Path of Exile 2: Uncovering the Hidden Golden Idols
Path of Exile 2 features numerous quests, some less obvious than others. Act 3 introduces Golden Idols, unique quest items not automatically logged. Unlike typical quest items, these aren't traded with NPCs to advance a storyline; instead, they're valuable sellable items. There are five to find.
Locating the Golden Idols
After exploring the Vaal ruins beneath the Ziggurat Encampment and traveling through a time portal, you'll arrive in Utzaal (The Drowned City in the present). This ancient Vaal city, at the height of its power, holds three Golden Idols. Two more are located in the connected area, Aggorat.
-
Utzaal Golden Idols:
Glorious Idol
Golden Idol
Grand Idol
-
Aggorat Golden Idols:
- Exceptional Idol
- Elegant Idol
These idols are found on the ground or pedestals, usually in side rooms. They aren't dropped by enemies.
Cashing In Your Idols
Once collected, return to the Ziggurat Encampment and sell them to Oswald (located in the north). He's the only vendor who accepts them.
- Golden Idol: 500 Gold
- Grand Idol: 1000 Gold
- Glorious Idol: 1500 Gold
- Elegant Idol: 1000 Gold
- Exceptional Idol: 1500 Gold
Finding all five yields 6000 Gold. Since they're valuable but take up inventory space, sell them immediately after discovery.
