Hassling Haedrig

This page provides information on Hassling Haedrig[e] Achievement. It details when the conversations become available from Haedrig, the Blacksmith.

If you are going back to quests in order to get these conversations make sure you check the Blacksmith first for any conversations he has available. If they are white text listen to them. Some conversations won't appear if he has others not listened to (white text).

The Weary Blacksmith

Conversation

Player: "What troubles you?"

Haedrig: "It's my wife, she is very ill."

Player: "I pray for her health."

The player portion of the conversation can differ depending on the class and gender.

When

There is a small window of opportunity to get this conversation. It becomes available after completing The Legacy of Cain quest when you are not on any quest. Speak with Leah and then the cart blocking the path in Tristram will disappear which means you can reach Haedrig. Go to him and he'll immediately start The Weary Blacksmith conversation.

Once you accept the next quest, A Shattered Crown, the conversation will disappear so do not accept it from Deckard until speaking with Haedrig.

New Tristram

Conversation

Haedrig: "Nothing seems to ever change in New Tristram, does it?"

Player: "What do you mean?"

Haedrig: "There always some threat of the risen dead or foul evil descending on the town, isn't there?"

The player portion of the conversation can differ depending on the class and gender.

When

After completing A Shattered Crown quest quit out of the game. Select The Fallen Star > Captain Rumford from the quest menu. You'll appear in the centre of Tristram. Speak with the Blacksmith and he will have the "New Tristram" conversation available.

Haedrig's Grandfather

Conversation

Player: "I wish to hear more of your grandfather. King Leoric's Chancellor"

Haedrig: "Not much to tell. I lived with my father in Caldeum at the time. We heard that my grandfather stayed in Tristram until the end, trying to save lives. Don't know if he succeeded, but there it is. When the Skeleton King fell, my grandfather was dying from a sword wound. He had the crown sealed with him to keep it safe."

Player: "It takes strength to stand against the dark. Thank you for your grandfather's sacrifice."

The player portion of the conversation can differ depending on the class and gender.

When

After you have killed his wife Mira in the Cellar of the Damned you can speak to him back at his caravan and he'll have the Haedrig's Grandfather conversation available.

Cain's Disappearance

Conversation

Haedrig: "It doesn't seem likely that Deckard Cain could have survived down in the Cathedral this long, does it?

Player: "He is alive, and I will rescue him.

Haedrig: "You seem quite sure of yourself. Do you know something I don't?"

The player portion of the conversation can differ depending on the class and gender.

When

Available during The Legacy of Cain quest only.

Mira Eamon

Conversation

Player: "I am surprised to see you working so soon after your wife's passing."

Haedrig: "There's no point in hiding my face in a pillow. You need weapons; I make weapons. Work needs getting done."

Player: "I find your devotion admirable, and the quality of your work is impressive. We will speak again."

The player portion of the conversation can differ depending on the class and gender.

When

After handing the crown back to Haedrig, the Blacksmith on completing the Shattered Crown quest.

Haedrig's Father

Conversation

Player: "You spoke of your father before. I would like to hear of him."

Haedrig: "My father was a diplomat. We had a manor in Caldeum with servants, terraces, all of that. Everything changed when the troubles started. Somehow, rumors spread that my grandfather was responsible for the King's madness. My father's work fell apart. No one would speak to him. He kept believing it would blow over, though."

Player: "Did it?"

Haedrig: "No. I'd rather not talk about it now, if you don't mind. I have work to see to."

The player portion of the conversation can differ depending on the class and gender.

When

Available directly after completing The Broken Blade quest.

Select The Broken Blade > Talk to Alaric from the quest menu. Make sure you have listened to any other conversations the Blacksmith has available. Some conversations will not appear if others haven't been listened to first.
