Elder Sign
When do I get back a die that a monster locked, once the monster is defeated (including by a spell or item)?
The rulebook frees locked dice only when the monster marker is collected at the end of the Resolution phase.

Not until you collect the monster marker at the end of your Resolution phase. Until then the die stays locked and cannot join your pool or a roll already in progress, even if a spell or item defeated the monster. If another effect also locks that die, it moves to that lock and stays locked until that one is resolved too.
