There was nearly nothing in redmane castle because the festival was going on, no items, nearly no enemies. After having defeated radahn, is it worth it go back through the castle now that the festival is over or nah?

Some smithing stones are there, also a boss fight as well but nothing spectacular.

It depends. There's a Flamberge with innate bleed that's worth grabbing. And an ash of war somewhere. So ya. It's not very big either so you can quickly explore it.

after you beat Radahn all the doors open so you can actually get items from there and then kill a miniboss

Dungeons are always worth it since dungeon crawling is the main appeal of the game.

That said, Redmane castle has some neat stuff in it. I'm rather partial to the Flamberge myself.

It's not a big area, it's easy to explore. It's basically a slightly larger fort.

Well, there is a really nice gravity sword, Ruins somthing sword.... forgot the name...
Theres a natural boss in that map, before festival mode and the reward is that sword. If you didnt do it, festival mode can lock or hide it for a bit. It will return after festival mode.

Ruins Greatsword. It's a very fun one for PvE.

Isn't the flame art whetstone there? Or can you get that before Radahn?

Eitherway there are some nice items after those doors open

Three big-deal things show up after the festival. The Flamberge Greatsword, the Flame Whetstone, and the Ruins Greatsword (legendary weapon). So yeah, worth a revisit. Especially if you're a STR build.

Before or after, not during the festival
I didn't comment on it since I just assumed OP is not on their first playthrough

You can get the first two during the festival, hassle free..... Unless you prefer murdering everything in your path towards collecting them, ofc, then feel free to ignore this post. :)
