Redmane Castle

Blaidd's errand and the festival it starts, Fia's dagger errand, the plaza, Starscourge Radahn and the catacombs under the dunes, then the castle once its garrison returns.

This section suits level 60 to 70, and more for the catacombs under the dunes. It starts at Seluvis's tower in Three Sisters, with the errand Blaidd gave you in Siofra River, because finishing that errand sets off the festival. While it runs the soldiers are gone, many castle doors are locked and the champions wait in the plaza. The rooms that are shut reopen once you speak to Jerren after the fight and rest.

Finish Caelid before these talks

Telling Blaidd what Sellen said sets off the festival at Redmane Castle, over in Caelid, and showing Sellen the letter may be enough to start it. The festival sends Alexander from Gael Tunnel to the castle, so finish the Caelid and Sellia section first, with Alexander: Gael Tunnel ticked. The castle's garrison goes, many of its doors lock and the boss pair in its plaza stays away until the festival is over, but all of that comes back afterwards. Ranni also leaves her Rise until Radahn falls, so her quest pauses here.

Fia: the Weathered DaggerHidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepMissablePoint of no returnMinor spoiler
Location
Roundtable Hold – At the Roundtable Hold let Fia hold you in her room: with the festival running she hands you the Weathered Dagger, and if she doesn't yet, ask again after your first Altus grace. Give it to D in the Hold and rest at the Table of Lost Grace. The door past Hewg then stands open: go in and talk to Fia until she leaves.
Why you can lose it
Fia leaves the Hold at the late-game Forge rest and this talk goes with her, though the gear in the open room stays.

Ash of War: Flaming StrikeSkill
Location
Caelid · Redmane Castle – Fast travel to the Impassable Greatbridge grace, ride east over the bridge and up to the shut main gate, then circle right along the cliffs. Torrent clears the gap past the makeshift tower, and the path climbs to a field of tombstones with a leafless tree behind the castle. A Teardrop Scarab hides among the tombstones on the left: kill it quickly.
Summary
Ash of War.

Armorer's Cookbook [5]Key item
Location
Caelid · Redmane Castle – At the tombstone field climb the ladder, not the stairs, whose door only opens from the far side. Follow the rooftop left to a second ladder at the west end and go down it: the book is on one of two corpses in the stable-like room on the left, among resting Commoners. Unlock the door there for a shortcut, and if the way is shut during the festival, take the book once the plaza pair is dead.

Radahn's death closes the plaza

Finish the crowd before the fight. Radahn's death locks Alexander: Redmane plaza, Finger Maiden Therolina, Gesture: Polite Bow, Bloody Finger Okina, Lionel the Lionhearted and Gesture: Casual Greeting, and it ends Blaidd's talk in Siofra River, which you have already had. Summon Tragoth in the fight for the Casual Greeting: it is the last safe chance this route gives. After the kill, stay on the dunes until you have talked to Blaidd: he moves on when you leave.

Talk to the crowd first

Speak to Blaidd and Alexander in the plaza before you go to Jerren. Both have summon signs at the fight.

About this guide

Expect about 230 hours over three runs, in a game where bosses take practice. This route uses no save backups. Run 1 collects everything in the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree, and takes about 170 of those hours. NG+ (about 40) and NG++ (about 20) are shorter runs for the other two endings and the other quest branches, with tougher enemies and some bosses to beat again for remembrance trades. Random drops and free-choice NPC kills never count toward 100%.
