Fort Faroth Walkthrough
Of note in this fort are the Dectus Medallion (Right) and the Radagon's Soreseal talisman.
To get the Dectus Medallion piece, head inside the main entrance and make your way through the dark room, fighting off the Giant Bats and Chanting Winged Dames. Beware as they are significantly tougher than any you've encountered in Limgrave. Once you reach the back of the room, climb the ladder to reach the top of the tower. There is a chest here containing the Medallion. It is one of two halves required to activate the Grand Lift of Dectus, with the other half being in Fort Haight in Mistwood.
To get Radagon's Soreseal, from the top of the tower with the Medallion, jump off onto the main roof, kill the Spectral Knight enemies, then drop down onto the wooden platform from the second smaller square opening on the top of the fort (it has a ladder to climb down, but you can just jump down). You then proceed on the wooden platform where you encounter a small rat. After killing it, you would need to make a running jump onto another wooden platform (perpendicular to the current one you're on) where you encounter a small rat and giant rat. After disposing them, just follow the path and ladder down to retrieve Radagon's Soreseal.
Elder Dragon Greyoll can also be found laying on the fields just west of the fort. She can easily be killed by equipping any Weapons or Skills that proc the bleed effect. She will not engage you but you should only attack her from her tail. Otherwise her lesser dragon underlings will attack. Killing Greyoll will yield 5 Dragon Hearts and also unlock Elder Dragon Greyoll's Roar at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion.

Rune Farming Guide
This is a great rune farming location for Level 70ish players.
If you just clear the lower bat area it will net you ~10k in 3 minutes. Get another ~10k if you go up the ladder to the top area and kill the blue soldiers. Once you are comfortable, you can eat a Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot for even more.
I'm melee and this is how I do it:
- Equip some damage talismans and your highest damage weapon with GRAVITAS! Ash of War (very important!).
- 2x FP flasks is enough
- Outside the entrance, summon a tanky Spirt Summon. I use Engvall +5. Buff yourself and get full mana.
- Enter and stand behind first pillar in the center. The bat on the ceiling will drop and scream but the post will block the damage. Engvall will stun it, so lock on and kill.
- Straight ahead is a wood wall separating you from the rest of the area. On the other side the bats and Dames will be crawling slowing toward you behind the wall. Engvall will not them engage yet so stand behind the wall and GRAVITAS! That will suck everything to you and stun lock them, but they stay on the other side of the wall.
- Engvall will either go around and engage or fight through the wall. Either way is ok but behind the wall with you is better.
- Now use charged HEAVY attack as those will pass through the wall, but those Chanting Winged Dames can't grab you.
- So GRAVITAS! heavies, more heavies, more GRAVITAS! repeat
- You will get poisoned so have a cure handy. I use the incantation. Just don't worry too much about it as the effect takes awhile to build and then the DoT is kinda slow. But watch your HP bar, high HP is strongly recommended.
- When you hear a Dame scream start block or move as they do high damage. Or GRAVITAS!, that will shut them up.
- If any make it around the wall you need to deal with them fast. If they are in the air GRAVITAS! to bring them down as their grab attack is a one shot. They poise break pretty easy but I can't get a crit hit when they are down so I just beat on them.
- Once they are thinned out or if Engvall has moved to the middle area. Go behind the wall and help. Just spam GRAVITAS! to keep them flopping around on the ground. 2-3 hits then GRAVITAS! again. Repeat.
- Everything should die and Engvall should have about 50% health.
- There is one bat near the door to the room with the ladder that takes you up to the medallion chest. It wont agro until you stand on the stairs to the door.
- So before that cure any poison, heal to full and consume a mana flask.
- Now, lock on the bat and walk up the stairs. When he starts to move. Swing back behind the pillar right near him to block his scream.
- Engvall will engage and you just need to help finish it off.
- That is the last enemy dead in the area and that will also fill your flasks.
- Now go back to the entrance and stand below where the BIG rat is above. (second panel from the left if facing the wood wall under him)
- Cast GRAVITAS! and you should see him take damage.
- Move around the corner to the area under him where you would get jumped if you were up there. Look up through the floor and when you see him on the boards, GRAVITAS! He will take more damage.
- Now move into the open area and he should jump down from the ledge if you coaxed him properly.
- Lock on and attack. Repeat attacks will breaks his poise and you can crit hit him. He drops over 1.2K runes.
- At this point I go outside rest at the site of grace and repeat.
Once you are good at it this run takes about 3 mins, so a Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot will run out by now as well. If you want, you can go up the ladder and beat the blue ghost soldiers up there. They are easy except that big sword-wielding MF. Each drop about 1K runes and there are 8 I think. It is a long climb and the soldiers spawn too slow so I skip them.
If you die with a lot of runes just take it slow and methodically to get back to them. The Dames will one shot you if you just run in there. So abort and reset if it looks too hairy. Stay in the first area behind the wall and fight there if at all possible. It has an easy to escape route to the site of grace (figure out how to do it before hand as you can get on the wrong side of the fire wall).
All in all, this farming spot as its not too difficult if you have a good upgraded weapon, a good tanky +5 summon and are level 70ish. Low risk once you are comfortable. Always remember GRAVITAS!

