What to Do After Beating Rennala
Respec is unlocked. This route turns that freedom into a clean mid-game plan: lock a build, gear up, then prepare for the Starscourge Radahn festival.
1. Spend a Larval Tear (If You Need To)
If your stats no longer match your weapon, use the respec / Larval Tears guide immediately. Commit toward bleed, strength, or faith before farming Caelid.
2. Mid-Game Power Targets
| Goal | Target before Radahn |
|---|---|
| Level | ~40–70 (higher is safer) |
| Weapon | +8 to +12 regular / +4 to +5 somber |
| Vigor | Around 30–40+ |
| Spirit ash | One upgraded ash for festival distraction |
| Flasks | Keep Seeds and Tears current |

3. Gear Pass Before Caelid
- Refresh Ash of War affinity to match your new stats.
- Slot stamina / survivability talismans.
- Push your main weapon with the smithing stones guide.
- Upgrade one spirit ash — festival fights reward summons heavily.
4. Route Toward Radahn
- Travel to Caelid / Redmane Castle when ready — follow the Caelid survival guide for scarlet rot prep.
- Grab map fragments on the road so you do not get lost in the wastes.
- Start the Radahn Festival at Redmane Castle when the event is available.
- Use the full Starscourge Radahn guide for summon timing and meteor dodges.
Optional Detours
- Liurnia leftovers: caves, flasks, and Larval Tears you skipped on the first pass.
- Rune top-ups: use the rune farming guide if Caelid feels underleveled.
- Ranni quest hooks: Radahn is a major progress gate — see the Ranni questline guide.
