Two Great Runes Required to Enter Leyndell

To enter the Royal Capital of Leyndell, you must first acquire two Great Runes from multiple possible bosses.

We recommend getting the Great Runes from Godrick the Grafted and Rennala, the Queen of the Full Moon.

Starscourge Radahn and Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, also drop their Great Runes upon defeat. They, however, are more challenging fights.

Reach Altus Plateau Through the Gael Tunnel or Grand Lift of Dectus

To reach the Altus Plateau and Leyndell, the Royal Capital, you may either go through the Gael Tunnel or use the Grand Lift of Dectus.

The Gael Tunnel features a Magma Wyrm you must defeat at the end of the pathway. At the same time, the Grand Lift of Dectus requires you to obtain the two halves of the Left and Right halves of the Dectus Medallion.

Boss Locations Interactive Map

The Interactive Map both shows the location of key points on the map, and doubles as a collectible checker.

Click an icon on the right side to show all the pins of a specific type, or click the magnifying glass button to search for a specific pin by name.
Click a pin on the map to see its name and description, and a relevant picture or video if available.
From here, click Mark as Acquired to indicate that you've gotten a collectible already. This will change its icon on the map to show that it has been collected, and add 1 to that pin type's Counter.
To undo this, click on the same pin and click Restore to unclaimed.
To check how many pins you have marked so far, check the Counter in the bottom left, and click the icon that looks like a checklist to see counters for all pin types.
If the collected pins start to get in the way, you can hide them all by clicking the green Show Pins button on the left side.

	Show Names This button reveals the Name of every icon currently shown.
	Show Pins This button will toggle between showing and hiding all the pins which you have already marked as acquired.

	Search Mode Toggle This button will display a searchbar which you can use to search for an individual pin by its name.
	Icon Mode Toggle In Search Mode, this button will toggle you back to Icon Mode, removing the search bar and displaying the icons again.
	All Pins This button is shown along with the Icons on the right when there are over 6 types of pins. Click it for a full selection of all available pin types.
	Counter Tracks the number of pins you have of a certain type. The pin type shown is set to the page and currently cannot be changed; however, all pin type counters can be viewed by clicking the checklist icon on the right side.
