How To Break Glowing Cracked Statues in Elden Ring Nightreign

Elden Ring Nightreign takes a significant departure from the traditional Soulslike formula, embracing a roguelike format that emphasizes cooperative play. In this iteration, players must team up with friends or other online adventurers to strategically take down powerful bosses, all the way to the ultimate confrontation with the Nightlord.Among the many interactive elements players will encounter are large, partially buried statues emitting a faint glow from their chest area. This subtle luminescence signals that these statues can be broken, revealing hidden treasures within. This guide provides everything players need to know about shattering these glowing statues and the valuable rewards they may uncover.

How to Break Glowing Cracked Statues in Elden Ring Nightreign and Find Upgrade Materials

These mysterious Cracked Statues are randomized elements, meaning their appearance is not guaranteed during every expedition. When you do come across one, their impervious nature might initially cause confusion, as they cannot be interacted with or damaged through conventional attacks. However, similar to the breakable statues found in the original Elden Ring, there are specific methods to shatter them.

How to Break the Statues

• Lure Enemies/Bosses: The most common method involves luring a nearby enemy or even a boss towards the statue and baiting them into attacking it. Their attacks will cause the statue to break.
• Use Your Ultimate Art: Alternatively, if no enemies are conveniently positioned nearby, you can use your character's Ultimate Art directly on the statue to shatter it.

Once broken, these statues consistently drop valuable items:

• A Claw: This is a common drop.
• An upgrade material, specifically a Smithing Stone.

These Smithing Stones are crucial for enhancing your weaponry. They can be used at a Smithing Table, which is typically found adjacent to the Ghostly Merchants in various locations.

Where to Find Upgrade Materials in Elden Ring Nightreign

Upgrade materials in Elden Ring Nightreign are relatively rare but essential for progressing your weapon's power.Beyond breaking the glowing statues, there are a few reliable avenuesfor acquiring them:

• Ghostly Merchants: You can purchase Smithing Stone [1] directly from Ghostly Merchants for a hefty price of 6,500 Runes. While expensive, this option provides a consistent way to upgrade your weapon from common to uncommon rarity.
• Tunnels: To obtain Smithing Stone [2], you will need to actively locate a Tunnel on the map. These dungeon-like areas are prime locations for higher-tier materials.
  • At the very bottom of these Tunnels, you will typically encounter a formidable Troll. Defeating this enemy guarantees a Smithing Stone [2] as a reward.
  • In a nearby side room within these Tunnels, you can also often find several chests that frequently contain additional Smithing Stone [1] items.

These Tunnels are consideredone of the most consistent and rewarding sources of upgrade materials.Therefore, it is highly recommended to prioritize and clear one of these Tunnels on the first day of your expedition if possible, to get an early boost in your weapon's upgrade path.
