Where to find the left and right Dectus Medallion locations in Elden Ring, and how to join them together.
Finding the Dectus Medallion locations in Elden Ring takes a bit of effort — and more than a few risks — but the payoff is worth it if you want safe passage to Altus Plateau.#
The Grand Lift of Dectus bypasses a mini-dungeon, dangerous cliffside paths, and a tricky boss fight and drops you at Altus Plateau’s southern end (mostly) free from harm.
Finding the item that activate the lift is a bit of a riddle, but our Dectus Medallion locations guide breaks down where to look and how to get both pieces without much hassle.Dectus Medallion left Location
You can pick up the Medallion’s left half pretty early in Elden Ring, with the location found within Fort Haight, found in the east of Limgrave. The map calls it Fort Haight West, which is a little misleading. There’s no eastern variant of the mini-fortress, so the one in Limgrave is the only one you need to deal with.
The first challenge is actually reaching Fort Haight. Skeleton warriors wielding swords and shields bar your way, and a ballista perched atop the fort’s walls will periodically fire arrows at you. Use the wooden barricades for protection against the ballista, and carefully make your way around the fortress’ southern side.
Here, you’ll find even more enemies, including a pumpkin-headed, flail-wielding Mad Pumpkin on the steps and a few knights milling around. Deal with them cautiously, and make sure to grab the Golden Seed from the sapling in front of the steps and activating the Site of Grace before heading inside.Where to find the Dectus Medallion Half in Fort Haight
Inside Fort Haight, you’ll find more enemies milling about — some wolves, a few skeletons with exploding pots, nothing too overwhelming until you reach the ramparts. If you’re struggling with enemies inside the fort or outside, I recommend leveling up (our rune farming locations guide can help here) and trying again. Aim for level 10 or higher, if you can. Tempting as it may be to use your Spirit Ashes to force your way through, you’re better off saving your summons for the battle against the fort’s mini-boss on the ramparts.
