Yes, but as long as they,

- Do not try to negate his normal summon, so no Solemn Judgment.

- Do not try to respond to his summon. Obelisk's summon can't be responded to, so no Bottomless Trap Hole.

- Do not target him, so no Sakuretsu Armor.

Spells and Traps that do none of the above can still affect him. Burden of the Mighty, Smashing Ground and Divine Wrath can all affect him, as can Torrential Tribute when used in response to another monster's summon.

What is the ability of the Obelisk The Tormentor?

Obelisk the Tormentor (Effect Monster)JUMP-EN037DIVINE/ Divine-Beast/Effect/10ATK/4000 DEF/4000You must Tribute 3 monsters you control to Normal Summon this card (you cannot Set this card). The Normal Summon of this card cannot be negated. When this card is Normal Summoned, Spells, Traps, and Effect Monster effects cannot be activated. This card cannot be targeted by the effects of Spells, Traps or Effect Monsters. If this card is Special Summoned, it is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase. You can Tribute 2 monsters to destroy all monsters your opponent controls. This card cannot declare an attack the turn this effect is activated.


Can obelisk the tormentor's effect be negated by the counter trap card divine punishment?

Yes. Obelisk's protections only prevent his summon from being negated, and stops him from being targeted. Counter Traps almost never actually target anything, Divine Punishment is no exception and can chain to Obelisk's effect activation to negate it and destroy him. This means it can be taken out by cards cards that choose by a factor, such as Fissure and Smashing Ground.


Does bottomless trap hole work on obelisk the effect monster?

Normal summon, no. Special summon, yes.The reason is, when Obelisk is normal summoned, no spells, traps or monster effects can be activated. That means it prevents anything being activated in the 'summon response' window, which is where you'd normally use cards like Trap Hole, Bottomless Trap Hole, Torrential Tribute, etc.


Does 'The Lady in Wight' negate the effect of 'Magic Cylinder'?

No, she doesn't 'negate' it. She protects your other face-up Lv3 or lower Zombies from being affected by Spells or Traps, but does not negate the effect itself.


Is a monster that is immune to spells and traps affected by Skill Drain?

Depends which was on the field first. If Skill Drain was already active, the monster's protective continuous effects will never become active.If the monster was on the field first and Skill Drain activated after, then since the monster is unaffected by traps, Skill Drain will not affect it.
