Freyja is a loyal warrior of General Radahn and a new NPC introduced by the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. She is one of the pilgrims following in the footsteps of Miquella, and is part of the main quest - this means that her quest can be canceled if you haven't managed to complete it before burning the small Scadutree in Church of the Bud. On this page, we have described Freyja's quest and where to meet her for the first time.

The majority of Freyja's quest takes place in Shadow Keep, the second story dungeon of the expansion. You'll find the NPC on the seventh floor of Storehouse, right next to the Storehouse, Seventh Floor site of grace. Talk to her and exhaust all of the dialogue options - she will mention Ansbach.
Your next task will be to find Ansbach. Fortunately, you won't have to venture far - the hero in question is on the ground floor of the Storehouse, in the back area of the building. Interact with him and mention Freyja, then use up all of the dialogue options.

To unlock the next phase of Freyja's quest, you need to make progress in the task received from Ansbach - you need to find the Secret Rite Scroll. The item is also found in Shadow Keep - make your way to Storehouse, Fourth Floor site of grace. From the site, go outside through the large open window frame opposite it and follow the linear path. At the site where you're attacked by bats, look left - you'll see stairs leading down. Follow them, then enter the next room - the Secret Rite Scroll is inside. Deliver it to Ansbach and once again exhaust all of the dialogue options.
Warning - before you bring the scroll to Ansbach, you first need to find Freyja again and tell her about it. Otherwise, Ansbach will leave the keep grounds right after receiving the scroll, which will make you unable to continue with Freyja's questline.
After delivering the scroll to Ansbach, rest at a site of grace and talk to Ansbach again - he will give you a letter for Freyja. Bring it to her and exhaust all of the dialogue options - Freyja will give you the Golden Lion Shield, thus concluding the quest. You can now return to Ansbach and tell him of Freyja's reaction to the letter to continue with his task.
Final meeting with Freyja
If you've completed Freyja's task, you'll meet her again in the final dungeon of the expansion - Enir - Illim - you reach it after burning the Scadutree in Church of the Bud. Freyja will be one of the participants of a large battle ensuing at the end of the dungeon. If you have completed her quest, she will be hostile to you, with the only option to kill her if you want to continue to the final boss of the expansion. If you skipped her quest, Freyja won't participate in the battle.
After the battle concludes, search the bodies of the pilgrims. From Freyja's corpse you can collect Freyja's Set and Freyja's Greatsword. If for some reason you've failed the task, you can return to the Sixth floor of the Shadow Keep to find Freyja's corpse and collect the same items.
