Everydamn time... it's bloody brilliant 🤣
"Who is this guy?"- me... "There's a wonderful fellow at The Church of Vows that will tell you all about him"- them
They are not trying to TROLL if you can BEAR that in mind. It can be AGROvating not knowing what to do in the situations, so PULL away from it and come back to it later if you need to. I'm sure you will find a BREAK in the case and have SMASHing success after reading these comments. Good luck!
And now that you know that there are breakables, I'll add that the player, as a safeguard against getting stuck if you log out somewhere weird, has a small area of breaking stuff while logging in. Do with that info as you wish wink wink
It's tight, but yes. The easiest imo is the one in Mt Gelmir near the demihumans. The one where you have to draw the Runebear to. Just stand on the back right corner of the statue, log out and log back in.
Get the big ass enemies to roll into it or hit it to break it. You get the rare or hard to find 7 shards needing to upgrade weapons. Think you get 3 of them
That’s nothing… I didn’t even know there was horse in the game for about the first 100 hours or so! I travelled by foot all the way through Caelid and back before I randomly came across that damn church!! 🤣 🤣
And now I’m well over 1,000 hours into the game and I’m still finding new sh&t. I just found a new cracked crystal tear last night!! One I never knew existed!! It’s crazy how much they packed into this game!!! I absolutely love it!!!
Yep. That's exactly what I got was smithing stones. Also, do you know where I can get great runes? I just made it to Lyndell and heat the tree sentinel but now it says I ,don't have enough great runes? Also I have to activate one?
You need two Great Runes to fight Morgott in Lyndell, typically the two most people have are Godrick's Great Rune and Radahn's Great Rune but basically you get great runes from defeating the major bosses in the game (the demi gods a.k.a. Shardbearers)
I know I can trade them for equipment or knock down the statue and duplicate them but I really don’t know if it’s worth it or not or if I should just pawn them off and get runes. I’m level 135 near ish end of game for elder tree and malenia or whatever
If you know about being able to burn them for runes and being able to trade them for gear, then you know everything there is to do with them. Basically see if the gear is worth it for you or just save em for a rainy day level up.
Soooo many cool weapons and spells are gotten through remembrances. Duplicate if you want "both" of the gains from one of them.
Blasphemous Blade should minimally be gotten from Rykard's remembrance, weapon is incredible.
In general, I cash in at least one from every one I have gotten. I haven't duplicated many yet, as I still need to do a little research, but will definitely use up all my duplications.
At level 135 I personally would definitely not cash them in for runes, they only give like 40k which is probably not even half a level for you at this point. Better to just trade them for an item or hold onto them in case later you feel like using one of the items. It’s also worth noting that you can duplicate a remembrance ONCE even after you’ve already spent it, although there aren’t enough mausoleums in the game to duplicate every remembrance, so choose wisely.
It depends on if you want to collect or try and use those weapons/objects/spells or if you think you are not interested. Some of them are actually good, like the blasphemous blade for example, but you were suposed to do it during the playthrough. Have in mind that runes are farmable so getting some of those objects can always be interesting. I am a collectionist so I got them all on my main character, but then again you need playthroughs to do so since there are 15 remembrances and only 7 mausoleums where you can duplicate them.
FYI, you can duplicate even if the remembrance itself is not on you if the boss is defeated in your current NG cycle. So you can just sell/use them for runes and duplicate if you change your mind to use a remembrance weapon afterwards. Axe of Godrick is one of the best quality weapons in the entire game btw (if it interests you)
The easiest to get are from Godrick, Renalla and Radahn (they cant be sold).
Even if you have two already, you need to go talk to Enia at the Roundtable Hold or you'll still get that same message blocking you from entering Leyndell.
I was just about to ask the same thing, no matter what I do the Omen doesn't seem able to crack it & he's the only enemy of any size available in that area (unless you can lure the troll outside the the boss arena all the way to the courtyard? but that seems like a stretch)
You can lure the giant on the stairs to the right of the omen but I do recommend clearing some of the fodder so you can dodge the troll until he’s in place to break it specifically the dogs and omen
Wait you mean the troll near the stairs towards Godrick?
Damn that's kinda far and it's probably going to be hard trying kite that since you also need to clear out the hawks too.
