Elden Ring features a massive world containing lots and lots of regions. However, they are not unlocked by default. Some of them require players to beat deadly bosses, while others need certain items for unlocking.
The Dectus Medallion is one such item required for reaching the Grand Lift of Dectus. To unlock the area, players will need two of these items. However, due to the sheer size of the Elden Ring world, finding them can be pretty challenging. For those who don’t know where to find Dectus Medallions in Elden Ring, this guide is here to help.
Dectus Medallions Locations in Elden Ring
The left Dectus Medallion is found in Fort Haight, while the other one is located in Fort Faroth in Caelid.
To get their hands on the left Dectus Medallion, gamers will have to make their way to Fort Haight. This area is located to the east in 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 glowing almost halfway through their journey. Here, players will find the Golden Seed, which is required for upgrading flasks in Elden 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.
To get the other piece 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 to fight an NPC right after entering Caelid.
After defeating it, players can keep following the road to find the fort, accompanied by a Shrine of Grace. Make sure to rest at this Site of Grace for a quick respawn upon death, and then head inside the fort. 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.
