Inside you will find a magic orb. Hildiran will ask you to take the orb and then hand it to her. Eivor will do so, indicating that he feels he has been used by her. Hildiran will agree with him.

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.
