Elden Ring is full of little puzzles and more or less well-hidden secrets, such as illusory walls, invisible scarabs or sealed towers. The cracked statues add to all this. The first one you will encounter is in the heights of Necrolimbo, northeast of the door. And it's far from the last.
Secret of the Cracked Statue
The solution for the first statue is very simple, and you have a good chance of discovering it naturally, or even accidentally, with all the trolls around. All it takes is a giant enemy stepping over it or hitting it for it to break.
Other statues to break
This is obviously only the beginning, there are many other statues of the same kind in game, at least a dozen, and it will take more effort to break them:
- There's one in Castle Veilrage, in the great yard just before Godrick. To break it, you will have to attract the troll at the end of the fortified path , the one guarding the boss door. Suffice to say that it's a long road full of pitfalls, with eagles and others. It is better to clean the area before attempting the adventure.
- There are several statues in the wild to be broken by Rune Bears, so these infamous monstrosities have their good points too. This concerns the one at Mount Gelmir, after the lava lake. You have to go up to the village, a bear will jump on the road. The other is the one near the Tomb of the Capital Heroes, a runic bear is camouflaged in the bushes nearby.
- A statue is hidden in the sealed galleries, near the capital too. You have to jump into the pit and lure the Automatic Iron Maiden to destroy it. Destroying the Iron Maiden's life beforehand, so that you simply have to finish her off once she's done her job, is probably the best bet.
- For the one in the Peaks of the Giants, you have to lure one of the huge golems over a fairly long distance, so that he destroys it with his weapon.
- And finally, this does not directly concern statues, but similar objects, be aware that by descending into the depths under the capital to see the Exalted Flame, you will see objects blocked in wooden and canvas shelters. It is necessary to lure the enemies of the zone so that they destroy them with their special attack of frenzied flame. There are at least 3 such objects in the area.
