How to Start the Cursed Statue
To begin the Cursed Statue shrine quest, travel to Robred Dropoff in central Necluda and make your way to the secluded hollow just northwest of the “Robred” marker on your map. There, speak with Calip, making sure to select the “Doctor Calip” dialogue option when prompted.
He will provide a crucial clue regarding a nearby shrine: “When a dark light resides in the cursed statue’s eyes, pierce its gaze to purge the seal from the shrine.” With that information, the Cursed Statue quest will officially begin.

Solving the Riddle
To solve the riddle and uncover the shrine, you will need to wait until nightfall. To speed up the passage of time, drop some wood on the ground and ignite it with flint to create a campfire. Sit by the fire and wait until night arrives.
Once darkness falls, you will notice a single statue with glowing purple eyes. Aim carefully and shoot an arrow into its eyes.
Doing so will trigger the shrine to emerge from the ground. With that, the Cursed Statue shrine quest will be complete.
