The Monolith (モノリス Monorisu) is used by Zeus to test Pit's mettle in a Sacred Training Chamber. A monolith is an iron plate that falls down, some at various diagonals, others at more extreme veering paths. These training tools can quickly swarm all over the angel, so Pit must be at the top of his game to avoid getting badly beaten. These are only encountered in Sacred Training Chambers.

Appearances

Kid Icarus

"This is Pit's opponent in the Sacred Training Chamber. This is an iron plate that used to be used for training Palutena's warriors. Watch out! It falls towards Pit."

They will randomly have 1 or 2 Hit Points, and are one of the few enemies to not give out experience points.

Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters

Monoliths do not release Hearts when destroyed. The swarm seems to be greater than the previous installment, but the survival period is also shorter.

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Monoliths decorated with unique markings are present in multiple areas of the game. Rather than being simple training devices this time around, they actually serve as enemies that try to block Pit's way by moving in a set path. They also seem to be impervious to all of Pit's attacks.

Trivia

  • Monoliths are named after geographical formations that consist of a single massive rock, resembling a mountain. The name comes from the Greek word monolithos, which means "one stone".
