Scadu Altus is a Location in Elden Ring, added with the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The Scadu Altus region is to the northeast of Gravesite Plain. [See Shadow of the Erdtree Map]
The plateau occupied by Messmer's army that peers towards the Scadutree to the northeast, named after its counterpart in the realm of the Erdtree. At its center lies the shadow keep.
Scadu Altus Map & Map Fragments
There are 2 ways to reach Scadu Altus:
- Defeat Rellana, Twin Moon Knight in Castle Ensis. This is the recommended way and will open the path to Highroad Cross - Site of Grace where you will meet important NPCs.
- Jump on a Spiritspring that will take you to Fort of Reprimand in Scadu Altus (doing this will skip the Castle Ensis exploration) [See it in the Elden Ring Map]
Scadu Altus is revealed with Map: Scadu Altus
(See our Shadow of the Erdtree Game Progress Route page for more info.)

Who in their right mind decided to wash out the entire image for such a huge area? Makes exploration a chore.

You can get to Scadu Altus by jumping on a spirit spring that gets you behind the Fort of Reprimand.

This whole area feels like the weakest part of the DLC. So big and open, but doesn't feel as jam-packed with cool stuff to stumble upon like the base game.

There's another site of grace called "Behind the Fort of Reprimand." In the valley southwest of the fort with the Miranda plants, there's a spirit spring you can unlock that jumps you halfway up the cliff face, then another spirit spring that'll launch you onto the fort.

Is Scadu supposed to be pronounced Shadow? Just a guess. Gaol is pronounced Jail, after all. Oh, and Lanthorn is pronounced Lantern (but that's from Warframe).

It is possible to get to Scadu Aluts without completing Castle Ensis. If you use precise jumping on the cliff north of the entrance to Fort Reprimand.
Recluses' river downstream area gives me ds1 vibes
