Steal the Sacred Idol Walkthrough
- If you get caught by the druids, it will start a war between druid and outsiders.
- You can use SHADOW OF MENZOBERRANZAN's special ability to remained cloaked while stealing. (Acquired at Myconid colony). Or, you can simply put a chest next to the idol, put the idol in that chest, then add it to your inventory.
- If you wait after you solve the ritual issue with Kagha, it will become much easier to steal the idol. You can just walk up to the idol while hiding with a Dex character. Then move the idol out of the altar and enable turn base mode to pick it up then walk away.

Steal the Sacred Idol Notes & Tips
- The idol provides an aura of +1 animal handling +1 nature
- NOTE: In order to get the ring, you have to give the idol to Mol before you kill 3 goblin leaders. Otherwise, he won't give you the ring anymore.
- After you give Mol the idol, you can buy or steal it back from him.
-
Ring of Protection can only be acquired by completing this quest.
-
If you steal the idol during Kagha’s Ritual of Thorns, it will trigger a civil war event in the grove
-
Killing the Goblin Camp leaders seems to cancel the quest. Mol will strangely still accept a stolen idol but no reward is given (feels like a bug).
-
Completing the Investigate Kagha quest will end the Ritual of Thorns early, defusing tensions and allowing the idol to be stolen with regular NPC theft reactions

I saved Mirok and Arabella, but Mol still wouldn't give me the quest because she was pissed that Aradin's man slapped one of her kids. As if that was my fault.

if you steal the idol before getting the quest mol will not offer the quest to you, get the quest before you steal the idol and before you confront the kaga

Can swipe the idol in darkness in turn based mode, go invis (not 100% sure if necessary), and fast travel before the cutscene triggers. it's possible to get back to mol without triggering the cutscene if you take the long way around the grove (or leave someone in the hideout)

Extremely difficult to pull off with the ritual still occurring. Afterwards however, it's pretty easy to use darkness on the spot, have a stealthy character swipe it while in the darkness, and then immediately travel to your camp followed by fast traveling to the waypoint outside the grove. If they don't say anything when you walk back in, you're clear.

as of september 01, 2023, patch 2, you cannot get the quest after you stop kagha with druid ritual. Mol will simply say "I don't need help at the moment"
To prevent this, make sure you get the quest from mol BEFORE you confront Kagha or kill any goblin leader.

If you buy, or steal the idol off of Mol via the trade function, Mol treats it as if someone stole the Idol from them. Additionally, Mol is impressed by this, wanting that individual for their guild. Mol has their priorities straight when it comes to being a leader, protect and nurture your own, and recruit talent, not inferior yes men, or fools. Mol is frankly speaking... a seriously dangerous potential thieves guild leader in the story of Faerun. I, am ALL for it. I purchased the Idol off of Mol and placed it back in the Druid's Grove on its pedestal quietly. Thus triggering the state where the idol was "technically", not stolen, while completing this quest for Mol. Additionally, and it's well worth noting, despite the fact the statue gives off an Aura with skill proficiency in Nature and Survival, taking it theoretically dooms the Druid's Grove, while is also massively annoying, in that it can slow your game by constantly giving/removing NPC's en masse the buff as you move. So, it's probably a good idea to buy/steal the idol OFF Mol, and return it.

Great wiki.

stealing the idol with the shadow druid still trying to cast the "lockout" spell will cause war, no matter what. Not like they don't make this abundantly clear through overhead dialogue. WAIT until you have dealt with her first.

will this have consequences later in the game or is it ok to steal the idol, if you killed goblins?

You actually don't need anything special at all if you wait after you solve the ritual issue with Kagha, it will become much easier to steal the idol.
You can just walk up to the idol while hiding with your Dex character. Then move the idol out of the altar and enable turn base mode to pick it up then walk away.

post-kagha shadow druid exposure i had gale cast fog on it and just walked right out. guard asked but deception(15) and intimidation(?) checks allow you to walk freely

Stealing with the chest doesn't work anymore. You can steal it with no problem but Mol won't recognize that and won't give the chance to hand it to her

If you carry the idol in your inventory it gives a passive aura with +1 animal handling +1 nature as bonus iirc
I have saved both children, but Mol won't talk to me anymore, because I upset him by entering their hideout before and not leaving when he asked me to ^^" Is there a way?
