How To Get To Altus Plateau
The Grand Lift Of Dectus Route
You can get to the Altus Plateau by heading through the Grand Lift Of Dectus, which can be found at the northernmost part of Liurnia. You will need two halves of the Dectus Medallion to operate the elevator lift.
Ruin-Strewn Precipice Route
After defeating the boss in the Ruin-Strewn Precipice at the far end ofLiurnia, you can head up to the Altus Plateau from there. Since it takes a lot of time to clear the dungeon and defeat the boss, we recommend the Grand Lift Of Dectus route if you want to go there immediately.
Head To The Royal Capital And Subdue The Draconic Tree Sentinel
To head inside Leyndell, the Royal Capital, which can be found in the northeast, you will need to defeat the Draconic Tree Sentinel. This enemy can be really troublesome, so try upgrading your equipment and raising your level beforehand.
