How to activate a Requiem Obelisk in Warframe: Locations and more

As part of the ongoing Nightwave challenges in Warframe, players are sometimes asked to activate a Requiem Obelisk three times. It’s easier said than done if you know what to look for.

That said, here’s where you can find a Requiem Obelisk in Warframe, along with a handy map to guide your way and how to activate them.

All Requiem Obelisk locations in Warframe

A Requiem Obelisk can be found in the open world sections in the Cambion Drift on Deimos. It does not matter if you choose to play it as a Free Roam objective or through a Bounty. 

Once here, you’ll notice these broken-down spires that have the symbols that you can see on Requiem mods. Here are all the locations on the Cambion Drift map for reference:

The red circles above show where an Obelisk may spawn, but it isn’t guaranteed they’d always be there. However, there will be at least three you can find if you follow this map. 

You can also find a few, go back to the Necralisk or your Orbiter, then go again. But that can be a waste of time with all the loading screens. The time cycle in the Cambion Drift doesn’t mean anything either. The Obelisks can spawn at any time.

You can also find these Obelisks underground when taking on the Isolation Vault bounties. These count toward the weekly challenge, too.

How to activate a Requiem Obelisk

To activate a Requiem Obelisk, you need to unlock your Operator or Drifter. With either one of them, use their respective weapon and shoot at the Obelisk. You can also use a fully-built amp for this to work as long as it deals Void damage. 

If done correctly, the Obelisk should reconstruct itself and attract a mob of Infested enemies. Upon the tower coming together, you should make progress in completing this Nightwave challenge. Do this three times, and the 4,500 Nightwave standing is all yours.
