The Defiled Statue is a Statue of The Seven found along with an Abyss Herald in the ruins around Mt. Aocang, inside the Call of the Abyss domain.
Profile[]
The Defiled Statue was originally a Statue of The Seven devoted to Barbatos. However, it was eventually stolen in an unknown incident, after which Mondstadt's people began telling stories about The Lost Statue of The Seven.[1] The statue had been stolen by Chlothar, who used his experiences with the Abyss to corrupt the statue and made it in the image of Vedrfolnir whom he revered as a God.
Unlike the other statues, it is hung upside down by chains and the elemental object in its hands has been corrupted and surging with abyssal energy. The Abyss Order tasked an Abyss Herald with protecting the statue from interlopers.
Sometime after Osial was defeated, a group of Treasure Hoarders banded together to distract the Abyss Order while sending a single thief, the Grand Thief, to infiltrate and steal any valuables. Due to untold circumstances, the Grand Thief met his demise.[Note 1] The statue and the Grand Thief's kneeling corpse would later be discovered by the Traveler and Paimon.[2]
Later, Dainsleif decodes a talisman from an Abyss Mage, concluding that the Order planned to use the Defiled Statue to create a mechanized god. They would replace the core the statue usually held with the eye of the first Field Tiller and then attach Osial's limbs to the arms of the statue. This way, they would create a machine to "topple the divine thrones of Celestia."[3]
Dainsleif then plans to destroy the inverted statue to prevent the Abyss Order from creating their mechanized weapon. When they return to the ruins, the Traveler meets their sibling in front of the inverted statue.[4]

Notes[]
- ↑ It is heavily implied that the Grand Thief did not die from external injuries, despite their proximity to the Abyss Herald. Therefore, it may only be presumed that they died to overexposure to Abyssal Energy surrounding the area, or alternatively some other force of nature (such as Vedrfolnir, which may explain why the Grand Thief was in a worshiping position, given that the Defiled Statue was tainted by Chlothar Alberich)
