Fields of Mistria: All Statues and Their Uses

The first statue that you’re introduced to is the Dragon Statue, and the game will essentially show you how it works already. Caldarus will upgrade your skills for essence, which you earn doing things like farming, mining etc.

Interacting with Caldurus will allow you to speak with him or offer essence, offering the essence will bring up the skill tree.

Then you can trade the essence to unlock skills, which will help make everyday tasks like ranching, farming, cooking, etc much easier and add more perks to performing said tasks.

The next statue you’ll encounter in the story is the broken dragon statue in the mines. Despite its appearance it still works, so you can offer essence here to unlock skills towards mining and combat.

Interact with the statue to open up the skill tree. Also one of the best ways to earn essence is through mining, as mining the rocks spawns essence quite regularly.

Unlocking the perks for mining would be most beneficial because when you reach level 45 mining skill you can unlock the ‘ Lost to History’ perk, which will sometimes spawn a Ritual Chamber Floor when going down the next level of the mines.

After fixing up Haydens’ Barn, a fierce wind will knock the Weathervane off overnight, you’ll have to help your fellow farmer find it. This will take you up to the narrows. However, a new horse statue will be in the narrows, just opposite a small river, you can swim across to access it or jump down from the cliff above.

Interacting with the statue will then prompt you to offer some essence (100 to be exact). Doing so will unlock Mistmare, your new companion and a much faster way to travel around Mistria!

When you interact with the statue again you’ll be able to unlock three perks for Mistmare, making them faster, allowing them to harvest forage-able items by galloping over them, and to change how Mistmare looks.

When checking your animals in the menu screen Mistmare will be at the top, and on the right side you’ll see an icon with a sheep, an alpaca and a cow. Click on that and you’ll be able to ride any of the large animals on your farm!

This one isn’t properly introduced in the story, but the Chicken Statue on Sweetwater Farm can also be used to get some cool things, like feed, food, ingredients and even cute little accessories for your farm animals!

You will need to have levelled up your Ranching skill enough to have unlocked the ‘Currency of Care’ perk, which allows animals to produce shiny beads after being either hand-fed or by grazing on crops (So be sure to harvest your produce before letting animals out, otherwise you’ll come home to a lot of shiny beads and a severe lack of crops!)

You can offer these shiny beads to the statue, either 10 or 100 beads at a time. Offering 10 seems to be the best choice if you want the accessories, while 100 will give you golden ingredients and golden food. I offered 10 beads and got this cool halo for my cows. (Holy Cow!)

The only way I found this out is thanks to this YouTube Short made by KeiOneesan, I’ve attached the link here: https://youtube.com/shorts/UEUqQge4MLw?si=OnuBp3rijZvifB-F

And finally we have the Dragon Well (I know this isn’t a statue, but hear me out). The Dragon Well is located at the Eastern Roads, you need to have a good pick-axe as there is a large boulder blocking the way. Once you’ve destroyed the rock you will be able to access the Dragon Well.

You can offer either 100 or 500 Tesserae to unlock food and accessories for yourself (This can only be done once a day!)

It will produce a random item after you have offered the money, but if you get a duplicate you can always go to the main menu to try again. I spent 500 Tesserae and got a soup pot hat for my soupy brain!
