How To Remove Statues In Dark Souls 2
You can remove the statues that are blocking your way in Dark Souls 2 by use of The Fragrant Brand of Yore. This is an item you can use once to bring a statue to life to either kill it or sometimes interact with it in other ways.
Fragrant Brand Of Yore Locations
The Harvest Mills

In the first mist pool you come across you can kill the big beast Dark Orb hurling beast to find a small cave behind him containing a Fragrant Brand of Yore. This Brand is the easiest to attain.
-
At the Mines bone fire take a left into the open space and then take a left again, you will see one of those big Dark Orb hurling beasts, but before you reach him you should take a right.

You will find a path leading to a Fragrant Brand of Yore on the second upper enclave from the right.
