(SOLVED) Increased monster spawn rate for good??? SPOILER inside

SPOILER

I have found the obelisk in the bee area, it did have a warning, but so do skulls with Auras, and there are items that are dark or evil but turn out to just be good items to equip.

So I did activate it - I mean it is in the Forest - first location, easily accessible even despite all the bees. And now the monsters respawn like crazy, in mere seconds. And I read in a guide that it is permanent?!

It makes the rest of the game practically impossible, I mean, I have not completed the mountains, the mines or the island - in the last two I die almost immediately, with the new respawn rate my chances are 0. I have invested 40 hours in one save and now what?

It is definitely a bad design - the obelisk should be leaking mana in time, and then the rate should go back to normal, otherwise it can break the game (or it should have been placed in the most difficult location, so that it can make the rest of the game fun, not in the easiest one, where it can just ruin the rest of playthrough).

I will still try to play with this ridiculous spawn rate but this is something that decreases the game's rating to me significantly.

UPDATE SOLVED:
Either the guide was not updated or its author did not know that, but in desperation I went back to the bee area and interacted [E] with the obelisk, which turned it off, and the spawn rate returned to normal.
