The quest to reach the secret region of Haligtree begins in the Liurnia of the Lakes region. Journey to the Albinauric Village, located under the giant plateau south of the Academy of Raya Lucaria. Here you will find a ghost that is lamenting the end of the village, and pleading with someone named Albus to hide.

This is your hint that there may be something more to this small village. Head up the hill behind the ghost and kill the Perfumer enemy standing guard at the top. Behind him you will notice an out of place looking jar. Roll into it to reveal the hidden NPC Albus.

Albus will explain that he has been holding onto a special medallion in hopes he could pass it onto a special Albinauric named Lanna who is journeying to the chosen land. He will give you the Haligtree Secret Medallion (Right) and ask you to pass it on to Latenna if you cross her path.

With the first medallion half in hand return to the Roundtable Hold where a special event is awaiting you. You will spawn into a special version of the Hold where Esha of the Royal Remains will attack you. Defeat him and you will be transferred back to the normal Roundtable Hold and rewarded with the special Clinging Bone weapon.

Immediately go to Sir Gideon's room where you will notice an item in the place where Ensha was standing before. This is the Royal Remains armor set.

Go into the room and speak with Sir Gideon and ask him about Ensha. He will apologize, then offer to help you on your quest for the other medallion half. He tells you that Latenna is hiding a cave west of the Laskyar Ruins in the south of Liurnia.

Teleport to the Laskyar Ruins Site of Grace, or any other nearby Site of Grace, and head straight for the spot marked on the map above, just below a rock formation near the bottom of the lake. You will find a cave opening that leads to the Lakeside Crystal Cave.

Make your way through the cave, simply following along the path and dropping down to the ledges deeper in the cave anytime it appears you have hit a dead end. At the very bottom you will run into a Bloodhound Knight mini-boss. These enemies are fast, but they are incredibly susceptible to punishment via Guard Counter as long as you have a good shield. You will get the Cerulean Amber Medallion upon defeating him.

Exit the cave through the runnel in the back of the boss room to reach the Slumbering Wolf's Shack where Latenna is resting with her wolf Lobo (you can also find a Site of Grace and Rune Arc here). Speak to Latenna and show her your half of the medallion to gain her trust.

Speak to her again and agree to hear her request, and she will explain that she wants you to take her to the forbidden lands in the north, exactly where we are trying to get to. Talk to her one last time and she will come along with you, in the form of Ash item Latenna the Albinauric.

At this point you will need access to the Mountaintops of the Giants to continue this sidequest, which becomes accessible after completing Leyndell, Royal Capital and its boss.

Once you have completed Leyndell and gained access to the Mountaintops of the Giants you can go to Castle Sol, located at the bottom of the cliffs in the northeast corner of this region.

This is a tough dungeon. You will encounter two of the powerful Lion enemies at the gates, many invisible soldiers, turrets, stormhawks, and teleporting knights.

At the end you will have to battle the dungeon boss, Commander Niall, and his two summoned knights. You will want to defeat the knights first, starting with the quicker, dual-wielding knight. He is easy to separate from the pack then abuse with Guard Counters. A shield with the Barricade Shield ability does wonders here.

Commander Niall seems to get a huge boost in power once his allies have been defeated, so at this point you can choose to defeat the second knight the same way or take Commander Niall on in a two versus one. I recommend just killing the knight and dealing with Niall's extra power in exchange for a simpler fight.

For such a big guy Niall is surprisingly mobile, with a lot of dash and jump moves that can cross the battlefield in a flash. If you need time to heal or recharge your stamina make sure you are doing it when he is cooling down from an attack, not charging one up or you are likely to be caught off guard.

Any time he begins charging up, creating a flurry of snow around him, you just want to back off. All of these attacks are incredibly powerful, some of them hitting nearly the entire arena. It is better to just get back and afford yourself some extra reaction time, as well as an opening to punish the rest time afterwards.

Keep an eye out for his electric blade attacks as well, which are powerful but incredibly telegraphed making them easy to dodge and punish. He almost always follows up his strong attacks with a few weaker spear swings. These are your chance to block and fit in a Guard Counter, sometimes even multiple across one combo.

Defeating him will get you the Veteran's Prosthesis weapon. Exit out the door in the back of the arena and follow the path up to the top where you will find another ghost you can listen to, as well as the Haligtree Secret Medallion (Left).

With both halves of the medallion in hand you can return to the bottom of the Grand Lift of Rold where you will now have the option to "Hoist secret medallion". Executing this action will cause the lift to take you to The Lands Between's final secret region, Miquella's Haligtree. You can also go back and tell Sir Gideon you succeeded in finding the medallion and he will reward you with some information and the Black Flame's Protection Incantation.
