The child suddenly starts to weep, and clings to my knees. It implores me never to leave. It doesn’t want to be alone. I should stay here forever. We should be reunited. Whole again once more.
Answers:
- Stay – Standing with Korvax decreases.
- Comfort, then leave – Standing with Korvax increases, you learn an Atlas word, and get an item.
- Leave – Standing with Korvax decreases.
Neutral Monolith Puzzles
1. Description: There are three vast columns of words on the ancient structure, each written in a different alphabet. The first columns words are like savage runes scratched in sand, the second shows precise sequences of dots. The final column has wide and welcoming letters, almost appearing hand-written in hard stone.The dirt and blood of ancient hand prints cover the base of each column.
Answers:
- Press hand against letters – Learn a Gek word and an Atlas word.
- Press hand against dots – This will teach you one Atlas and one Korvax word.
- Press hand against runes – You’ll get a Vy’keen word and an Atlas word.
2. Description: I’m running my fingers over the ancient glowing runes, when I look down. An expanding pool of liquid metal has rippled out of the obelisk’s base. My feet have already been covered. In the bright reflection I see my expression turn to horror as I begin to sink.
I feel warming hands on my legs, pulling me down into the silver sheet. Every hazard detection device on my multi-tool is going haywire. Radiation, heat, cold… every danger imaginable.
Answers:
- Struggle – You’ll get increase in hazard protection, and take damage.
- Sink – You’ll learn a new Atlas word, get technology repaired and receive an item.
3. Description: Two stone blocks slowly revolve on the base of the monolith. Two beads of red light then trace images on each one. The red lights then pool together and liqueft in an indentation below. The closer I get, the more agitated the red pools become.
The images both show masked electronic lifeforms. The first shows the lifeform absorbing power to break free from its shackles. The second shows it hiding from it captors.
Answers:
- Place hand on the lifeform taking shetler – You’ll get an Exosuit upgrade, and learn an Atlas word.
- Place hand on the lifrform breaking free – You’ll get a new multi-tool blueprint, and learn new Atlas word.

hello, how can i solve this problem with this page showing? eyeg
I don’t get the same answer options as stated here. Guess they changed them in one of the updates.
Description: “Memories of Tugagium”
First Spawn… power… low … give… element… organic… (*omvari)…
“The monolith’s glyphs take on a faint yellow tinge, the flicker and disappear. It has no power: the mysterious forces that fuel these stones are weak. I hear a faint crackling whisper on the planetary breeze.
Answers:
⦁ Insert organic element (40 Condensed Carbon) – Gives one Atlas word and recharges you health
⦁ Insert catalyctic element (20 Sodium) – Gives nothing
⦁ Insert metal element (25 Ferrite Dust) – Gives nothing
* I only put Omvari because I have not found the translated word yet.
Omvari is just a placeholder since I have not obtained hte translated word yet.
This is incorrect,none of the right componets needed, I took damage.
4. Description: (Ashes of the Sutiorant-Narn)
A beak emerges from the ancient stone. It’s shouting, but can’t be heard. In the stone above someone, long ago, has scrawled advice for those who approach it.
The beak screams wordlessly at me, furiously intoning the words of the ancient beings that once worshiped here. My scanner detects traces of oxides around it, but can’t specify which ones.
Answers:
Feed beak rare oxide (titanium) – You’ll learn two Gek words.
Feed beak uncommon oxide (zinc) – You’ll learn two Gek words, one Atlas word, and get a Gek relic.
Feed beak common oxide (iron) – You’ll learn two Gek words, and one Atlas word.
the Bifode Fragment gave me a second puzzle
*partially translated* underling! drink nitr healing spittle or drink nitr recharging spawning syrup mem nitr First Spawn! choose or spr!
A terrible thirst overwhelms me, but my hydration systems are suddenly inoperable. My throat is dry, and I feel dazed. Two ancient stone cups appear.
The first is vibrant red chalice full of a stick bubbly transparent liquid. The other is embossed with the shape of a circular red shield, and has a faint yellow tone. Neither look appetizing, but if I don’t take in water my death feels certain. My hand wavers between the two.
