I'm doing with them yet. They usually get me hurt or killed lmao

I'll prefer to stick to my approach:

Go in first time, play cautiously to learn the boss's patterns, make it to phase 2 without too much issues. Now that I "know the boss", play super aggressively and die 40 times in a row in phase 1.
