How do you destroy the Monolith?

I control almost the entire map but I cannot destroy the Monolith pretender. Any tips?

Monoliths have a weakness against point-blank annihilation. They're no harder to kill than any other prot-30 thing with hundreds of hitpoints, with the added benefit that a monolith is unable to strike back at you, and can only cast a limited number of spells before it passes out, which hurts its protection values. Anything which is armor-piercing or armor-negating will rip it up easily.

Slap it with the Staff of Kurgi, or Magebane. Or shoot it with a Black Bow of Botulf. Or use Gate Cleavers and other fun toys combined with Curse. Or use physically strong units with Weapons of Sharpness. Or even a horde of Manikin might be able to kill it via armor-negating fatigue attacks. Or just preach it to death...

'Rock to Mud' (Alteration 10) works quite well on Monoliths.

Or even below Monoliths -> 'Leaning Tower of Pisa' syndrome: the nastiest affliction a Monolith will ever get!

Alternatively, you can try 'Rock to Stone', (Alteration 0).

That causes the Monolith to suffer the "Limp" affliction.

Well, I finally had to preach his *** out of existance after countless losses of Avalon Knights and ethereal crossbow wielding units . l. .
