[[File:Monolith.png|thumb|right|A Monolith is found at the centre of the room.]]

The Monolith is a room encountered in Daemonheim. In order to unlock the doors of a Monolith room, players must activate the Monolith in the centre of the room and charge it to 100%. Once the Monolith is activated, it will begin charging, and [[Mysterious shades]] will spawn randomly throughout the room to attack the Monolith and cause it to lose charge. To protect the Monolith, players must distract the shades by attacking them.

If multiple shades spawn at once, it is advised to hit each one once, then proceed to kill them. Because [[Mysterious shades]] can deal heavy damage over time, especially at higher levels, it is also advised to kill each shade completely if possible and '''not''' simply distract each one; this way players can avoid unnecessarily wasting large amounts of food. Players should target the highest level shades first.


*'''Note:''' All shades will die once the monolith is charged.
*'''Note:''' Contrary to popular belief, activating the monolith with the player with the lowest magic level does '''not''' help.<ref>Postbag from the hedge 44;Wise old tips. http://services.runescape.com/m=rswiki/en/Postbag_44</ref>
*'''Tip:''' It is strategic to wait for a "good start" by not attacking any shades and restarting the obelisk charging if a lot of high-level shades spawn at the beginning.
*'''Tip:''' Teams should spread out amongst the corners, keeping in mind that shades do not spawn around the northeast corner.
*'''Tip:''' It is possible – with quick reflexes and low ping – to whack a shade before it can attack the monolith even once.
