Requiem Monolith is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
: Until end of turn, target creature gains "Whenever this creature is dealt damage, you draw that many cards and lose that much life." That creature's controller may have this artifact deal 1 damage to it. Activate only as a sorcery.
How it works : Requiem Monolith
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If lethal damage is dealt to a creature that has been granted the listed ability by Requiem Monolith’s ability, the granted ability will still trigger.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If multiple sources deal damage to a creature that has been granted the listed ability by Requiem Monolith’s ability (probably because multiple creatures blocked that creature), the granted ability triggers only once. When it resolves, the creature’s controller draws cards and loses life equal to the total amount of damage dealt to that creature by those sources.
No other card is named in this ruling.
