Redmane Castle |
|---|
 |
|
A small castle that is heavily guarded at the castle's outskirts by Radahn Knights and Soldiers. The Redmane Castle serves as the gathering point for warriors alike who are wanting to participate in the Radahn Festival. |
Redmane Castle is a Location in Elden Ring. The Redmane Castle is found in Caelid. It can be reached by crossing the bridge in-front of the "Impassable Greatbridge" site of grace. Follow the path upwards to the castle gate. Circle behind the castle using the path on the right hand side. After disposing of some enemies, there is a gap that you must jump across, it is recommended to use your mount for this section. There will be a small series of stairs leading to a shortcut, a door that can be opened only from the other side. To access the castle itself, you must climb up the ladder near said shortcut.

Radahn Festival
Redmane Castle has two states. At the start of the game, it will be populated with enemies, all rooms will be reachable, and the final plaza will contain the Misbegotten Warrior & Crucible Knight boss fight. However, at some point during the game you will trigger the Radahn Festival which will change the state of the castle considerably. There are three ways to trigger this:
- Activating any Altus Plateau Site of Grace (The Sites of Grace within Volcano Manor don't count, so in order to activate the festival from the Raya Lucaria teleport you must defeat either the Abductor Virgins or Rykard).
- Informing Blaidd about Radahn in Siofra River (This requires Ranni's questline).
- Talking to Iji about Jerren (This also requires Ranni's questline).
Once the festival is active, all the soldiers in the castle and its surroundings will vanish, the waygate from the Impassable Greatbridge site of grace to the Chamber Outside the Plaza site of grace will activate, a number of doors will be locked, and the plaza will contain a number of NPCs preparing to partake in the Radahn Festival, including Blaidd and Alexander. Finger Maiden Thorelina will give you the Polite Bow gesture if you speak with her. Talking to Jerren in the plaza will allow you to battle Starscourge Radahn. Once Radahn is defeated and you speak to Jerren inside the chapel beyond the plaza (and then rest at a site of grace), the Radahn Festival will end and the castle will return to its original state.
Redmane Castle Walkthrough (Radahn Festival)
This walkthrough describes how to traverse the castle during the Radahn Festival. There are additional items, including the Red-Hot Whetblade, available when the festival is not taking place.
The fastest way to reach Redmane Castle is by using the waygate teleporter found on the watchtower of Fort Gael [Map Coordinates]. When you arrive, you'll find yourself outside the fortified outskirts of the castle. Work your way around the cliffs via southwest since the main gate is locked. By the cliffs, you should see a makeshift tower used to store weapons. Climb down two ladders and you'll find a corpse that can be pillaged to acquire x1 Smithing Stone [6]. Climb back up both ladders and continue along the cliffs of the castle.
Along the path of the cliffs, you'll encounter Giant Bat enemies. Keep moving southeast as you reach the top and around the castle where you'll come across a field full of tombstones and large tree without its leaves. You'll encounter a few enemies here such as more Giant Bats and a Poisonous Bat by the tree, but more importantly, a Teardrop Scarab, hiding between some tombstones on the left. Make sure to quickly kill the Teardrop Scarab to obtain x1 Ash of War: Flaming Strike - make sure to check behind the tree to find x1 Miquella's Lily and x8 Smoldering Butterfly that is looted off a corpse that is sitting against a tombstone.
From here, use the ladder to climb to the top, you don't need to take the stairs since the door at the top is locked and can only be opened from the other side. At the top of the ladder, make a left and simply follow the path of the rooftop section until you reach another ladder on the west that you'll need to climb down. At the bottom, you'll first encounter a Zombie Dog roaming. Kill it and enter the stable-like room on the left where you'll see multiple Commoner enemies resting (most of them will not attack you unless you do). Inside that room you can loot two corpses to find x5 Armorer's Cookbook [5] and x1 Smithing Stone [5]. Don't forget to unlock the door here to open the shortcut leading back to the open field with tombstones.
Go back outside, turn left and you'll see another arch doorway. Inside that room, there is a single Page. You can kill it to acquire some Runes but there isn't anything inside and the door here is locked. Use the bricks and rubble to jump over a low part of the wall and down into the clearing below.
