Soul Obelisk

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

The Soul Obelisk (in-game Soul obelisk) is an artefact used "to harvest the souls of the weak and unready." It is featured in the Soul Wars minigame, which was released in 10 February 2009.

In the minigame, players try to capture the Soul obelisk. Once the obelisk is captured, players may use the Soul fragments on the obelisk in order to lower the enemy's avatar's Slayer level.

[edit] Behind the Scenes

Below is the quote mentioning the Soul Obelisk:

“	On the deepest, darkest, most mysterious of our backwater islands, an eternal struggle rages, unknown to the residents of RuneScape until now. Structured much like Castle Wars, this will be a "quick to access, tough to master" conflict-based minigame. The avatars of Destruction and Creation vie for control of the Soul Obelisk, an ancient and powerful artefact used to harvest the souls of the weak and unready. Get ready to grab your blade, staff or bow and battle through Slayer creatures, collecting fragments of their souls to feed to the ever-hungry obelisk. Rewards include combat XP while playing the game, Pest Control-style XP rewards and a few new pets for you to lead.	”

[edit] Trivia

• While near the Soul Obelisk, turning the volume up loud will sound as if the Obelisk pulses with the word "Yay".

• The Soul Obelisks somewhat resemble the rotating obelisks that Yu Yevon uses as a magic source in Final Fantasy X.

• If during the demo, the player can go back to the soul obelisk after nomad has killed the player, Zimberfizz reveals that Nomad created the Soul Obelisk.
