Learn about the 'A Piece of the Monolith Was Stolen' event in The Sinking City 2. We'll guide you through the details of this mysterious occurrence and its implications.

Hey there! So, you've stumbled upon a bit of a mystery, huh? Let's talk about 'A Piece of the Monolith Was Stolen.' It sounds like something out of a wild story, and honestly, it kind of is. Basically, Monolith, along with her protégé Searing and bodyguard Magnus, was overseeing a dig operation in Earth Land. They were after this bright yellow orb, and Monolith herself went into the crater to grab it. Once she had it, the orb just melted into her hand and vanished. After that, they all warped back to their warship, leaving behind just a hole and a lingering sense of mystery. Later, a robed man shows up at the site, examining the ground and noting the scent of teleportation magic. He seems to think someone found a source of energy and is a bit worried about Monolith just leaving. Fast forward a bit, and we find Death the Kid getting a call from Haruko Haruhara. She's an interstellar fugitive wanted by Monolith, and she's asking Kid about this yellow stone. Apparently, Touma (someone Kid knows) wanted to know why Monolith would go to Earth Land for this rock. Haruko describes it as a round, yellow stone that hurt to look at, and Monolith's entire team backed away while she handled it. Kid doesn't have an immediate answer but agrees to look into it, especially since it could give Touma an advantage. Haruko also mentions that Monolith's warship is heading to Yharnam. She's planning to follow, even though it's super dangerous. Then, we see Monolith and Magnus in Yharnam, which is clearly a dangerous place with corpses and beasts everywhere. They're heading to the Altar of Despair. Magnus asks Monolith why she spared him after he was a rebel responsible for the deaths of over two hundred thousand of her soldiers, and why she took his memories. Monolith implies that Erza Scarlet was better off dead, but that Magnus is more useful alive. She also mentions that the stone claimed everything in Yharnam, and 'The Hunter' claimed the rest. When Magnus asks about the stones, Monolith brings up the Six Kings Fable. It's a lot to take in, I know! But that's the gist of what happened. Keep your eyes peeled as you play; you never know what connections you might uncover.
