Limgrave Locations
Starting with the early-game area. Limgrave has many locations with fogged off walls that can be opened by breaking imp statue seals.
Fringefolk Hero’s Grave
One of the first imp statues that you will run across is right after the tutorial cave. In fact, it is right next to one of the first sites of grace that you will find, the Stranded Graveyard Site of Grace. If you look to the right of the site, you will be able to see a misted fog barrier. At this point, you probably do not have enough Stonesword keys, nor the level required to handle the dungeon. It is recommended to be at least level 30 before taking on Fringefolk Hero’s Grave dungeon. You will also be needing two Stonesword Keys to break the seal.
However, if you are still eager to try this dungeon as soon as you start, you can consider picking Stonesword key as your keepsake. If you want to find out more about keepsakes, consider reading: Elden Ring Keepsakes and how to get them.
But once you make it inside be prepared to be challenged. You can begin the journey by dropping into the poison pool. Once you make it out of the poison pool, you will be encountered by the deadly chariots. You can easily avoid them by timing your movements correctly and hiding behind pillars as they approach you.
From here onwards, it is just about exploration and fighting enemies. But be aware that there is a boss fight with Ulcerated Tree Spirit. Defeating the boss will award you with Golden Seed, used for upgrading sacred flasks. You will also get the Banished Knight Oleg Ashes. Additionally, there will be a platform that you can jump onto and collect a Stonesword key from. This will make up for half the keys that you had to utilize to get inside. You can also find the Erdtree’s favor Talisman in the dungeon.
Summonwater village
The next Elden Ring imp statue location is in Summonwater village. Summonwater Village is west of the Divine Tower of Limgrave and fairly close to the border of Caelid. Behind the Imp Statue sealed wall, you will be able to get the Green Turtle Talisman. You will be needing one Stonesword key to access the Imp Statue here. If you do not have one, lucky for you as just west of Summonwater village, you can find a Stonesword key. It will be near the Stormhill Shack Site of Grace. We have an entire article dedicated to Elden Ring Stonesword Key Location.
Once you have everything you need, you can take on 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.
Coming back to the statue. Head to the eastern part of the village, you will notice a bunch of turtles near a stairway leading into the ground. The entrance to the cellar-like mini-dungeon will be fogged. The imp statue can be found to the left of the stairs, above ground. Use your Stonesword Key and make your way down. Once you go down, keep heading straight till you get through the tunnel and into a relatively wider room. Keep going straight till you reach a stone door. You can lift the stone door, behind it will be a chest. The chest will have your reward, the Green Turtle Talisman.
Roundtable Hold Locations
The Roundtable hold has 2 imp statues. You need to access the first one to access the second statue. So, in total, you will be needing 3 Stonesword Keys to get through all the imp statues.
Roundtable Statue 1
To make your way over to the first Imp Statue in Roundtable hold. Go to the Smithing Master Hewg. Right ahead of him will be a set of stairs leading down. Take them and as you reach the bottom, turn around again, you should be able to see the sealed wall. Break the seal and make your way 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
As you enter the room after breaking the first imp 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. These incantations will be the Assassin’s Approach and Darkness.

The room will have a reward inside after you beat the Skeleton enemy. The item inside is Nomadic Warrior’s Cookbook. It is one of the Cookbooks which have crafting techniques. Nomadic Warrior’s Cookbook will add a recipe for survivability, Rancor Pot. Rancor Pot can be used to throw to summon vengeful spirits. It requires two Grave Violets and one Human Bone Shard to craft.

Elden Ring Imp Statues
In case you just want to know about the statues and how they work, this section is for you.
What Are Imp Statues?
Imp Statues are stone-like structures in the shape of an imp. They are always found near areas that are blocked off by a mist-like wall. Beyond the wall, there tend to be areas that have great loot or rewarding boss fights. Many of these boss fights are optional. Regardless of what you encounter, finding these locations and unlocking them adds a whole new element to exploration in Elden Ring.
How To Break Imp Statue Seals?
Breaking the seal on Imp Statues is very simple. You need an item known as Stonesword Key. When you stand next to the statue, you will get the option to use your key. However, do note that the Stonesword Keys are consumable so if you use them on one Imp Statue, you will be needing more for the next statue.
The number of Stonesword keys can vary. Some statues require one, others require two. The number of keys required is indicated on the statue by the number of seal lights being emitted from the statue.
Once you utilize your keys on the statue, the mist wall will dissipate and remain open throughout the rest of the game. You can explore inside and come back anytime to find the door open.
With that, you’re all caught up on what an Imp Statue is.
With that, we 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 us know in the comments.