1) Drink the transparent liquid
2) Drink the yellow liquid-chose this al; systems stored and repaired gek relic and word

this monolith just offered me another puzzle?
Gek Monolith
Ashes of the Nidonet-Yurop
The monolith has the smell of burnt metal and heavy industry. Strange runes swirl and transform, forcing an image deep into my mind.
I look into the past. I see a small beaked figure, silhouetted by the light of a forge, industriously hammering armour. Next to it, a cloaked companion idly watches–seemingly content to avoid the work. Both look at me. I must choose.
Choose the worker -> i have pleased the spirit, my equipment is filled with energy( health restored/sheilds, equipment repaired, gek relic, atlas word fragments )
choose the onlooker-> i have angered the spirits…. (equipment damaged, gek standing decreased, tempture decreased)
Gek monolith: Dreams of Leviu-Sagra
A strange new reality grips me. The ancient structure swings open to reveal a body encased in ice. It is a patchwork of different parts. Its ragged beak appears to have been stitched on with animal gut.
A hand written sign in the language of the ancient traders can be seen above the body’s head. Some sort of fuel would most likely melt the ice…
(1) melt ice: take damage, decreased standing with gek
(2) leave: increased gek standing, one atlas word, one gek relic.
(3) locate portal: costs a gek relic (unfortunately i didnt have a gek relic but i assume it just reveals a nearby portal)
Legacy of letto-lent (Vy’keen)
None hamper the path towards Dryn’dargh as The Sentinals. They must be destroyed. Their time will be ended. So has it been written, so it shall come to be. This the Vy’keen swear.
– Seek help with language. (Learn new Vy’keen word)
– Seek knowledge of the past. (Historical data revealed)
It revealed another ruin location for me…
I just got one on a Gek world:
Monolith says: Nisogaarkko! Elj {Gek First Spawn} odisk kuje {destroy} nitr aurup! {words have been translated}
I see a strange vision. A small winged creature lands on the very top of the monolith. Suddenly, it’s eyes glow red and it’s head revolves in a full circle. It screams for mercy in an ancient voice that clearly wants itself dead.
The poor animal has clearly broken it’s neck, but the monolith’s power of possession still animates it. I wonder if the right thing would be to shoot it, and put it out of it’s misery.
1) Shoot the creature – Reward: Increased Gek Standing, replenished health, 1 Gek Relic
2) Leave the creature alone
If you Leave the creature alone, it will end the vision
If you “2) Leave the creature alone” you get no reward or punishment.
Translation, so sorry if not exactly the same:
The marks on monolith start to glow yellow, flicker, and then disappear. Lack of fuel – mysterious powers that propelled the stones, have weakened. I hear a slight whisper of the planetary breeze and I notice a hole at the bottom of the monument.
Theoretically, resources I collected could fit in the hole…
Put:
1) Radioactive element – Health, better standing with gek, gek artifact (or other precious item)
2) Oxide element.
3) Silicate element.
Sorry for bad translation, I’m translating this from Polish so it might be different from the English version:
“The reality changes. I’m standing in a crater under an absolutely black sky, knees deep in a bizarre syrup, which glows pink in the darkness. Round eggs float around me. Some of those covered in slime spheres stink horribly, others smell of sweetness and delicacy.
Stinking eggs are infecting the breeding pond. I feel an urge to separate them.
1. Remove the eggs that smell bad from the pond. ( this one will decrease your Gek reputation)
2. Remove the eggs that smell pretty from the pond.
remove sweet smelling eggs: gek reputation increase, learn an atlas word, and receive an item
Removing the eggs that smell pretty will give you Atlas word and Gek Rep
Lava Riddle
I’ve found this one in a Gek system so it might be a Gek Monolith, but I’m not quite sure. The text says something like that there is a guy in lava and you can either
1) cool the lava with your liquid thing
2) take risk and try to pull the guy out of the lava – I chose this one and I got a C tank multi tool in exchange, received some damage and learned a new Gek word.