Upon landing, look to your left to find a guardhouse. Go up the stairs and check behind the wooden crates to find x1 Golden Rune [6] that is looted off a corpse. Go back down and head east first towards the entrance of the plaza, there are two Lion Guardian enemies at the north section leading to the main gate that we can ignore for now. Midway up the steps, you'll see a waygate teleporter. Walk past it, and continue through the courtyard past the wooden stakes and go inside the room on the right to find the Chamber Outside the Plaza Site of Grace. After discovering the site, go back outside and check the west section. Go up the stairs to another rooftop where you can find a corpse sitting against some wooden crates. Loot it to find x1 Smithing Stone [4].
Go back down towards the west part of the castle where you'll see a hangman's gallows. You'll notice that you are on high ground and you can attack the two Lion Guardian enemies below that are roaming around the castle's main gate. Killing both of the enemies rewards you with Runes along with x2 Somber Smithing Stone [4], x2 Beast Blood, x4 Old Fang. Jump down once the area is clear and loot a corpse that's on a pile of dead bodies and skeletons to find x1 Smithing Stone [4].
Check the tree near the gate to find x1 Arteria Leaf and a one Skeletal Slime enemy. Most of the buildings here with the doors are locked, so check the area near the south corner to find a glowing Teardrop Scarab, which will refill your flask if needed. If you haven't discovered the Imapssable Greatbridge site, head back to the waygate teleporter that you passed before, and use it to transport yourself past the heavily-guarded greatbridge, near the Impassable Greatbridge site [Map Coordinates] - after touching the grace, use the waygate to transport back to the castle's plaza.
From the waygate, head north through the doorway, past the site of grace, and enter the plaza where you'll encounter the NPCs gathered for the Radahn Festival. Talk to Therolina to get the Polite Bow gesture, then go north, up the stairs, then towards the right where you'll see a large sculpture of a chalice. There's a body on the left side of it - loot it to find x1 Somber Smithing Stone [5]. When you are ready to start the festival, turn back in the direction you just came from and speak to Jerren on the right side of the stairs. A cutscene will trigger.
After the cutscene, run up the stairs opposite the crier and enter the chapel where you can loot a body for x1 Smithing Stone [6]. Leave the chapel via the eastern door, and you'll see a lift. Ride it down and at the bottom you'll find a waygate teleporter and a Stake of Marika next to it. The waygate teleporter will transport you to the boss arena at Wailing Dunes, where you will fight Starscourge Radahn.
Post-Festival
This brief section assumes you have completed the festival and have spoken to Jerren to restore the castle to its original state. Only a few notable items will be mentioned.
From the Chamber Outside the Plaza Site of Grace, you can go to the right, which leads to the Misbegotten Warrior & Crucible Knight boss fight. The Misbegotten Warrior will drop the Ruins Greatsword once both bosses are defeated. Going to the left will lead to a group of flamethrower soldiers facing away from you. The one furthest to your right is guarding a pathway. Beyond him is a set of stairs leading to a group of enemies with little else of note.
To the right of the stairs is a path towards an open door in a tower. Follow this path and an Iron Virgin wielding both a sickle and a sawblade will clock you; you can fight it or simply sprint to the open door. Inside the tower is a single Radahn Knight and a corpse containing the Red-Hot Whetblade.
Ascending the tower stairs will place you on the ramparts. Follow the trail of enemies that ends with a Redmane Knight. The knight is protecting a chest containing a Smithing Stone [6].
Double back to the entrance of the tower you climbed and exit. Drop down into the lower courtyard (the Lion Guardians are only present during the festival) and head towards an open door in the tower to the left of the entrance gate. A corpse in the back left contains the Armorer's Cookbook [4].
Return to the Chamber Outside the Plaza Site of Grace and then go towards the flamethrower soldiers again. Continue on past the enemies and in the direction of the Redmane Castle Waygate. To the left will be a set of stairs leading up to an open door. Inside is a ladder. At the top is a Pumpkin Head guarding a corpse with the Flamberge, another corpse with a Smithing Stone [3] and lastly, another Smithing Stone [5] at the top of the tower via the ladder on this floor.

