Mystery Gear ③ (Lexaeus) |
Monolith (石頭 Ishiatama , lit. "Rockhead", idiomatically "hardheaded") is an Axe Sword that can be wielded by Lexaeus in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It represents Lexaeus's personality.
Design
The Monolith is seemingly made entirely out of grey rock. Its “blade” takes the form of a moai in profile, while its counterweight is a flat section of rock that juts out from the back of the moai’s head.
A monolith is a large block of stone used for sculpture or architecture. It can also refer to anything massive and unmovable. "Rockhead" clearly refers to the weapon's appearance, that of a stone head, a moai. It should be noted that the Moai is somewhat of a recurring Easter egg within the Final Fantasy series.
Since the description for the Mystery Gear states that it brings out the user's personality, this may be a reference to the fact Lexaeus tends to be "stone-faced".
Gameplay
The Monolith's ground combo starts with a single-handed downward slash, followed by a diagonal upward slash, and ends with a powerful, two-handed downward slash.
The aerial combo consists of a two-handed, upward slash, followed by a downward slam. This weapon does not have a combo.
