There are several methods for accessing the Altus Plateau, which is on the northwest part of the Elden Ring map. Players need to collect the two halves of the Dectus Medallion and then use the Grand Lift of Dectus. Another method involves getting killed by the Abductor Virgins in the lowest parts of the Raya Lucaria Academy.
Altus Plateau is a large area filled with tall golden trees, lush golden grass, and many useful Elden Ring Crafting Materials. Sadly, however, the region still carries the consequences of the Shattering, as seen by the many derelict buildings.
Updated on June 6, 2023, by Nahda Nabiilah: Altus Plateau is one of the largest regions in Elden Ring, and that’s not surprising considering it’s the home of the Erdtree. Players will encounter many powerful enemies and bosses while exploring the region as well as collecting various useful items such as Talismans, Consumables, and many more. All the available bosses will obviously reward players with some Runes and special drops like Remembrance weapons in Elden Ring. Obtaining them, however, can be done easily by knowing each boss’ weaknesses.
