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 features numerous quests, some less obvious than others. Act 3 introduces a unique challenge: collecting five Golden Idols. Unlike typical quest items, these don't appear in your quest log and offer a different reward. Instead of progressing a story arc, these idols are valuable sellable items.

Locating the Golden Idols

After exploring the Vaal ruins beneath the Ziggurat Encampment and traveling through a time portal, you'll find yourself in Utzaal, the Drowned City (its past glory). Here, and in the connected area Aggorat, you'll discover these idols. They're not random enemy drops; instead, they're found in side rooms or on pedestals.

• Utzaal:
  • Glorious Idol
  • Golden Idol
  • Grand Idol
• Aggorat:
  • Exceptional Idol
  • Elegant Idol

Cashing In Your Idols

Once collected, return to Oswald in the north section of the Ziggurat Encampment. He's your buyer. Each idol fetches a significant sum:

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

Finding all five nets you 6000 gold. Given their size and sole purpose as valuable trade goods, it's wise to sell them immediately to free up inventory space.