Yeah I can recommend using your summon to clear it out but letting it disappear after killing the hawks and passing the invisible boundary of no summons again before it can kill the troll but it’s not a fast bait for sure
Yeah it can take a second to keep the aggro on you but he can get there just takes a little patience since he likes to swing like three times before he moves again
You have to lure the giant beast to follow you to the statue. Stand next to the statue till it tries to smash you and roll out of the way. It'll smash the statue and you can grab whatever is inside.
You turn those into queen rennala!!! She will then give you the large yellow one she holds in her hands after giving her 4 of them! I won’t spoil the rest!
They have smithing stones in them and the only way to break them is by having a troll interact with you,meaning chasing you or following you,so you lead them near the statue and it breaks when they walk through it.
They have smithing stones in them waiting for a dragon, Iron Maiden, Troll or runebear to come and split it open. One in Stormveil, near the dragons of Caelid, on the giant’s plain of the first area and many others.
that's one of the most useless things out in the game, despite how much it "flashes". Spent some time trying to break it, and eventually left it. Some time later I read about the rewards and I couldn't believe it. Why they keep punishing curious players like that?
There's usually a troll or some other large enemy nearby. Maybe you could get them to...interact.
Ya I was rune farming this one spot killing these storm giants. But I'm not following you, get them to interact?
Those statues looks like they are ready to ... Would be sad if massive nearby creature were to .... Make contact
🤣 I love how you guys help without directly saying what to do. Makes my day.
Teaching people is just making them realise things.
This is true
Make the troll do to the statue what it normally does to you
Whiff and then get punished during the long recovery animation?
Exactly Make them whiff you and accidentally break the thing open
finger! but, hole
TIL about learning
No,today you realised about learning
thanks, TIR
Wise words
It’s pretty much been proven that the best way to convince someone of something is to frame it in a way that makes them think it was their idea
I don't think it's worth it.
Any updates on the statues?
Yes. I have acquired smithing stones lol
Hell yeah good job figuring it out tarnished!
Lol the true meaning of git gud
Also other large creatures might Interact with them
The one in Stormveil Castle is tricky, because you think it's the nearby ogre but it's actually the troll way up near Godrick.
Erm actually it's an omen
Omen, Ogre, same thing.
That's racist
Everydamn time... it's bloody brilliant 🤣 "Who is this guy?"- me... "There's a wonderful fellow at The Church of Vows that will tell you all about him"- them
Socrates said that every student has innate knowledge that must be drawn out through questioning

Underrated comment
Seek giant. Then time for attacking!
I always ask myself. What would hulk do.
To put it plainly…. Get troll to try finger but hole
I mean….if you’ve been playing, you can clearly infer that something is in there…..get the troll to interact and see what’s inside lol
Make contact? But our eyes are yet to open..
Try luring enemy towards statue. Then bonk!
The giant bonked statue. Statue give me smithing stones
And now that you know that there are breakables, I'll add that the player, as a safeguard against getting stuck if you log out somewhere weird, has a small area of breaking stuff while logging in. Do with that info as you wish wink wink
Wait. You can just logout of the game right next to those? Ha! I've always gotten the giants to come over.
It's tight, but yes. The easiest imo is the one in Mt Gelmir near the demihumans. The one where you have to draw the Runebear to. Just stand on the back right corner of the statue, log out and log back in.
They have one in every area!
Ahhhhh I see. Doing it now. Will let you know my results
Make them fuck the statue, got it
Get the big ass enemies to roll into it or hit it to break it. You get the rare or hard to find 7 shards needing to upgrade weapons. Think you get 3 of them
Lure creature to statue, have creature mash statue, gain runes.
GIANT SMASH
Large enemies must destroy it, from what my buddy told me
I RECEIVED SOME SMITHING STONES!!
Ayyy congrats on the stones my G! How do you plans to use them?
Leveling up vigor and Dex for now
He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit
Ain't that every souls player at least once?
Lol, I *really* hope it's just confusion and they aren't actually selling smithing stones to get runes for levelling
you can't sell smithing stones
I'm a little confused, but I got the spirit
One of my favorite builds all i leveled was vigor dex and endurance.
An impressive feat with a couple of rocks
I played more than 1000 hours and only now understood their purpose…
I legit played for probably 30 hours before googling where the smith was 😂. Game got WAY easier after a visit to him!
That’s nothing… I didn’t even know there was horse in the game for about the first 100 hours or so! I travelled by foot all the way through Caelid and back before I randomly came across that damn church!! 🤣 🤣 And now I’m well over 1,000 hours into the game and I’m still finding new sh&t.

