The Mysterious statues are large stone statues resembling a giant monkey head, created by the TokHaar with the Elder Kiln on the orders of the Elder Gods. As a creation of the kiln, they are considered to be part of the same Elder Artefact as the TokHaar and the kiln itself. There are 4 statues in total, and they are used during the Holy Grail quest to triangulate the entrance to the realm of the Fisher King, as Arthur's knights had turned them from their original directions they faced towards the grail. During the Seers' Village Task, players have to walk clockwise around the statue that is in Seers' Village to complete a task.

They are also used in the quest One of a Kind, where the player turns them to their original positions so they face towards the Submerged statue, which is referred to as 'The Sleeper'. Turning all four statues will reward players with 10,000 bonus experience.

The fastest transit to the statues for One of a Kind is the following:

Trivia

  • The statues near Port Sarim and the Tower of Life used to seem to be facing each other.
  • The statues were originally less detailed, before being graphically updated. The statue near the Tower of Life was updated first, with the other statues updated on 6 October 2012.
  • There were previously 2 more statues by Rimmington and Taverley bringing the total to 6 statues, but these seem to have been removed. According to other statues, these were torn down to be turned into castles.
