Consecrated Snowfield is a Location in Elden Ring. The Consecrated Snowfield region is a secret area on the lower plains of the Mountaintops of the Giants, that can only be accessed by those that collect both parts of the Haligtree Secret Medallion. Haligtree Secret Medallion (Right) is found in Liurnia of the Lakes. Haligtree Secret Medallion (Left) is found in Mountaintops of the Giants. Once you have both pieces of the medallion, go to the Grand Lift of Rold and select "Hoist secret medallion" (make sure your action is "Hoist secret medallion" and not "Hoist medallion") to brandish your secret one.
If you have already unlocked the Hidden Path to the Haligtree site of grace (located in Forbidden lands sites of grace menu tab). fast travel to it then go up the stairs to the outside.
The route through this land, crossed east to west by a frozen river, leads to Miquella's Haligtree. This is the path taken by those unchosen, though it is a trial all the same.

Elden Ring Consecrated Snowfield Maps and Notes
How do I get to the Second Snow Area in Elden ring?
Players have considered this the second snow region in Elden Ring since it is a secret area on the lower plains of the Mountaintops of the Giants. As shown through the instructions above, you will need to take the Grand Lift of Rold to this location. However you will be required to have both parts of the Haligtree Secret Medallion. Haligtree Secret Medallion (Right) is found in Liurnia of the Lakes. Haligtree Secret Medallion (Left) is found in Mountaintops of the Giants. Once you have both pieces of the medallion, go to the Grand Lift of Rold and select "Hoist secret medallion" (make sure your action is "Hoist secret medallion" and not "Hoist medallion") to brandish your secret one.
After you unlock the Secret Path to the Haligtree site of grace, which is located in the Forbidden Lands fast travel menu tab, you can fast travel to it then go up the stairs to exit to Consecrated Snowfield.

This is my favorite area because once I got tackled by a runebear that I didn't know existed because of the fog in the middle of a fight and lost 500,000 runes I had been putting off levelling up with. I know it's my own fault for not using them and that it's not hard to get more, but it's still kinda upsetting to be smushed by a runebear out of nowhere.

For first time visitors... look for the map icon on your map. Place a marker east of southeast, and head in that general direction. In that general area is a grace out of the snowstorm. The southernmost part of the map is always a blizzard... but once you're through it, it's much less annoying.

Writing this for the young’uns. Imagine this area but instead of fighting one red wolf, you fight two as a bossfight and one of them can go berserk and heals himself. That’s Frigid Outskirts

First third is just slightly-less-shitty Frigid Outskirts with more random death cliffs, the rest feels suitably haunting and abandoned.

After reading this comment section, I have no regrets just rushing through this area until I hit a grace

I guess I'm not the only feeling this way, but especially the first part of this feels like their second attempt at Frigid Outskirts, and while I don't love it, I gotta admit it's sooooooooo much better than FO. No more absolute blindness with few seconds of clarity to get your bearings, no more frickin' reindeers from hell, no more feeling that the whole level is in fact totally useless with hardly anything in it. It's not amazing, but it's pretty alright.

I actually don't mind there not being new enemies here for the most part, I think Consecrated Snowfield's theme of 'the holy land for the best of the best of everybody that they eventually must seek out' is actually well served by having it be inhabited by an assortment of creatures from the entire rest of the game with massively inflated stats.
The fact that you can't see a damn thing despite being supposed to dodge constant murder salvos, though, THAT makes this area garbage. I took a screenshot of one of the 'frozen mist' attacks after it killed me, and it was impossible to see even in a still image without a time limit.

I wouldn't mind extremely powerful enemies with obviously oversized healthbars, if they were unique and new. But instead of doing unique and new enemies this area is literally an assortment of the most annoying, infuriating and over the top enemies in the entire game. Theo the wyrm is literally more powerful than Placidusax.

Everybody has their own opinion, I don’t mind tough enemies too much but I’ve never been a fan of not being able to see well in games like this. I love FromSoft games but with how barebones they can be as far as telling you how to navigate certain areas it’s easy for me to get lost sometimes and not being able to see makes it 10X worse. The beginning part of this zone is definitely reminiscent of Frigid Outskirts but it’s not quite as bad as FO

After dying, on my way to the Rotten Duelist west of the first site of grace, enough times mostly getting mauled by the (first I've found so far) Runebear almost invisible in the blizzard, I circled back to the cliff above it - a couple of places along the cliff he will run up and shiv a player from the mist: if you're lucky, he'll push you off, but then the only way to acquire a lock is by impaling yourself on his claws. However, there's a spot on the cliff (just west of the line between the Hidden Path SoG and the first CS SoG, 45% of the way up) where you can target lock him and used range attacks and he just tries to climb at you but, yeh, can only raw. I used Rocks and Loretta's Greatbow, now going back to try fire magic and pots

It's a bit silly how tanky the mounted albinaurics archers are, but their arrows literally can't hit you if you walf slowly to the side. Even if you are drinking, just move orthogonally and they will miss everytime.

