While playing Elden Ring, you'll need to start a Festival to fight Radahn. Now, you might be wondering, what is this festival all about?

Here's the easiest way to start a festival in Elden Ring.

How to start the Ladhan Festival in the Elden Ring

Activating the Grand Rift of Dectus allows the Ladan Festival to begin. This is the best way, but you can also complete Ranni's quest. To give you the fastest access, in this guide let's review how to ground lift Dekutus.

• Fast travel to Grace's East Raya Lucaria Ruins and continue north on the main road.
• Arrive at Dectus Grand Lift. Both of his Dectus medallions are required to activate it.

1. The Left Dectus Medallion can be found in Fort Haight. The Dectus Medallion on the right is in Fort Pharos.

• After activating the lift, fast travel to the Impassable Greatbridge Site of Grace.
• Use the portal next to it.
• Once inside Redmayne Castle, head north. There should be no enemies here.
• Pass Blaidd and you'll hear an NPC announcing the festival.
• Talk to him and when asked if you're ready to fight Ladhan, select "Ready".

He announces the start of the Ladhan Festival.

Access to Ladan

After talking to the NPC above, head north. Inside the church, turn right and take the elevator down. Once you've moved down, use the portal to reach an area where you can fight Ladan.
