Interrogating The Blacksmith

The dialogue with the blacksmith is one of the rare occassions in Assassin's Creed Valhalla where the charismatic dialogue option isn't necessarily the best one.

Choosing the first two dialogue options will result in open conflict with the blacksmith. These will alert the nearby guards outside his home as well.

Go for the third dialogue option and pose as a member of The Order if you prefer to end this phase of the quest as quietly as possible.

The blacksmith becomes suspicious of you and ask that you prove if you really are a member of The Order. You will then be presented with a new set of dialogue options to prove your claim.
