Yes. You use the "search" facility at the top right of the page, and look for "Monolith".

More immediately helpful : You use armor negating weapons (such as Gate Cleavers on commanders), or you use troops / weapons / spells that inflict fatigue damage rather than physical damage. Once the Monolith is "napping", it isn't casting spells anymore.

Insta-death spells like Disintegrate and Magic Duel can also be useful, but mages who can effectively cast them may be hard to come by, plus you need some luck in getting through the defense.

Others like Banefire or Gift from the Heavens aren't affected by resistances, and either ignore armor (Banefire) or do so much damage (GftH) that the Monolith's armor won't help.

The etherealness will only help the monolith against your normal troops / unequipped commanders, but luck will eliminate 50% of the damage / effects against it.
