You get this Great Rune after defeating Starscourge Radahn. It increases your character's maximum HP, FP, and stamina when used. To activate Radahn's Great Rune, you need to find the Divine Tower of Caelid, located north of Caelid. Since there is no door there, you have to find your way through the tree roots on the cliff.
