Elden Ring‘s incredibly varied open-world is packed full of places to discover and mysterious occurrences. The Lands Between also has plenty of puzzles to solve and items to collect. But the game is often vague about how to solve puzzles, so you’ll have to figure most things out for yourself with few pointers. One example of this is a fallen statue at Stormveil Castle. The statue is laying on its side and is cracked down the middle. The crack is glowing, which suggests there may be something precious hidden inside. However, what you need to do with the statue is unclear. So, keep reading if you want to find out how to smash the glowing statue at Stormveil Castle in Elden Ring…
How to smash glowing statue at Stormveil Castle in Elden Ring
You have to find the statue before you can think about smashing it. It’s located in the courtyard just down the steps outside the Liftside Chamber Site of Grace. Before you can reach it, you’ll have to deal with an Omen enemy and a zombie dog. The Omen is powerful, so I recommend luring the dog away. Once you’ve killed the zombie dog, you’ll be able to fight the Omen without any distractions. Now they’re gone, you should easily be able to spot the glowing statue.
This is how to smash the glowing statue at Stormveil Castle in Elden Ring. You need to lure a nearby Troll to trample it. From the statue, head back up the steps and go right. Follow the path round and eliminate any enemies (such as the Bladed Talon Eagles) you encounter. You’ll soon spot a Troll on some steps in the distance. Move close enough to get the Troll’s attention. It will begin to chase after you, so turn and run back towards the glowing statue. As you sprint, ensure the Troll is still following you – once you pass the statue, the Troll should run over it and smash it open.
Of course, you’ll now need to fight the Troll in order to safely collect the items from inside the statue. Once you’ve killed it, walk back over to the statue and collect 5x Smithing Stone [1] and 1x Smithing Stone [2].
