Climb the stairs and defeat the enemies to use the Stonesword Key on the statue. You will immediately get ambushed by an Imp, so be careful. Approach the item and pick it up to get the Nox Mirrorhelm . It’s a helmet usually worn by those who committed high treason and is incredibly weak against Strike damage.

Bows and other ranged weapons are generally not the best weapon in games like Elden Ring , since there is more of a focus on melee combat. Bows, crossbows, and cannons are slow, it's easy to miss, they require ammunition, their damage generally is low, and many ranged weapons are not compatible with the best Ashes of War , which upgrade equipment. That being said, these weapons have their uses, and players will come across situations where ranged tools are the most efficient weapon for dispatching enem

Inside, there will be a chest in the middle of the room that contains the Nightmaiden & Swordstress Puppets Ashes , and two Nox Monks guarding it. Defeat the enemies in Elden Ring and claim the item to obtain the Spirit Ashes that allows you to summon two NPCs at the same time, but keep in mind that it consumes a lot of FP.
