In Diablo IV, you may have come across some statues out in the wild. These Chronicles of Creation Statues come in sets of three, and they must be lined up in order to complete them.
1. How to Complete Each Chronicles of Creation or Weathered Shrine Statue
If you come across one of these statues, called Weathered Shrines or Chronicles of Creation statues, you can find both a Lilith statue and an Inarius statue nearby. You can interact with both the Lilith and Inarius statues to have them face the first one.
- Find the first statue.
- Look around each one to find the Lilith and Inarius statues.
- Interact with the Lilith and Inarius statues until they face the first statue.
- Go back to the first statue and interact with it again.
- Once you collect all the Chronicles of Creation statues in a region, you get a cutscene and a side quest.
- The side quests ask you to talk to an archivist at the Temple of Life.
- When all 30 are collected, you will get an achievement.
