What To Do With Golden Idols In Path of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2's Hidden Golden Idols: A Guide to Finding and Selling Them

Path of Exile 2 boasts numerous quests, but some remain hidden or aren't logged. This guide focuses on the five Golden Idols collectible in Act 3. While labeled "Quest Items," they function differently. Unlike typical quest items, collecting them doesn't trigger a quest in your log. Instead of progressing a storyline, these idols offer a substantial gold reward upon sale.

Locating the Golden Idols in Path of Exile 2

After completing the Ziggurat Encampment and traversing the Vaal ruins, a portal transports you to Utzaal (The Drowned City in the present), the Vaal civilization at its zenith. Explore Utzaal and the connected area, Aggorat, to uncover these valuable items. They're not random enemy drops; instead, they're found on the ground or pedestals, often in side rooms.

Utzaal Golden Idols:

• Glorious Idol
• Golden Idol
• Grand Idol

Aggorat Golden Idols:

• Exceptional Idol
• Elegant Idol

Selling Your Golden Idols

Once collected, return to the Ziggurat Encampment and seek out Oswald, located in the northern part of the area. He's the only vendor who will buy these unique items. The gold payout for each idol is:

• 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 limited inventory space and lack of additional use, it's recommended to sell them immediately after discovery to maximize your gold and free up space.
