I haven't done deep research, but the research I made only said
"If you kill X ancient last, you have 50/50 chance to get either one of these Jewels".

I haven't got the biggest sample (12 runs, only Madawc last kill), so it could still be "luck" but :

When I kill in this order : Talic -> Korlic -> Madawc
I get Magic Jool
When I kill Korlic -> Talic -> Madawc
I get Lightning Jool.

Maybe this intel is already out there but so far from my research and what I've heard on recent streams, it seems like people are unaware,
So either I've had always "luck" and it was "just RNG playing out" that when I kill Talic first I get Magic,
But I doubt it.

pls link wherever this was covered.

I wanna target fire and cold at some point

Not sure where exactly it was covered but the infos about which ancients loot which jewels was out very very shortly after their release


"The Colossal Jewel that drops depends on which Ancient you defeat last. See the table below."

I believe he is claiming that the first and second order matters as well. Based on his very large 12 run test pool

very interesting observation, I know statues are not that readily available, but I would keep doing this for a couple of runs to see if you ever get it wrong. very very unironically, keep us posted!

Keep me posted
