RELATED: The Best Roguelikes On Xbox Game Pass
The playable characters, in particular, as a large aspect of Across the Obelisk’s progression, as the game initially started with only a couple in Early Access, but has now grown into having 16 different playable characters total across four different Classes. That said, four of them are unlocked at the start and the remaining 12 take quite a bit of work and problem-solving in order to obtain. So, let’s go over each character in Across the Obelisk, one by one, and detail how exactly they’re unlocked.
A General Pattern For Character Unlocks
Before diving in headfirst, let’s talk a bit about how characters are unlocked in Across the Obelisk, in general. In the full release version of the Campaign, players will clear four maps in total out of a possible five. They’ll start in Senenthia, beat the Boss there, and have the option to travel to Velkarath, Aqurfall Marsh, or Faeborg next, clear that boss, and pick another of the three (now two) locations to go to, before finally ending up in The Void for the last act.
These location decisions matter, as a lot of the character-unlock quests, require players to interact, gather, or clear certain Map Nodes in specific areas before the character is unlocked. This heavily replayable aspect of the game is exactly why it’s one of the more underrated roguelikes that needs more attention. With that in mind, let’s get into exactly how each character joins the party.
