What To Do With Golden Idols In Path of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2's hidden Golden Idols: A guide to Act 3's lucrative secret

Path of Exile 2 boasts numerous quests, some less obvious than others. Act 3 features five Golden Idols, unique quest items not automatically added to your log. Unlike typical quest items, these aren't traded with NPCs to advance a questline. Instead, they're valuable sellable items.

Locating the Golden Idols in Path of Exile 2

After exploring the Vaal ruins beneath the Ziggurat Encampment and traveling through the time portal to Utzaal (the Drowned City in the present), you'll find these idols. Don't get sidetracked by Utzaal's impressive visuals; focus on your search.

Three idols are located within Utzaal, and two more are in the connected area, Aggorat. They're typically found on the ground or pedestals in side rooms, not dropped by enemies.

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

Cashing In: Selling Your Golden 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.

Here's the payout for each:

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

Finding all five yields a hefty 6000 Gold reward. Since they occupy inventory space, it's advisable to sell them immediately after discovery to maximize your bag space.
