Breath of the Wild: The Cursed Statue

The Cursed Statue is one of the sidequests in LoZ:BotW

The Cursed Statue is a Quest (Sidequest) in the game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

You can get this quest by finding Calip, either in the valley by Robred Dropoff or in his house nearby Fort Hateno

To the North of the Cliffs of Quince, having passed through Fort Hateno, you will find a small ravine.
Head to the back of it, where you will find Calip exploring and wandering about during the day.
Talk with Calip and ask about what he is doing there to begin the quest.
He will tell Link the riddle and say he has figured it out, but does not want to tell you because it is all his own research.
To complete this quest, you need it to be night in Hyrule, around 9pm (21:00).
If you have some Wood, a Flame weapon or a metal weapon, and some Flint
Wait at the fire until Night.
It will immediately be 9pm (21:00).
Likely, you will need to fight 3 Stal-Bokoblins which emerge from the ground.
The statue in the middle of the field will have purple glowing eyes.
Shoot this statue with your Bow and Arrow to break it.
The shrine will be revealed after that.

Dialogue[edit]

Calip: "When a dark light resides in the cursed statue's eyes pierce its gaze to purge the seal from the shrine." I've been pondering the dark light mentioned here for some time, and I must admit I'm stumped. Light can't be dark, obviously. Unless... Whoops! Can't go divulging my research before I publish, now, can I?
