So the only question remains “what is it like to see into the ethereal plane? This is the important distinction: invisibility and total cover are distinct conditions. Nothing here says we can see through objects, and it is very plane to see that “invisible” is referring to creatures who have been made invisible by some sort of effect granting invisibility, not creatures with total cover. Furthermore, the monster can see into the Ethereal Plane within the same range.

I want to add onto that, however Xanathar's Guide to Everything features an eldritch invocation for warlocks called "Ghostly Gaze" (p.
