What's the red thing freja drops?

[BananaJane]

I picked it up and it didn't do anything but a purple vortex showed up which also didn't do anything.
When I came back later there was a big diamond there which also doesn't do anything

Was I supposed to do somethign with the vortex?

Where am I supposed to go next? Freya's cave is a dead end

Red thing on the ground is key item for open Shrine of Winter gate so you can proceed to Drangleic Castle (after you defeated all 4 great souls).

Second bonfire in the shaded woods. Take the left most path

Thanks! =)

Oh, and what does it mean when a summon sign is channeled from far away?
I'm seeing these weird statues again

I'm guessing you entered a DLC area.

Each DLC area has a sort of co-op 'level'. The "A Summon Sign is Channeled from Far Away" message means that your summon sign, even though placed at the entrance to the DLC area, will show up at the entrance of the co-op 'level'. Even if (applicable only in the original DS2) you don't own the DLC. Thus allowing people who don't have the DLC to participate in DLC areas to a limited capacity.

Is the snow castle where I'm supposed to go?
The door's locked

[BananaJane]

Am I supposed to be able of opening the big castlevania castle door too?
I can't figure it out, enemies just keep spawning

Have you lit all 4 primal bonfires? That is the bonfires after the lost sinner, Duke's Dear Freja (the spider), The old iron King and The Rotten and picked up all their souls? They are not like normal bonfires, lighting them just sends you back to Majula.

After you have done that you are good to go for entering the shrine of winter and entering Drangliec castle and parts thereafter.

The shrine is in the shaded woods area, warp to the bonfire at the bottom of a tower that has three exits in a semi circle on a ledge. ignore the foggy area with the invisible enemies in the woods, ignore the short route which goes past the ogre and up past the muddy lake (you can't go there yet)

The path you want takes you past a lot of sword wielding enemies and ends up at a dead end door which, if you approached earlier on, told you to 'seek mightier souls'. with all 4 primals lit (or a shed load of soul memory) the door will open granting access to a dlc area and Dranglaic.

To get into the DLC areas, which came with the base game, you need to find the keys. They are around the world on corpses or in chests.

Yeah I did all the fires, there's just locked doors across the entire world I can't open
So the snow castle is DLC only and the german castle's where I'm supposed to go right now?
