Mono timeline and corruption question

Update: I never completed the first echo and that’s why the other 2 were locked.

I’ve been blowing through the Fall of the Outcasts timeline, up to 50 corruption and 1 of 3 quest echoes completed. But every final echo branch is now for reseting the timeline’s web of echoes instead of being a shade of corruption. If I reset it, the same thing happens. The icon for the final branch shows a shade when I click on it and I do fight a shade to reset the echoes.

Does this mean I am at the cap of the corruption for this timeline? And that I have to complete the remaining 2 quest echoes to advance to the next one? They are both locked. I don’t know how to unlock them. It says I have completed 472 echoes so I’m not sure what’s going on. That seems like a lot and I’m still in the Fall of the Outcasts timeline with no access to the other ones. The stability number to the right of the quest echo bar at the top shows 500.

You are doing normal monoliths. You need to do the quest battles (top left as you indicated). Once you’re done that it will open up more monoliths to do. Once you’ve done the quests in all of the monoliths it will enable empowered monoliths. These are the endgame monoliths which start at 100 corruption and go up infinitely (afaik).

I’d recommend just doing each monolith till you can do the quest battles, then move on (unless you get stuck on difficulty ofc).

Edit: Yes, normal monoliths cap at 50 corruption.

OH DAMN. I never completed the first quest echo in the timeline and that’s why the other 2 were locked. Wow. I’ve been grinding all this time, doing hundreds of echoes.

Mistakes were made :joy:

Unbelievable. I completed all 3 real fast and unlocked the next timeline and got my first blessing. Thanks for the reply though.
