Obelisk — Detailed Guide

The Obelisks are the huge floating towers that stand over many ARK maps, each glowing in its own color. They cannot be built or picked up; they are fixed landmarks that every survivor learns to steer by.

What they are used for

  • Transfers: the terminal at the base lets you upload and download items, creatures and survivors where the server allows transfers.
  • Boss fights: on The Island, offering the right artifacts and trophies at an obelisk terminal opens the arena of a guardian boss.

Tips

Obelisk bases are busy places on PvP servers. Do your business quickly and do not leave tames parked there.
