Tbh if I remember correctly, to unlock Rashad's fight you can either lit a grace on Altus platou or simply speak to Blaidd in siofra river (speaking to seluvis, sellen or anyone else is optional)
You can talk to her to start at any time. Only 2 things prevent you from starting her quests. The first is your triggering the festival before talking to her. Then you need to finish radahn firstly. The second is you were told by Rogier to visit Ranni. Ranni would be suspicious on you if you had known too much on the first meeting. Then you need to go back to talk with rogier again to continue.
I never triggered the festival on my first play through. I murdered Radahn simply by jumping into his arena from the cliff near the Church of the Plague., dying and respawning near the teleportation portal. A lot of side quest was closed out to me.
It's weird finding out how much information everyone has on every character but I guess it makes sense given that everything used to be fine and dandy until the shattering. Not much was kept secret. Even Gideon "knew" Ranni
@@Mene0 No Jerren knows because his armor set says he was a guest of Caria Manor. There's no real reason to think the Redmanes would have known or interacted with Radahn's family, just Jerren because he lived with them apparently.
My though exactly. The festival should always be there until you defeat Radahn. Afterwards you should be able to trigger the tag team boss fight, since the stars are not alligned anymore
Maybe as Radahn’s power weakens the stars are slowly starting to move? So when they align, it’s the sign to those loyal to him that he’s almost and the point of death, and there’s no point leaving him alive for the purpose of halting the stars.
@@TheAbysswalker If we want to be very much nerd about it: In Astrology is this specific movement, The relashionship between stars and the planet we are in, that is used to translate Destiny. The stars are in a lock orbit, this means that to US they cross the sky, but in reality they don't move in relation to each other so when a Astrologer would try to read the Stars they would Always say the same thing.
Why would weapons forged by the Carian royal blacksmith be strong against Scarlet rot? Why would Jarren even know that? Did Iji Smith weapons for the Redmane knights as well? Or did the Carian family aid Radahn in the war of Aeonia? I suppose that would make sense since Radahn is son to Rannala
I’m pretty sure it’s explicit that Iji forged the weapons for Radahn’s army that they used in the Battle of Aeonia. The question is whether he did that simply out of duty to a member of the royal family or if the Carians were directly in support of Radahn’s actions. If the latter is the case, why did he hold the stars in place and prevent Ranni from realizing her destiny? As to how Iji managed to make weapons resistant to rot, maybe he knew about unalloyed gold? But him knowing about that is a whole other can of worms.
@@jadenkarpoff9158 I wouldn't think Radahn and the house of Caria would be on good terms, since he halted the stars before the shattering, and he is certainly aligned more with his father and the Golden Order. I think that's probably why he waged war against Melania too, since her and Miquella abandoned the Golden Order and forsook their father. That would also put Caria and Miquella on the same side, which could possibly explain how Iji learned of unalloyed gold, though I'm not too sure on that one. Also perhaps Iji simply forged the weapons long before the shattering and the halting of the stars. There was a fairly long period of peace where such weapons could have been amassed and not used.
I don’t think that Radhan is against Ranni but instead against the creatures that are in space and I mean immediately after we kill Radhan a massive meteor crashes into Limgrave
Weapons Iji can smith are said to be some of the finest ever made, like the Frozen Needle in the ruins near him. It's no surprise he can smith something that can be imbued with scarlet rot resistance, as he is the one who forged the weapons used against Malenia and her Cleanrot Knights. Jarren knows that because he's an eccentric prone to errands and he stayed for a while at the Academy of Caria and he also swore allegiance to Radahn, meaning he knew Iji and Ranni and of course, the role of Radahn in being the Starscourge who halts the stars. He is the one who keeps going with the festivals to honor him too, to keep hold on the promise he made when they both were alive and well. The carians DID NOT join the war. When it started, they shut themselves in the academy, Rennala locked away in the Grand Library and the gates blocked with spells. Sources: Frozen Needle descriptions, Eccentric armor set. Dialogues from Iji, Jerren and Thops about the academy. Other descriptions may include the sets of the academy students, their crowns (like Haima's crown that implies some students of the academy were sent out for nomadic studies while others like Olivinus and Karolus had an epitome inside the academy).