Memories of Porpes
Korvaxechoes bless zenam language. Ort zay roshary
I’m trying to read the ancient glyphs when a liquid metal lasso emerges and wraps itself around my helmet. It freezes in place, before pulling my head into contact with the glow of the monolith.
The ancient stone is warm, and deep inside I hear the hum of an arcane technology as it prepares to unleash itself. I look up back up to the glyphs to try to guess why this might be happening. They talk to me in an alien tongue.

Visitation of Tecon-Toro
“A sudden pulse of destructive energy flows through my exosuit. My multi-tools sensor sense another build-up of energy growing deep within the monolith. It will soon unleash itself on me, and the landscape that surrounds the ancient site.
I can use my Protection Mesh functions, to dampen the imminent energy wave, but systems are too overwhelmed to identify it…”
– Prepare to absorb radiation: 934 Units, 1 atlas word, +1 Vy’keen standing, 1 Vy’keen Effigy
– Prepare to absorb toxins: You take damage
Remnants of Laparsi
“It’s the time of day that this mysterious site becomes active. A mysterious beam of light shines down and is focused by ancient glyphs onto a stone surface marked with ancient carvings.
The beam of light slowly traces towards images scratched into the stone. A vast warrior battle, an alien city and what could be a stolen treasure. The hand prints of pilgrims cover each one…”
– Touch battle image: nothing happens
– Touch city image: nothing found( this is the only option where you can repeat the question by clicking E, but whenever i reapeat it i get the message “nothing found”..maybe something hidden happens)
– Touch treasure image: nothing happens
Legacy of Brigi
“I feel drained. Readings on my multitool and exosuit start to gradually pull downwards, and a feeling of lethargy overwhelms me. I breathe normally, but my body screams for oxygen.
The monolith, silent and unmoving, towers above. A thought from outside my own mind starts to echo through my consciousness.
– Touch monolith: you take damage, +1 standing Vy’keen, 1 Vy’keen Effigy
– Stand still: you take damage, Stamina Sigma Enhancement(a tech i had installed) critically damaged, 1 atlas word, 1 Vy’keen Effigy
– Move away: you take damage
The Junonis Fragment
“The body of a gilled blob creature materialises on the surface of the rock. It is an ancient sacrifice, impaled through its wide, open eyes with metal spears.
Liquid is dripping from the body down the monolith through a channel cut into the rock by ancient hands. It can be diverted toward two carvings – one of a sun, the other of a moon.”
– Divert body liquid to sun: blueprint(scatter blaster companion unit, minor), health to maximum, +1 standing Vy’keen, 1 atlas word
– Divert body liquid to moon: blueprint(life support upgrade !), health to maximum, +1 standing Vy’keen, 1 atlas word <- this is the better option because of the much better blueprint IMO
Jumerli-leri Landmark
“The monolith fragments before my eyes. It folds down in on itself, again and again, until it is a tiny red orb surrounded by dancing lights. It feels like something truly ancient, perhaps something divine, is showing me the origin of the strange constructions.
The oxides i carry are physically dragging me towards it – desperate to help it rebuild. It’s not so much that I’m a pilgrim bearing offerings in hope of a blessing, but more that the elements i carry want to offer themselves…
– Give common oxide(100 iron): +1 Vy’keen standing
– Give uncommon oxide (50 zinc); Health at maximum, +1 Vy’keen standing, 1 atlas word
– Give rare oxide (50 Titanium): ?
Give rare oxide (50 Titanium): Health and Shield at maximum, + Vy’keen standing, 1 atlas word, 1 Vy’keen Effigy
Also the translation to the language literally means “give rare oxides”.
Tribute to lusmod-Wavi
“The giant mouth of an ancient hound suddenly emerges through the face of the monolith. It opens its jaws wide, and foul-smelling spittle streaks my visor. My nausea is tempered by the sight of valuable commodities balanced on its giant tongue.
In a sudden movement the hound shifts the goods to one side of its mouth, spraying saliva over my arms. There’s space on the tongue for more, should i wish to give up some of my cargo…”
– Place goods on giant hound tongue (10 Carbon): Health at max, +1 Vy’keen standing, +1 atlas word, 1 Vy’keen Effigy
– Remove goods from giant hound tongue: you take damage, -1 Vy’keen standing, 1 Microdensity fabric
“Legacy of Ocetus-Criv
I place my hand on the ancient structure and feel an intense heat burning within. Suddenly, as if attracted to my suit, a liquid metal starts to seep from a hole that’s been broken into the rock.
