Mission Objectives

# Step by Step Objectives
1
Explore the Monument
Follow the objective marker and eventually, you'll reach a series of bridges that go lower and lower. You can land on each bridge by rolling from the ledgeless sections of the bridges. At the bottom, you must face an Elder Guardian. After the battle, keep moving forward.
2
Take the Conduit
Eventually, you will reach a pillar surrounded by a barrier-like formation. Take the conduit on top of the pillar. This lets you breathe underwater without using bubble pockets.
3
Find the Beacons
After taking the conduit, you must find two beacons in the area. The way to each beacon is blocked by a gate, and you must place the conduit on a block beside each gate to pass through.
3A Minecraft Dungeons - Abyssal Monument First Beacon

You must find the real blue key amidst a sea of fake keys and insert it in the blue gate, then activate the beacon afterward.

Boss Strategy Guide

Elder Guardian

Minecraft Dungeons - Abyssal Monument Elder Guardian Boss Fight

You will encounter an Elder Guardian during the first objective of this mission, and the Ancient Guardian will summon one as well. Find cover to block its beam then attack back afterward.

How to Beat Elder Guardian

Ancient Guardian

Minecraft Dungeons - Abyssal Monument Ancient Guardian Boss Fight

The Ancient Guardian is the final boss of the Hidden Depths DLC, and like the Elder Guardian, it fires a beam toward you, so you must find cover or run and roll away from it. It also spawns mines, and you should stay away from the range of their explosions.
