Adding more of these in obnoxious spot in SoTFS was so incredibly small brained by the devs.

Are there exact 12 statues?

No yore in forest in vanilla

Gotta love how Scholar of the First Sin puts so many statues in the way of important areas that are meant to make your life less painful like the path leading to the before boss bonfire in Black Gulch and the Rise of the Dead at the end of Shrine of Amana just to make things tedious for the sake of being tedious and make already-awful areas even more of a pain in the *** and forcing you to go searching if you aren't lucky enough to already have a Fragrant Branch, what an annoying and pointless change

in SotFS, in order to get one of the branches in the Undead Crypt, you need to light the statue after the drop, not one the one that is on the path. It needs to be the one that gives a message after lighting it, and lights up the whole room. Then, you backtrack to the room full of the oil barrels. I thought I would provide more details, in case it wasn't clear what to do to get this branch!

I like this mechanic personally.

Fragant Branch of yolo

Fragrant Branch of your mother, she so ugly she turned the hollows into statues by looking at them like medusa

Alyways there when you dont need it , never here if you need it

I'm...ok with these as a game mechanic but it really stands out as a video game contrivance when it's obvious you could easily scooch around them. The one in Dragon Aerie is especially bad, someone could easily squeeze by it on either side.
