How to get to Consecrated Snowfield in Elden Ring
To get to the Consecrated Snowfield, you first need to reach the Mountaintops Of The Giants via theGrand Lift Of RoldpastLeyndell. After that, you need to combineboth halves of the Haligtree Medallionand take it to the Grand Lift Of Rold. Ride the Grand Lift up all the way, and then fight your way through theHidden Path To The Haligtreein order to reach the Consecrated Snowfield.
1. Reach the Mountaintops Of The Giants
The first step is to reach the Mountaintops Of The Giants past Leyndell, the capital in the north of the Elden Ring map. To do this, you need to reach the roots of the Erdtree and defeatMorgott.

Go back to the main road of Leyndell and take the northeast path out of the city. You’ll soon reach a lift which will take you to the short, linear Forbidden Lands. At the end of this path is the Grand Lift Of Rold, which you can activate using the Rold Medallion that Melina gives you. Ride it to the top to enter the Mountaintops Of The Giants.
2. Combine both halves of the Haligtree Medallion
Just like activatingGrand Lift Of Dectusin order to reachAltus Plateau, you need to combine two halves of the Haligtree Medallion to reach the Consecrated Snowfield.
The second half of the Haligtree Medallion is much later in the game, in Castle Sol at the very northmost point of the Mountaintops Of The Giants. You can spot Castle Sol easily on the map once you’ve got the Map Fragment. It’s a very tough place filled withBanishedSoldiers, and the boss there,Commander Niall, is one of the hardest bosses in Elden Ring. But once you beat him, you can claim the second half of the Haligtree Medallion from the chest at the top of the castle.
3. Activate the Grand Lift Of Rold with the Haligtree Medallion
With both halves of the Haligtree Medallion collected, return to the Grand Lift Of Rold which took you from Leyndell to the Forbidden Lands. You’ll now see a new option to “Hoist secret medallion” (use the D-Pad to switch to this option from the regular “Hoist medallion” option). Hoist the secret medallion to ride up to the Hidden Path To The Haligtree dungeon.

4. Make your way through the Hidden Path To The Haligtree
At the end of the dungeon is a Stray Mimic Tear boss, which will fight you with a copy of yourself. Fortunately, you’re the much betteryouaround these parts, so this boss fight shouldn’t pose much of an issue at this stage of the game.
Beat the boss and exit the dungeon, and you’ll at long last arrive in the Consecrated Snowfield region of Elden Ring. From here, there are plenty of new areas to explore, dungeons to face, and bosses to beat. If you’re trying to make your way to the Haligtree itself, then you’ll need to go to Ordina, the town in the north of the Consecrated Snowfield, above the frozen river.
