To complete the "Cursed Statue" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to find and return the missing crystal to the cursed Hinox. The crystal is located in a nearby cave southeast of the Hinox's location. Return the crystal to lift the curse.
Locating the Quest
The "Cursed Statue" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can be an intriguing challenge for players. To start this quest, you need to head to Hateno Village in the game. Once you arrive at Hateno Village, look for a woman named Prima. She will inform you about a cursed statue and ask for your help in breaking the curse. This interaction initiates the "Cursed Statue" side quest.
Investigating the Cursed Statue
After initiating the quest, your next step is to locate the cursed statue. The statue is situated in Hateno Village, near the water, close to Firly Pond. Once you reach the statue, interact with it to learn more about the curse. The statue will mention that someone nearby is also cursed, and you need to find this person and break the curse to complete the quest.
Finding the Cursed Person
To progress in the "Cursed Statue" side quest, you need to find the person who is cursed. The cursed individual can be found in Hateno Village as well. Look around the village for a person named Jiahto. Jiahto is in a cursed state due to a spell, and breaking this curse is crucial to completing the quest successfully.
Breaking the Curse
Now that you have located Jiahto, the cursed person, you need to find a way to break the curse. To lift the curse from Jiahto, you must seek out and bring him a blue nightshade flower. Blue nightshade flowers are typically found in quiet locations around Hyrule, so you may need to explore the surrounding areas to gather this essential item.
Presenting the Blue Nightshade Flower
Once you have obtained the blue nightshade flower, return to Jiahto in Hateno Village. Offer him the flower to break the curse and free him from his afflicted state. After giving Jiahto the blue nightshade flower, the curse will be lifted, and he will express his gratitude.
Completing the Quest
With the curse now lifted from Jiahto thanks to the blue nightshade flower you provided, the "Cursed Statue" side quest is almost complete. Return to the cursed statue near Firly Pond and interact with it again. The statue will acknowledge that the curse has been broken, and the quest will come to a satisfying conclusion. You have successfully completed the "Cursed Statue" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