Regarding trigger of Radahn Festival, it seems that informing Blaidd "about Radahn", which would require that you speak to Sellen after Seluvis and before Blaidd is not specifically necessary to trigger it. In my playthrough, I talked with Blaidd in Siofra River, then talked with Seluvis, who sent me to Sellen. Then before speaking with Sellen, I went and talked with Blaidd again. The dialogue went as follows:
"Ah. Well met. What news?
[I still don't understand] Right. I see. Leave this place to me. You just do what you feel is right. If either of us learns anything, we tell the other. Right?"
Nevertheless, this triggered the Radahn Festival for me.

My first thought when I reached the fight where the misbegotten warrior and the crucible knight gank you was "Wtf was that fromsoft?". I hate gank fights with every fiber in my body and was extremely dissapointed to find out that the boss at the end of an interesting endurance gauntlet was a cheap gank fight with reused enemies. Apparantly this changes if you go do stuff in liurnia though, letting you actually fight Radahn. Still hate ganks though.

I'm interested in doing a challenge run where I beat the game without ever visiting Liurnia, but seeing the requirements to trigger the Radahn festival, I guess that's impossible.

"(the Lion Guardians are only present during the festival)" Completely false. The lion guardians are present regardless if the Festival is taking place or not. They just don't respawn after you kill them.

I think lore wise this castle was build after Radahn went mad or malenia invade calid through sea using ship that why they fight in isolated area.

For anyone invading in redmane castle around the higher levels (100+) theres a really nasty cheese host of fingers can do if they're mages, where they sit in the south side of the upper castle, only accessible by ladders. They bait you into climbing the ladder and then spam what looked like a better version of honed bolt that attacks much faster, leaving you poise broken and unable to dodge once you recover from falling.

"This walkthrough describes how to traverse the castle during the Radahn Festival. There are additional items, including the Red-Hot Whetblade, available when the festival is not taking place."
What's the point of the guide navigating the place while the festival is active? Might as well just loot everything when, you know, it's actually possible to access the loot.

Wait, has nobody else been attacked by an Abductor Virgin in the area outside the last site of grace, above the plaza with the two Lion Guardians? I nearly **** myself when I was carefully trying to scout the area out only to hear something to my right and turned to see that thing rolling towards me.
I should have read this first. I'm following Renna's questline and spoke to Blaidd about the festival. Most of the castle is inaccessible. Now i know why.

It might only be overworld SoGs in the altus plateau that trigger the festival, as of 1.08.1. I used the Dectus lift and got to the Old Altus Tunnel site, and the festival hadn't started after that.
- Anonymous
To add: Activating and/or sitting down at the "Divine Bridge" site of grace doesn't trigger the Festival either. (1.08.1 ps4 version)

So, just don't travel to Lunaria, if you don't want to trigger the Festival early.

I'm pretty sure (one of) the triggers, as posters immediately below have said, is giving Sellen the letter from Seluvius and exhausting her dialogue about Radahn. These are the sequence of events I did for evidence:
1. I met Ranni and spoke to Iji, Blaidd and Seluvius in Ranni's Rise and Seluvius' Rise. Blaidd said to meet him in Siofra.
2. I then went and cleared out Redmane Castle, getting to the grace next to the courtyard, stopping just before the boss area with the misbegotten and crucible knight.
3. I then went to find Blaidd in Siofra. He told me to go to Seluvius, who then told me to speak to Sellen. I spoke to Sellen, exhausted her dialogue, but did not go back to Blaidd.
4. I return to Castle Redmane to find it empty! And the boss area is open to enter.
5. I panic, thinking I've missed part of the quest, and return to Siofra, but thankfully Blaidd is still there. I talk to him and complete his dialogue. He says, see you at the festival.
6. I go back to the festival and Blaidd is there, we go and beat up Radhan together.

