Black monolith wtf

[Selome]

So i tried to clear the black monolith. killed a few and retreated. next time i came back there was FIFTEEN ♥♥♥♥♥♥ NECROSERVANTS. HOW DO YOU EVEN CLEAR 15 NECROSERVANTS AND LITERALLY 20+ HONOUR GUARDS?

Fwark That.....

[Pringles™]

Guess you need to hire a regular, friendly-neighbourhood, medieval Chuck Norris for that one ;)

[Dio]

Lost my whole company, gg. Really wanted that armour in the Monolith. Next game....

retreat again, move away, wait a few days. try again.

i feel like you should be able to have hand grenades when you attempt the monolith. i'll never, ever try it again.

Usally when retreating from black monolith, there is an additional spawn of 3 (Three!) NS when returning.
So when you have not killed any NS on your first try, there should have been 12 (9+3) NS.

I had a question about the Black Monolith as well. Could someone please answer here? Thanks!

This is why I don't want to try until I know what the heck to expect, and until I have a sufficiently strong force.

I once took a noble contract to kill a orc warlord. When the orc army(22 orcs) spawn, I lured them to black monolith and attack them. During the fight, orcs held half of undeads and bought me time to finish the other half. By the time all orcs were slained by undead, it's pretty easy to finish off the few remaining undeads. I wouldn't stand a chance to fight the undeads or orcs alone, but with the "help" of orcs, I only lost one brother to win.

Honor doesn't win your fights, make your ememy fight for you does.

You can get a contract/mission during the undead invasion which will send you to the black monolith to retrieve something (dont exactly remember) and then the black monolith is way easier but you still get all the loot including the unique body armour. I had it around day 300 or so and there where only 30 monsters instead of 47.

I found a cheesy way to get the black monolith. i managed to clear it with no injuries/death at day 220 on begineer difficulty. i had the noble war crisis and a company of 25 men were chasing me. i slowly lured them(took a lot of retries) to the monolith and attack them there. the battle was 12 vs 67 in total. only took me one try Managed to get the armor easy. the battle ended with about 80+ drops :o
And this time only 7 necroservants spawn and not frigign 15.
Although it was terrifying cause there was 2 arbalester running towards me screaming for help. and they got mercilessly cut down by 3 necroservants
