The Burning Monolith, also known as The Monolith, is the pinnacle endgame encounter. It is a giant fortress that emerged from underground surrounded by a giant maze.

Pinnacle Keys

Main page: The Arbiter of Ash

Three keys must be obtained to enter. Each key can be obtained from defeating each faction's two lieutenants and the faction leader. There are two sets of keys that can drop; Crisis Fragments can drop from any version of the Citadel boss, while Calamity Fragments only drop if the player has allocated 10 points into the Boss Atlas Passive Tree. Failing against any of these bosses will cause that citadel to be considered failed and no longer accessible.