What starts as a drip becomes a surge forcing itself through the gap. The monolit’s previous contents are draining, and its glow is starting to fade. A voice screams out.”
– Plug hole with oxide (100 iron): 1 standing, atlas word and 1 Vy’keen Dagger
– Plug hole with silicate (100 Heridium) ?
-Take molten substance (1 Vy’keen Dagger) ?
“Legacy of Ocetus-Criv
A portal opens on the monolith, and the body of a huge winged animal falls to my feet. Its throat has been ritually cut, and its wings has been tattooed with faces of an ancient warrior tribe. The eyes though, the eyes look strange…
Its original eyes have been cut out, and replaced by glittering red orbs. The more i look, the more they blaze. An advanced technology clearly lies at their centre. Can i bear to desecrate this sacrifice for help with my journey ?”
– Remove sacrifice’s eyes: 1 blueprint, -1 standing Vy’keen, 1 new atlas word
– Respect sacrifice: Health + Shield maximum, 1 Vy’keen standing, 1 new atlas word
Plug hole with silicate, is -1 standing that’s it
There’s a monolith describing the form of a creature frozen in ice. It shows Gek language (only partially translated for me with the words “do not gissy! Terror!” Repeated twice).
“A handwritten sign in the language of the ancient traders can be seen above the body’s head. Some sort of fuel would most likely melt the ice…”
Choices: Melt ice
Abandon lifeform
Leave
If you choose “melt ice” it gives you “The creature’s eyes flick open. Its hands leap around my throat. With a struggle, I force it back into the depths of the disapproving Monolith.”
You receive damage and no loot.
I meant to choose the abandon option but clicked incorrectly haha. Awesome.
The Abandon option says something like, “The spirits of the area thank you” And the monolith closes around the creature leaving it there permanently. You get an Atlas word and I got Gek standing from it.
The Monolith disappears. The landscape around me seems sane, but somehow the planetary vegetation has moved. Sitting central to where the mysterious stone once stood is a red glowing orb.
The intensity of the orb burns the ground beneath it. It crackles with an unknown power. I feel compelled to pick it up, and become part of it. A distant voice speaks to me…
Hold the orb: the orb burns my skin, I take damage. Korvax standing increased.
Stand back: The orb plunges into my chest.. I am eek vinatwd and reality is restored.
Windjunky,
Holding the red orb caused my standing to DECREASE, not increase. I think you’re supposed to “Stand Back.”

Two stone blocks slowly revolve on the base of the monolith. Two beads of red light then trace images on each one. The red lights then pool together and liqueft in an indentation below. The closer I get, the more agitated the red pools become.
The images both show masked electronic lifeforms. The first shows the lifeform absorbing power to break free from its shakcles. The second shows it hiding from it captors.

I’m running my fingers over the ancient glowing runes, when I look down. An expanding pool of liquid metal has rippled out of the obelisk’s base. My feet have already been covered. In the bright reflection I see my expression turn to horror as I begin to sink.
I feel warming hands on my legs, pulling me down into the silver sheet. Every hazard detection device on my multi-tool is going haywire. Radiation, heat, cold… every danger imaginalbe.

Vy’Keen Monolith
I live within a new reality. I am inside a vast coliseum and beneath a blood red sky. The noise is overpowering. Warriors scream and bark at the battle set up before them.
Two combatants are squaring up on the crimson sand. One has lost its blade, and hides behind a shield. The other stalks towards it, with spear raised. I feel compelled to add my voice to the howl of the mob.

The Monolith rips like paper, opening a window to another world. It is laced with a giant web. Just within my reach, an ancient warrior lies cocooned. It has been there for centuries. Dead, vacant eyes stare through me and on into the landscape beyond.
