Can You Skip Rellana in Shadow of the Erdtree?
Players looking to skipRellana, Twin Moon Knight, and head into Scadu Altus can do so very early inShadow of the Erdtree.It is true that the game’s ‘main path’ is designed to allow you into the tougher region after passing the twirling skill-wall of a boss thatRellanaso clearly is. The exit to her arena is literally the official entrance to Scadu Altus. But, as anyone who has played a FromSoftware game will tell you, they sure love hiding secret pathways throughout the game. And if they are there, they are meant to be used. So, the answer isYES, you can skip Rellana inShadow of the Erdtree.
How to Skip Rellana and Enter Scadu Altus Early
The first step to skipping Rellana is toreach the Castle Front site of Gracenear Castle Ensis. It may worry players to get this close to Rellana, but worry not, this is as close as we get. From Castle Front, follow these steps:
You are now in theScadu Altus. Free to exit the Fort of Reprimand and explore as you see fit. There are a number of powerful items in the region, though you may want to pick up theScadu Altus map fragmentbefore doing anything else. Be careful as you exit the rock tunnel that leads in and out of the fort grounds, as there is a massive Ghostflame Dragon as soon as you exit. However, if you decide to take it down, you will get one ofShadow of the Erdtree’s few Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones, which could be helpful. You should return to face Rellana eventually, asRellana’s Twin Blade’sare extremely useful in the early game.
