The Idol from Below jewel only goes in your jewelry sockets (rings and amulets). It’s one of 16 available jewels introduced in Diablo 4 Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim.

Stats

+120 Armor and 6% Resistance to All Elements
You gain 6%[x] Primary Core Stat, 6%[x] Maximum Life, and Unhindered.
However, you will be hunted in Sanctuary's darkest places by Jewel Guardians, who were entombed to protect this relic.

While the stats on the jewel are nothing special, the fact that you can gain Unhindered is a big deal. This is extremely important for builds that require the extra movement speed you get from being Unhindered. Horadric Jewels are crucial to increasing the effectiveness of the seasonal power, the Horadric Spells.

Every single one of the Horadric Jewels comes with the same +120 Armor and 6% Resistance to all elements buff and a unique effect, but they sometimes come with significant drawbacks. The Idol from Below is one such jewel; using it causes you to be occasionally ambushed by Jewel Guardians.

Explore Horadric Strongrooms to find Horadric Tomes

Season 9 of Diablo 4 not only introduced new powers but also added new and fun mechanics to the Nightmare Dungeons. In this season, you can find and explore special mini-dungeons within the Nightmare Dungeons called the Horadric Strongrooms. These Strongrooms can be accessed using the Horadric wayfinders present within Nightmare Dungeons, but they are not guaranteed to appear.

Exploring these dungeons is the only way to acquire Horadric Tomes for crafting the Idol from Below Horadric Jewel. This can take multiple dungeon runs, but once you acquire the recipe, you can craft the Idol from Below using 45000 gem fragments (15000 of each of the 3 types) and 3000 Horadric Phials (Phials). The crafting can be done at the Horadric Lapidary, located in the towns across Sanctuary.

Horadric Phials can be acquired by running Nightmare Dungeons and Horadric Strongrooms and by participating in the new Escalating Nightmares in Diablo 4.
