Then Hildiran will explain to you that it is Odin's Eye and it will act as a compass for you to find the next location - the Odin's vault. She will tell you to continue your training and this quest will end.

5. Skadi's Blade / "The Joy of Killing" Challenge

With the release of Update 1.2.2, which introduced mastery challenges, a time limited challenge - "The Joy of Killing" has also been added, allowing you to get the mythical, two-handed axe - Skadi's Blade.

A stylish axe named after the Jotun of winter. Either made as an offering or to dedicate every blow to the goddess it is named after.

How to get Skadi's Blade in Assassin's Creed Valhalla?

To complete "The Joy of Killing" challenge you must earn a gold medal in any of the challenges. You will then be able to go to UBISOFT Connect and claim your reward there.

Note: If after winning the gold medal you still can't claim your reward then try re-logging etc. I claimed my reward after I completed the "The Cryptic Tutelage of Hildiran" quest so I may have missed some other requirements.