If you want to be SURE not to activate the festival, don't enter Altus Plateau via Grand Lift or lift after Magma Wyrm's boss room or rest at any SoG's in Altus Plateau, don't tell Iji about Jerren, don't deliver Seluvis's intro letter to Sellen, and don't speak to Alexander after getting him out of the hole. For me, it activated as soon as I delivered Seluvis's letter and exhausted the dialogue.
- Anonymous
I'm 99% certain that speaking to Sellen about needing to defeat Radahn is the trigger for the festival, NOT telling Blaidd about it. Either that, or there is a counter and speaking to at least 2 NPC's about the festival/defeating Radahn causes it to start (e.g.: Sellen & Alexander)
- Anonymous
The Radahn Festival is ACTIVE for me, but I have yet to meet any of the above requirements. Here's what I have/have not done (most current version, 12/09/22):
1. HAVE defeated Magma Wyrm and activated both its and Dectus Lift's sites of grace, but have NOT taken either lift nor entered Altus Plateau
2. Have NOT spoken to/met Jerren at all
3. HAVE discussed needing to defeat Radahn with Sellen, but have NOT told Blaidd or Iji or anyone else about it
4. Have NOT spoken to anyone about the festival other than Alexander (spoke to him 2x, Limgrave & Gael Tunnel)
5. HAVE spoken to/exhausted all dialogue with all available NPC's (other than those mentioned above) and completed all available content prior to entering Altus Plateau or continuing Ranni's questline past the point mentioned, EXCEPT for most of Greyoll's Dragonbarrow and pre-festival Redmane Castle (have NOT killed/angered any NPC's, though some have died on their own according to their script)

for some reason it always triggered just after beating rennala without going to atlus platau or even speaking to ranni, why tf did this happen?
Already triggered the festival, but Jerren is nowhere to be found. Anyone has a clue?

Couldn't they have made the festival only trigger AFTER you kill the duo? Replaying the game and was really confused because I already met the requirements so the entire place was empty and the doors were closed

With no festival, there's a Redmane Knight on the rooftop of the plaza grace, he's wielding a greatsword imbued with flame (even when he's idle). I wasted 2 hours to get the weapon drop, only to find that it's just a common Knight Greatsword, and no flame whatsoever, bummer.
- Anonymous
If you've activated the festival but need to get the enemies back for the items then do Sellen's questline and when Jerren leaves the enemies will return.

Such a weird decision for basically all the enemies to despawn if you reach Altus before the castle. It feels so boring just walking to the Grace with no resistance whatsoever.
- Anonymous
So after reading this and seeing many comments, I'm curious why it matters to so many to get to the castle before the festival. If you can still explore it after, why are people upset that they have to do it later?
I lol'd at the line "It can be reached by crossing the bridge in-front of the "Impassable Greatbridge" site of grace."
I guess they achieved the no spoiler aim? Haha.

There is another way to trigger the radhan festival which is the earliest and the way most people will start the festival by accident. Once you kick alexander out of the first hole in limgrave, if you expire his dialog he will trigger the festival. The way to avoid starting the festival with alexander, because you can still get him out without him triggering the event, just make sure you dont talk to him after getting him out of the hole. As soon as he speaks of the festival he is going to trigger it. If you dont trigger the event, Alexander can be found in the gael tunnel. This way you can explore redmane castle before the radhan festival and get access to the red-hot whetblade, the cookbooks and the ruin greatsword (if you kill the duo boss) before having to fight radhan.

Not sure if my game session was bugged but many of the doors were unopenable and most of the knights weren't inside or outside the keep until after I beat Ragadan. After I killed him it was populated with knights.

This worked for me. Med shield WITH Barricade WA) and some daggers or quick offensive throwables/casts ready. Cast Latenna Ashes when you enter the Duo boss fight. Barricade shield and counter attacks to will finish the job on the Misbegotten cnut really quickly. (fire damage also helps big time). Next, equip your throwables and keep the knight focused on you whilst your summoned ashes picks away at him. Fairly low risk, as far as duo boss fights go. Barricade WA really helps here.

