Monolith (Institute of Tchort)

Crystal monolith in west wing

“ Suspended in the center of the room, surrounded by cables and various electronics, is a half-shattered crystal monolith. It is dark and rough on the outside, but from within the cracks emanates enticing blue light. Like watching bonfire, there is something primal that draws you to stare into its depths and listen to its humming. ”

— In-game description

This mysterious crystal monolith appears in the derelict west wing of Institute of Tchort. It is the source of interference Efreitor Mateo's unit was searching for when they disappeared.

Like the Mysterious Pillars and the Crystal Mainframe, characters with 7^Verify or higher Will can experience a vision by focusing on the monolith.

It's design may be a reference to the "Monolith" from the STALKER series of video games, which is visually similar, and revered by a group by the same name.
