Elden Ring: How to Break Shining Statues & Contents

FromSoftware usually offers at least a cryptic clue as to what to do next in their game. 

Although not always, here is how you can enter the glowing statues in the Elden Ring and claim the reward inside!

Despite having the power to kill true Gods, some things are too difficult for a Hand-Lord to conquer. This includes statues scattered around the Lands In Between, with a blue glow emanating from a large crack.

It is clear to any experienced player that these statues contain something you will want to get your hands on. However, what is not clear is how to crack them. Here's how you can do it!

Known Glowing Statue Locations

First of all, you will need to find these statues. It's unclear how many there are in total at this time, so we may not have the location of each one in Elden Ring.

We know you can find a breakable statue here:

• Stormveil Castle – Probably the first glowing statue you'll find, this is in the courtyard next to the giant Omen.
• Sealed Tunnel, Altus Plateau – At the lowest level of the mine, under the wooden platforms.
• Gelmir Mountain – beyond the Lava Lake, near the Runebear that ambushed you.
• Lands Between Wilderness – There are several statues scattered around the open plains of the Elden Ring world.

Now, here's how you can crack them!

How to Break Shining Statues in Elden Ring

The puzzles in Elden Ring tend to fall into at least one of two categories: Incredibly complex or life-threateningly dangerous. These sculptures are a bit of both.

Because you can't break them on your own, instead you have to lure a large enemy type to smash them for you.

This is not always obvious. In fact, you can figure it out just to make you think the game is wrong.

Take the Stormveil Castle statue, for example. The enemy of Omen is a great man. You would think you could crush this statue like an insect.

But you would be wrong. He just isn't strong enough. The good news is that his friend around the corner certainly does.

Go up the stairs and kill the deadly birds for this special statue. Next, you'll find a giant Troll where you first met Nepheli Loux. Godrick is right in front of the fog door.

Take out his entourage, then get his attention.

Now you need to go back to the statue, make sure it is on its tail. Convince him towards the statue and have him smash it into pieces. Now kill it and get what's inside.

This is the method you should use for each sculpture. So, if you find one, remember that there is a giant enemy nearby!