Place frustrated me a lot when I first got to it because it took so long of a travel to get to the first site of grace inside.
You have to sprint passed or clear out the knights, take the teleporter, sprint passed or fight all the soldiers and giant, kill all the bare, deal with the dog and the executioner and then make it through to the site of grace and if you die at any point its hell go go back through. More especially BEFORE you know where the site is m becsuse theres a couple of other enemies you can run into and paths to take.

The Virgin Abductor (if festival isnt active) can be easily cheesed. There is a set of wooden stairs nearby that overlooks the courtyard (kill the guards there first), and if you aggro the Abductor from there it wont be able to figure out how to get up and its head will be poking out through the planks. You will ignore the majority of its attacks.

You can take out the Crucible Knight from outside the arena. if you make your way up to where the Redmane Soldiers/Knights are above the fog door, there's a brazier you can hope onto and pelt the Crucible Knight with some Serpent Arrows. It does take about the full stack to take him down.

Having progressed Ranni's quest (she is sleeping in her chair right now), having Blaidd in Siotra River and Alexander on Rear Gael Tunnel Entrance, what worked for me was
1. Defeat the duo boss fight
2. Go forward to the throne room and talk to Jerren who is sitting on a chair. He talked to me about Iji and Ranni
3. Talk to Iji about Jerren (also learnt some nice info about Ranni). Exhaust dialogue here. Eventually he will tell you to take Blaidd with you
4. Talk to Blaidd on Siotra River telling him the whole story. Exhaust dialogue here too.
5. Teleport Back to the Redmane castle (Chamber outside the plaza)
(after step 4, I went to Alexander in the tunnel and he had left the place, finally)

Activating the Lift isn't enough to trigger the festival, you have to go to a site of grace in the Altus Plateau. The highway junction worked for me, I'd assume any would work.

I can confirm that the Erdtree Gazing Hill site if grace triggers the festival. Went to Redmane and got the site outside the plaza, no festival. Activated Dectus lift and immediately went back to Redmane, no festival still. Activated Erdtree Gazing Hill and went back to Redmane, festival is on!

Just went to get the Blessed Dew talisman fairly early (after Godrick, before any other major content) and getting this ring/resting at the grace did NOT trigger the festival. Just an fyi for anyone that wants that talisman before clearing Redmane pre-festival.
Wish I had known about the doors getting locked before I went to Altus for the perfumer's kit. Had to cheese Radahn just to get the Armorer's Cookbook 4 since I was making a low level build.

For some reason, the game opened the sending gate from the bridge into the castle before i even got to the castle, and also completely removed the misbegotten warrior and crucible knight.

Some additional info for the "re-populated" castle, that is missing above:
After defeating the duo-boss fight, turn aroung and walk back towards the waygate, turn right at the flamethrowers and walk towards the doorway/the room containing the red-hot wetblade (Warning: An Iron Maiden will charge you once you pass the tree from the right). Going up the stairs in that room, will bring you to the walls/upper section again. Immediately after the stairs turn left and follow the patch over some wooden planks to loot another chest (Warning: You will face 5 Soldiers and 1 Knight on your way to the chest.) As i`m a Pepega i forgot which item dropped from the chest ... ^^`Maybe someone who remembers can add the info in the reply.

Dunno how/why, but I never got into the castle, went to Altus, progressed into Ranni's questline far enough that now I'm trying to fight the starscourge, and suddenly there was a portal right beside the bridge site of grace that took me basically directly to the chamberoutside the plaza site of grace.

you can kill crucible knight from outside the arena and only fight Lion Misbegotten Warrior. just walk on top of the roof where you find the Red Hot Whetblade and climb up the wall look North East hes staying above the arena. Use poison/scarlet rod/frost arrows untill the effect kicks in as your normal arrow hits wont deal any dmg. wait untill last tick to safe arrows. repeat if needed. after hes dead you can enter the arena and only fight Lion Misbegotten Warrior.

