How to find Dane in Shadow of the Erdtree
The first meeting with Dane will take place near the save point “Murt's Ruins”. When interacting with him, he will be silent.
In order to move the storyline with Dane from a dead point, you need to move to the “Cross by the Road” teleport. Nearby you will find a note Message from the Monk and the gesture “May the best win.”
Go back to the Murtagh Ruins and perform the gesture right next to Dane. After that, you will have to fight him.
After the battle, you will return to the ordinary world and near the teleportation point you will find two items: the weapon “Dry Leaf Technique” and Dane's hat. In this same place, you can read the message left for you by the monk.
Next meeting with Dane
Defeat Messmer and take Lucina
In order to advance the storyline of Dane Dry Leaf, as well as some other characters, you need to find and kill Messmer the Impaler.
You can learn more about how to find him in the Shadow Haven location in this article. After defeating the boss, you will receive the Messmera's Luchina, which is needed for the next step.
Find Romina, Saint of Flower Buds
The next boss, Romina, can be found in the location Ruins of the Ancient Monastery of Rauch.
The first grace point to start from is the “Small Tower at the Viaduct”. Exit the tower and head east, where you will soon see the entrance to the ruins on the right. Continue deeper into the ruins until you see a huge door, turn left from it and gallop on.
Next you will see a descent down, jump and ride to the southeast along a small tunnel. After entering the large hall, turn right and enter the next part of the ruins, where in the northwest you will again see a descent down.
Jump and gallop in the northwest direction as well, until you get outside, and there you will see another rest point “Ruins of Rauch, East”.
Next to this grace, you can find Dane's Message, which says that he has found a secret tree blocking the way to Enir-Ilim. In order to burn it, you need the Messmera Torch.
Also, if you follow a little further east from this place, behind the column you will see Ashes of War: Vortex of Dry Leaves. It can be used to enhance melee weapons.
From Grace, head forward southwest, then turn right and jump down to the next bridge. Follow forward and turn left where the Furnace Giant is. Continue southeast until you see the next teleporter, “Ruins of Rauch's Abode, West.”
Near this point there is an entrance to the ruins. Follow inside and go up the stairs, where you will soon emerge into a large hall with columns. Turn left and follow straight ahead to the lift, which will take you outside.
Next, ride to the northwest, where the entrance to the next ruins is. In the middle of the hall you will see a huge staircase, follow it until you find another point “Temple of Flower Buds, Main Entrance”. Go into the fog and fight Romina. Before the fight with her, you can summon Dane using the sign.
Defeat Romina and follow the opened exit. After climbing the stairs, you will see the secret tree that Dane Dry Leaf wrote about, and you will need Messmer's Luchina to set it on fire.
After the tree is burned, you will be transferred to the Enir-Ilim location, where the final boss will be.
The final battle with Leda and allies
Having reached Enir-Ilim, you need to get to the point “Hallway of the Chamber of Purification”. How to get to this grace you can find out here.
As soon as you reach the Chamber, Leda will speak to you and challenge you to a duel. You will have to fight her and all her allies in turn, which also includes Dane Dry Leaf.
You will also be able to summon your allies: Tiolie, Ansbach or Nataan, if Ansbach dies before the battle.
After you deal with your opponents, the path to the last one will open for you Future boss Consort Radan.
Ahead at the exit from the hall you will see Dain's corpse, from which you can pick up a new melee weapon, Dain's Kick.
Where is the rest of Dane's armor set
Travel to the Castle Watering Hole, which you can teleport to directly from the Shadow Haven if you find the Mysterious Painting.
Ride right to the southwest until you reach the waterfall. Follow the mountain path on the left to the Ascetic River Upper Stream.
Jump to the other side and follow the path to the northeast. The necessary items are on a small island with ghostly tombstones. Go down a little lower to the golden cross and take the first part of the set – Seal of the Dry Leaf.
From there, carefully go down to the river. Move northwest where you will see another waterfall, there is a corpse with the remaining armor of Dane. Now you can take the last items from the set: the robe, armguards and boots of the Dry Leaf.
