You only need to hit the monolith once with your ability to start the mission. This will start anextermination missionwhere you must eliminate a set number of enemies to lower the monolith’s immunity barrier. Damage the monolith again, then repeat one more time to destroy the Void Fragment. You’ll receive a random assortment of mods and valuable Void Shards for your trouble.
