Forspoken Monuments don't take too long to do either, which means that you can quickly complete them while you are on the way to another quest or goal. Without further ado, we're going to explain what Monuments are, how to complete them, and the rewards you can get from them too.

Monuments in Forspoken explained

Monuments in Forspoken are a side activity that can reward you with important stat boosts.

Monuments are essentially stone sculptures where Tantas have stored their power. However, these sculptures have attracted a concentrated amount of 'The Break' which has now engulfed them.

It's your job to clear them of this corruption and, if you do, you can expect a useful reward.

How Monuments look on the Map

This is how an incomplete Monument looks on the map, it looks the same on both the close-up and area maps. If a Monument has been completed, it will still have the same symbol but anything that is Purple will be removed.

Unfortunately, Monuments do not appear on the World Map.

How to clear Monuments to Strength in Forspoken

To clear a Monument in Forspoken, you need to walk up to it and remove 'The Break' surrounding it.

The easiest way to do this is to use a charged attack and repeatedly launch them at the base of the Monument. Support Spells aren't particularly useful here.

Once you've removed enough of 'The Break' at the base, you can walk up to the Monument and interact with it.

Then, the rest of the corruption on the Monument will begin to crumble away. You do not need to do anything here, once this begins you have completed the Monument.

Forspoken has arrived and we have boss strategies to help you defeat Tanta Sila, Tanta Prav, the Senseless Savant and the final boss. Before facing these bosses, however, you may want to learn how to craft, upgrade your gear and find all of the Founts of Blessings. Meanwhile, understanding fast travel and clearing Monuments will also help you in Fray's journey across Athia.
