Diablo – When can I get Haedrig’s conversations for the Hassling Haedrig achievement

achievementsdiablo-3

The achievement says to "Listen to all of the Blacksmith's conversations."

Because some of these are missable, I'd like to know when Haedrig's conversations first become available and if and when they become unavailable. The Weary Blacksmith seems particularly missable.

Best Answer

Because some of these are only available after the Blacksmith has been unlocked during A Shattered Crown in act I, you will have to start already completed quests after having unlocked the Blacksmith.

The town becomes inaccessible after you start the objective Find Diablo during The Prime Evil in Act IV and so any not heard by that point have been entirely missed.

Act I

  • New Tristram: Available after accepting the quest The Fallen Star by starting Act I until you accept the quest The Legacy of Cain.
  • Cain's Disappearance: Available during the quest The Legacy of Cain.
  • The Weary Blacksmith: Available from the time after you complete the quest The Legacy of Cain and before you accept the quest A Shattered Crown until you accept the quest A Shattered Crown. NOTE: At the end of the Legacy of Cain mission. You must go talk to Haedrig where he stands near "Radak the Fence" AFTER you talk to Leah, but BEFORE you talk to Cain. If you talk to Cain first you will automatically accept the A Shattered Crown mission and will miss the opportunity to have this conversation with him. It is easy to blow right by this one.

  • Mira Eamon: Available from the time after you complete the quest A Shattered Crown and before you accept the quest Reign of the Black King until you begin Act II.
