TheElden Ring Freyja questinShadow of the Erdtreeis one of the shorter stories in the expansion but it could be more straightforward. Depending on how you explore the realm of shadow, it’s easy to miss a step and lose track of this warrior entirely. Ahem.

Freyja’s storyline is made more tricky in that she stays put for quite a while and then moves when a specific event happens. Of course, if you’re not aware of the significance of that event, it’s easy to rush ahead and mess up the quest. So, with that in mind, learn from my mistakes as I guide you through the correct way to complete the Freyja quest in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Just be aware of potentialspoilerspast this point.

Elden Ring Freyja quest

Once you make your way through Belurat, Tower Settlement, you’ll find Freyja’s summon sign outside the boss room. Though this seems to be an optional step, you’ll be rewarded with a bit of extra dialogue when you return to speak to her at the Three-Path Cross afterwards.

Freyja will stay where she is until you approach the Shadow Keep, over on the east side of the map in Scadu Altus. When you get the notification that the great rune is broken and the curse dispelled, you’ll be able to continue with the next step of her quest.

Return to Freyja and she’ll explain that she’s leaving to uncover the truth of a vow.

Elden Ring Freyja quest

Now it’s time to venture into the imposing Shadow Keep. There are two ways to get into the castle—you can either head in through the front door, though there’s a soldier camp right outside. Alternatively, you can make your way up from the south, through Moorth Ruins, and past the cathedral where you findCount Ymir—take the path to the northwest of theChurch District Highroadsite of grace and enter the keep through the tunnel.

If you choose to go in through the front door, you’ll be confronted pretty quickly with theGolden Hippopotamusboss. Luckily, Freyja’s summon sign is outside the boss room to lend a hand, as well as the Hornsent, though this also seems to be an optional step in her quest.

If you happen to stumble into the Shadow Keep before returning to Freyja at her original location and speaking to her, she’ll move straight to the location detailed below, and her summon sign won’t appear here.

If you’ve progressedAnsbach’s questto the point where he tells you he’s scared of Miquella when you speak to him after the great rune is broken, you can now find him in the Specimen Storehouse.

Talk to Ansbach and you’ll get the option to tell him about Freyja, prompting some interesting dialogue. He’ll give you the item,Letter for Freyjato pass on to her.

A quick note if you’re doingLeda’s quest: you can safely aid her in fighting Ansbach because the letter will be one of the items he drops—just be aware that this will end Ansbach’s quest here if you do. Give Freyja the letter and she’ll give you some significant story info and reward you with theGolden Lion Shield.

Final encounter with Freyja in Enir Ilim

Elden Ring Freyja quest

You’ll come up against Freyja in the confrontation right before the final boss fight, which gives additional context to her character. Once the fight is over, you’ll findFreyja’s GreatswordandFreyja’s Armorset on her body.

If you don’t give Freyja the letter, either because you choose not to or you didn’t meet Ansbach in time, you technically won’t be able to finish the quest. If you return to her location in the storehouse after the confrontation where you would’ve fought her before the final boss, you’ll find her weapon and armor set.

Both scenarios reward you with Freyja’s greatsword and armor. In both cases, you can loot the set from her corpse, but the key difference is you won’t get the Golden Lion Shield without the letter.
