The Monstrous Opus is fought in The Final Souldown, in the second Deep Dark reached through the Illager Portal. It stays dormant until the Supreme Evoker falls; the Evoker's souls then fly into it and wake it.
It switches between two forms. Armored, it stays on the ground, moves slowly, attacks fast and deflects arrows. Deconstructed, it hovers and splits apart around a giant soul cube, and only then do arrows hurt it. Save ranged attacks for that form and fight the armored form in melee.
Each time it splits it uses three attacks picked at random from Soul Harvester, Earth Outbreak and Soul Cannon.
Where you fight it: story quest "The Final Souldown" (The Deep Dark); rematch "The Final Souldown Encore" (The Deep Dark).