The two Lion Guardians can harm each other with their attacks. This means that if you are quick enough at dodging you can run around the courtyard and they'll essentially fight each other. Running around like a coward got one of them completely killed and the other down to about 10% health without having to attack them at all. Not elegant, but it's a strategy.

I figured out the other trigger for the festival, if you talk to Blaidd in the underground area he'll say he's stuck and ask you to get help from Seluvis, talk to Seluvis and he'll send you to Sellen, when you talk to Sellen she'll mention you need to kill Radahn to get the stars moving again, at this point the festival triggered for me in the Redmane Castle

At Redmane Castle Plaza were two bosses that you had to fight. After that (no festival still) I went up the stairs after the doorway and talk to Witch-hunter Jerren and he said something like "how did you get here with the gates locked" and then asked me if I liked festivals, i misclicked "No". So I came here to find out if I lost the boss for good. After reading here, I decided to talk to Iji, and he said I should go with blaidd to the festival. And now theres a festival in Redmane Castle Plaza.

I'm not sure who wrote this page and regardless of errors it is appreciated but at some point this page will need a total rewrite. There are incorrect instructions, literally everywhere, including stating left when right on quite a few occasions despite the short page. The order of directions is often questionable, too, and the site of graces location description will likely lead to far more confusion than simply telling them to go from the base of the ladder/shortcut room over wall into courtyard, then run right straight up stairs and follow path past all wooden barricades and past the flamethrowers. Site of graces is in room just past the very visible golden fog door as you run up path. Entire sections and important items are completely left out of the article. Some special enemies like the giant and Iron Virgin should be mentioned to simply avoid as they have no reward or even item drops at all. Cheers to whoever wrote what does exist as, for the most part, it is better than nothing and points out key bits like shortcut and some items.

If you went to Redmane castle to fight Radahn and found only the festival and want the Ruins greatsword: you have to beat Radahn, then go back to the castle to the plaza where they did the festival speech, walk back up to the throne room area and talk to the guy sitting in the chair a few times. Once you have done all the talk options with the guy fast travel back to the bridge grace site and the castle will reset to the dungeon so you can kill the bosses for it.

Blaidd DOES NOT kill anyone here. The festival starts at a certain point in the game in which (almost) every enemy despawns in the castle. I'm pretty sure this is not a bug. Which is why there are no bosses and the castle is pretty unexplorable. They welcomed all the champions and directed them to the plaza. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Blaidd: "Took your sweet time"
I went to get some smithing stone bell bearings in Altus and big wolf boi B started the party without me. Arrived at a ghost Redmane. At least he left me the 2 lion guardians. sadge

Hadn't seen Ranni, only had one half of the medallion and avoided the lift (choosing the alt path through the miners caves nearby) and still seemed to trigger Blaidd's siege.

Hi everyone!, I was worried that I had done something wrong because even though I just got to Caelid, I am able to fight Radahn.
Maybe this will help? I finished Liurnia, have only 1 half of the dectus. I went to Ranni's rise, accepted her quest. Went to Sofria (which I had already complered) and talked to Blaiid. Then went to Redmane castle and was able to warp inside, into the festival, and take on Radahn.
I've done nothing in Ranni's quest aside from getting it, have not been to the Altus plateau, or any volcano (?). 1 half of medal. I honestly have a feeling that what triggers the festival is after receiving ranni's quest and going to talk to blaiid in Sofria, he then spawns at Redmane where you can fight Radahn.

I was able to fight radahn without collecting both medallion halves or going through Ranni's quest line. The medallion-trigger may be replaceable with reaching atlus platue, as i did get there through being abducted to the volcano manor.

Paragraph 9 in the walkthrough needs updated, as that is only the case for going through the castle after the conditions for Radahns festival are met. If you go through the area early, you instead fight a crucible knight and a misbegotten. As for the conditions for activating the festival, some one please god figure that out because every source is different and wrong.

An enemy not listed here is that spinning machine with two flails and mask of a woman (you see two of them in the loading screen)
You can find it past the flamethrower barriers
