Encountering the Monolith faction in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl? Learn about this quasi-religious cult, their beliefs, and how they'll try to stop you.
Alright, stalker, let's talk about the Monolith. You'll be running into these guys a lot, and they're not exactly the friendly type. Think of them as a cult, super devoted to something they call the 'Monolith,' which they believe is hidden deep in the Zone's center. Most folks just call them lunatics, but don't let that fool you – they're dangerous and they'll do anything to stop anyone from getting close to what they worship.
Their main goal has always been to guard the center of the Zone. They're pretty fanatical about it. Word on the street is they've got a big base somewhere way out there, but nobody knows exactly where. Just be ready for them to be hostile to pretty much everyone who isn't one of them.
You'll see them pop up in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, and of course, they're a major threat in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. They even have a supporting role in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. Basically, they're the main bad guys you'll be dealing with across the series.
They're known for their belief in the Wish Granter, which they think is some kind of alien artifact right in the heart of the Zone. Keep your eyes peeled and your trigger finger ready when you're out there.
