Alrighty matey, I’ve been through me fair share of quests in Brighter Shores, and this one here, The Obelisk, is a doozy! It’s like a pirate’s treasure hunt with a whole lotta puzzles thrown in for good measure.


As you venture through Brighter Shores, you may stumble upon unrefined or malfunctioning items, but you won’t be able to use them effectively until you finish the quest to repair the Obelisk first.

The Obelisk functions as a mystical device for adjusting gear, rendering them functional. Unfortunately, the Hopeport Obelisk appears to be malfunctioning. Its issue isn’t something that can be easily resolved by mere tapping or hitting – figuring out and repairing it is quite complex.

In this walkthrough, we’ll show you how to finish “The Obelisk” mission in Brighter Shores, enabling you to calibrate all your gear at Hopeport!

How to Complete The Obelisk Quest in Brighter Shores

To initiate the “The Obelisk” quest within Brighter Shores, proceed towards the easternmost point of Hopeport’s Town, specifically its gates in Episode 1. The quest will become accessible once you have completed the game’s tutorial and achieved level 60.

Upon arrival, navigate towards the pathway leading above the entrance, and have a conversation with Commander Hackett. Mention that Corporal Binns requested assistance, and a brief cutscene will ensue. Subsequently, a cunning Goblin Thief will emerge, snatching a key for a treasure chest!

Navigate straight south from Commander Hackett’s location to pursue the elusive Goblin Thief and eliminate it. Ensure that you are targeting a Goblin Thief, not a Goblin Chief, as only the former contributes to this quest. Note that the slain Goblin Thief will drop the key to Commander Hackett’s treasure chest.

Go back to Commander Hackett, hand over the key to him. Once he unlocks the chest, he’ll discover two unpolished swords within. He’ll then bestow these swords upon you and instruct you to proceed to the Obelisk next.

You can find the Hopeport Obelisk directly southwest of the Town Square, as shown on the map above.

Upon reaching your destination, locate the Obelisk in the center of the room and attempt to adjust the swords. Corporal Merissina will inform you that it’s not cooperating at the moment; apparently, the Downspike has been taken away and seems to have flowed towards the river.

To locate the Downspike, head towards Wilhope Crossing, which is situated to the southeast of the Hopeport Obelisk, as indicated in the diagram.

You’ll find the enormous, drifted-down Obelisk Spout near the riverbank by the bridge. Remarkably, it must have floated here! So, retrieve it and make your way back to the Hopeport Obelisk.

Deciphering the Tablet

Engage with the Hopeport Obelisk to insert the Downspike, but unfortunately, this didn’t manage to repair the Obelisk. Corporal Merissina will provide you with a tablet detailing how to mend the Obelisk, but she’s having trouble understanding the instructions herself.

Once you’ve got the tablet, click on the Quest icon located at the upper right corner of the screen and choose the “Instruction Tablet” option.

It appears that the tablet contains symbols that none of us seem to comprehend. After examining the tablet, have another conversation with Corporal Merissina. She’ll suggest that you consult Naybeth, who is probably the one capable of interpreting the tablet correctly.

You’ll locate Naybeth’s residence immediately to the south of the city gates in Hopeport. It’s the unique structure among them that allows entrance.

Speak with Naybeth and let her know that someone mentioned she might decipher the tablet for you. She’ll give you four unique Sigil Tiles. Since these sigils match those on the Instruction Tablet, it seems they are crucial in repairing the Obelisk! Head back to the Hopeport Obelisk immediately now.

Here’s your task: The Obelisk puzzle is now solvable with all the necessary components at hand. Align your viewpoint towards the north and search for the four Ancient Posts in the vicinity. You will then place the Sigil Tiles on these posts as per the instructions on the tablet. Remember that ‘north’ on the tablet is depicted at its bottom side. The diagram above illustrates where each sigil should be positioned, so you only need to replicate it for correct placement.

The Cryoknight Appears

Arranging all Sigil Tiles correctly will bring a Cryoknight directly before the Obelisk. After viewing a brief scene, engage the Cryoknight in conversation. He’ll try to repair the Obelisk on his own, but the Magic Suppressor of Hopeport prevents him. Unfortunately, solving that tile puzzle didn’t manage to fully restore the Obelisk in Brighter Shores.

Now you’ll need to go speak with Anjay Sandorman at the Training Ground. You should remember them from the game’s tutorial, but they are on the northwestern part of Hopeport.

After reaching your destination, inform Anjay that you require him to provide magical access for a Cryoknight. His astonishment will lead him to the Hopeport Obelisk to investigate. Make sure to also make your way back to the Obelisk to stay with him.

Have a conversation with Anjay near the Hopeport Obelisk and listen to everything he has to say. After that, interact with the Obelisk and apply the Downspike once more. Finally, the Obelisk should start functioning again!

To try it, click the Obelisk once more and choose ‘Tune Item’. Next, pick both swords that Commander Hackett provided earlier. These swords should now be correctly tuned and usable. It appears the Hopeport Obelisk has been activated at last!
