Notes

  • Victory awards Radahn’s Great Rune and Remembrance of the Starscourge. Enia offers Starscourge Greatsword or Lion Greatbow for the remembrance.
  • The festival must be active. Reaching and resting in Altus or advancing Ranni’s investigation are ways to trigger it.
  • Speak to Jerren, pass through the chapel and use the shore sending gate. The ordinary Redmane plaza duo is a different encounter.
  • Gold signs throughout the arena call festival allies. More signs can become available after allies fall, so look for replacements when you have room.
  • The opening gravity arrows punish a stationary summon or flask animation. Keep watching Radahn while using signs.
  • When he vanishes into the sky, prepare for the meteor return and keep moving into open space.
  • Later floating rocks can remain a threat while you fight the swords. Keep the projectiles in view before committing to a long attack.
  • Winning opens the starfall crater near Fort Haight, giving the normal route into Nokron.
  • Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood are both required for entering the Realm of Shadow.
  • Return to Jerren afterward and finish his dialogue to restore Redmane Castle’s ordinary state when you reload.
