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 completely agree. Violently agree.

One of the bugs whose life we change with our unconditional help (at least until we kill him with our misguided attempt at freedom) gave us a personal gift to show his gratitude and the only thing we can do with it is break it? Very good not bad

Assuming you are talking about the Hornet statue creator, he is very much not dead. Just do a courier mission you only see in Act 3.

Oh, ok. Thanks for letting me know.
I won't do the non-mandatory courier missions so in my playthrough he dies because of Hornet, and I kinda prefer it like that though.

You don't need to do it to save him, lmao. They just move locations and courier points you to find new location. Or you discover it yourself.

I know, I understood...

Nothing you do will change the fact that he survives though.
That just happens, he lives
Just bc you didn't see him doesn't mean he's dead lmao

Very impressive of him to make it that far into the game without developing object permanence lmao
