Marika statue near Rennala missing?

[Tamminen]

Any hope to get Marika statue near Rennala? Because long run with ball avoiding and elevator is most annoying part of the game for me now.

if you go to the left before going up the elevator there is a door you can open so you do not have to do the ball run anymore.

I think Renala is the only main story boss I never died to. I had no idea that she didn't have a stake lol.

there's an easy-ish shortcut you can open, but its the closest thing to a "Souls" boss run in the game I think. not that far anyway at least

Theres actually a way to stop the ball from appearing, in the same room the Carian Knight is, go the left where a sorcerer is and you can jump the fence to reach a locked door, and a ladder, killing the enemies at the top of the ladder stops the ball from appearing in the future.
