The Ruined Idol is a new achievement introduced in season 1.5 of Marvel Rivals. The description is rather mysterious, simply stating that players need to destroy a statue when “Eternal Night falls on New York.” Fortunately, this task can be accomplished on the new map, Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park. However, it’s important to note that this can only be done in Quick Play or Competitive modes, which may divert attention away from the main objectives. Additionally, you must be the first among the 12 players in the lobby to secure the achievement before anyone else can.
The Central Park map plays a crucial role in the first season, with most event missions requiring you to be on it or the earlier Eternal Night: Midtown. Completing all tasks will earn players the free Carved Traveler skin for Groot in Marvel Rivals. While the event is significant, the Ruined Idol achievement tends to get overlooked. Nonetheless, it’s worth attempting for those keen on experiencing all available content.

Bloodstorm One Location (How To Achieve Ruined Idol)
The Location Is Fixed, But Directions Vary by Checkpoint
The Bloodstorm One statue can be found in the core of the defenders’ territory within Central Park of Marvel Rivals. It’s somewhat off the beaten path of the final convoy push to fully complete the map. Players can access it at various points during the match, but it may be easier to do so when that checkpoint is back in focus. Generally, it’s advisable to use a fast or stealthy hero who excels at scoring objectives in Marvel Rivals. Keep in mind that pursuing Bloodstorm One and destroying it too early could jeopardize your team’s chances of winning.

Rewards & Requirements for Earning Ruined Idol
Triggering the Achievement Can Be Frustrating
Although reaching the Bloodstorm One location is manageable, properly obtaining the Ruined Idol achievement can be challenging. This cannot be done in custom game modes or against standard AI practice matches. Nevertheless, I successfully achieved it while constrained in a mandatory bot match that was presented as a legitimate Quick Play. With only four human players in those matches, it makes it significantly easier to break the statue before anyone else.
While destroying Bloodstorm One does not provide a unique reward, it does yield the same points associated with Season 0 of Marvel Rivals. It remains a valuable option for fulfilling score thresholds and earning various rewards, including collectibles, the Chrono-Explorer title, and up to 200 Units. This could help you reach the final milestone for unlocking an expensive skin for free, such as Luna Snow’s K-Pop outfit. Additionally, those who have the Luxury Battlepass will receive numerous free Units once they claim all standard rewards.