Just started a new game with a faith based character for the first time in all my souls/elden ring playthroughs.
Ran over here at level 31 with 20 vigor. Ran through the bats, none of them woke up with enough time to do anything before I made it to the ladder. While climbing my poison meter filled slightly. Once I got to the top and claimed the medallion, I hopped onto the roof, ran to the drop and dropped down. Ignored the first rat and jumped across so the spectral knights couldn't get me. Hit the small rat to bait the large rat. Dodged and dropped down. Grabbed the seal. Dodged the giant rat after he came down after me and then fast traveled out.
Took one attempt. You don't even have to fight the enemies here.

this game is so just horribly balanced. i love this game and want to play it but im just sick and tired of being on a wiki all ****ing day, looking for items, geeting 2 shotted by a ****ing flying grandma *****. SO tired of this and yet i am a slave to keep playing

You can get 3500 runes killing the two birds at Rotview balcony in 1 minute and without any risk of damage. So equivalent in three minutes of time so I don't see why anyone would use this place as a farming location. (Caveat: killing the two birds perched requires ranged attacks.)

I went there with 26 vigor and the big rat just ****ing one-shot me. Safe to say I want be coming back for quite a bit

This is a high level scaled area with a key item used for mid game, which is maybe an oversight?
The bigger bats can one shot you with a grab with around 60 vigor.
Weird level scaling.
Why aren't the spectors listed on this page? Do they not have a page?

I fail to see how a fort where rats deal 450+ damage (after being reduced by 25%) counts as a farming location...?

This is my farming spot as its not too hard if you are at this point in the game. Level 70ish. Low risk once you are comfortable.
Remember GRAVITAS!

this place's enemy scaling is insane and means that if you want to take the normal elevator up to Altus Plateau you gotta brave this late-game-scaled area for the medallion piece. On the bright side, it's not actually HARD to get that Medallion piece at all, you just have to sprint through, maybe tank a hit from a bat as you get on the ladder. Just don't try fighting (the normal bats aren't that bad but there's multiple superbats that are quite bad or at best very tedious). If you want the soreseal you gotta sprint by some super strong blue ghosts and then through some super strong rats, which is a bit more of a pain to pull off without dying, but at least the medallion is not actually hard to get once you understand that this place isn't meant to be fought.

This is a fort? Do me a favour. Looks like a shack to me. And those bats are swines.

gravitas aow (bats and chanting dames) and the beast-repellent torch (rats) will do the trick even if you're low level. just don't get greedy and ignore the soldiers.

I was able to defeat Greyoll by standing under her left wing and attacking with two Uchigatana. It would seem that the other dragons were unable to find me through the wing. If you run up from the grace you can immediately attack from under the wing. You may need to find the sweet spot as the ground is uneven, but two uchis were able to reach.

This is doable with any tanky summons. Lure the bats 1 or 2 at a time and have a poison bolus equipped. The big rat is the hardest thing because you get separated from your summons briefly and backed into a pretty small space with a giant rat who can more or less two-shot anything under 25 vigor. If it's too much trouble, drop, grab the soreseal, and get out.

Dragon communion seal + nightrider flail OR Reduvia + heavy armor (greatjar talisman) + high arcane + 15 Faith for minimum incantation access + Faith tear in flask so you can cast the big boi dragon spells. At midgame with this gear Dragonmaw one shots the weak bats and puts the harpies into a coma. start with glintstone breath and use Reduvia and/or dragonmaw as the finisher once they get close. Try to kite back one or two at a time into the anteroom, try to always hit at least two dames per full double-cast when holding down L1. Then roll back into cover behind wall, drink one pot, roll back out , cast again while wolves keep them busy. If one surges you with partial health, Reduvia L2 twice then roll jump R2 once she is close, then dragon maw or even claw maybe.

