==Walkthrough==

=== Getting There ===
From the [[Town Square]] of [[Hopeport]], head east through [[Old Street West]] and [[Old Street East]] to reach the [[Town Gates]]. We'll need to head north into the [[North Walls]], fighting or dodging a Level 6 aggressive [[Goblin]] while climbing the staircase before heading south along the wall into [[Town Gates]].

=== Introduction ===
Speak with [[Commander Hackett]] before asking him;

''<u>Cutscene Warning:</u>'' Select; ''<u>Option 3:</u>'' "Do you need any help up here Sir?".

He will inform you that [[Goblin]] incursions are wearing down men and equipment. He just received a new shipment, and that the key to open it is arriving separately for security reasons. "I've got a man fetching is fetching it now".

=== The Key ===
[[File:Theobelisk-goblin.jpg|right|frameless]]
A cutscene plays, showing [[Andrath]] arriving with the key, before a [[Goblin Thief]] snatches it and runs south. [[Commander Hackett]] orders you to catch it.

Run south into [[South Walls]] and kill the Level 10 [[Goblin Thief]]. This is an easy fight, but it's recommended to bring a [[10% Potion Healing]] in case of bad RNG. You can craft one via [[Alchemist]] at Level 0. The [[Goblin Thief]] will use [[Infernae]] damage. After the fight, you will receive [[Commander Hackett]]'s [[Crate Key]].

Head back north into [[Town Gates]] and use the key on [[Commander Hackett]]. He will open the chest and notice that two of the swords are untuned, and inform you that equipment in [[Adothria]] has been tuned at magic obelisks, to be powerful within their vicinity. Equipment untuned remains comparatively weaker. He give's you 2x [[Uncommon Wall Guard's Sword]]<nowiki/>s two tune so that they become usable in [[Hopeport]].

The [[Obelisk]] in [[Hopeport]] is located in [[Hopeport Obelisk]] south from [[Brannof Boulevard]].

=== The Obelisk ===
'''''Option 1 Walk:''''' Head back through the [[North Walls]], trying to avoid a Level 6 aggressive [[Goblin]] before going back west until you reach the [[Town Square]]. As soon as you go west into [[Brannof Boulevard]], take a southern turn into [[Hopeport Obelisk]].

'''''Option 2 Teleport/Walk:''''' Use the [[Spells]]; [[Teleport]] and head to [[Hopeport]], before running South East through [[Training Ground]] before going directly south of [[Stone Street]]. As soon as you go west into [[Brannof Boulevard]], take a southern turn into [[Hopeport Obelisk]].

[[Channette]] and [[Corporal Merissina]] seem to be stuck fixing the [[Obelisk]]. Speak with them and

Select; ''<u>Option 2:</u>'' "Could I help fix it?".

You are told that the [[Obelisk]] was damaged during the [[Goblin]] attack, and that a downspike is missing. They have an idea of where it went, due to the [[Obelisk]] being on a fast flowing river.

=== The Missing Piece ===
[[File:Theobelisk-missingpiece.jpg|right|frameless]]
In order to follow the river which head's east, we need to loop back up north into [[Brannof Boulevard]], east to the [[Town Square]]. Heading south, we end up at the [[Eel Street Bridge]]. Head south to [[Eel Street]] and east to reach [[Wilhope Crossing]]. The [[Missing Obelisk Spike]] is located on the west wall in the river, step off the bridge north. Located next to [[Eel]]<nowiki/>s for [[Fisher]] profession. Click on it to receive the Key Item. Now head back to [[Hopeport Obelisk]].

=== The Tablet ===
''<u>Cutscene Warning:</u>'' After arriving at the [[Obelisk]], use the [[Missing Obelisk Spike]] on it to trigger a cutscene.
[[File:The Obelisk Repair.jpg|right|frameless]]
You attempt to attach the piece which doesn't fit. [[Corporal Merissina]] makes an attempt and notices that plumes of magic ice are holding the other spikes in place. [[Corporal Merissina]] hands you a [[Instruction Tablet]] she was given by [[Captain Jal Degreene]], which shows the repair steps to fix it. She ''"...can't make head nor tail of it"''.