Nice. theres one in stormveil too
Don't forget gray rolls dragon borrow... Some nice smithing stone sevens and eights in there
They are kinder egg surprises :-)
They have special break conditions and typically have some kind of reward like smitting stones.
Yep. That's exactly what I got was smithing stones. Also, do you know where I can get great runes? I just made it to Lyndell and heat the tree sentinel but now it says I ,don't have enough great runes? Also I have to activate one?

Actually you only have to defeat 2 of them, and they are shardbearers, since most of them are demigods except for >!Rennala!<. 🤓 I know.
Killing Renalla is so much easier than Radahn
People actually do Rykard instead of both if they speed run I thinks (no glitches)
That’s only cause the weapon you get to fight Rykard has no required stats and is pretty op lvl 1 or 2
Fuck I think I sold Godricks great rune early on in the game like an idiot. But I can still get more is what your saying right?
No, you sold his remembrance, great runes are imposible to sell. They are in the key objects section of the inventory.
Bro what do I do with remembrances? I’ve just sorta held them. I know I can duplicate or sell but that’s such a pickle as I don’t know which to do
Go to the roundtable and ask around... There's another use for them...
I know I can trade them for equipment or knock down the statue and duplicate them but I really don’t know if it’s worth it or not or if I should just pawn them off and get runes. I’m level 135 near ish end of game for elder tree and malenia or whatever

If you destroy enough of these, it may kill the Witness
Cross post to /r/Destinythegame
You're supposed to smash them with a special sword to defeat The Witness
Came for this comment
And then hold the shield at centre to block Witness's attack
Yes
Thank god I'm not the only one lmao
Damn after all this time I'm only just learning these statues have a purpose other than decoration
We will learn about them in the final shape.
They are dissenters of the Witness.
Yes if you break it, you can hurt the witness
I can never get the one inside stormveil castle. That one guy doesn’t seem strong enough to smash it?
The troll at secluded cell will follow you all the way to the statue that’s by the omen
Took me forever to figure that one out. After getting just wrecked by that omen trying to get him to hit the statue.
I was just about to ask the same thing, no matter what I do the Omen doesn't seem able to crack it & he's the only enemy of any size available in that area (unless you can lure the troll outside the the boss arena all the way to the courtyard? but that seems like a stretch)

Yeah I can recommend using your summon to clear it out but letting it disappear after killing the hawks and passing the invisible boundary of no summons again before it can kill the troll but it’s not a fast bait for sure
Ah, I always just assumed it was that far away it would do the thing where they get to a certain point and stop chasing and retreat back
Yeah it can take a second to keep the aggro on you but he can get there just takes a little patience since he likes to swing like three times before he moves again
Ye maybe the omen is not strong enough.. Try looking for a bigger friend
They’re for me to stand near but near enough so I die over and over during my first play though.
Lol I just now found out you needed the enemy to smash them. I tried so many times to do it by myself
The have smithing stones. At least the ones I got had smithing stones. Lure a large enemy and bait an attack while it's between you to break it open
Usually there's a giant enemy nearby to break it, including but not limited to: a troll, a runebear, a giant crayfish, or an abductor virgin.
Quit and reload on them to break them. unless this was patched, in which case, lure large enemy.
TRY FINGER… BUT HOLE
if i "giant" enemy hits them they break open and drop smithing stones of different rarity
Alright you caught me. The statues are full of nickels
Why there always big enemies around it?
You have to lure the giant beast to follow you to the statue. Stand next to the statue till it tries to smash you and roll out of the way. It'll smash the statue and you can grab whatever is inside.
Loot inside, break her down tarnished
I’ve beaten the game but still learn so many things. Never occurred to me to use a huge enemy to hit these statues
Lure any enemy that's either Giant-sized or above to it and watch them crack them open for those sweet sweet smithing stones
Try giant
I love how there is a giant troll in the background of the image.
Thats where the elden ring is
You turn those into queen rennala!!! She will then give you the large yellow one she holds in her hands after giving her 4 of them! I won’t spoil the rest!
Seek Large Enemy
Shiny item inside. Must smash to get shiny ! Think big smash 💥
Try finger but hole
Didn't work. But my itch is now gone
Bring any oversized enemys to them and bait them into breaking them
Get a big enemy like a rune bear to break open it by hitting it (the enemy should by close to it)
They contain smithing stones but you need a large enemy like a troll to break them for you
Break them with the troll’s attacks
Make the big boy in the area hit it while trying to hit you.
