The Haligtree Secret Medallions are two key items in Elden Ring hidden in Liurnia and the Mountaintops of the Giants.

While useless on their own, the left and right halves combined grant access to the Consecrated Snowfield, the western part of the snowy Mountaintops of the Giants region, and perhaps the game’s most infamous boss — Malenia. This location guide will show you where to find the Haligtree Secret Medallions.

Tip: Before you start searching for the Secret Medallions in Elden Ring, check your inventory. If you’ve explored the southern parts of Liurnia, you may have collected the “Haligtree Secret Medallion (Right)” already!


Haligtree Secret Medallion right location

The right half of the Secret Medallion is found in the southern part of Liurnia, which means you can access its location as soon as you’ve defeated Godrick the Grafted in Stormveil Castle. Looking at the Elden Ring map, this is the area you need to visit:

The Haligtree Secret Medallion is hidden in the Village of the Albinaurics, where an NPC named Old Albus will give it to you. If you zoom in on this region, here’s where to find the Haligtree Secret Medallion:

If you haven’t been to the Village of the Albinaurics yet, you can reach it by following the route below, starting from Stormveil Castle:

After riding through the marshes for a while, you’ll enter a massive cave system with a bunch of stone buildings situated on top of the cliffs. See the slope on your left, as shown in the picture below? Ride up this slope and keep following the path (beware of some minor enemies along the route) until you reach the Village of the Albinaurics Site of Grace.

From here, take the path to the east, leading uphill between two red Rowa Fruit bushes on the right and a sparkly shade on the left.

There’s just one more enemy between you and the Secret Medallion. Be prepared to evade his short-range fire and melee attacks; wait for him to cast the spell, then dodge behind him and attack. High-level players need no more than a few hits to defeat this enemy.

At last, you’ve reached the Secret Medallion location. If you follow the path just a bit further, you’ll see a dark corner on your right, with a small stone tomb in front and a large tree on the left. In this dark corner, as pointed out by the arrow, there’s a large pot — this is Old Albus in disguise. Hit the pot once to reveal Old Albus and exhaust his dialogue, after which he’ll hand you the Haligtree Secret Medallion (Right).

Did you accidentally hit Old Albus more than once? Don’t worry; although this will cause him to turn hostile, you can still obtain the Haligtree Secret Medallion by defeating him and looting it from his body.


Haligtree Secret Medallion left location

The left half of the Secret Medallion is found in the Mountaintops of the Giants region. Beware that this is an endgame region for Elden Ring, so you’ll need to fight through all of Liurnia, Altus Plateau, and Leyndell Castle before you can grab it. Here’s where to find this Haligtree Secret Medallion location on the map:

The Secret Medallion is found inside Castle Sol, a large fortress way up north.

To reach Castle Sol, you must cross the narrow bridge toward the north, ride through a valley until you see a massive giant ahead of you, then turn left. Keep riding until you hit a seemingly dead end, then use the wind current on your left (shown in the picture) and fly up the mountains. Cross another bridge (going north again), then ride down the snowy slopes — Castle Sol is in the lower valley.

Starting from Castle Sol’s entrance, the Main Gate Site of Grace, carefully head inside the courtyard and fight the two lion guardians, then go up the wooden stairs.

Beware of the warhawk on top of the large stone building to your left and the two hounds in front of you. Defeat them all, then enter the room behind the hounds.

Go upstairs, then cross the square outside. Defeat the two spectral warriors guarding the square, and watch out for the crossbowman up the wall on the other side. It’s easiest to lure the warriors towards the room and defeat them there, then evade the crossbow bolts as you run across the square.

Beware that a spectral knight will appear at the top of the staircase; if you don’t want to fight him, you can simply dash past him, enter the building, and activate the Site of Grace on your left.

Venture deeper into Castle Sol; go through the church, cross the courtyard, and walk up the stairs.

Four spectral warriors will spawn on the staircase, joined by a spectral knight when you reach the top. If you want to save your strength, you can fight the normal warriors but dash past the knight, straight to the boss arena gateway in front of you.

The Castle Sol boss, Commander Niall, is a burly warrior with a powerful arsenal of melee, lightning, and frost attacks. As if that’s not intimidating enough, he’s got two spectral knight sidekicks. It’s best to take down the spectral knights first, then focus on the Commander. Our detailed Commander Niall boss fight guide can help if you’re struggling.

Following the Castle Sol boss fight, activate the Site of Grace and follow the path leading to the higher tower (only one way to go). At the top of the tower, you will find the left part of the Haligtree Secret medallion.

And with that, the next step is to actually use the Haligtree Secret Medallions.


How to use the Haligtee Secret Medallions

With the two Haligtree Secret Medallions in your pocket, you can use them to unlock the Consecrated Snowfield. First, you must teleport to the Grand Lift of Rold, a Site of Grace in the southern part of the Mountaintops of the Giants (where you entered the region).

Stand in front of the lift platform, between the two statues, and select the Secret Medallion as shown in the picture below. Instead of taking you back to the Altus Plateau, the Grand Lift of Rold will now take you to the Consecrated Snowfield.
