How to unlock the Bite the dust achievement in RiME - Definitive Guide
To break them you simply have to walk into them.
The game saves instantly when you break a statue, so you can use Stage Select to get all 5 in any order. When you break a Statue, it will be permanently destroyed even between playthroughs.
Here is a video courtesy of Non Stop Trophies. Due to the open nature of this game a video is much better than trying to explain the locations.
-- Chapter 2 --
-( Statue #1 )-
Shortly after starting the chapter, you'll awaken on a stone platform surrounded by statues. None of the ones in your immediate vicinity are your target. Instead, turn around and proceed down, away from the large hallway. At the bottom of the steps should be a lone statue in the shadow. Walk up against it to shatter it.
-( Statue #2 )-
* It is better if you release the clouds in the first windmill before trying for this one.
Proceed from where you land when first encountering the bone bird towards the first windmill. Under the second shelter, look towards the windmill and you should see a tunnel, and then to the right of that, another shelter. Behind the tunnel framework is the second statue. The reason it is preferred that you release the clouds is that you won't have to worry about the bird taking you shortly after your interaction.
-- Chapter 3 --
-( Statue #3 )-
After clearing the third underwater segment, follow the fox until you come out to a large open room. To the left you should find a keyhole and one of the statues.
-( Statue #4 )-
After your struggles against the shades, you'll come out of the cave back into the ruins. Before you climb up the nearby platform, proceed forward a bit to find this statue hiding in an alcove.
-( Statue #5 )-
When proceeding with the newly built Sentinel, you'll come to a large area with a tree in the center (the first time). You'll enter the area first, so turn left and climb up the stairs and one ledge to find a lone statue by itself in the dead end. The trophy should pop up afterwards if all five have been found thus far; if not, you might have to jump back into the earlier chapters after completing the game using Chapter Select.
Break five statues and turn them to dust.
There are two in Chapter 2 and three in Chapter 3.
Stage 2 & 3: Anger & Bargaining
You will have to search between Stage 2: Anger and Stage 3: Bargaining for the five statue locations. You will find two of the statues in Stage 2: Anger, and the other three statues in Stage 3: Bargaining. These statues are usually located all on their own with no other statue in close proximity to them.
The first statue in Stage 2 will be found at the very start of the stage; just turn around and go all the way down the flight. On the bottom, there will be a statue by itself that you will need to destroy.
The second statue in Stage 2 is after the bird attacks you. You will fall off the bridge and will run under shelter. From here, look diagonally to your right and you will see a shelter with a back wall behind it. Behind this shelter is the second statue.
In Stage 3, the third statue will be after you come out of the underwater area. After you come up near the tree, the first room you enter will contain the third statue. Just walk towards the left side and it will be standing by its lonesome.
The fourth statue will be after the area where you encounter a whole bunch of shades. When you get to the end of this area, you will see a fish with an orb in its mouth that can be used to destroy the shades. Continue forward into the grassy area - don’t go up the stairs, just stay on the ground floor. Once you get to the back of this grassy watery area, turn left and the statue will be in a little alcove.
The final statue will be found after you build the sentinel and start following it. You will get to an area with a big tree in the center of it. Once you enter this area, turn left and you will come across a staircase. Follow the staircase and you will find the final statue sitting by itself. Break it to earn this trophy.