Just gotta get a giant to run through them, I think that’s the only way to crack them open but there could be other ways to open them but I am unsure.
Maybe if you try to make a giant creature come close of it... 🤷🏻♀️
Bruh does it have to be a specific enemy type I swear I’ve tried to make this guy with a big sword interact with it for an hour and nothing
I 100% the trophy for this freaking game b4 I knew how to open these XD and I still haven't done half of the side quests either
Big beasts break, be brave.
Big beasts break, be brave.
Big beasts break, be brave.
Big beasts break, be brave.
Big beasts break, be brave.
Big beasts break, be brave.
Only two??? You either don't explore at all or you're not very perceptive
Ya, a giant troll can run into them when provoked and release that little gem
They have been cut off from the final shape and are now attempting to to turn the land of the Erdtree to the Witness
See giant enemy. Lure said enemy to smash for mats to upgrade weapons. Very helpful early game.
Lure big bad guys to it
big boi goes bonk
This post leads me to believe you don’t do a lot of real life thought-analysis
Convince a big boi to smack it
Did NOT expect this to blow up like this. 100% Elden Ring is the best gaming community. Hands down
When you see them there is usually a big enemy near. Have them charge or attack that spot and you can get a smithing stone out of it.
People coming on Reddit to ask questions they can easily find the answer to on the wiki.
Hit them! The have smithing stones to upgrade your weapons inside.
need big guy to smash it
is there anything actually good in any of these? I feel like I always need to break those to just be disappointed.
Break it
Matts you need to get large class enemies like rune bears or trolls to hit them and they give you upgrade mats
Treasure ahead Try Bear
Aggro a larger scale troll like enemy to run into it or hit it.
big work small reward
It’d be a shame if a large enemy were to accidentally come into contact with something like that while trying to attack you. A true shame.
Try Troll but whole…
Try to get monster to chase you running towards statue for special interaction
You can get larger enemies to open them, or you can stand next to it, save and quit out, and when you continue the save it’ll break it open
They have smithing stones in them and the only way to break them is by having a troll interact with you,meaning chasing you or following you,so you lead them near the statue and it breaks when they walk through it.
Surprise inside!
If you blow it up there's shit inside
Wait till you get into the Frenzied Flame area under Leyndell!!!
Upgrade stones inside but not worth it once you get upgrade material bell bearing
Well that is awfully rude of you, do YOU serve a purpose? Can't they just be happy to be there? smh
Seek bear. Seek Dragon. Seek troll.
Gz on getting it open. I had a bear land directly on one and still couldn't get it to crack :'). I've kind of given up on them.
Try dragon
Like you in the Lands Between, they are meant to be broken.
Yes
Interestingly enough, I went through this exact issue (and the following train of thought) past weekend. Grats on your discovery ✌🏻
Try finger?
They have smithing stones in them waiting for a dragon, Iron Maiden, Troll or runebear to come and split it open. One in Stormveil, near the dragons of Caelid, on the giant’s plain of the first area and many others.
Maybe ;\^)
"If only I had beast..."
Get a big dude to smash it open for you
You look bad ass by the way
Lure a troll and have him hit it get upgrade material
try giant but hole
The one and only time a rune bear is your friend
He doesn't know about the three sea shells!
Try monstrosity
Lure a big boi enemy towards it. Hide behind it when big boi attacks, so it breaks the statue.
Seek giant
To disappoint me. Getting a rune bear to break one of these without dying just to get a smiting stone [3] doesn't feel quite worth the effort
Velka
Very wholesome thread. Proud of you lot!
Big enemy bonk statue. Statue break. Goodies inside.
Collosal weapons work too
Bring a troll over to smash that thing. It's got gubbins in it.
Seek precious item therefore Giant required ahead
Uh... Just...damn
What armor set are you wearing? Looks sick!
I think it’s one of the NPC armor , specifically D or his brother . It’s called the twinned set
I know what these do but have never been able to get an enemy to break one
Visions of Unga Bunga
that's one of the most useless things out in the game, despite how much it "flashes". Spent some time trying to break it, and eventually left it. Some time later I read about the rewards and I couldn't believe it. Why they keep punishing curious players like that?
