'''Monolith''' is a common term for [[adventure map]] locations, that visually resemble gates. They can be used to instantly travel between similar, visually associated monoliths. There are two functionally different monolith types: one-way and two-way.


One Way Monoliths can only be used to travel in one direction, which means that they have entrance gates and exit gates. There can be several exit gates, in which case the destination is randomly chosen between the gates. However, if a player's hero is standing on one of those exits, other heroes are not able to teleport to that location. However, an enemy hero can teleport to that particular gate in which case there will be a battle. Monolith two ways work in a simialr way, but they can be used to travel into both directions.
'''One Way Monoliths''' can only be used to travel in one direction, which means that they have entrance gates and exit gates. There can be several exit gates, in which case the destination will be chosen randomly. If an exit tile is occupied by a player's hero, other heroes are not able to teleport to that location (and heroes cannot interact, unlike the surface/underground [[Subterranean Gate]]s situation). If an exit is closed by an enemy's hero, there will be a battle.


Monoliths cannot be located on [[Water]] [[tile]]s. Water has similar traveling method called [[Whirlpool]]s.
'''Monoliths Two Way''' work in a similar way, but they can be used to travel in both directions.


Two-way monoliths can be repeatedly traversed, without spending any movement points, by pressing the space bar.
If an enemy hero enters a monolith at the open part of the adventure map, its exit point will be "shown" even if it is located in a shrouded area.

Monolith is a common term for adventure map locations, that visually resemble gates. They can be used to instantly travel between similar, visually associated monoliths. There are two functionally different monolith types: one-way and two-way.

One Way Monoliths can only be used to travel in one direction, which means that they have entrance gates and exit gates. There can be several exit gates, in which case the destination will be chosen randomly. If an exit tile is occupied by a player's hero, other heroes are not able to teleport to that location (and heroes cannot interact, unlike the surface/underground Subterranean Gates situation). If an exit is closed by an enemy's hero, there will be a battle.

Monoliths Two Way work in a similar way, but they can be used to travel in both directions.

If an enemy hero enters a monolith at the open part of the adventure map, its exit point will be "shown" even if it is located in a shrouded area.

Monoliths cannot be located on water tiles. Water has a similar traveling method called Whirlpools, but it usually kills some of your troops.

Two-way monoliths can be repeatedly traversed, without spending any movement points, by pressing the space bar (not in Restoration of Erathia).
