Finding the Haligtree Secret Medallion (Right) is an essential milestone for Elden Ring players seeking to explore the hidden end-game areas of the Lands Between. Unlike standard progression keys, this unique item requires unraveling a subtle environmental disguise tucked deep within Liurnia of the Lakes. Acquiring this right half opens the path toward late-game challenges, including the elusive Consecrated Snowfield and Miquella's Haligtree.
Locating the Village of the Albinaurics
The journey to retrieve the medallion begins in southern Liurnia of the Lakes. Players must travel into the cavernous shadows beneath the cliffs to reach the Village of the Albinaurics. A nearby Site of Grace provides a safe checkpoint before ascending the sloped path leading into the gloomy settlement.
As you navigate up the incline, stay alert for hostile local enemies patrolling the huts. The path winds past several rickety structures until reaching a higher ledge containing a large stone sarcophagus and various potted containers. Clearing out nearby foes ensures a safe environment to interact with the environment.
Unveiling Albus and Claiming the Item
Positioned near the cliff wall past the houses sits a large, conspicuous pot that looks slightly out of place. Striking or rolling into this object breaks the illusion, revealing the elderly Albinauric named Albus hiding inside.
Speaking with Albus triggers a brief conversation regarding the tragic fate of his village. Exhausting his dialogue prompts him to entrust you with the key item before he fades away. Obtaining this piece updates your inventory with the right half of the split medallion.
Understanding the Medallion's Purpose
The right half represents only one part of a two-piece key required to operate the Grand Lift of Rold's secret mechanism. While the regular medallion takes players to the Mountaintops of the Giants, combining both secret halves grants access to an entirely different path.
Once you secure the left half from Castle Sol in the northern region, you can return to the lift pedestal. Switching your interaction prompt at the lift base allows you to hoist the secret medallion and enter the Consecrated Snowfield.
Tips for Early Exploration
Securing this medallion early is advantageous because it can be done without facing major boss encounters. Low-level characters can easily stealth past most villagers in the cavern to grab the item without engaging in heavy combat.
Additionally, obtaining the medallion half advances related NPC questlines, such as Latenna's story at the Slumbering Wolf's Shack. Completing this interaction early gives Tarnished players valuable lore insights and useful Spirit Ash options for future battles.