It carries a rusted multi-tool, while a bulging webbed sack on its chest suggest it might carry greater riches on its body. Suddenly, the strange leathery growth starts to move…

Korvax Monolith: I see a strange vision. Blue light pours from the monolith as if a curtain has been dropped within. I hear a gentle hubub of voices, and catch a familiar smell on the breeze. I cannot remember my home, but I know that this is a doorway leads there. I ache for a past I cannot remember. Every inch of my soul wants to make the leap back. I look to the skies, and the infinity beyond. Can I truly abandon my journey, when it’s only just begun?
Answers: Resist temptation. (Increase standing with Korvax. Learn Atlas word. Receive item.)
Step back into the past. (Health. Learn Atlas word)
Korvax Monolith
I am being watched. A red laser dot appears on the ancient stone structure. I’m a target. I turn, but can’t see the potential assailant. Somewhere out there on the alien landscape, someones about to pull a trigger.
There’s no cover to speak of, and no time to get behind the obelisk. Suddenly, the words of an unknown power blaze brightly on the monolith.
Move back
Stand still
Touch monolith
Answer : Move back
Received almost the same prompt but didn’t mention a laser. “Move back” was not the correct answer in that case.
Korvax Monolith
For many ages it appears that pilgrims have carved numerical figures between the glowing glyphs of the monolith. Looking down, I notice an ancient coin. I scrape the ground with my boot, and unearth several more.

Ashes of the Rynetheth (Korvax)
“A chiselled hole appears at the foot of the obelisk. From its smoothened edges and the scraped markings around it, it’s clear that over centuries unknown creatures have pushed elements through this gap.
It’s impossible to tell quite what will happen, but below it are three blocks of the exact same dimensions that look like they can be turned by a mechanism deep within the monolith itself. I search my gear for the rare elements that look like they could fit…”
1. Insert rare oxide (50 Titanium) – Atlas word, suit blueprint and Korvax favor
2. Insert rare silicate (50 Chrysonite) – new multitool, Atlas word and favor
3. Insert rare isotope (50 Plutonium) – Atlas word and favor
Gek Monolith – Ruins of Ticimerl
– An Unseen replication of my own self and exosuit stalks around the edge of the monolith. It screams in an ancient tongue while forcing me down onto my knees.
– The doppelganger first places its boltcaster to my forehead, and then mimes cutting my belly open with the mining beam. It smiles pleasantly. I am to choose my desired execution.
1. A laser beam to the torso
2. A bolt to the brain (bolt caster blueprint, + gek rep, +1000 units)
gek Text
(choose OMFA death! First spawn favour obedient toilgek underling!)
lazer to torso gives exosute blueprint instead of bolt caster
“I hear a low rumble, which gradually builds into an ancient scream. It’s like no noise I’ve ever experienced. To this strange alien landscape it’s a calm silence, inside my helmet it’s a nightmarish cacophony of pain and death.
Through the noise, however, I can make out some words within the screams.”
Wait
Move away (I chose this one and it gave me a gek relic, an atlas word, and an increased standing with the gek)
Touch monolith
Wait: Take damage and standing with Gek decreases.
Touch Monolith: Take damage and standing with Gek decreases
Move away was good
leave the creature alone v shoot the creature – shoot increases standing with the gem and maxes health
Korvax Monolith:
A flickering reflection of my own body emerges from a portal. It mimics every move I make. When i wave, it waves. When I raise my multi-tool, it copies instantly. The doppelganger makes a motion to suggest it wants something, and we both recoil when I realize I’ve instinctively matched its movements.
It’s body shimmers, but its equipment looks somehow real. Its multi-tool looks better than my own. The dimensional irregularity is fading.
Shoot doppelganger: Take damage, decrease in Korvax standing.
Give multi-tool: Worse multi-tool, Increase in Korvax standing.
EDIT:
As well as a new word
Vy’keen Monolith:
The monolith shows images of creatures lying dead before it. Each sacrificed, butchered and offered up to whatever Gods were once worshipped.