You can run right through the bats and up the ladder. The thing that got me was that giant rat. One hit kill every time. I ended up getting him through the wall with some glintstone dragon's breath.
One of those spectral soldiers dropped a lordsworn's straight sword, 5x lordsworn's bolt, a mushroom, and a butterfly. I wish that luck had been saved for worthwhile drops.

I really hate this place, lost 62000 runes after being killed by the spirit knights and forgetting how many of those singing bas***d bats were on the ground floor. It was all for nothing as well because it is actually possible to sprint right to the ladder without any of the bats landing any sort of hit at all. I'd also advise caution when you get to the rooftop, the spirit knights are manageable one at a time but if you get to a spot where a second one can spawn in they will work together to ruin your day. I summoned the wolves+5 on the last attempt to get Radagon's soreseal and it was touch and go, more luck than judgement. There is also a giant rat when you climb down the ladder to get the soreseal.

I was overconfident and rushed in not expecting much of a fight. Then I saw a single bat that was a bit tanky and I thought ok , that’s some unusual bat I might need to be more careful. Then I made a few steps further and a horde of bats just jumped on me out of nowhere. I started running around, swinging trying to hit the bats but no avail. It was so dark I couldn’t see sh*t. The fight quickly turned into a clusterf*c of epic proportions. I tried my hardest to win this fight but one of those singing abominations grabbed me by the neck and sucked me dry. Never ever have I experienced such chaotic, quick and unfair death. This place is a disaster, people. Mind my words . Stay. away. from. it. That bloody medallion piece is not worth it.
I was sl 70 with +15 weapon

If you are getting wrecked trying to get past the first room, use sneaking to get close to the ladder and run the rest of the way. Bring something for the poison.

i found a almost perfect way to farm the bats and hags there in mid game. 1st is the gravitas ashes of war 2nd is marionette soldiers spirit ashes +5 will do as they are immune to poison 3rd (optional) items that increase resistance to poison. kill the giant bat at the entrance then walk to the middle then summon the marionette soldiers. as the summons taking the aggro, go near the enemies then cast gravitas just beware of their poison mists.

This the first spot I run for when I start a new character, that soreseal is unbeatable to start especially on a RL1 run

I don't understand why this is in an endgame area. I just don't get the "intended" progression route of the zones. You do limgrave, weeping peninsula, liurnia, then do you go to altus or caelid ? Let's say caelid since Blaidd says there's Radahn's Festival. You go to caelid. Enemies are okay. You get into Dragonbarrow and you juste get WRECKED since everything is scaled to late/endgame. So you leave. You finish radahn and go to altus. You can't use the life so you go through the mines. Then you complete the game normally until endgame and you can explore dragonbarrow, and then you find the half of the dectus medaillon but it doesn't have ANY use since you already went to altus though the mines a while ago. I just don't get the meaning of the Dectus Lift.

After many fails I just hoofed it to the ladder. The soldiers upstairs were easy compared to the dames.

There are also a couple of Neutralizing Boluses up on top of the Fort.
When you are up on the tower and have gathered the Medallion, i find that a perfect place to plop you jump down Latenna the Albinauric to shoot the ghostly knights below.
Jump down, and fight your way to the right, in the NE corner of the top you can break some wooden barrier and debris and there is a little platform with Neutralizing Boluses x2

utterly disgusting. id rather clear sellia crystal cave 100x over before going back to this ****hole. Four Chanting Winged Dames, all of which do AoE screams and are pretty tanky to physical AND magical damage. second layer spectral knights are slow and easy but its damn hard to see when their spawns trigger and its also somewhat inconsistent when they do trigger. third layer giant rat and his brood all packed into a little box and waiting in ambush corners. IMO just rush in grab the trinket get out ; /

Idk how to edit but the big dragon gives over 70k runes and is super easy to cheese with any weapon that inflicts blood loss I used the flail no upgrades and just used the skill attack, just stay behind him at his legs and all the other dragons just forget where you are

there's a Radagon's Soreseal in a hidden room protected by a giant rat, accessible by climbing down to the rafters from up on the roof
Overscaled considering the location.
Pretty straight-forward way to say "Are you sure you want to go to Altus Plateau?".
I also wonder why the Radagon's seal is there.
What is the connection?
I don't think they put it there randomly.
