We report on ultrasonic and magnetocaloric-effect measurements of the hexagonal antiferromagnet Dy3Ru4Al12 having a distorted kagome lattice. We observed a pronounced softening of the transverse modulus, C44, above 30 T applied along 100, indicating an as-yet-unidentified magnetic field induced phase transition. We determined the field-temperature phase diagrams using pulsed magnetic fields up to 55.2 T, applied along 100 and 001. Optimizing crystal-electric-field parameters within the mean-field approximation, we conclude that the enhancement of the field induced phase-transition temperature is due to electric quadrupolar and magnetic octupolar mediated interactions. We propose that the order parameter of the magnetic field induced phase transitions is the electric quadrupole Ozx , facilitated by octupole-mediated interactions.
