So I really quickly-without thinking-approached the statue in the Gloomy Forest from the side. Then the statue menu started glitching out, so no matter what I pressed, would close and reopen, trapping me. This was after recruiting Wulfrick, stopping by Bangers and defeating all 3 Friendly Betas once on the way back. Luckily it didn't happen again after quitting, loading and carefully approaching from the front.