Genuinely the worst area ever in a fromsoft game, IMO. Not being able to see anything + a bunch of enemies that can burst down your health immediately is horrible design. I actually think this game is too big and some areas suffered greatly because of it. It's still one of the best open world games ever, but some places in this game run counter to the design philosophy of their smaller scale more carefully crafted games. This area is like playing DS2 again.

This area isn't nearly as bad as it seems if you are properly leveled and equiped. Just get to where you are going and come back when you are ready to explore it. Those runebears still hit like a truck though.

What's the deal with those spectral dragonkin? is it the same one spawning over and over regardless of players killing it, or is there a pack? I've killed them a few times but then had another pop up or the same one respawn right away.

Found another item missing on the map. It was a Rune, sitting on a dead body east of Apostate Derelict. Map Location -61 / 135.
Go South-East from the Site of Grace: Apostate Derelict, towards the river, and you will see a path down, on the ledge overlocking the river is a body with the item on it.

The area is beautiful, and as much as I adore the snowfield, travel through a blizzard and see a beautiful snowy forest when it clears, I just can’t excuse the sheer brutality of it. Both this and Mountaintop suffer from the “skip all of it and sprint to the end” and that’s kind of a shame for how wonderful these areas could’ve been.

I found a Somber Smithing Stone 8 or 9 on top of the Stone Spire just south of Albinauric rise east side of consecrated snowfield. Missing on the map, so added a comment on the map page as well. On the way up to the way gate, hold left until you find a school of magic just next to the base of a stone spire formation, that school of magic has the magic rain, defeat it, then jump to the top of the stone spire and there is a somber smithing stone. -74 / 148 is the location on the map.

Outside of Latenna’s questline, this area has no real reason for existing. In fact, they could’ve put Ordina in Flame Peak or the Moutaintops, same as the churches, overworld bosses, caves, etc.
It legitimately feels like this area’s only reason for existing is to pad runtime, which is not something I would normally ever say in FromSoftware’s case.

Some pointers on how to get through the fog or whatever it is would have been nice. Also, is there any worthwhile loot in that blizzard worth stumbling around to find it? Not golden runes, furled finger remedies, mushrooms or any other turd loot no one gives the least amount of f**ks for?

This took me forever to figure out, and I think they added an NPC to tell you about it in a recent patch:
There is a path of candle-like lights on the ground that you can follow through the blizzard.
Unfortunately, the lights are pale yellow, so it's very easy to miss them against the blinding white fog.

Yes, the Bear, the Dragonkin spirits, and the Wolf Archers were kinda cancerous, but have you tried fighting the Red Wolf in the snowstorm while also being attacked and staggered by 10 rabid grey wolves non-stop while also hopelessly trying to dodge magic projectiles that literally spawn out of sight and deal 40% of your HP as damage?
Is there a way to kill the giant spectral... I'm not sure what it is, a skeleton knight on all fours or maybe a dragonkin knight?, it is between the area with the two knight riders in the clearing before yellow anix ruins, you can hear it walking around, i whittled it's health down to 0 4 times in a row but he keeps immediately re-spawning.
...I don't think the two carriages are supposed to be under the 'Sites of Grace' list.

I genuinely enjoyed this area. It's awesome, no sarcasm. Tough to see in the blizzard, but using the map plus cardinal directions it's actually really simple. And I loved clearing the entire blizzard area, even that Red Wolf! Very fun to have this variety in the game. And dodging the lightning balls is simple folks - just trigger them and run behind a tree or rock, or let Torrent take the brunt (sprint on her, then heal her with raisins, as she'll take damage from the aoe). Best tip of all though, activate the Inner grace and then explore, this causes most of the area to be cleared of the whiteout blizzard.

I'm not even being salty when I say this but I 100% believe the game would be improved drastically if this whole area was just completely removed from the game.

They basically dumped every type of enemy into this area, with 100x health and damage and with no visibility, and just said "there you go - beat that". In fact that just describes the second half of the game to be honest.
We are definitely in need of a map marker for the Mohgwin Palace teleport. Unless players want to 100% every zone they encounter, there is a very slim chance they will notice a tiny gateway hidden in a corner guarded by a single mob in their first playthrough, especially without consulting web resources.
Varre's questline is fine, but stowing away an alternative access to a game zone that might as well play part in the upcoming (hopefully) DLC is just unacceptable.
