How To Complete The Obelisk Quest Quickly

Brighter Shores is the newest old school MMORPG by the Gower brothers, creators of the original classic, Runescape. Complete with a vibrant world filled with magic and monsters, Brighter Shores features a wide variety of professions for players to specialize in, much like its predecessor. From Forager to Chef and Guard, Brighter Shores promises to have something for everyone.

One of the first quests players will come across after completing the tutorial is The Obelisk, after Corporal Binns tasks players with gaining a total level of 60. While players are free to achieve this in whatever fashion they choose, The Obelisk should be high on the priority list of things to do as it unlocks Tuning, a way to activate and equip powerful weapons and armor found throughout the game, as well as giving over 10,000 Guard experience upon completion. Learn how to solve The Obelisk’s mysteries and reap the rewards below.

10 Best MMORPGs For Solo Players

MMORPGs are traditionally multiplayer-only experiences, but these MMOs are designed to cater specifically to solo players as well.

The Obelisk Quest Walkthrough In Brighter Shores

Before beginning the quest, players will want to make sure they are capable of defeating a level 10 enemy by increasing their Guard level, equipping item drops from defeated enemies, and crafting potions to heal up during combat. The Obelisk quest itself can be started by speaking with Commander Hackett on the walls of the Town Gates, far to the east from the Town Square, who will ask players to retrieve a stolen key from a goblin thief.

After returning the key, players will receive two untuned swords and must travel to the Hopeport Obelisk, west of the Town Square, to tune them. The Obelisk is damaged upon the player’s arrival, however, and players will need to find the missing Obelisk Shard in Wilhope Crossing, south and east of the Obelisk. The shard is located in the river next to the bridge, leaning against the stone wall.

Returning and using the shard of the Obelisk will have the nearby NPC Channette give players an instruction tablet, and speaking to Channette once more will lead players to Naybeth the Philosopher to learn more. Naybeth can be found in a house along the eastern road leading to the Town Gate, where the quest first began, who will give players four sigil items, matching the symbols located on the edges of the Instruction Tablet.

Use The Sigils Around The Hopeport Obelisk

Once more returning to the Obelisk, players will need to use the sigils on the four Ancient Posts around the Hopeport Obelisk, placing each sigil in the location indicated on the Instruction Tablet. Once completed successfully, players will need to travel to the Training Ground where the tutorial took place and speak with Anjay.

Traveling back to the Obelisk one final time, players will finally be able to repair the Obelisk and tune the two swords given by Commander Hackett, allowing them to be equipped. Completing the quest by speaking to Commander Hackett at the Town Gate will return one of the two swords, but it will reward players with 10,600 Guard experience, giving players a hefty boost on their journey to level 60.
