The obelisk is a structure in the Wings of Liberty campaign. There are two invincible ones in the mission, "Echoes of the Future". Powering them up with a pylon will give the player one protoss research point for each.^[1]

DevelopmentEdit

The obelisk was concieved as a result of StarCraft II's unlimited selection. The downside to unlimited selection was its interference with micro-management. Early playtests resulted in little base management and massive armies being built up and attack-moved across the map.^[2] Over the course of its development the obelisk was a support structure, formerly known as the dark pylon.^[3][4] However, the dark pylon became a separate structure called the monolith, which was canceled.
