How to Begin the Steal the Sacred Idol Quest
In order to receive this quest, you’ll need to reach the Tieflings Hideout and speak with Mol, their leader. Ask her if there is anything you can do to help out, and she will request that you steal the Sacred Idol.
Steal the Sacred Idol Walkthrough
To reach the hideout, you can speak with a tiefling named Doni in the Hollow. He will then slip away into a hidden passageway. You’ll spot it if you pass a perception check.
If you saved the tiefling child during the Investigate the Beach quest, he will give you a password to tell Doni who will show you the way to the hideout.
Alternatively, look for Mattis at his shop a bit further down the path, and then climb down the ladder behind it. If you pass the perception check, then you’ll find a hole that also leads to the hideout. It’s worth noting that you’ll need to be small enough to climb through the hole. Races like the Gnome or Dwarf won’t have an issue. You can also squeeze through if you can shapeshift into something smaller. The Mask of the Shapeshifter you get from the deluxe version of the game can help.
Once you’ve spoken with Mol, head over to the center of Sacred Pool and locate the idol on its altar. There are a number of ways to go about doing it. You can cover the area in fog, then walk up and take it for example.
Once the idol leaves the altar, a druid will run up and check it and then declare it gone. This will cause the druids to start attacking everyone. If you’re quick, you can teleport out and then deliver the Idol to Mol to complete the quest.
We won’t have more options for this quest until our next playthrough, as we are playing a hero character, and heroes don’t steal stuff!
