How To Do With Golden Idols In Path Of Exile 2?
As we all know, Path of Exile 2 has a lot of quest lines to complete, but not all of them will be added to the player’s quest log in a particularly obvious way. Among these quests, some are hidden quests that do not require players to complete them.
However, some hidden quests will have higher rewards after completion. For example, in Act 3, players can collect Golden Idols, and although these Golden Idols will be marked as Quest Items by the game system, they are not Quest Items in the general sense.
For example, collecting Golden Idols will not add the quest to your log. In addition, some Quest Items will also be NPCs or need to be taken to designated locations to advance the quest line, and sometimes you will get a good quest reward.
In POE 2, Golden Idols are special Quest Items, and there are a total of 6 Golden Idols that can be collected. Because after collecting it, players can sell it for a large amount of gold coins.
Where To Find Golden Idols?
If you reach Act 3 in the game, you may first explore the ruins of Vaal civilization, which is located below Ziggurat Encampment.
After you explore the area, the player will go back to the past through the portal. The player will visit the once-great Vaal city of Utzaal, which is now known as Drowned City.
This city used to represent the peak of Vaal power, but it is important not to be distracted by the visual impact of Drowned City’s magnificent appearance.
Because throughout the connecting area of Utzaal City and the ruined Vaal civilization, players have a chance to find various Golden Idols here.
This area is called Aggorat. Players can find 6 types of Golden Idols in Utzaal City and Aggorat area. This includes 3 Golden Idols scattered in Utzaal City and another 3 Golden Idols scattered in Aggorat area.
There are 3 Golden Idols scattered around the city of Utzaal, namely Glorious Idol, Golden Idol and Grand Idol; while there are another 3 Golden Idols scattered in Aggorat area, namely Exquisite Idol, Exceptional Idol and Elegant Idol.
According to some players, these obtainable Golden Idols are all located on the ground or pedestals, usually hidden in the side rooms connected to each area. It is worth noting that this item will not drop from ordinary enemies in these areas. So, players do not need to spend too much energy to obtain Golden Idols by killing monsters.
In addition, in this area, players can also find Sacrificial Heart. You can bring this item to Sacrificial Dais in Aggorat to exchange for a book of specialisation. It can help you increase your passive weapon set skill points by 2 points.
So in short, the process of collecting Golden Idols not only gives you the opportunity to get a lot of gold coins, but also gives you the opportunity to exchange for other special items that increase passive skill points. And you don’t need to kill monsters to get them. This is a sure-win business, so you can give it a try!
How To Use The Collected Golden Idols?
After the player collects Golden Idols, you can bring them back to Ziggurat Encampment and exchange them for gold coins with the vendor. But not every vendor is willing to exchange these special sellable items with you. At this time, you can go to the north side of the Ziggurat Encampment and negotiate with Oswald for an exchange.
Oswald will appraise Golden Idols brought by the player, and when he and the player open the Buy & Sell screen together. The player will find that each Golden Idol can be exchanged for good gold coins. The following is a detailed list of the gold coins that can be exchanged for the 6 Golden Idols for your reference.
- Golden Idol: 500 Gold
- Grand Idol: 1000 Gold
- Glorious Idol: 1500 Gold
- Exquisite Idol: 500 Gold
- Elegant Idol: 1000 Gold
- Exceptional Idol: 1500 Gold
Of course, if the player can find the 6 Golden Idols scattered in Uzaal City and Aggorat area, you will get a total of 6500 gold coins. This is a very considerable amount of gold coins. You can then use the gold coins and vendors to exchange for items you need in the game.
Of course, you can also use these gold coins to participate in Gambling. Gambling will give you a chance to get rare items, which is very beneficial for low-level players. Because after obtaining rare items, you can use POE 2 Divine Orb to correct the statistics on the items to get better values, helping you optimize your equipment to upgrade faster.
However, since each item will take up a part of your inventory space, and the inventory space is limited and difficult to increase, Golden Idols can only be sold at a high price.
Therefore, after finding these Golden Idols, it is recommended that players promptly transfer them back to Ziggurat Encampment to exchange gold coins with vendors to better save your inventory backpack space.
Given the above Golden Idols’ usable value, players can get more gold coins, thereby exchanging for more items you need, so don’t forget to try to find scattered Golden Idols during your journey in POE 2.
