The Sludge-Covered Statue walkthrough
It is a pretty straightforward quest. All you have to do is wash off the Sludge from the statue using water and you are good to go. There are a couple of ways to go about it. The first one is the easiest one.
You can send a Splash Fruit flying towards the statue to clean off all the tar stuck to it. One or two should suffice. If wasting fruits is not your cup of tea then you can also use the Hyrdrant Zonai Device.
You can get it from the Gacha Gumball Dispenser found all over the kingdom. Once the quest is complete, you can move on to the next one which is the Sidon of the Zora Quest.
