How to Convince Oija, Sister Frideswid's Blacksmith

Learn how to convince Oija, Sister Frideswid's blacksmith, in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Discover the correct dialogue options to avoid a fight and get information.

Alright, so you've run into Sister Frideswid's blacksmith, Oija, and need to get some info out of him without a scrap. This can be a little tricky, but I'll walk you through the dialogue choices to make sure you get the information you need.

When you get to the conversation, you'll have a few options. Let's break them down:

Option 1: “I’m the one asking questions.”

Yeah, this sounds tough, but it's not the way to go if you want to avoid a fight. Picking this will just make Oija ready his weapons, and you'll end up having to fight him.

Option 2: “I’m a friend.”

This one sounds promising, right? It requires you to have at least Charisma level 2. However, even with that, Oija isn't buying it and you'll still end up in a fight. So, save your Charisma points for something else.

Option 3: “I’m a member of the Order.”

This is your golden ticket! If you choose this option, Oija will be much more receptive. Here's the kicker: if you happen to have an Order of the Ancients medallion on you, Eivor will show it as proof, and Oija will be convinced straight away. Easy peasy!

If you don't have a medallion:

If you don't have the medallion, don't sweat it. After choosing “I’m a member of the Order,” you'll get two more dialogue choices:

• “The Order is eternal.” — Nope, this one's a trap. Say this, and Oija will know you're not legit, leading to a fight.
• “Father of Understanding guide us.” — Bingo! Say this, and Oija will be convinced you're one of them. He'll then tell you where to find The Leech, and you'll avoid a brawl altogether.

So, to sum it up: go with “I’m a member of the Order”, and if you don't have the medallion, follow up with “Father of Understanding guide us.” That way, you'll get the information you need without breaking a sweat (or your sword arm!).
