After Elden Ring players start their journey through the Lands Between, they'll quickly realize that this world has many secrets to uncover. Developer FromSoftware's design is meant to keep players from knowing everything there is to know, relying on gamers to figure out things themselves.
Once Elden Ring players make it past Leyndell Royal Capital on the northern side of the map, they might come across a massive tower called the Divine Tower of East Altus. Upon approaching the tower, its front door will be locked unless players have obtained a certain item from one of the main bosses. If players have come to the Divine Tower, and it's not opening for them, they missed out on fighting Margott, the demi-god Omen King, at Leyndell.
How to Open Divine Tower of East Altus
In order to open up the door to the tower, players will need to go and defeat Morgott back at the capital. Morgott is the true form of Margit, the first major boss in Elden Ring. Upon its defeat, players will be rewarded with 120K Runes, Remembrance of the Omen King, and most importantly, Morgott's Great Rune.
Morgott's Great Rune will not work if players equip it until they restore its power at the Divine Tower of East Altus. Once players have it in their possession, the tower will open up for them. Once equipped, Margott's Great Rune increases players' max HP, but players will need to use a 
Rune Arc to activate the Rune's power.
How to Get to Divine Tower of East Altus
For any players that have yet to get to the tower, but have already beaten Morgott, here's a step-by-step guide on how to get there from the Avenue Balcony Site of Lost Grace at Leyndell:
- From the Avenue Balcony Site of Lost Grace, head up the nearby staircase that leads south.
- When players reach the main avenue with the overturned carriages, turn left and head northeast. Follow the path until players reach another area past a door.
- Head directly east up the large staircase on the left-hand side.
- Keep going up the stairs, and then follow the path south. However, once players see an archway on the left between two statues, they should go in there and ride the elevator up.
- Players will end up in the Capital Outskirts area, and they should follow the path until they reach another lift. Ignore the lift, and exit out of the Southern doorway to end up on another bridge leading to the Divine Tower of East Altus.
- Go to the top of the tower and interact with the glowing spot in the middle of the arena to restore Margott's Rune.
