ancient statue

[Slow Old Man]

Anyone know how to open this? Tried pick & club

[Avenation]

I believe you need an Ancient Pickax to break it open. Think it comes alive. I'm on an island myself atm with them and I just found an altar, I have to clue as to what I need to place on it. Idk, the altar might have something to do with it also. I'll keep in touch.

ya ancient pickax is right also bombs
alter needs heart from a boss you kill and dagger

[Avenation]

O ok, what happens at the altar when you get the items?

[TomSV]

You do need an ancient pickaxe or a few bombs to break it, however it doesnt come alive.
After breaking a few of them (think its 2 or 3), 3 golems will spawn near each statue.
I havent gotten to the heart and dagger part yet but I believe you get them both as drops from these golems, put them in the altar and the boss spawns.

Aahhh ok thank you

I brake one ancient statue with bombs and it only gave one ancient stone (or how it is called) :/

[Avenation]

Yes you just need to find other statues, thats all. Each one only gives one Ancient Metal. Annoying sure but entirely worth it. Just make sure you create the pickax first. Very handy and it looks kinda cool.

Yup done that, now it saves me from buying bombs ^_^

What do you need to make pickax. I only have the standard one

[astrea_anerada]

In order to make the ancient pickaxe (well, it is called "Ancient Pick" in the recipe for some reason ^^"), you will need 3 ancient metal (or was it 5?, sorry I forgot) which you collect by destroying the ancient statues with bombs and 1 Hardwood.

Thanks

Beware on the bombs to keep some distance or you'll go boom too... But not too far or it won't hit the statue, just check your health after you drop one.

[astrea_anerada]

Oh yes, what bob.handling says above, when throwing the bombs be ready to run away or you will get damage too.

I think that the throwing mechanism needs a little "level up" so that we can throw a little further.

[Slow Old Man]

how do you make a bomb?

Lol what do you mean. Just hold the throw button down. I've been launching mine about 20 feet before exploding in the air. I hunt deer with that lol
