How to Use Obelisk in Balatro & What It Does – GameSkinny
Not really Obelisk the Tormentor, but what can you ask of Balatro?
Obelisk adds +X0.2 Mult for each consecutive hand that you play if it’s not the hand that you played the most. It starts with X1, so don’t worry. You won’t do stuff like dividing by zero, and Obelisk will never harm your poker hand. But how do you know which hand is your most played poker hand? You don’t, unless you write down what you’ve played and/or manually remember everything.

How to Use Obelisk in Balatro
Obelisk indeed has great potential, but if you are keen on maximizing it, you really must get it as your first Joker so that it can build up properly. Also, in the early stages, you want to avoid skipping any blinds, so that you can play many hands and easily pass the rounds with “crap” hands such as:
- Pair
- Two Pairs
- Three of a Kind …with just an occasional “sprinkle” of a high-value hand to “close” the round. Then, after a few rounds, when you feel it might be impossible to clear the round with low-tier hands (you really should try to write down how many you’ve played), you should start unleashing the Obelisk. However, you need to be very careful and try your best to dilute the powerful hands as much as possible so that you don’t play them too much. For example, if you’ve played five “two pairs” hands, try to balance between playing straights, flushes, and full houses without playing them five times individually. The sad reality is that you’ll sell Obelisk as soon as you get any other, more reasonable Joker with a multiplier bonus, but take Obelisk for what it is: a potential early-game booster for a few rounds.
