Redmane Freyja rests next to another NPC, Hornsent, at the Three-way cross – place of grace. You will find this place of grace at the end of the main street in Gravesite levelbefore branching off into the road west to Belurat Castle, the road north to the lake, and the road east to Ensis Castle. (Here you will also find the first of Miquell’s crosses.)
Here, talk to Redmane Freyja until she starts repeating her dialogue, then continue through Belurat Castle. While you’re inside, you can summon Redmane Freyja for the Divine Beast Dancing Lion boss fight at the top of the castle, but it’s not necessary to complete her quest.
Before you leave Gravesite Plain, make sure you find and talk to another NPC. Sir Ansbachat the main gate cross of grace. You will need it later to help Freyja.

Once you have killed the divine beast, the dancing lion, you will not encounter Redmane Freyja again for quite a while. Continue through the Shadow Realm until you are near Shadow Fortress. When you do this, you will receive a notification that the The Great Rune is broken. This is what is supposed to happen – you haven’t done anything wrong here – and will set some of the NPCs on a new path.
If the Great Rune breaks, it is a good idea to go back and talk to all NPCs You’ve met so far to ensure you advance her questlines and hear her new dialogue. This seems unnecessary for Redmane Freyja, assuming you spoke to her earlier in the DLC. You will get additional context and dialogue from her, though, so it’s best to visit her before moving on.
Once you have finished your world tour through the NPCs, go to the Shadow Fortress and make your way through the dungeon. Towards the end you will meet Freyja at the Place of Mercy on the seventh floor of the sample storage. She will be behind the Place of Mercy, crouched down and looking for information on General Radahn.
Talk to Freyja and use all the new dialogues. She will not be in a conversational mood here and will grumble to herself that she needs to talk to Sir Ansbach.
Freyja’s letter received from Sir Ansbach

You should have already spoken to Sir Ansbach in Gravesite Plain before the Great Rune broke. If you spoke to him again after the Great Rune, he was already on his way to Shadow Keep before you arrived. If not, just speak to him again and rest.
You can find Sir Ansbach on the first floor of the sample storagealthough he is not as conveniently located as Redmane Freyja. From the Place of Mercy on the first floor, go around the giant beast, up the stairs to your left, past the bookshelves and down the stairs to your right into a small room. You will find Sir Ansbach in the far corner reading a book.
Talk to Freyja upstairs and then go down to Ansbach and tell him of her plight. Exhaust his dialogue and then rest again. Return to Sir Ansbach and he will give you the “Letter for Freyja.” Return to Freyja on the seventh floor and give her Ansbach’s letter. Keep talking to her until she runs out of dialogue and gives you the Golden Lion Shield.
If you rest again, it should go away.
You can now return to Sir Ansbach to tell him about Freyja’s reaction to his letter and continue his quest line.
How to complete Redmane Freyja’s quest
As soon as you give Freyja Ansbach’s letter and talk to her, you have effectively completed her task. However, she will be found again near the at the very end of the DLC — along with a few other familiar faces. Just follow the main path and you’ll learn the conclusion of their story before reaching the final boss.
