Redmane Freyja’s quest is heavily tied to Ansbach’s quest in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. She was one of Radahn’s soldiers and came to the Shadow Realm by following Kind Miquella’s path, just like everyone else.

Upon completing a few steps in her quest, you can obtain the Golden Lion Shield in Elden Ring. It’s a big shield that resembles a fierce lion's head. According to the item description, it is only awarded to certain members of Radahn’s personal guard.

How To Get The Golden Lion Shield In Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree

Upon entering the Land of Shadow and obtaining the Gravesite Plain Map Fragment in Elden Ring SOTE, go north to the Scorched Ruins and then run northwest past the Furnace Golem to find the Three-Path Cross Site of Lost Grace. There, you will find Freyja. Exhaust her dialogue, then head west to the Main Gate Cross Site of Grace and speak with Ansbach.

The next step is to head to the Shadow Keep and explore the legacy dungeon until you stumble upon Ansbach on the first floor and Redmane Freyja on the seventh floor of the Specimen Storehouse.

Speak with Freyja, who is contemplating a stone tablet and doesn’t seem to understand a word. She hints that maybe Ansbach can make sense of this writing but doesn’t know where he is. To help Freyja, you need to locate the Secret Rite Scroll and give it to Ansbach so he can leave a letter for Freyja.

Where To Find The Secret Rite Scroll In Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree

Fast-travel to the Storehouse, Fourth Floor Site of Grace in the Shadow Keep and head out through the western arch. Go left to find two flaming boats and a Fire Knight on top of the stairs. Run past him and then go down the stairs to the left to eventually reach a small room. Turn right to find the Secret Rite Scroll on the table.

Go to Ansbach on the first floor and mention Freyja’s dilemma, then give him the Secret Rite Scroll. Exhaust his dialogue and he should give the Letter for Freyja item. If he didn’t, reload the area and try speaking with Ansbach again to obtain the letter.
