The Obelisk is a structure on the map where you sacrifice Starless Ash from bosses in exchange for coins, XP and other rewards. Each player has their own Obelisk progress: its level and upgrades stay with you permanently.
Repairing the Obelisk[edit]
The Obelisk starts out broken. To repair it you need:
- Hunting Level 3
- 10 Starless Ash
- 4 Rancid Flesh
- 4 Dusty Bone
Once it is repaired you can sacrifice to it, buy its upgrades, and your boss kills start filling Gareth's Curse Meter (see Curses).
Sacrifice[edit]
Each sacrifice costs 32 Starless Ash. The Obelisk rolls your rewards with an animation; click the Obelisk to fast-forward it. The Sacrifice button shows the most you can currently get from each reward.
- XP: rolled between 50% and 150% of a base amount that scales with your prestige. Raised by the Greed upgrade and your Obelisk Level.
- Coins: rolled within a range that scales with your prestige (see the table below). Raised by the Greed upgrade and your Obelisk Level.
- Obelisk XP: 100–200, raised by the Blessing upgrade and Starborn Scrolls. Used to level up the Obelisk.
- Encrusted Cache: a 9% chance, rising to 12% at Obelisk Level 100. It contains a random Ancient Enchant Tome (see Ancient Enchant Tomes). Getting one is announced to the server.
- Upgrade rolls: if you own Aura, Materialism or Sanguine Shift, each one then rolls its own chance (see Upgrades).
Base coin range before any bonuses:
| Prestige | Coins |
|---|---|
| 0 | 10,000 – 50,000 |
| 10 | 121,500 – 739,000 |
| 20 | 256,000 – 1,896,000 |
| 30 | 418,000 – 3,762,000 |
| 40 | 610,000 – 6,687,000 |
| 50 | 839,000 – 11,179,000 |
Potential percentage[edit]
Each rolled reward shows how lucky the roll was, as a percentage of its possible range:
- 0–25%
- 26–50%
- 51–75%
- 76–99%
- 100% (the maximum roll)
Obelisk Level[edit]
The Obelisk levels from 1 to 100 using Obelisk XP from sacrifices. Each level needs more Obelisk XP than the one before. Every level adds:
- Sacrifice reward bonus: +0.5% coins and XP from sacrifices (+50% at level 100).
- Bonus coins and XP: +0.25% coins and XP from kills (+25% at level 100). The Growth upgrade increases this bonus.
- Encrusted Cache chance: +0.03% (+3% at level 100).
Reaching Level 100 is announced to the whole server and awards an edition-numbered Obelisk Chunk.
Upgrades[edit]
The Obelisk has 10 upgrade tracks with 25 levels each. Upgrades are bought with boss materials. Every track uses one main material at every level, most add a second material from level 11 (or use Opals at every level), and levels 21–25 each also need 1 Obelisk Alloy. The amounts grow with each level.
The Obelisk Level column lists the Obelisk Level needed to buy upgrade levels 1–7, 8–13, 14–19 and 20–25.

Aura[edit]
Each Aura stack lasts for one boss fight. While you have at least one stack, you deal +20% damage to bosses and get +20% boss materials and rare drop chance. Killing a boss you dealt at least 10 damage to, or dying or logging out during a fight, uses up 1 stack. A boss that times out does not use one.
