What are the Glowing Cracked Statues in Nightreign

The Cracked Statues with Glowing Blue Orbs inside them are breakable objects in Nightreign that contain rewards when you break them. The loot drops range from Claws to upgrade materials, notably Smithing Stones. These monuments appear randomly in different locations, so you’ll have to do some exploration to find them.

How to Break the Cracked Statues

The most common way to break the Cracked Statues is to lure a boss or an elite near them and bait them into destroying them. Ideally, trick the mobs with heavy attacks or charge abilities to hit the monuments to demolish them. In Nightreign, you can also use your Ultimate Art to destroy the statues. However, this method will depend on your Nightfarer class, as some might not be able to break the monuments using their abilities.

Other Places to Get Upgrade Materials

There are minimal ways to obtain Smithing Stones in Nightreign, and breaking Cracked Statues is the most reliable one. However, you can get this resource for 6,500 Runes from the Ghostly Merchants. Another source is a Tunnel with a troll encounter at the bottom. Defeating the troll rewards you with a Smithing Stone, and you can find more in some of the chests.
