The black statue

event Statue (South) · Events (all zones)

After defeating the constructs, you find a large black statue. When you examine it, you see that it has a keyhole in the center. The magic bridge that connects the ruins seems to be weakened. You imagine that somehow the statue serves to reactivate it and access the central ruins, otherwise it would be impossible to get there. Luckily, there is another path that would allow you to move forward, but it leads you away from the central ruins. The only way to continue to the center is to have the key or somehow pick the lock.