Open your Quest Log ''(Default Hotkey; Q)'' and open the [[Instruction Tablet]] Key Item.

Talk to [[Corporal Merissina]] once more, you acknowledge that you can't make any sense of it either. [[Corporal Merissina]] will speak of [[Naybeth the Philosopher]], an old philosopher who's ''"...very much into ancient cultures and the like"''. She wants you to go see her at her residence near the [[Town Gates]].

=== Naybeth the Philosopher ===
[[File:Theobelisk-naybethshouse.jpg|right|frameless]]
Head back east from the [[Town Square]] until you reach the [[Town Gates]]. Head south, slightly west of the centre of the room to enter [[Naybeth's House]]. After speaking with her, Naybeth wonders if you're a figment of her imagination.

select; <u>''Option 3'':</u> "I'm told you might be able to help me interpret this tablet".

Naybeth notices that the symbols appear to be in the ancient language [[Cren]]. She managed to rescue some tablets when [[Captain Jal Degreene]] was having a clean out.

You will receive four [[Sigil Tile]] Key Items.

=== Repairing the Obelisk ===
[[File:Theobelisk-tabletguide.jpg|right|frameless]]
Head back to [[Hopeport Obelisk]], we will now need to use each [[Sigil Tile]] on it's correct [[Ancient Post]]. There are four at the corners of the room.

In order of Key Items within the Quest Log from left to right and top to bottom;

''<u>Cutscene Warning after Tablet 4 Usage</u>''

Use Tablet 1 in the North East [[Ancient Post]]

Use Tablet 2 in the North East [[Ancient Post]]

Use Tablet 3 in the North East [[Ancient Post]]

Use Tablet 4 in the North East [[Ancient Post]]

=== The Magic Suppressor ===
After placing all of the Tablet's on their respective pillars, a cutscene triggers and [[Wellambran the Cryoknight]] appears wondering what the emergency summon is for. Speak with [[Wellambran the Cryoknight]], and he will ask you why he has been summoned.

Select: ''<u>Option 1</u>'': "This obelisk is broken".

[[Wellambran the Cryoknight]] notices that the cryojet is broken, requiring a simple fix. He tries to cast a spell but is left on confusion when his magic doesn't work.

Select: <u>''Option 2'':</u> "Maybe our magic suppressor is blocking you".

[[Wellambran the Cryoknight]] needs the suppressor turned off in order to fix the cryojet with some magic.

Head to the [[Training Ground]] via [[Teleport]] to [[Hopeport]] or by walking north of [[Stone Street]]. Speak with [[Anjay Sandorman]] and

Select: <u>''Option 4'':</u> "We need you to grant magic access to a Cryoknight".

[[Anjay Sandorman]] notes that no one has seen a [[Cryoknight]] in years, and that he didn't even though they still existed. Surprised, he tells you to meet him at [[Hopeport Obelisk]].

Head back to [[Hopeport Obelisk]] via [[Brannof Boulevard]] and speak with [[Anjay Sandorman]] again to trigger a scene. Anjay cannot believe he is seeing a [[Cryoknight]], while [[Wellambran the Cryoknight]] is surprised that [[Anjay Sandorman]] himself is a magic suppressor.

After a short conversation, Anjay notes that Wellambran's aura feels quite familiar. [[Wellambran the Cryoknight]] casts a spell and asks you to try fix the spike now.

=== Quest Completion ===
Click the Obelisk and use Key Item [[Missing Obelisk Spike]]. The Obelisk is now fixed, and you now have the ability to tune equipment to Hopeport and other areas. Each Episode has it's own Obelisk for [[Tuning]] any un-tuned [[Weapons]] or [[Armor]]. Click the Obelisk and use your [[Uncommon Wall Guard's Sword]]s on it, before heading back to [[Town Gates]] to use them on [[Commander Hackett]].
