This main quest will have different quest objectives depending on which faction you sided with in the main story. The only difference is that siding with the Spark faction has more quest objectives to complete and both end the same way.

If you sided with the Spark faction, you will have to complete An Invisible Threat and Dawn of a New Day as the prerequisite quests.

If you are with the Ward faction, completing An Invisible Threat leads you directly to this main quest.

Reconnect the Comm Center

Get Inside the Monolith HQ

Follow the quest objective marker on the compass until you reach a large room with a PSI Emitter in the middle and plenty of enemies inside.

Kill the Monolith Leader

You can find the Monolith Leader on top of the scaffolding just below the PSI Emitter. Note that he is not marked as an enemy on the compass so you will need to look around to find him.

Kill the Monolith Leader to proceed to the next objective.

Kill Faust

After killing the Monolith Leader, head up the stairs and enter the door with the red door handle. Head outside and kill the soldiers.

A short cutscene will play wherein your view becomes disoriented as it focuses on Faust. When this happens, retreat to the previous room to recover health.
