Updated on July 02, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah:Collecting both halves of the Dectus Medallion will grant players access to Altus Plateau, which is theregion located near Liurnia of the Lakes. Once you collect theDectus Medallion (Left)from Limgrave and theDectus Medallion (Right)from Caelid, Tarnished must head to the Grand Lift of Dectus and join the two halves to reach the Altus Plateau. There is another faster way to reach the region, and it involves defeating a boss,Magma Wyrm Makar. Collecting the two halves of the Dectus Medallion, on the other hand, may take some time, but it’s safer.
Dectus Medallion (Left) Locations in Elden Ring
The left Dectus Medallion is found inFort Haight, while the other one is located in Fort Faroth in Caelid. To get their hands on the left Dectus Medallion, players will have to make their way to Fort Haight. This area is located to the east of Limgrave, the first main region in the Lands Between that players will enter right after completing their tutorial.
Next, players should take the road that leads to the fort. To the right of this road, they will come across a Site of Grace, which they can activate for convenience. In addition, they will also see a glow almost halfway through their journey. Here, players willfind the Golden Seed, which is required for upgrading flasks inElden Ring.Once players reach Fort Haight, they will need to go upstairs, turn left, and then climb up the ladder.
They may encounter some enemies in this area, but they are easy to avoid or deal with. After reaching the top, they will find the chest containing the left half of the Dectus Medallion. Open the chest to collect it.
Dectus Medallion (Right) Locations in Elden Ring
To get the right half of Dectus Medallion, players will have to travel to Caelid, which can be accessed from Limgrave via Summonwater Village. However, there’s a catch: players will have tofight an NPCright after entering Caelid. After defeating it, players can keep following the road to find the fort, accompanied by a Site of Grace. verify to rest at this Site of Grace for a quick respawn upon death, and then head inside the fort.
Alternatively, you can also use the waygate behind theThird Church of Marikain Limgrave to reach Fort Faroth faster. Fast-travel to the church and head northeast to see the waygate hidden behind some plants. Use it to spawn in front of the Bestial Sanctum in Caelid. Next, head south toward the bridge guarded by a dragon. Ignore the enemy and proceed west to the Minor Erdtree, where you can use the Spirit Spring located behind the giant tree. You will find Fort Faroth up ahead next to the giant dragon.
The first room is pretty dark, so it would be a good idea to use a torch. Here, players will come across bats, but they can avoid the fight and keep running until they find a ladder at the end. Next, simply climb up this ladder, open the chest, and pick up the right half of the Dectus Medallion.
