These statues can be found throughout the map. Many times, there are bigger dungeons behind imp statues. Other times, there is a single room with loot inside. These rooms may or may not be a small section of a dungeon. Regardless, here are the Imp Statue locations that I came across.

Limgrave Locations

I’ll start with the early-game area. Limgrave has many locations with fogged-off walls that can be opened by breaking the statue seals.

Fringefolk Hero’s Grave

Elden Ring Imp Statue — Elden Ring – Fringe Folk Hero’s Grave Location

As you progress, look for an imp statue near the Stranded Graveyard Site of Grace. This marks the entrance to the Fringefolk Hero’s Grave dungeon, indicated by a fog barrier.

In my experience, before entering, ensure your character reaches at least level 30 and possesses two Stonesword Keys. Use these keys to break the barrier.

Prepare for tough encounters inside. Wisely manage your resources and explore nearby areas for additional items to increase your chances of success.

Summonwater Village

Imp Statues — Elden Ring – Summonwater Village Location

In your Elden Ring journey, I recommend seeking out the next statue located in Summonwater Village. Behind the Imp Statue, a sealed wall guards the Green Turtle Talisman. If you lack a key, fortunate for you, just west of Summonwater Village, near the Stormhill Shack Site of Grace, you can find a Stonesword Key. We have an entire article dedicated to Elden Ring Stonesword Key Location.

Go to Summonwater Village. The statue is located in the eastern section of the village. However, if you are already there, you can take on a boss fight with Tibia Mariner. Defeating him will grant you Deathroot and Skeletal Militiaman Ashes.

Roundtable Hold Locations

The Roundtable Hold houses 2 imp statues. To access the second statue, one must first access the first statue. Therefore, in total, you need 3 Stonesword Keys to navigate through all the statues.

Roundtable Statue 1

To find your way to the first Imp Statue in Roundtable hold, I suggest you go towards the Smithing Master Hewg. Right ahead of him was a set of stairs leading down, you should be able to see the sealed wall. Break the seal and go to the back-left part of the room, close to the fireplace, where you will find a chest. In the chest, you can find the Crepus’ Black-Key Crossbow.

Roundtable Statue 2

Upon breaking the first statue seal, you will notice another fogged wall to the left of the room. Once you open the sealed door, head straight towards the chest by the barrels. You will attain the Assassin‘s Prayerbook. The book can be used to learn new incantations.

If you are confused about incantations or simply want to learn whether incantations are better than sorcery, consider reading this: Elden Ring Incantation Vs Sorcery.

Weeping Peninsula Locations

Weeping Peninsula has around two statues that you can run into. This area also has many Stonesword Keys that I suggest you collect, they make it easier to access the statues.

Tombsward Catacombs

All Imp Statue Locations Elden Ring — Elden Ring – Tombsward Catacombs Locations

Tombsward Catacombs, south of the Church of Pilgrimage and east of the Fourth Church of Marika, hide valuable secrets. Upon reaching the Tombsward Catacombs Site of Grace, you’ll spot a fogged wall ahead. Behind it lies a single room in the dungeon.

Inside, defeat a challenging Skeleton enemy to claim the Nomadic Warrior’s Cookbook. This Cookbook is more than just recipes; it’s a guide to crafting techniques. Among them is the recipe for the Rancor Pot, boosting survivability. Crafting it requires two Grave Violets and one Human Bone Shard, allowing you to summon vengeful spirits when thrown.

Weeping Evergaol

Elden Ring All Imp Statues in the game — Elden Ring – Weeping Evergaol Location

Weeping Evergaol is on the east of the Fourth Church of Marika and near the Tombsward Ruins. It is in the western portion of the Weeping Peninsula, as shown on the map. The Imp Statue at Weeping Evergaol is essentially a gateway, allowing you to fight the Ancient Hero of Zamor boss. The boss is not a piece of cake, and, in my experience, you can actually benefit from having a ranged build in the second phase. After you beat him, you get the Radagon’s Scarseal. It raises all your physical attributes by 3. But you take increased damage.

Liurnia of the Lakes Locations

Liurnia of the Lakes has two Imp statues that can be accessed using Stonesword keys. There are two more statues, but you will need the Imbued Sword Key for that purpose. That is an entirely different story.

Academy Crystal Cave

Elden Ring stonesword key statues — Elden Ring – Academy Crystal Cave

A statue seal blocks off the entrance to the Academy Crystal Cave. You will need two keys to access it. The highlight of the dungeon is the duo boss Crystalians (spear and staff user). The reward you get for defeating them is the Crystal release. If you take the elevator to the top, you will also find Terra Magicus.

