First off, we Buddhists do not worship anyone or anything. The Buddha was a man who discovered a way of being that brings contentment and peace to the world. We do venerate Buddha, for bringing us the teachings (The Dharma), so we bow to his statue, just like we bow to every person, to show our respect. But there are very little rituals in Buddhism. So the short answer to my long response is that we don't worship.

There are two different statue puzzles. In the one with 3 statues, two are armed, and you have to arm the third one. The statues are supposed to have three different weapons. In the one with 10 statues, you have to arm each of 5 different statues, with weapons that are better than the statue in front of it (according to the combat triangle). For example, if the other statue has a bow, you arm your statue with a sword. To arm the statues, take a pickaxe and mine some rock (in the same room as the statues). Then take a chisel and hammer, and make the weapon. Finally, select "Arm statue" on the statue.

The statue on the bow of a pirate ship, often referred to as a figurehead, served multiple purposes. It was intended to symbolize the ship's identity, instill fear in enemies, and convey the spirit or values of the crew. Additionally, figureheads were believed to provide protection and good fortune during voyages. These elaborately carved figures often depicted women, mythological beings, or animals, reflecting the personality of the ship and its crew.
