The final region found in Elden Ring contains a snowy area that brings trouble for your vision and progression. The constantly blowing cold winds and the blizzards make Consecrated Snowfield one of the most challenging regions to explore in Elden Ring.
To reach this frozen area in Elden Ring, you must acquire the Haligtree Medallion. Alternatively, you can reach this area without finding the Medallion. In this guide, we’ll discuss both methods.
How to reach the Consecrated Snowfield (Snow Area) in Elden Ring
The map image above shows the exact location and parameters of the Consecrated Snowfield in Elden Ring. You must complete all the requirements to unlock the region to gain valuable items and a secret path toward Miquella Haligtree and Mohgwyn Palace.
You need to gather both halves of Haligtree Secret Medallion to activate the Grand Lift of Rold to open the way to Consecrated Snowfield in Elden Ring.
Reach the Grand Lift of Rold in Leyndell
After reaching Leyndell, The Royal Capital, you will eventually face Morgott, the Omen King. Defeating him will open the path toward the Grand Lift of Rold in Elden Ring.
You can activate the lift, but you won’t be able to reach the Consecrated Snowfield until you have a specific key item. To reach the snowfield, you must find the two pieces of the Haligtree Secret Medallion.
How to find the Haligtree Medallion’s right half
To acquire the right half of the medallion, find Albus in the Albinaurics Village in Liurnia. He’ll be in the eastern part of the village, below the cliffs near the Cathedral of Manus Sellus. He’ll be disguised as a pot. Attack the pot once to force Albus to reveal himself. Then, speak with him to get the first half of the Haligtree Secret Medallion.
How to find the Haligtree Medallion’s left half
For the left half of the medallion, you need to defeat Commander Niall in Castle Sol. This castle is located in the northern part of the Mountaintops of the Giants. Defeat Commander Niall, then go to the elevator to reach the top of the tower. You will find the other part of the Haligtree Secret Medallion here.
Activate the Grand Lift of Rold
Once you have acquired both halves of the medallion, return to the Grand Lift of Rold and use the “Hoist Secret Medallion” option. A cutscene will play and you will be brought down to a new area leading you toward the Consecrated Snowfield in Elden Ring.
Use the large path to move from the hidden area toward the Catacombs. Many enemies will be there, and it won’t be an easy ride. However, most of these obstacles are optional, so you can skip them for the time being to move on with your quest for the snow area in Elden Ring.
You should just take the big staircase from the hallway and escape the giant Octopus blocking your way toward the top. Go past the creature and turn right, landing in the Consecrated Snowfield in Elden Ring. Proceed a little further to find the area’s first Site of Grace.
How to get to Consecrated Snowfield early in Elden Ring
You can use a glitch in Elden Ring to reach the Consecrated Snowfield early. This method allows you to reach the area without the Haligtree Medallion. However, there’s no surety about this method working every time.
To perform the Consecrated Snowfield skip, use your mount. This method requires you to jump off the mountain next to the Shack of the Lofty area. You need to jump toward the Minor Erdtree and use the double jump option to cover more distance while being aerial.
This method always ends in your death, but if you are lucky enough and land in the right spot, you can respawn inside the snowy area. You have to aim for the catchment zone to reach the Consecrated Snowfield early in Elden Ring successfully.
This method is tricky, so we do not suggest this and will ask you to reach the area using the Haligtree Secret Medallion method.
Consecrated Snowfield map fragment location
The map fragment location for Consecrated Snowfield is fairly easy to find in Elden Ring. After entering the snowy area in the game, you have to make your way north. Go past the cliffs and frozen ravine to reach the Monolith, surrounded by several trees.
The journey toward the map fragment is not long, but it is tiring as your vision is poor due to continuous blizzards in the frozen area. So you should mark the location on your map to easily reach it.
