Unobtainable Object

Monolith Gate is an object unobtainable by players through normal means. This item's information is present in the game files, but not intended by developers to be in players' possession.

Monolith Gate is a very large object at the Ark. The gate is adorned by 7 faces, each one belonging to a playable race. It acts as a doorway to The Ruin's pocket dimension, where it was imprisoned long ago by the Cultivator. It requires the six artifacts gifted by the Cultivator to six chosen races to unseal and allow passage.

Below are the artifacts listed in their order on the gate from top-left to bottom-right:

Trivia

The ancient writing around the edge of the gate was found to be a substitution cipher, and was decoded here and here.


It reads:

"Collect the six keys and place them here to open the black hole."

Before being implemented into the game, the Monolith Gateway featured a Ruin-esque eye filling in its now empty 8th racial slot when it was first revealed through a tweet by Tiy. This early attempt at decoding the gate's writing also shows the 8th slot filled in as in the tweet.
