After Tarnished makes their way through Liurnia in Elden Ring, they will arrive at the Grand Lift of Dectus, an elevator mechanism that will grant players access to the Atlus Plateau. However, the lift cannot operate without the Dectus Medallion, which has been separated into two halves and placed in different regions of the Lands Between. Therefore, to activate the Grand Lift of Dectus, Elden Ring fans must locate both sides of the item to advance into the next region of their journey.
