It's open to several interpretations, but the one I think is that, after being trapped in a mind controlled haze for so long, the Monolith Stalker in question is either so disoriented by having thoughts and feelings of his own again that he finds feeling cold on his own unnatural or the monolith took so much of his mind away from him he's lost all his memories and experiences of being in the rain.

an additional piece of nuance: while most other pieces of Russian dialogue in this game have various degrees of speed and slang that is difficult to interpret for a Russian learner such as myself, the Monolith lines are slow and straightforward, and I can hear and translate them exactly. Not only does this mean something in how slow they are speaking, but also the simplicity and punctuality of their lines and what that means as a brainwashed soldier and cultist.

[@BoopleSnoot-u5b]

yes, lorewise it is because almost every other faction is just a bunch of vagabonds or paramilitaries (except eggheads) and monolith consists of former members of those, so this change in lexicon deepens the perspective of O-conciousness imprint on them

[@monkyeborb]

@IGLA Damn, really shows that AI are more than they are in STALKER, they are humans just like us.

[@acry4734]

I always liked how different the monolith were, from the different games i mean, In SoC they are like: "Yeah well kill you! The monolith is guiding us you have no chance!" Same for clear sky. But in CoP after strelok destroyed the c-con in soc the monolith are like wolves without a mother. They are doing that what they know but they are left alone, slowly gaining their concious back as seen in striders squad. The monolith in CoP might be the saddest faction in stalker as a whole. They are broken without guidance. No purpose anymore. Its interesting to think about how striders squad could have escaped. Maybe they were alone and all of them lost contact and regained the conscioussnes. But the squad is too big for that. What if they were among the others finding each other, when they were still partially monolith. And wanted to leave while the others let them go because... well, what should they do? Who can blame them for leaving? Then they were in Zaton and regained full conciousness. We have 3 options for the monoliths in Stalker 2: A broken faction like clear sky with only remnants all slowly dying. Maybe the C-Con reactivated? Now the monoliths beeing back with full power again. But maybe there wont be no monoliths anymore... maybe a new faction. Monolith remnants, that are now normal humans again and they remember everything, now wanting to be with their brothers, because of a fear of not beeing accepted by the stalkers, maybe not hostile but partially hostile because of their fear. Or more like striders squad. CoP teased that strider made a new monolith faction of remnants.

[@mon0light]

monolith fraction could also divide into several groups, some who've regained their consciousness and created a new fraction, some could've been recognised and welcomed back to their factions, some could've been so fanatical that even after feeling emotions again they'd simply refuse to change their faith (there are people like that even without the brain scorcher, in the real world, flatearthers, antivacs, also fanatical believers in any religion) and there might also be those who still are under the effects of brainwashing there are so many possibilities I'd rather not speculate more since it's going nowhere, I simply hope gsc won't disappoint us

it would be pretty cool if they dipped into cut content for SOC and brought back sin in monolith's place

[@Axl4325]

I think Stalker 2 has the perfect chance to introduce Sin. It's a cut faction from SoC that was conformed by people who have mutated because of the zone and some even develop psychic powers iirc. In Anomaly they are used as villains who aren't looking to protect the center of the zone but instead to expand it all over the world. The monolith could be replaced by them, instead of just guys trying to keep everyone away from the center now we have psychic power wielding cultists trying to expand its influence all over the world

[@Quoteonquotebread]

@@Axl4325 I imagine if they added in sin it would be by making the renegades a front for sin in the og concepts they were supposed to be absolute degens they were supposed to crucify stalkers and the renegades are absolute degens with forester sayin that the only reason they didn’t kill him was cause he was a old man I also forgot they’re there cause they’ve done crimes so bad not even the bandits will accept them and in clear sky the bandits commit forced labor

I honestly do not like Sin whatsoever. They come off as the "I want to be a Bandit but they're not edgy enough" faction choice. Then again, that is only how Mods have handled an unfinished concept. I have no doubt that the actual developers could really do something to make them truly special and interesting, should they be properly introduced in Stalker 2.

We encountered some Monolithians, and we were all 'bout ready to kick ass, but the sarge told us to hold fire since they hadn't noticed us. Turns out they were huddled round a campfire, and we listened. The poor saps utterly had no clue what they were at. It was like a little kid lost in a supermarket, looking for their parent. They all agreed that they somehow had to remember. What exactly, I don't know. But they were scared. Confused. Unsurprisingly, we were ordered to kill them. I didn't want to, but you know the whole "good soldiers follow orders" schtick. I can't stop thinking about it. What did they mean? Were we doing them a favour? Or a disservice?

