Elden Ring: Exploring Redmane Castle (2024)

In today's episode of "Things You Might Have Missed in Elden Ring," we'll delve into the mysteries of Redmane Castle. Our journey will take us through the castle's intricate layout, discovering new recipes, weapons, wet blades for applying fire and fire arts affinities to weapons, and encountering some interesting bosses. Of course, as a novice, you can buy cheap Elden Ring Runes through MMOexp in exchange for equipment items to get a good start. Let's embark on this adventure and explore Redmane Castle step by step.

Approaching Redmane Castle

As you traverse the bridge leading to Redmane Castle, you’ll notice two portals, one at the start and another at the end. To ensure we explore the castle thoroughly and in a logical order, we’ll avoid using these portals for now. Instead, proceed to the other end of the bridge.

Scenario Based on Quest Progression

1. No Progress in Blaidd’s Questline: If you haven't been progressing Blaidd's questline, expect to face several knights and trebuchets firing at you on the bridge.

2. Progressed Blaidd’s Questline: If you have advanced Blaidd's questline to the point where he mentions meeting you at the Tournament of Champions in Redmane Castle, the guards will be absent. This is likely because the tournament is about to start, and the guards have been called back to the keep to prepare.

Exploring the Castle’s Exterior

Without the threat of guards, you can freely loot the area. Here are some key items you can find:

· Smithing Stone [3]: Found around the back of the tower.

· Smithing Stone [6]: After climbing the cliff and jumping onto the tower.

Continue up the cliffs around the side of the castle, dealing with any bats you encounter. Jump over the ledge (careful not to fall) to reach the courtyard at the back. Here, you’ll find a scarab that drops the Flaming Strike Ash of War.

Inside the Castle

Now that we've cleared the exterior, let's move inside:

1. Cookbook and Smithing Stones: Enter the room and grab the Armorer’s Cookbook [5] and Smithing Stone [5]. Kill the enemies here and unlock the door at the top of the stairs, which leads back to the courtyard.

2. Ladder and Sandbags: Climb the ladder and jump onto the sandbags to hop over the wall. This allows you to access normally closed-off areas.

Navigating the Courtyard

Head into the courtyard where defenses are unmanned:

· Gesture Polite Bow: Interact with the Finger Maiden to unlock this gesture.

· Smithing Stone [4]: Located near the stairs.

· Lions Encounter: Deal with the two giant lions below. They drop Somber Smithing Stone [4], Beast Blood, and Old Fangs.

Preparing for the Boss Fight

Before facing the main boss, General Radahn, ensure you have looted the following:

· Smithing Stone [6]: Found at the end of the church.

· Gesture from Jerren: Speak to him for a new gesture.

Facing General Radahn

This unique boss fight allows you to continually summon NPC allies to aid you. Use these summons strategically, as they are intended to help you defeat Radahn. After the fight, you will receive Radahn's Great Rune and the Remembrance of the Star Scourge.

Post-Boss Exploration

After defeating Radahn, several doors in Redmane Castle will open:

1. War-Dead Catacombs: A high-level area not advisable to tackle immediately, but good for mid-game rune farming.

2. Return to Jerren: Exhaust his dialogue to progress his questline.

Final Loot Sweep

Revisit areas in the castle to gather any missed loot:

· Red-Hot Wetblade: Located northwest, after dealing with the Abductor Virgin enemy.

· Smithing Stones [6], [5], [3]: Found in various chests and corpses throughout the castle.

· Armorer’s Cookbook [4]: In a building in the courtyard.

Optional Boss Fight

Finally, a boss room will appear where you fought Radahn. This duo fight involves a Misbegotten Warrior and a Crucible Knight. Winning this fight rewards you with the Ruins Greatsword and additional runes.
