How to Reach Flame Peak and the Forge of the Giants
From Zamor Ruins, cross the Mountaintops toward the frozen lake and Giants’ Gravepost, then follow the southern ridge to Fire Giant and the Forge.
The Mountaintops are reached from Leyndell after defeating Morgott: speak to Melina, receive the Rold Medallion, and use the Grand Lift of Rold. The main route crosses the Forbidden Lands and Zamor Ruins, then forks toward the frozen lake, Castle Sol, and the Fire Giant. The region also contains the eastern half of the Haligtree Secret Medallion. This hub separates the main story route from the optional Snowfield path.
From Zamor Ruins, cross the Mountaintops toward the frozen lake and Giants’ Gravepost, then follow the southern ridge to Fire Giant and the Forge.
Defeat the Fire Giant, rest at the Forge of the Giants, and choose Melina’s prompt to burn the Erdtree; the story sends you to Farum Azula.
Use both secret medallion halves at Rold, reach Ordina in Consecrated Snowfield, and light four statues in its evergaol to open the Haligtree portal.
Reach Mohgwyn Palace with Varré’s Pureblood Knight’s Medal or the sending gate west of Consecrated Snowfield; compare both routes and prerequisites.
Find Albus’s half in the Village of the Albinaurics, take the other from Castle Sol after Commander Niall, then use the secret medallion at Rold.
Beat Morgott, receive the Rold Medallion from Melina, and take the Grand Lift of Rold through the Forbidden Lands to the Mountaintops.