Thank you brothers !

[@0XAN]

pure poetry!

[@VVilkacy]

In Monolith we trust!

[@coconutcarl28]

We thank you, oh Monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us. May your light shine down on the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will. Onward warriors of the Monolith, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Monolith. Bring death to those who spurned the holy power of the Monolith

Mow these assholes down, Dushman's orders

[@phatpigge]

I went through the entire game thinking Monolith was a faction of mindless husks; the next step of those who were claimed by the brain scorcher, or something similar. ...this is way, way sadder.

[@tennoskoom2233]

Yet those who can't hold up to the brainwashing, amnesia and radiation become zombies.. that is why we often see zombies alongside Monolith.. what a truly sad fate

[@louison3216]

It is the case in SOC. I bielive these lines are from COP, after the destruction of the C-CON

[@Capybara-n8n]

For the Monolith!

[@19iputuferdynanthaivenamah94]

This is sad for me because they were once human before the zone had taken them and turn them into brainwashed zombie's.

[@tutejsyja7198]

They're quite different from zombies, as they are still able to regain control of themselves

[@K_Balu]

They are still Human, and still pretty far from Zombification, even the zombified stalkers aren't really zombies, their sad state is the side-effect of the Brain Scorcher and the Emissions

Beacuse of dis man now i know the jokes and what the monolith speaks of [a little] when I first started stalker I always heared the npcs talking since I didn't knew I just laugh awkwardly not knowing its some sort of threat serious problem or someone who died

Монолит пришел первый от монолита и сказал вразумитесь монолит не оставляй своих детей

[@isaiahdees2309]

Мы благодарим тебя, о монолит, за то, что ты раскрыл нам коварные планы твоих врагов, да воссияет твой свет над душами храбрых воинов, отдавших свои жизни на службе твоей воле. Вперед воины монолита. Благословенны они в своем вечном союзе с монлитом, несут смерть тем, кто сжег святую силу монолита.

[@coaiemandushman1079]

Best faction hands down. They even protect the zombified stalkers who just want to go home but can't, who are hurt but can't get treated.

[@kontro3881]

The best cure for zombified stalkers is its demise

[@Questionablethingy]

well their brain already suffered... maybe it best just... let them go into afterlife and hope their soul find peace.

Its because Monolith and zombified stalkers are the same.Monolith guys are made from zombies

It’s strange to here this, you’d think the monolith are just some fanatics who will die for their cause, but while that’s true, it’s a little more than that. These guys are just lost, they don’t know what they’re doing, they’re just afraid. And I think that’s what makes them so dangerous.

За Монолит! Монолит... Монолит... Вернись к покинутым детям своим Мне нужно... Нужно вспомнить Монолит, помоги мне... Не оставляй меня, Монолит... Не оставляй нас, твоих детей. Почему ты оставил нас? Мы плачем... Мы ждем... Твои дети ждут тебя, твою мудрость, твою силу, твой свет... Мы сильны твоей волей, Монолит... Ты направил нас. Ты дал нам "видеть" и "знать". Почему мы не слышим твой голос? Монолит... Он ушел от нас... Но пришел тогда "первый" от Монолита и сказал: "Вразумитесь! " Но не слушали они... И придет день и воссияет вновь Монолит во славе своей... И в тот день, когда будет признан достойный, Монолит вернется и возрадуется... Он возрадуется... Мы возрадуемся... Монолит - это свет и знание, знание и свет. Он вернется... Вернется... Придет время, избранные спасутся. Монолит даст им совершенство... Никому не верь кроме Монолита и "братьев" твоих... Никому... Великий Монолит дал нам силу, открыл нам глаза... Мы выполним свое предназначение... Такова воля Монолита...

These are the people from all over the world... The initial group of scientists that studied the Monolith found out that the rock gives special powers to all those in vicinity, it granted them unlimited power of affecting the world by thought. The scientists agreed to protect the discovery and the world so they created the Zone and took people with skills and in good shape to guard the Monolith. Monolith soldiers are led by one of those scientists that exists in an imaginary reality, his world is small and dull but at least he's got a purpose and great responsibility to protect the wish granter from sick humans and politicians...
