Learn how to forge the magical cord, Gleipnir, with the dwarves at Ivaldi's Forge in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Follow our guide to complete this quest.

Alright, so after you've dealt with that pesky wolf, it's time to figure out how to actually bind it. Your next stop is Ivaldi's Forge. You'll find it south of where you fought the wolf, tucked away in a cave right in the middle of Asgard.

As soon as you get close, a cutscene will kick off. You'll have a few dialogue choices here, so pick whatever feels right to you. The main thing is to listen to Ivaldi's plan to forge this magical cord called Gleipnir. Honestly, it doesn't really matter if you promise Ivaldi his freedom for doing this, or just say you'll be grateful – the outcome for the quest is the same.

Trivia: Keep an ear out during your chat with Ivaldi! He drops a bunch of dwarf names like Bombur, Nori, Gandalf, Thorin, and Thror. It's a cool nod to J.R.R. Tolkien's works, showing just how much Norse mythology influenced his writing, alongside other legends like Beowulf and the Kalevala.