Black Knife Catacombs

Elden Ring statues locations — Elden Ring – Black Knife Catacombs Locations

Unlike the other location in Liurnia of the Lakes, this Imp Statue only seals away a single room, not an entire dungeon. I suggest you keep going down inside the Black Knife Catacombs until you find a skeleton. You will be able to spot the fogged wall. Opening the seal will allow you to enter and get Rosus’ Axe from a corpse.

Stormveil Castle Locations

The following Imp Statue locations that I’ll talk about are found in Stormveil Castle. There are two statues there.

Rampart Tower

You will find an imp statue just east of the Rampart Tower site of grace. It will be guiding a room in a basement. Inside, you can find 3 useful loot items. Iron Whetblade, Misericorde, and Hawk Crest Wooden Shield. Be careful, as two axe-wielding enemies will be patrolling the area.

Main Courtyard

The next Imp Statue location is near the previous one. Go out into the main courtyard and look for a door leading to a basement. You will encounter rats, so be prepared for a small fight. There are two chests beyond the fogged wall. They include the Godskin Prayerbook and Godslayer’s Seal. You can get the Black Flame and Black Flame Blade incantation from the Prayerbook.

Leyndell, Royal Capital Locations

There is an Imp Statue location in the Royal Capital.

Auriza’s Hero’s Grave

Imp Statues Elden Ring Auriza Hero's Grave — Elden Ring – Auriza Hero’s Grave

Access the Auriza Hero Grave by breaking an imp statue seal. Inside, secure the Golden Epitaph sword among other valuable loot. Watch out for lurking skeletons around chariots in safe zones. During exploration, find the Vulgar Militia Ashes.

Manipulate the flame thrower trap to make chariots collide, granting access to Ash of War: Holy Ground and the Tree Sentinel Armor Set. Explore further to discover the Crucible Feather Talisman.

Prepare for a challenging duo boss fight against Crucible Knight and Crucible Knight Ordovis. Defeat them for Ordovis’ Greatsword and the Crucible armor set. This dungeon offers challenges and substantial rewards. If you want to know more about Greatsword, read our Greatsword Build guide.

Underground Locations

Now I would like to talk about the imp statue locations that can be found underground.

Nokstella, Eternal City

The imp statue in Nokstella, Eternal City, is quite straightforward. It unlocks a single room with two enemies inside. Deal with them and open the chest in the middle of the room. You will get the Nightmaiden and Swordstress Puppets, a spirit summon. The summon consumes 97 FP and summons two spirits with individual life bars.

Night’s Sacred Ground

Reaching Night’s Sacred Ground can be tough initially. To access this area, start the Renna/Ranni Questline. For help with challenging bosses like Radahn, explore the Best Elden Ring Radahn Cheese Method. Before delving into the area, prepare for a boss fight.

Before the imp statue, I’d suggest grabbing the Black Whetblade for an added advantage, find a chest containing the valuable Mimic Tear Ashes. The Mimic Tear summon mimics your abilities and grows stronger with your character build.

Mt. Gelmir Locations

Mt. Gelmir has two Imp Statue locations.

Seethewater Cave

Seethewater Cave is yet another Dungeon-like area in Mt Gelmir. I recommend you make your way over towards it through the Sweetwater River. You will need two Stonesword keys to access the cave.

The cave has many enemies like Servants of Rot, Rats, and Giant Rats, with the latter being my utmost nightmare. You can find the Mushroom Set inside Seethewater Cave. There is also a boss, Kindred of Rot.

Unsightly Catacombs

Unsightly Catacombs can be found in Mt. Gelmir as well. In my experience, you should travel to Perfumer’s Ruins at the western edge of the region to reach the Catacombs. The entrance is below the ruins, you must use a Stonesword key on the Imp Statue to unlock the door.

The dungeon has an abundance of Grave Glovewort so that you can strengthen your Spirit Ashes easily. Additionally, you can find a Rune Arc. There is also a 2 vs 1 boss fight with the Perfumer Tricia and Misbegotten Warrior. They will drop the Perfumer Tricia and Winged Misbegotten Ashes.

The misbegotten warrior is quite aggressive and often equips a shield with the aid of Perfumer Tricia. To stagger him and break the shield, you will need a good melee weapon.

Consecrated Snowfield Locations

There is one imp statue located in Consecrated Snowfield.

Cave of Forlorn

The cave of Forlon can be found in the ravine south of the minor Erdtree in the Consecrated Snowfield. I advise you to be careful, as a Giant Land Octopus guards it. To enter the cave, you will need a Stonesword Key. But once inside, you can explore and find many rewards. These include a Golden Rune, Grave Glovewort, and Golden Order Greatsword and Misbegotten Crusader boss.

With that, I have covered all the known Elden Ring Imp Statue locations. Remember to equip yourself well before entering the dungeons, and good luck, fellow tarnished. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments.
