In Blades of Fire, Iridescent Crows are puzzle elements used to awaken Petrified Templars (Templars of the Sacred Steel). These statues often guard valuable upgrades, primarily Stamina Gems and Nerea’s Tears.
When you encounter a petrified statue, strike it to "ping" the location of its corresponding crow on your compass. Once you find the crow, approach it to make it fly toward the statue; you may need to follow it across multiple perches before it finally awakens the enemy.
Unlike the "Cursed Crows" in other fantasy games, Iridescent Crows want you to follow them. You don't need to sneak; just get close enough to trigger their flight path.
Awakening a Templar immediately triggers a mini-boss fight. These enemies have high poise and typically use Lightning or Sacred attacks. Make sure your weapon durability is high before approaching the final perch.
Some Iridescent Crows are fairly hard to find, but our Blades of Fire regional game maps cover their locations, which can also be accessed via the links below.
