Gloaming Monolith

As you approach the Monolith, the temperature drops five degrees. There are no wooden gates—only a massive slab of iron that slides into the ground with the sound of grinding mountains. The guards don't shout; they whisper, because in a place this grand, noise feels like a sin.

🛠️ Technical Configuration

VAE Requirements

• No Baked-in VAE: This checkpoint is "clean." To avoid washed-out colors or grayed-out images, you must use an external SDXL VAE.

• Note: Any standard SDXL VAE (like the official stability.ai release) will work perfectly.

• Use this SDXL-VAE: [use]

Recommended Settings (Maximum Flexibility)

Best for users prioritizing prompt adherence and artistic detail.

• Samplers: Euler A | Euler | DPM++ 2M | DPM++ 2M SDE

• Scheduler: Karras | Simple | Automatic

• Steps: 24 – 40

• CFG Scale: 4 – 7

High-Efficiency Settings (Fast Generation)

Optimized for speed and lower-end hardware (VRAM sensitive).

• Sampler: UniPC

• Scheduler: Karras (Highly recommended for this use case)

• Steps: 10 – 20

• CFG Scale: 5

⚠️ A Note on UniPC: While UniPC is incredibly fast and great for those without high-end GPUs, it is less stable than Euler A. At lower step counts, you may experience occasional anatomical errors or "missing" details in 1 out of every 4 images. If quality is failing, switch back to Euler A.
