Collect optional gold from an Obelisk of Greed encounter when it fits the run route.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Obelisk of Greed gold pickup
Obelisk of Greed encounter marked as a yellow dot during an Act 1–3 run.
Before you go
- Enter a released Act run.
- Watch for yellow encounter markers on the minimap.
- Keep enough safety and mobility to leave the main path and return.
Farming steps
- Start the Act suited to your current progression goal.
- Check the minimap as you travel and identify a yellow encounter marker.
- Approach the marked point when nearby enemies and hazards allow a safe detour.
- Interact with the Obelisk of Greed encounter.
- Collect the gold reward shown by the game.
- Resume the run toward the next boss, chest or progression checkpoint.
- The amount scales with obelisks already found in that run, so treat the payout as variable.
- Prioritize a safe encounter route over chasing an optional gold pickup through a dangerous area.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat when the Obelisk of Greed encounter appears in a later run. The reward is collected per encounter; it is not a permanent bonus or a fixed-rate farm.
Common mistakes
- Expecting a known gold amount; the payout depends on prior obelisks in that run.
- Forgetting to collect the reward after interacting; verify the gold pickup before leaving.
- Abandoning a boss route for a risky detour; skip the marker when it threatens run survival.
When to stop or switch
Stop detouring when the obelisk is collected or when the route is unsafe; return to the nearest useful checkpoint.
