Stealing idol from the grove (act 1)

[Judas]

Is this not possible any more. All the old cheesy methods dont seem to work.

It's super easy to steal after you kill the goblin leaders, the druids no longer look directly at it when they stop the ritual.

Did it on my honour mode run a few days ago. Just had Kree use their infinite at-will invis to walk up and grab it after the tieflings were ready to leave and the druids had stopped paying attention.

Figuring out the Shadow Druid plot stops the Ritual long before facing the Goblin leaders and you can just drop a darkness arrow on top of it to jack it.

Darkness didnt work for me. As soon as I touch the staue the cut scene begins where they kill the tieflings.
I wanst aware that you could steal it and give it to Moll after killing the goblin leaders. (I only do it for the ring you get from Moll) I've always thought the quest would be invalid if the ritual stopped.

Because they are still doing the Ritual... You have to stop the ritual which is either A) Killing the Goblins or B) Finding out the plot of the Shadow Druids. If you do neither and steal it, the Druids go hostile. They go hostile if you steal ANYTHING of theirs, especially the Idol.

It is as easy as it used to be.

As the others have said, you need to stop the ritual before you try to steal the idol. I do find that using Darkness to steal the idol sometimes still gets me caught. The easiest way I've found to steal it is to have someone use Mage Hand and use the hand to pick up and move the object away from the druids (I tend to put it down by that little beach area where the bear is at), then have someone go over and steal it from there.
