  • If you have a lot of runes, consider bringing a Sacrificial Twig to the Divine Tower of Caelid to avoid losing them.
  • Radahn's Great Rune
  • Remembrance of the Starscourge
  • Radahn's Lion armor set (purchasable)
  • Access to purchase infinite Radahn Spears Great Arrows
  • Choice between the Lion Great Bow or swords (via Remembrance)
