Every turn you are in the [[line of sight]] of an '''orange crystal statue''', there is a 66.6% chance that it will inflict a random [[Divinations]] [[miscast#Divinations|miscast]] on you. If your current [[intelligence]] is less than 8, this can kill you if you have no quick means of recovering from [[stat death|having 0 intelligence]]. Other effects include [[confusion]] or draining your [[MP]].

'''Orange crystal statues''' are stationary guardians that have the ability to drain your [[intelligence]], your [[MP]], or to confuse you and your allies. Additionally they cast [[Shadow Creatures]], flooding the area around them with powerful summoned monsters. If an orange crystal statue is in your [[LOS]] and your [[intelligence]] is less than 4, you are at risk of [[stat zero]]. They can be found in various [[vault]]s almost anywhere after the early [[Dungeon]].

Useful Info

Orange crystal statues are stationary guardians that have the ability to drain your intelligence, your MP, or to confuse you and your allies. Additionally they cast Shadow Creatures, flooding the area around them with powerful summoned monsters. If an orange crystal statue is in your LOS and your intelligence is less than 4, you are at risk of stat zero. They can be found in various vaults almost anywhere after the early Dungeon.

Tips & Tricks

  • In general, try not to fight them while other hostile creatures are around.
  • Although they're largely resistant to elemental magic, powerful Earth Magic spells can take them out quickly. Shatter and Lee's Rapid Deconstruction are particularly effective.

Variant Orange Crystal Statues

Wucad mu statue.png A Statue of Wucad Mu guards the inner treasure chambers of Wucad Mu's Monastery. Destroying it has the added bonus of wiping out any shadowy monks that are still running around.

This statue, made from a fine glassy orange crystal, depicts a mystic known as Wucad Mu, who mastered the matters of the mind. Beware of the statue's powers, as you have no chance in mental combat against it.

Zot statue.png A Lunar statue guards a single acquirement-level item on Lehudib's Moon Base. This variant has Lehudib's Crystal Spear in addition to the spells above and a 20% higher cast rate.

An utterly bizarre statue, hewn from a single piece of dark gabbro scintillating with tiny crystals. It is impossible to tell whether the statue is intended to represent some creature or personage, or is completely abstract.

One thing is certain: it is profoundly disturbing.
