In Elden Ring there are plenty of things to do that can keep you engaged for hours. That’s because the game features tons of Bosses to fight and plenty of regions to explore. However, as easy as it may sound, it isn’t, not all areas are available easily, and is much of a hassle to unlock. One of the main region’s players are struggling to get to is the Altus Plateau. This area will allow you to unravel various secrets and farm plenty of loot. If you are already trying to get to Altus Plateau in Elden Ring, but having a hard time finding it, then we are here to help.

How to Access Altus Plateau in Elden Ring? (Medallions Method)

To access and get to Altus Plateau player will have to activate the Grand Lift of Dectus by using a Medallion. For those who are unaware, the Medallion is divided into 2 half pieces named as Right Medallion & Left Medallion. Both of them are hidden in two different locations lying in a chest. So without any further do let’s start the walkthrough by finding the 2 hidden pieces.

  • In order to find the Right Medallion player will have to head to Fort Faroth. While you are heading there you’ll surely come across some enemies that you can avoid fighting. After you reach there, be aware of the white bats which are pretty deadly and poisonous. Simply go ahead take the ladder, open the chest, and there you have it, the Right Medallion piece.
  • After that, head to Fort Haight in the west, to find the Left Medallion. And there you’ll come across many creatures and a Knight trying to knock you down. Here you will be required to fight the Knight at some point or else he won’t leave you alone. But you can always avoid the other creatures. Once done, head up the ladder and in the chest, you’ll find the second piece successfully.
  • Once you have both of the Medallion pieces head to the Grand Lift of Dectus located at the end of Bellum Highway in northern Liurnia. The route is pretty long so we recommend you get a horse to reach the area easily and quickly.
  • And after you reach there head inside the castle-like building and stand on the round platform located beneath two statues. As soon as you do that, hoist your medallions and that’ll trigger a cut scene joining the pieces, allowing you to access Altus Plateau in Elden Ring.

That’s how you get to one of the main regions in the game. If this route is not suitable for you, then there’s also a secret way to reach Altus Plateau. For more details scroll down and you’ll be good to go.

Secret Route to Reach Altus Plateau Quickly (No Medallions Required)

In this secret route, you won’t be required to activate the Grand Lift of Dectus by using the Medallions. However, using this secret pathway is surely easy but also includes bosses and enemies that you’ll need to defeat to move further.

  • First head to the Ravine Veiled Village located in the northern part of Liurnia Lake.
  • After reaching there take the stairs and climb up the ladder on your left. The player will need to keep climbing multiple ladders to move forward.
  • Then you’ll come across an elevator that’ll take you to another dungeon-like cave filled with creatures that you can avoid fighting with.
  • And after you have made your way to the Ruin-Strewn Precipice take a right and rest at a site of Grace if you want to.
  • Then again take an elevator and you’ll come across some bats that you have to fight with. Simply keep moving forward using the ladder and keep slaying the enemies you find in your way. Or else they’ll not stop bothering you.
  • Once you have climbed enough ladders you’ll be required to fight a boss and it’ll drop a Curved Serpent Sword.
  • As soon as you are done with it, again fight some bats and make your way through an elevator. And after moving ahead, you’ll face the Magma Wyrm Dragon, which you have to defeat to obtain a Dragon Heart and Scalesword.
  • After that, move further and rest at a site of Grace if you wish to. Once done, head up the stairs, take the elevator and you’ll find yourself in the Altus Plateau.
