If you are looking to play Elden Ring’s DLC: Shadow of the Erdtree, killing Radahn is one of the main requirements for it.
In this guide I will take you into the fastest way to reach Radahn if you are starting a New Game and want to finish this requirement quite quickly.
Step 1: Rest at the Gatefront Site of Grace
The Gatefront Grace is where you meet Melina, who will help you level up and reach the Roundtable Hold for further progress in Varre’s quest, so you need that one.
Step 2: Continue Going North Until You Reach Stormhill Shack Site of Grace
You can’t miss this one, as there are some wolves roaming around it. Just activate the Grace, as it is the guiding point for what’s next.
Step 3: Continue North Passing through the Bridge Until You Reach the Ledge
Continue going north along the road until you reach a bridge with an NPC. Keep going until you see a ledge to the west where you can drop down and continue on your way.
Step 4: Continue Until You Reach Liurnia of the Lakes
Continue along the path until you reach Liurnia of the Lakes and rest at the Site of Grace there.
Step 5: Continue North Through the Lakes
Continue through the lakes until you reach the Fallen Ruins of the Lake Site of Grace.
Step 6: Continue Heading North
Continue heading north until you reach The Ravine. Light up the Site of Grace there and continue through the valley.
Step 7: Go Through The Veiled Village
You will reach the Ravine-Veiled Village. Light up the Site of Grace there and get ready for the run up to the top of the tower.
Go back from the Site of Grace and head up using the ladder to the left. Continue going up and through the green-lit cave. Keep ascending, taking the ladders and elevators along the way, until you reach the spot below with the first wooden stairs you will encounter.
Take the second opening to the left and continue until you reach the Ruin-Strewn Precipice. Keep going up all the way. It’s easy to get lost here, but continue ascending until you reach the Outlook Site of Grace. Get ready for a boss fight there.
Step 8: Defeat Magma Wyrm Makar:
Next, you will have to fight Magma Wyrm Makar, which is a fairly easy fight, especially if you are on New Game+. You just need one summon to tank it for you and use whatever ranged attack you prefer to take it down. The area is vast, so you have plenty of room to maneuver. After defeating Makar, head to the elevator to arrive at the Altus Plateau. Just arriving there is enough, but you can light up the Site of Grace there first before leaving.
Step 9: It is Time to Defeat Radahn:
It is time now to head to Redmane Castle in Caelid to fight Radahn. To begin, go back to the Stormhill Shack Site of Grace and head all the way east until you reach the first Site of Grace in Caelid, Rotview Balcony.
From here, head southeast to Redmane Castle. You can take the long main road, but be careful as it’s quite a journey. Once you arrive, and before crossing the bridge, you will find a Site of Grace with a portal next to it. Use the portal to enter the castle.
From there, light up the Site of Grace, go inside, and speak with the announcer. Then head on to fight Radahn. He isn’t really tough if you know what to do. You can summon help inside the arena, and even if you die, kite him and you can summon them again. Killing him is half of what you need to do to access Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree.
