EQA - Endless forests - Howling wood quest - faction issues

[Oskar Maxon]

In this area (and the boss area) there are a couple of statues that are hostile, not just to pc:s but also to the spawns (including the boss), which causes the spawns to just attack the statues while being stabbed in the back.

However, it also seems the quest giver doesn't approve of this strategy because there's no end reward.

I can second to statues being attacked by the wolf people.
