The Elephant Obelisk is a legendary trinket in ARC Raiders. It is a small, high-value collectible that you find while out in the field, and it carries a flavor note tying it to the world’s lore. The description reads that it is “an object of particular nomadic fixation,” with some believing that these legendary beasts of burden carried the Launch Towers into place.
Quick answer: Pick up the Elephant Obelisk by scavenging during raids, then either sell it on the marketplace or hand it in for the Converging Paths expedition project that needs one.

How to get the Elephant Obelisk
The Elephant Obelisk comes from scavenging. You acquire it by searching containers, bodies, and points of interest during a raid, the same way you collect other trinkets and loot. There is no crafting recipe or vendor path tied to it, so finding one is down to looting and bringing it back out alive.
You can confirm a successful pickup when the item appears in your inventory after a raid. Trinkets like this only count toward sales or projects once you extract with them, so a death in the field means the item is lost.
Marketplace value and selling
On the player marketplace, the Elephant Obelisk has traded around a 24-hour median of 236 Seeds, with low trade volume. Its fixed base sell value is 10,000, so listing it against other players generally returns more than a straight vendor sale when buyers are active.
Because the trade count is small, the going rate can move quickly. If you are selling, check current listings before pricing yours, since a thin market means a single sale can shift the median.
Expedition project that uses the Elephant Obelisk
The Elephant Obelisk is a required turn-in for an expedition project. The Converging Paths line calls for one Elephant Obelisk during Phase 4 of 6, in the Create Emergency Caches step. If you are working through that expedition, hold onto the trinket rather than selling it.
Only a single copy is needed for that phase. Once you submit it, the project step updates to reflect the contribution, which confirms the hand-in is registered.
Note: The Elephant Obelisk also appears as a legendary reward tier in the Forgotten Relics event, where it is available for 150 Merits alongside other relic items.
Should you sell it or keep it
The decision comes down to your current goals. If you have not yet cleared Converging Paths Phase 4, keep one Elephant Obelisk for the Create Emergency Caches step. If that project is already done or you have a spare, selling it for Seeds is the more useful outcome since the trinket has no other ongoing function.
