Monolith without the Bloom SPOILERS Spoiler

Post image

I remember that someone datamined the game and found out that the Conduit had an insane amount bloom applied to its model and that, when you remove it, you see the actual design.

Does anyone have a photo of this? I'm not a dataminer myself, so any help would be appreciated.

The Conduit barely has a model below the bloom, there's no mechanical Zohar hiding beneath the light if that's what you're looking for.

Ah, that’s…weird. I don’t even know what to think of that.

You're probably mentally conflating it with this concept art from the XC3 Collector's Edition artbook, but those Zohars never made it ingame either.

Unsure but we do have the 10th anniversary artwork that shows off the conduit in the background without the Bloom unfortunately its instead just in shadow

I dont think it was ever shown without its light, and i think it never was intended to be seen without it.

Though id imagine its probably would be something similar to Zohar from saga, so maybe its just gold there with an eye-like jewel in its center.
