There are 30 Macabre Sculptures scattered around Bitterblack Isle in various obscure, hidden, or hard to reach locations.
Locations[]
Sculpture No. 1[]
Found in the Bitterblack Isle Harbor on a rocky island in the sea to the southeast of the pier.
This sculpture is available on the first visit to the island, but only with those with advanced jumping skills. First jump onto the shortest pillar nearest to the island. Then, from the pillar, either use Levitate, or Double Vault with Sunflare, or a jump combined with Sky Rapture to reach the island. (It is just possible to reach the island with a running start followed by a double jump, but the jump is extremely difficult to carry off without falling into the brine. Very light encumbrance helps with that, any higher weight level, and it's pretty much impossible with just a double jump).
There is a much easier alternative route once the entirety of Bitterblack Isle has been traversed - from near the exit drop down onto the broken arcade of pillars and arches just outside the main entrance on the east side. Then an easy jump leads to a rock ledge running round the eastern side of the open area before the entrance - two further easy jumps can be made from the ledge to get to the rock island.
Sculpture No. 2[]

At the top of column just left of portcrystals - access upper levels on the east with Levitate or Double Vault.
Sculpture No. 3[]
Found in the Garden of Ignominy
On the second floor of southern spider room, on top of large stone blocks.
Sculpture No. 4[]
Found in the Duskmoon Tower
On top of an angled pillar of rock against wall next to SW gem doors.
Sculpture No. 5[]
Found in the Duskmoon Tower
At the very right- angled corner of an upper ledge in east - on the roof of the building/door that leads to the Ward of Regret.
Sculpture No. 6[]
Found in the Rotunda of Dread
On a block just west of NW torch.
Sculpture No. 7[]
Found in the Ward of Regret
First ledge to the left in the catacomb area after going through the hole in the wall near the water on the lower level. Appears directly in front of where you encounter the Skeleton Brute and later on the Golden Knight and Silver Knight or Living Armor.
Sculpture No. 8[]
Found in the Midnight Helix
In the uppermost hanging cage - it can be reached by four methods :
- Grab and fly a winged enemy.
- Use a very long jump (see Jumping) from the platform at the top of the Midnight Helix
- Jump to the opposite ledge of the mouth of the cage, and then do a running double jump from there.
- Jump to the Hanging Body nearest the cage (slightly above it) and jump again over to the cage. Hitting the body can cause it to swing or sway, potentially making the second jump easier
Sculpture No. 9[]
Found in the Midnight Helix
In the red fouled water in the NW beside the wooden posts of the bridge standing above you.
Sculpture No. 10[]
Found in the Vault of Defiled Truth
In the upper level of southern most room on top of a wooden rafter.

Macabre Sculpture in Fortress - Strigoi strategy
Found in the Fortress of Remembrance
(First playthrough): On an upper ledge of the square tower - grab a succubus to get lifted up. This is easiest done by staying inside the square tower and waiting for a succubus attack. The succubus should be grabbed inside the square tower. It, then, is very easy to steer going up. There is also a Bitterblack Gear Lv.2 on the same ledge as the sculpture.
(Successive playthroughs): As succubi are replaced with other enemies, instead grab and carry a strigoi from the entrance from the Corridor of Emptiness to about halfway between the tower and the door to The Pilgrim's Gauntlet. Don't try to bring it to the tower, otherwise it will disappear and return to its spawn point. As it takes off, grab it and guide it to the tower. It may take several tries. To get the strigoi, climb the ladder and wait for one to attack. Once engaged, ground and carry it, putting it down and picking it back up when it struggles.
(Ogre approach): Go lower in the tower and summon an Elder Ogre with Rancid Bait Meat. Next lure him up the tower and jump off him, Magick Archers can use Double Vault, Sunflare to reach to the ledge. A similar method also works with Poisoned Undead - use Instant Reset mid-air as soon as reaching the ledge with Sunflare, otherwise the animation will continue through and the character won't grab a hold of the ledge. There is also a cursed item on the high ledge.
(Barrel & Leaping Stone): In the absence of any enemies to climb on or be carried by, barrels may be stacked to reach the top of the tower. Pawns most certainly will break the barrels though. Alternatively, a suitably placed barrel can be used as a lift off point for the Strider skill Leaping Stone.
Sculpture No. 16[]
Found in the Fortress of Remembrance
Fourth Level Underground. Go all the way to the west, past the room with two chests. Facing the bottom of the large bridge above, climb the mound of rocks to the right of the bridge - there's a mining spot there for reference - the Sculpture appears there. Long jumps (see jumping) are recommended, or a really fast (but painful) jump off the right side of the second level bridge near the door.
Sculpture No. 17[]
Found in The Black Abbey
On an upper ledge just left of the entrance into the area.
Sculpture No. 18[]
Found in The Pilgrim's Gauntlet
In the central area in the upper balcony alcove. There is a big balcony that hangs over the north side of the room. The only way to obtain it is by using a long jump from the east upper balcony up this slanted boulder and jump from there on to the balcony. On the opposite side is an "alcove", jump from the balcony to the alcove.
