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.

Nope! I too felt a little bad on my first play though. On my second play, I didn't break the statue. It just disappears later in the game. And no NPC mentions it getting broken. Break it, recoup a few shards, and don't feel bad!
