Finding the Dectus Medallion Halves
Before you can operate the Grand Lift of Dectus, you need to acquire both halves of the Dectus Medallion. These are located in separate forts: — Dandy's World Paper Dolls: A Nostalgic Comeback
- Dectus Medallion (Left): Located in Fort Haight, which is in the eastern part of Limgrave. Navigate through the fort, defeating enemies, until you reach the top where a chest contains the left half of the medallion.
- Dectus Medallion (Right): Found in Fort Faroth, situated in the Dragonbarrow region of Caelid. This fort is filled with bat-like creatures and the medallion is located at the top of the fort in a chest. Be cautious, as the area is quite challenging.
Reaching the Grand Lift of Dectus
Once you have both medallion halves, make your way to the Grand Lift of Dectus. The lift is located in the northern part of Liurnia of the Lakes. You can reach it by following the road north through the region.
Activating the Grand Lift
To activate the lift, approach the two statues located on either side of the platform. If you have both halves of the Dectus Medallion in your inventory, a prompt will appear to 'Use Medallion.' — Kaz And Inej: Do They End Up Together?
- Stand between the statues.
- Activate the prompt.
- The lift will begin to ascend, taking you to the Altus Plateau.
Alternative Route: Avoiding the Lift
If you prefer not to collect the medallion halves or are having trouble with the enemies guarding them, there is an alternative route to reach the Altus Plateau. This involves a more challenging path through the Ruin-Strewn Precipice. This area is located on the northern edge of Liurnia of the Lakes and involves navigating a series of caves and cliffs filled with enemies and challenging bosses.
Tips for Using the Grand Lift of Dectus
- Prepare for Enemies: Both forts containing the medallion halves are heavily guarded, so make sure you are adequately leveled and equipped before attempting to retrieve them.
- Explore the Altus Plateau: Once you reach the Altus Plateau, take time to explore the new region. It is filled with new enemies, items, and quests.
- Consider the Alternative Route: If you're struggling with the forts, the Ruin-Strewn Precipice offers a viable, albeit tougher, alternative.
By following these steps, you can successfully use the Grand Lift of Dectus to access the Altus Plateau and continue your journey in Elden Ring. Whether you choose to collect the Dectus Medallion halves or brave the Ruin-Strewn Precipice, the Altus Plateau awaits with new challenges and rewards. Good luck, Tarnished!
