Have you entered Marten's Bluff via the Mines?-- Idol is only To be found if you have.

There's a switch on a wall in upper MB. It's in the northeast corner of the fort. That section of upper MB can only be accessed from a portion of lower MB that can only (at least originally) be accessed from the mine tunnels. Once you've flipped that switch, go to the rapax crusher and look around.

Yes, you should find it there. It was most difficult "quest" (not fight) area for me. I searched and searched and search for yours and still there was no Martens idol.
Then I used map from walktrought, there was arrow saying here it is. But I was not able to find my way there...
And then finaly I had it in my hands and then... (ach, you will see).

As Danicek says, getting the idol is about the closest you'll get to "rat in a maze". You must do certain things in a certain order to make it work. The game does a pretty good job of leading you thru the correct sequence. I think the idol hunt catches a lot of players off guard since Wiz8 is so non-sequential. The contrast gives you mental whiplash. I was fortunate that the first time I played, I stumbled thru the back door (mine tunnels) before ever seeing the front door (via swamp). I think that makes it easier to determine where to go.

Yah. and many people don't notice that Z'ant has two doors, both open with the same key, (one doesn't look like a door) so there's already a way between the Elevator and the main part...And the opening the trapdoor is a must, too, if you want to move freely between the Teleporter and the Swamp, before anybody can cast Portals.

in the last umpani mission you get a pulse pick from general Yamir - so you can go through the elevator room and open the door with the message "nothing happens" with the pulse pick.

this is an alternative to the way through the mines.

There's a Pulse Pick in the area you get to from the Mine Tunnels, too, that's what i meant by 'key'. I'm usually in LMB before i go to the Umpanis, bcuz their Teleporter is much handier. But it's pretty nice of SirTech to give us so many ways...