@@zenkichihitoyoshi9513 I think you misunderstand the relationship between the Carians and the Academy. They are separate entities, but Rennala at one point was both head of the Carian royal family and the headmaster of the Academy. When Radagon left her, the scholars of the Academy lost faith in her and rebelled, locking her in the library and as far as I can tell Raya Lucaria is in a state of anarchy. They also sent their Cuckoo Knights to march on Caria Manor, but their forces were demolished in the traps surrounding it. Basically, the Academy didn’t participate in the shattering, but the royal family and its servants did.
Does this indicate that Ranni was working with Radahn in addition to Rykard, or was Iji forging weapons for his men simply as part of his duty for the Carian royal family?
@@khangle6872 That doesn’t inherently mean much. He’s holding the stars in place preventing Ranni from achieving her destiny, and it seems like he idolizes his father Radagon and Godfrey more than his mother considering the golden lion iconography on his armor and his red plume. The main evidence in favor of him still being on their side is Jerren’s friendly attitude towards Ranni and the fact that he learned and uses magic like his siblings.
Radahn is more keen with the golden order since he idolizes Radagon and Godfrey. Radahn holds the stars back to preserve the Carian family's fate but maybe also the Golden Order's fate from continuing. Ranni however doesn't like the golden order so I don't think they work together. Rykard also hates the Golden Order. It is more likely Rykard and Ranni worked together to achieve the same goal through killing Godwyn with the Black Knife plot. As for Iji, I think he simply does his job of serving the Carian family since he served Ranni.
@@mrduck_03art23 You should give madluigi's YT video a watch on the subject. He has some good points regarding Radahn's relationship with his other two siblings.
I think by "stars" it means more of the stellar bodies that would actually land on earth, like the comets, meteoroids and all the cometbeasts that come from the stars.
These replies don't say much, you can acess the redmane castle by heading to the right after stumbling opon the gate of the castle, from there you will find a path that eventually leads to a ladder which grants acess to the castle's roof tops
You need to go to Redmane Castle early game before triggering the Radahn festival and defeat the Misbegotten Warrior + Crucible Knight duo boss. If you're aiming to get this, make sure not to go to the Altus Plateau area early since that is one of the triggers for the Radahn festival.
@@StratekYT What triggers the festival? I'm making a video of all the quests, and I'm planning to run through Limgrave as normal, clear Raya Lucaria and then do as much of Ranni's quest as possible before moving onto Caelid.
@@switchbox239 There are a few ways to trigger the festival. Probably the easiest way is to get both halves of the Dectus medallion and rest at a grace in the Altus Plateau. I believe resting at any grace in Altus Plateau will work for this so you could try going through the Ruin-Strewn Precipice or using the Raya Lucaria Academy iron virgin to get to trigger the festival. The other two methods involve going through Ranni's questline before reaching the Altus Plateau. After joining her service you can talk to the following NPC's in this order to trigger the festival: 1) Blaidd (Siofra River) > Seluvis > Sellen > Blaidd 2) Blaidd (Siofra River) > Jerren > Iji > Blaidd After that, you should be able to head to Redmane Castle and see the festivities :)
Imamgine being a good designer director and giving this dialogue without convoluted route in an open world. Picture this, do limgrave, then go to liurnia, go left coast, talk to iji, then stop exploring anything else, go back to limgrave, go to cealid against any game advise, fight early a duo bossfight that was only recently patched to work well in solo plays, talk to Jerren have this dialogue, know absolutely nothing about who the fuck is Ranni since you have to stop exploring liurnia to get this dialogue.
Now imagine a game, really linear where you get every dialogues and loot in the first playthrough, you would have to make an effort to miss anything since everything is marked when you get close to it and you finish the game easily feelling like you watched a movie for $60 and never touch it again.
Wait, if Jerren gives you the info on how to proceed with Ranni's questline, does that mean you don't need to talk to Selvus and Sellen?
Yeah, this is just one of the paths you can take to advance Ranni's questline.
You don’t need to talk to anyone but Ranni past when she asks you to talk to her three ghosts.
After talking to ranni, you can just go to the altus plateau and that can trigger the festival too, so talking to everyone is pretty optional.

You can use a teleporter right before the bridge to the fortress. It needs to be activated tho, I dont remember how

you have to reach Altus plateau and rest at a site of grace, that triggers the festival.
I also believe the festival is triggered when you speak to Ranni in her tower and initiate her quest.
