While exploring Beside SkyMirror Lake in Lost Soul Aside, Gethya mentions a path blocked by some monolith tablets. Kaser must explore the vast Skycrest Badlands and locate three monoliths to proceed forward. Some of them might be hard to notice as they are hidden on a high hill or even further away near the lake. It could be even more confusing for some players as the objective simply tells you to explore Skycrest Badlands instead of searching for the monolith tablets.

Skycrest Badlands Monolith Locations In Lost Soul Aside
Monolith Location #1
Upon arriving at the Skycrest Badlands, players can see a bunch of wooden platforms near the destroyed bridge to the right. Defeat the enemies along the way and then use the platforms to go up. Eventually, Kaser will arrive on top of the bridge. Use the platforms on the side to proceed forward to the bridge found left until a monolith is seen at the end of the path. If you are lost, try to activate the challenge and follow the blue orbs as they will lead to the monolith.
Monolith Location #2
Jump down carefully from the high bridge and reach the ground. If players turn slightly left, there will be a huge area surrounded by destroyed ruins. Head there to find the second monolith in Lost Soul Aside. However, make sure to prepare a weapon that deals ice damage as there will be a boss hiding there.
The boss uses lightning attacks and has many AoE hits that will remove a good chunk of your health. So make sure to use perfect dodge to your advantage and keep attacking it relentlessly to finish the fight quickly. Defeating the boss rewards Kaser with the Pendant of Thunder Trinket, which increases the Electrified accumulation efficiency by 13%.
Monolith Location #3
After defeating the boss near the ruins, approach the nearby abandoned village. Head towards the docks and jump onto the available platforms while evading enemies' attack until Kaser reaches the end. Interact with the third and final monolith to proceed with the quest. Again, you can activate the challenge and follow the path of the blue orbs to reach the monolith easily.
Now that all of the monoliths are activated, follow the quest mark deeper into the forest to find the blocked path. Speak with Gethya to remove the roots blocking the way and open up a path in Lost Soul Aside. Head through the big arch and continue exploring the area to complete the quest.
