Activating the Grand Lift of Dectus
To trigger the festival, you must activate the Grand Lift of Dectus, a large construction located in the northern area of Liurnia of the Lakes. You must also activate the Dectus Medallion, which you can find on the right and left sides of the Grand Lift of Dectus. Once activated, the Grand Lift takes you to the Altus Plateau, where you can then collect the Dectus Medallion halves.
Activating the Grand Lift of Dectu is a major questline in Elden Ring. To activate this event, you need to find and bring the Dectus Medallion, which consists of two halves. Once you have the Dectus Medallion, you can use the lift to travel between the Altus Plateau and Liurnia. During the quest, you must look for both parts of the medallion, which is located in two locations in the Lands Between.
Defeating Astel
Astel is a powerful enemy. Her attacks can damage even sub-100 characters. The purple orbs she spits will hit enemies in a wide arc. Her attacks can also damage Aort, and if you stay under her, she will teleport you to a different area. If you don’t react in time, the purple orbs can kill you.
Astel is a great fight, but it is easier than it looks. Defeating this swarm of giant, squid-like monster will trigger the Elder Ring festival in the Ainsel River Main. You can fight Astel in three locations: Eternal City, Nokron, and Lake of Rot. Astel has multiple attacks, including a huge attack with pincers.
The best way to avoid this attack is to dodge the Astel’s tail strikes. It will launch its tail high into the air. To avoid this attack, move to your right side or roll forward. The Astel will also raise a claw and will try to gnaw on you. Luckily, you can avoid the claw by rolling around the head, and dodge the attack. It will leave a purple mist behind it.
Defeating Radahn
This event is triggered by defeating Radahn in the Arena, and he is an extremely unique shardbearer boss. You can summon allies from the Elder Ring festival indefinitely and they can be used as distractions. Radahn has high melee damage but few ranged attacks. To deal with Radahn’s attacks, you can use various summons, such as Torrent, to keep him busy. If you’re not confident in your summoning skills, you can use sprinting to avoid his attacks.
The first step is to travel to the Radahn Festival, located in the Southeast Caelid at Castle Redmane. The portal is not always active, so you can usually teleport there by talking to an NPC who signals the festival. Once you’re inside, talk to Ranni and he’ll ask you if you’d like to fight Radahn and complete the quest.
Defeating Blaidd
In order to activate the Elder Ring festival, players must first defeat the monster Blaidd in Ranni’s Rise. Blaidd is located in the Siofra River, past the Hallowhorn Grounds. Defeating Blaidd will give the player the armor that Blaidd wore. Afterwards, players must talk to Iji at the Road to Manor Site of Grace. After you talk to him, you will receive an introduction to Sellen. In addition, you will get the bell bearing which will let you buy Somber Smithing Stones 1-4.
In addition to fighting Blaidd, players must also defeat Iji and Darriwil to unlock the Elden Ring festival. Once they have completed the quest, Blaidd will thank the player for helping him defeat Darriwil and hand over a Smithing Stone to complete the mission. This quest will trigger the Elder Ring festival and grant the player with the ability to control a spirit animal.
