Redmane Freyja is a new NPC added with the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC of Elden Ring. Freyja was a loyal and courageous soldier for the Redmane army operated by General Radahn. Follow her quest through the Realm of Shadows, where you’ll acquire her armor and greatsword. Read on to find out Redmane Freyja’s location, where you can find her every step of the way, and what choices yield the best results.

Table of Contents¶

If you want to jump straight to a specific meeting, or perhaps see what rewards you get from finishing this Questline, check out the following table:

First Meeting - Three-Path Cross, Gravesite Plain¶

You’ll start the DLC at the Gravesite Plain site of Grace at the southwest of the map (Map Marker). Your first encounter with Freyja is at the Three-Path Cross site of Grace (Map Marker). From the first Grace, head east until you find a path, and follow that north through the Scorched Ruins (Map Marker) until you get near the Ellac Greatbridge to your east. The Three-Path Cross site of Grace will be near the crossroad west of the bridge.

At the Grace, you’ll find the Hornsent NPC who has their own quest (Hornsent Quest Guide) and Redmane Freyja who will be clad in golden armor (Map Marker). Speak to Freyja, who already knew you were coming, thanks to Leda telling her in advance. You’ll learn about her relationship with General Radahn before she tells you to talk to Hornsent, who is standing beside her. He’ll provide you with a map that will show you the locations of the Miquella Crosses in the Gravesite Plain region. One of these will lead you to Belurat, Tower of Settlement (Map Marker), where you’ll have your next encounter.

Second Meeting - Stagefront Site of Grace, Belurat, Tower of Settlement¶

Belurat, Tower of Settlement is a legacy dungeon situated to the west of the Three-Path Cross site of Grace and can be reached by following the western path. As you approach the entrance to the dungeon, you’ll meet two new NPCs, Moore (Map Marker) and Sir Ansbach (Map Marker), who both have their own quests. Make your way through the dungeon until you reach the Stagefront site of Grace (Map Marker), and prepare for a boss fight against the Divine Beast Dancing Lion (Map Marker). Before you enter the boss arena, interact with the golden summon sign near the door to summon Freyja who will assist you against the boss. After you’ve defeated the boss with Freyja summoned, head back to the Three-Path Cross site of Grace, and speak to her again and exhaust her dialogue regarding her broken armor and Hornsent while also unveiling some of her past about her time in the Redmane.

Third Meeting - Main Gate, Shadowkeep¶

When you’re ready to proceed with the quest, head to Shadowkeep (Map Marker) which can be accessed by heading through Castle Ensis (Map Marker) to the northeast and following the path past the Highroad Cross site of Grace (Map Marker) to the north. Once you’ve gone through the main gate to the keep, use the nearby elevator to find a giant statue of Marika with a Golden Hippopotamus (Map Marker) and a summon sign to summon Freyja. Once the hippo is defeated while being aided by Freyja, continue through the dungeon.

Final Meeting - Specimen Storehouse, Seventh Floor, Shadowkeep¶

A while later, you’ll be in the Specimen Storehouse where you’ll need to make your way to the top. Near the Storehouse, Seventh Floor site of Grace (Map Marker), you’ll find Freyja looking at some scriptures by the fireplace (Map Marker). Speak to her and exhaust her dialogue to find out that she needs help from Sir Ansbach. She won’t tell you anything else until you talk to Sir Ansbach, so go to the Storehouse, First Floor site of Grace (Map Marker), Talk to Sir Ansbach (Map Marker) about Freyja and exhaust the rest of his dialogue before handing over the Secret Rite Scroll to him, which you can find on a desk accessed by heading outside to the balcony at the Storehouse, Fourth Floor site of Grace (Map Marker). The scroll will be in the next room, on a desk (Map Marker).

After handing over the scroll, rest at a site of Grace and return to him to obtain the Letter to Freyja. Now head back to Freyja on the seventh floor of the Specimen Storehouse, but before you speak to her, read on.

Give Freyja the Letter or Not?¶

Handing over the letter to Freyja will change the outcome of the quest, so before you do, read what to expect below.

• Hand over the letter to Freyja: Handing over the letter to Freyja will continue her quest and reward you with the Golden Lion Shield before she moves on from Shadowkeep. This choice will maximize the rewards you get at the end of the quest, but it will make a difficult battle later on even more difficult.

• Keep the letter: This choice will stop Freyja’s quest until you defeat the final boss of the DLC where you can come back here to get the Golden Lion Shield.

If you choose to hand over the letter, which we recommend, then Freyja will move on to Enir-Ilim where you’ll have to fight her among her allies in the Leda and Allies battle (Map Marker) just past the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom site of Grace (Map Marker). Defeating them and her will reward you with their armor sets and weapons. That’s it for Redmane Freyja’s quest, but there are still other NPC quests to complete such as Thiollier, Hornsent, Leda, Moore, Dane, Count Ymir, and Sir Ansbach.
