1. Location
Found near the Obsidian Vault Beacon. Seventh major encounter in the recommended progression.
2. Rewards
- Monolith Fragment ×1
- Gloom (roughly 65,500 — one of the largest payouts; confirm in-game)
💰 Worth it: This fight's Gloom reward is among the biggest — prioritize it if you're pushing to strengthen your character for the endgame.
3. How to Beat It
- Expect a heavy-hitting, slower boss — wait out its big attacks, then punish
- Harden to trade safely — absorb a hit and keep your offense going
- Dodge red attacks — unblockable, use i-frames
- Parry for Break — Riposte for big damage windows
💡 Endgame prep: You're in the back half now — make sure your weapon is upgraded at the Tarforge and your Shell abilities are unlocked before pushing further.
🎯 Bottom line: The Monolith is a slow-but-heavy late-game wall with a payoff worth the grind.
