A Soul obelisk appears in Menaphos periodically. They can be interacted with to gain a large amount of city reputation (85/5s), Runecrafting and Prayer experience, at the cost of dealing some damage to the player over time. If the player does not have level 50 Prayer, double experience is gained in Runecrafting instead from the obelisks.
Background
After a teaser for the Magister, the obelisks started spawning in Menaphos. It is unclear whether or not this soul obelisk is the same as the one found at Soul Wars, which was built by Oreb's pupil, Nomad.
Mechanics
- Multiple soul obelisks may be spawned in at any given time in multiple worlds, with one obelisk per world.
- Each soul obelisk lasts 7 minutes and 30 seconds before despawning.
- When an obelisk spawns in a world, there is a game message: A soul obelisk has spawned in the [district] district of Menaphos!
Limitations
Up to 20,000 reputation can be gained per day from the obelisks. Attempting to interact with an obelisk after reaching the cap prompts the following message: "Your soul has been weakened too much by the soul obelisk. You cannot attempt to hold back the soul obelisks any more today."

Tips
- Players should bring food to heal when needed while interacting with the obelisk. To heal without interrupting the obelisk interaction, players can put food on their hotbar and then press the appropriate key. Expensive spices will increase the effectiveness of food. An Enhanced Excalibur will also grant lifepoints while only taking up one inventory space.
- Players can right-click the entrances to Shifting Tombs in order to quickly travel between districts in Menaphos. This is useful for locating obelisks, and going to the available bank in the Merchant district.
