Throughout the game, you’ll come across many knight statues with jewel collectibles. In these open-world segments, you’ll find a knight statue but it’s blocked off with a barrier surrounded by holographic wolf statues. In order to fill these statues in, you’ll have to find three other wolf statues scattered throughout the open-world mission and destroy them with your shield.

Finding the Knight Statue
In “The Siege Part One,” there are three of these wolf statues. Luckily, these are close to the knight statue. In later open-world missions, the wolf statues are more scattered. They can be found in any order.
Once you enter the battlefield, there should be a red marker indicating an enemy encounter along with a yellow icon showing a Sentinel Shrine. The blocked knight statue is by a cliff towards the right side of the level.
First wolf statue
The first wolf statue is directly under the cliff of the knight statue. There’s an enemy encounter here and you won’t be able to interact with the wolf statue until all of the demons in that area are gone. After dispatching them, simply throw your shield at the wolf statue to destroy it.
Second wolf statue
The second wolf statue is near the knight statue, hidden in a nook between a flag and a wagon. Just walk down the slope and you should be able to see it.
Third wolf statue
The third wolf statue is actually closer to the knight statue than the second one. It’s perched on another cliff, so you need to aim your shield up at it.
Grabbing the jewel
After shattering all three wolf statues, the barrier surrounding the knight statue will disappear. You can then interact with the statue and grab the jewel, which is a Ruby. Rubies can be used to upgrade your weapons, shield, and melee capabilities.

Update 5/14/2024: Correctly labeled the statues as wolves as these are quite clearly not lions.
