So my main is finally powerful enough to attempt the Isle of Iron Statues area. I had no problem reaching the temple (the Ape did not attack me), but once I am inside I can't complete the fight with the Iron Statues after seizing the Moonlight Gem.
Does anyone know how to complete this quest using some strategy - other than being powerful enough to beat down a half dozen animated statues (I am not there yet)? The Moonlight Gem displays a message about harnessing its power when it is grabbed from the altar with the skeleton, so I suspect that is a clue but I can't find anything online.
I found this video on YouTube and the player shrinks to Iron Statues down before killing them one by one.

How does he do it? Does he use the Moonlight Gem?
Apparently so. I found another video that is clearer. The Moonlight Gem is used to shrink the Iron Statues.