Suddenly, the head of a small woodland animal raises up through the earth below me. It stares ar me with wide-eyes, then gives a joyful skip when its tiny hooves reach ground level. Something is clearly expected of me…
Options:
Let the creature live
Sacrifice the creature (Increased standing, new atlas word effigy, microdensity fabric (or possibly another random item))
I become a part of a strange new reality. The ancient rock opens. Inside, the dried out heart of an ancient warrior is strung up between wooden pillars. It pulses slowly as it hangs there, still beating.
Lying below it on a dusty floor are a set of wrinkled lungs that look forever doomed to wheeze stale air. A desiccated eyeball stares up at me. Unblinking.
Respectfully depart
Place lungs with heat – This one will increase your Vy’keen reputation
Shoot heart
Vy’keen Monolith:
Two ancient stone cups materialise in front of the monolith. One is filled with a dark red viscous liquid, the other contains a sticky fluid that is bright yellow and smells powerfully bitter.
On the stone tablet behind the cup ancient glyphs form an image. A powerful muscular warrior surrounded by a red halo challenges an opponent clad in bright yellow armour.
Options:
Drink the bitter yellow liquid
Drink the vicous red liquid (New atlas word, healing, effigy)
Vy’keen Monolith:
I am suddenly underwater. I am drowning. Water clogs my lungs. My chest is on fire. I gasp for air when there is none and feel only tepid liquids filling me inside and out. My vision is clouding. I know it is my time. This is it. This is what it feels like.
Suddenly, a green hand thrusts itself through the surface of the water. The light is fading.
Options:
Die (Increased health level, increased reputation)
Reach for hand
Description: There are three vast columns of words on the ancient structure, each written in a different alphabet. The first columns words are like savage runes scratched in sand, the second shows precise sequences of dots. The final column has wide and welcoming letters, almost appearing hand-written in hard stone.
The dirt and blood of ancient hand prints cover the base of each column.
Answer:
Press hand against letters (learn gek word) +atlas word
Press hand against dots (learn korvax word) +atlas word
Press hand against runes (learn Vy”Keen word) +atlas word
Dots- Got me another word

Vy’keen Monolith :The Laciniqu-Thet Fragment
I place my palm on the monolith, then stand back when it melts in response to my touch. Molten rock drips down the stone, exposing a hollow interior. Inside, I see riches that are beyond belief. Ancient technologies and cargo that would aid my journey.
Lava continues to drop, and the edifice seems unstable, but equipment that could aid me is within arm’s reach. Suddenly, the voice of an ancient tribe shakes the ground I stand on..
#Stand back= (the ancient warriors who worshipped here bless my show of resepct:gain respect and vy’keen effigy)
#Reach in= (permanent damage to exosuit and decreased standing with Vy’keen)
For “stand back” you get a atlas word too.
There’s a Vy’Keen monolith that explains a monolith melting to the touch, showing riches and technology that would aid you. Touching it hurts you, but standing back gives you a Vy’Keen word, reputation, health and an item.
#3 (The body of a warrior emerges from the obelisk…) is incorrect, at least for me. I got a worse multitool, disapproval from the monolith, and a rep decrease. Choosing to bury the warrior gained me an Atlas word, rep increase, and a health refill.
Korvax Monolith Riddle
Description: I begin to feel dizzy. A strange lethargy comes over me, and I feel compelled to lie down in front of the ancient relic. This place feels calming. It feels like home, whatever that might have been. I know that if I trulfy wanted to fight the impulse to sleep I probably could, but I feel worm and comfortable basking in the glow of the ancient Ruin.
Anser
Resist(Its power Fades)
Sleep(I sleep deeply. I awake reinvigorated – Full Health)
Korvax Monolith (Legacy of Ragumenach-Ekhi)
1. Description: “Tiny floating tetrahedrons emerge from the planet’s surface and surround me. I try to wave them away with my multi-tool, but each time they swam closer to it – as if attracted to it somehow. I raise my multi-tool, and they shimmer blue as they dart this way and that. Closer and closer. They are within touching distance of my multi-tool. They make one final surge…”
Answers:
– Escape the tetrahedron cloud
– Let the tetrahedrons in – You will gain a Korvax reputation/ knowledge increase with a new multi-tool blueprint.
