Quest Objectives |

|
Speak to Redmane Freyja near the Three-Path Cross Site of Grace to begin her questline. You can easily find her location in the Gravesite Plain by following the main path north of the Scorched Ruins.
Exhaust Freyja's dialogue and ask her about what she intends to look into to progress her and Sir Ansbach's questlines.

Freyja can be found next as a gold summon to assist you on the Divine Beast Dancing Lion boss fight.

Return to Freyja at the Three-Path Cross and you'll have the option to ask about the damage on her helm. She will answer by giving information about her past as a Redmane.
After exhausting Hornsent's dialogue, continue following the road north until you reach the Shadow Keep. As you get closer to its gates, a message will appear on your screen saying:
"Somewhere a great rune has broken. And so too, a powerful charm." |
This message references Miquella finally shedding his Great Rune (you'll find it in the possession of the Scadutree Avatar). When this triggers, NPC questlines will advance, so make sure to speak to everyone before exploring the Shadow Keep and the rest of Scadu Altus.
Somewhere a Great Rune has Broken Meaning
The next step is to find Freyja on the seventh floor. If you're also set to complete Ansbach's questline, it is important that this step is not skipped as it may lock you out of some of Ansbach's interactions.
1 | ![]() From the Storehouse, Fourth Floor site of grace, exit west, then turn left. |
---|---|
2 | ![]() Follow this path until you get past two bat enemies. |
3 | ![]() Immediately after passing by the bat enemies, turn left to go back inside the keep. Head to the other side of the room until you see stairs leading to the floor above. |
4 | ![]() Go up the three staircases and you will find a room with a site of grace right in front of you. Freyja will also be inside, just past the site of grace |
Exhaust Freyja's dialogue here to continue her questline.
Next, you must find the Secret Rite Scroll that must be given to Sir Ansbach in the Shadow Keep.
This item can be found near the Storehouse, Fourth Floor Site of Grace after heading outside and taking a staircase that goes back down inside the Storehouse.
These two actions must be done in order or at the same time.
First, find Ansbach near the back of the Storehouse's first floor and tell him about Freya's situation. After the dialogue, you can then hand the Secret Rite Scroll over to Ansbach, if you already have it.
Rest at a Site of Grace to refresh the world, then go back to Ansbach to receive the key item Letter for Freyja.
If you are in the middle of doing Ansbach's NPC quest, do not hand the Secret Rite Scroll over to him before telling her about Freyja's situation, or else he will disappear from his position after the next area reload and you will be unable to progress Freyja's quest.
The order of events should be:
Sir Ansbach Questline and Location
Go back to the Storehouse's seventh floor to hand over Ansbach's letter to Freyja, and she will reward you with the Golden Lion Shield. After resting at a Site of Grace, Freyja will disappear from her spot.
Once she's gone, return to Ansbach in the Storehouse's first floor and convey Freyja's words to him to learn more about Freyja.
If you don't give the Letter to Freyja, she will die by the Storehouse, Seventh Floor site of grace after you burn the Sealing Tree. You will be able to obtain Freyja's Helm, Freyja's Armor, Freyja's Gauntlets, Freyja's Greaves, and Freyja's Greatsword from her corpse.
Take note that if you choose to deliver the letter, you can still get these items after finishing Step 7. It's better to deliver the letter so you can get all the possible items from Frejya's questline, including the Golden Lion Shield.
After burning the Sealing Tree and teleporting to Enir-Ilim, you will eventually reach the Cleansing Chamber Anteroom and be forced to interact with Leda's red summoning sign to enter a battle between hostile and friendly NPCs.
