What To Do With Golden Idols In Path of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2: Uncovering the Hidden Golden Idols

Path of Exile 2 features numerous quests, some less obvious than others. This guide focuses on the five Golden Idols hidden within Act 3, which, despite being labeled "Quest Items," function differently. Unlike typical quest items, collecting them doesn't update your quest log. Instead of progressing a specific questline, these idols are valuable sellable items.

Locating the Golden Idols

After exploring the Vaal ruins beneath the Ziggurat Encampment in Act 3 and traveling through a time portal, you'll find yourself in Utzaal (The Drowned City in the present). This ancient Vaal city holds three Golden Idols. Two more are located in the connected area, Aggorat. These idols aren't dropped by enemies; they're found on the ground or pedestals, often in side rooms.

Golden Idols Locations:

Utzaal:

• Glorious Idol
• Golden Idol
• Grand Idol

Aggorat:

• Exceptional Idol
• Elegant Idol

Selling Your Treasures

Once you've collected a Golden Idol, return to the Ziggurat Encampment and speak to Oswald, located in the north. He'll purchase your idols for a substantial amount of gold:

• Golden Idol: 500 Gold
• Grand Idol: 1000 Gold
• Glorious Idol: 1500 Gold
• Elegant Idol: 1000 Gold
• Exceptional Idol: 1500 Gold

Collecting all five yields a total of 6000 Gold. Given their high value and minimal inventory space, it's recommended to sell them immediately after discovery.
