Harbinger gating empowered monoliths feels bad

Hi, I love the fact that the new big bad jumps out at you after you kill your last standard monolith boss and teaches you a lesson however the fact that you don’t get the monolith completion feels really bad. I have a paladin build able to breeze through standard monos and would love to begin farming empowered but I can’t get past this Harbinger of Tyranny. Surely you should get the completion bonus to allow you to progress?
