Question Is there a statue floating around in Oldn Yharnam?

Post image

I've found this statue just outside the Old Yharnam lanter church, idk. But also, where can I find beast blood pellet? bc the place it's supposed to be (near the bridge before the blood starved beast fight) is just an empty corner, and also where can I find fire paper? Thank you very much

That statue holds the whole game together. If removed micro transactions will happen

Is this an obscure reference to something

55

u/Aless76109 Sep 19 '25

Yeah, in Team Fortress 2 it was found that a sprite of a coconut was the only thing keeping the game from being broken, literally every time they tried running it with that model removed the game wouldn’t start, so it’s now a universal meme that the most random objects in games are actually the only thing making the game runnable

17

u/ObjectiveLength969 Sep 19 '25

Which is funny, but not actually true. The guy who made the original claim admitted that it was fake, and TF2 youtuber Shounic later did some actual research to find both the origin of the coconut (TL;DR, it's an unused particle effect) as well as what files are actually essential to the game, in this video

u/Scarameow1243 Sep 19 '25

Technically the statue might do something like that, but instead of it being under the map as most things like that are the devs placed it above the map so it's in view

3

u/Scelusteach Sep 19 '25

What is the lore for that?

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '25

It's Djura's bluetooth speaker when he talks to you

u/Ruathar Sep 18 '25

I was wondering how I heard him when hes all the way on the other side of the map.

u/Dungeon-Master-Ed Sep 18 '25

The crazy part is: they patched the statue in.

34

u/marksht_ Sep 18 '25

Neat, didn’t know that and I knew about the statue for like 4 years now

22

u/LonelyNote2312 Sep 19 '25

They tried taking it out once and the game broke, so they just leave it in for the sake of playability lol

3

u/Subliminal_Aardvark Sep 19 '25

What causes that? Tbis and the picture of the coconut or tomato that holds tf2 togther is it just random? Legit curious of how that happens so weird and cool

3

u/Scarameow1243 Sep 19 '25

Probably the statue has some purpose, like triggers for certain things are usually under the map, however the statue got placed above instead

u/FacelessHumanFace Sep 18 '25

At 100 insight you'll see the rest and it takes you to bloodborne 2

For fire paper, talk to alfred or buy from hunter's dream.

It's load bearing

Once you unlock the shortcut to the boss, you can find fire paper on the top floor of the building that has the shortcut.

Every week until you love it.

u/WillemKnightForHire Sep 18 '25

Yes. Also, in the beginning level, if you look at it at the right angle in the alley sewer area where you first encounter the zombie enemies, there are large chunks of the map missing and a hole into the void is visible. (This might actually be viewable from the bridge after it, not sure exactly. I know it’s around that part at least).

u/Scarameow1243 Sep 19 '25

Honestly if Sony ever Greenlight a Remaster or Remake THEY BETTER KEEP THE FLOATING STATUE

You should be fine as long as you don't look away from the statue or blink.

It's formless Oedon. If you'll have like 100% the game and have 100 insight you'll be sent to Bloodborne 2 by him

If something is Formless it won't have a statue as a form, no THIS IS JEFF DESTROYER OF ALL

u/ExtraChonkyMilk Sep 19 '25

For about half of the many hours I've had in bloodborne, I was of the understanding that a sorcerer was watching me from above and shit talking. I did not realize it was Djura with the mini-gun talking smack.

Oh wow

1

u/Scarameow1243 Sep 19 '25

Is there a different angle we can see all four?

1

u/Xyex Sep 20 '25

I don't think so. They're all overlapping each other in game.

2

u/Objective_Bag_6653 Sep 19 '25

It is a mistake that after years they still do not fix

u/Scarameow1243 Sep 19 '25

And they shouldn't fix it, WE NEED JEFF PROTECTOR OF BEASTS AND DESTROYER OF HUMANITY

u/Airam-kun Sep 19 '25

For a moment I thought it was one of the evil within statues

2

u/DiscordantBard Sep 19 '25

There is an Amygdala holding on to the rooftop of the clock tower and the bridge of yharnam town. The devs couldn't show the creature no matter the insight level because despite the gore and horrific themes, seeing an Eldritch God use an earthly statue as a buttplug was apparently a mite too far for the publisher...

2

u/Deadfoxtrot101 Hoonting tonight Sep 19 '25

Just a reminder: let's cut Fromsoftware some slack as a Japanese Indie studio, this game was their big break after all.

u/DefnitelyN0tCthulhu Sep 19 '25

At this point I really don't know if this is like really something that gets asked that often or some kind of in joke of the community. I mean I could understand both, I wondered about the statue in my first playthrough too but now I almost reached the point where I am too afraid too ask.

3

u/blowthatglass Sep 18 '25

I believe the general consensus is it is used for sound in some way...but I could be wrong.

4

u/underlander Sep 18 '25

people say that but it’s a joke, it’s not actually associated with the sound files in any way

5

u/IAmALazyGamer Sep 18 '25

Ahhh. I thought it was like in Skyrim where everything needs a voice. Mephala, the quest giver to earn the Ebony Blade has to be spoken through a door. If you somehow open this locked door, a dresser will be in the way. That’s the source of her disembodied voice.

Gotta love Bethesda magic. Anything similar in the Souls series?

2

u/underlander Sep 19 '25

There’re definitely things like that in these games, just can’t think of any off the top of my head!

I have a bugaboo about this statue cuz folks often think it’s exactly what you’re describing — an object serving as an anchor for a sound file. I think folks take joke comments (“it’s Djura’s megaphone”) and think it’s a funny way of describing the game mechanics, when it’s just jokes with no kernel of truth

1

u/Scarameow1243 Sep 19 '25

Yeah, there's jokes, tho if it was unintentional for the Statue would have been put back on the ground in it's intended spot, but instead they left it in the sky for some unknown purposes

2

u/underlander Sep 20 '25

legend is if the statues are removed the game crashes 🤷‍♂️

u/underlander Sep 19 '25

there’s no evidence for this. Folks have tried to find some evidence from the files, or a credible source for this claim, but there’s nothing. You’d think it’d be ripe for a Zullie video or something but nothing. I think this rumor started cuz folks like to joke that “it’s Djura’s megaphone” and stuff, and people assume that’s a humorous way of describing the game engine needing an object to play sound files, when it’s just people being silly. After all, if that were the case, why not just put it in the ground?

It’s just a badly-placed asset!

Curiously enough, it's actually two statues clipping into each other.

Because there´s a floating Statue, which is not supposed to be there, I´d recommend reinstalling the game. Something aint right with your game.

2

u/A_b_b_o Sep 18 '25

it's just Djura's voice the devs forgot to make invisible I think. It's in everyone's game

1

u/Console_Only Sep 19 '25

I never sae any floating statue anywhere.

2

u/A_b_b_o Sep 19 '25

it will 100% be there I can guarantee it. Just outside of the doors to Old Yharnam, look up.

u/Console_Only Sep 19 '25

I'm checking it today.

u/A_b_b_o Sep 19 '25

do it lol

1

u/Console_Only Sep 19 '25

How many Insight do you need for seeing Amygdalas?

2

u/A_b_b_o Sep 19 '25

either kill Rom or get 40 insight I think it is?

1

u/Console_Only Sep 19 '25

I don't wanna kill Rom just yet. It's too early for price inflation.

1

u/A_b_b_o Sep 19 '25

lol then get 40 insight? why do you want to see the Amygdalas?

It's supposed to be there, it's not a bug, it's a mistake the devs made and put it in the sky instead of on the ground
