Sir Gideon's Shardbearer Listing

[Phoenix]

The listing of Shardbearers seems kinda odd to me. Radahn is listed right below Godrick making me assume he's the next intended Shardbearer to be taken out. This is supported by the fact that he was the second Shardbearer I organically came across. Unless you count all of Caelid, Redmane Castle is easily the shortest dungeon prior to a Shardbearer. Caelid is also far easier to access than anything post-Godrick. While you can bypass it if you know the route, Stormveil seems to be an intended location you have to visit to progress west. Caelid in the other hand seems to be just another direction you could take instead of Stormveil by going east instead of west. I was primed to take on Radahn. I explored most the accessible overworld to procrastinate on Radahn. By the time I finally did find the Glintstone Key I was level 130. So Rennala just became an absolute cakewalk. The listing of the five Shardbearers mentioned by Sir Gideon should go as follows. First Godrick, then Rennala, after that Rykard followed by Radahn and finally Morgott. I think that's a better leveling and difficulty curve.

It seems like the world is scaled to do Godrick, then Renalla, then Radahn, then the altus Plato. I ended up over estimating Caelid and didnt return their until after the capitol, and most of the content was then a joke. There doesnt seem to be a clear time to do Caelid at all.
