In one of the earliest main quests that one can pick up in the Wrath of the Druids DLC, players living life as a powerful Viking in Assassin's Creed Valhalla must track down a mischievous and violent thug named Thorstein. However, to find this enemy of Dublin, Eivor must first track down one of his minions, who possesses a key to his lair.

After speaking with prince Sichfrith and gathering intelligence on Thorstein's whereabouts as well as that of his key-bearing lackey, Ama, the player can set out to find their targets.
With prince Sichfrith's information, it's relatively easy to find Ama, however, keep the prince's warning about her in mind: she is a dangerous warrior. While Eivor has likely taken down tougher adversaries, Ama will likely not be alone, and this could lead to Thorstein getting wind of the hunt for him and fleeing town; not the ideal outcome.
To locate Ama, head to the northern part of Dublin, along the large and slow-flowing river. Using Synin's bird's eye view can help narrow down one's search to a trivial matter by highlighting the desired area in a bluish-green temporary marker. This will illuminate a shack along the docks next to a large red ship and will be populated by sailors and other folk enjoying some ale.
Among them will be a tough-looking woman with white warpaint; this is Ama, though remember not to draw weapons and attack. There is a much easier, and more amusing, way to get the key from her. After a short conversation full of pleasantries and a bit of flirting, Eivor can challenge Ama to a drinking contest. Afterward, Ama will stumble away to walk off the weariness brought on by large quantities of alcohol and will be accompanied by a pair of bodyguards. This is the ideal moment to strike and snatch the key from her.
When Ama and her bodyguards leave the open dockside pub, follow them at a distance until they stop by a house along the river that is not too far from where the drinking contest was had. The guards will stop by the entrance to a simple pier while Ama heads down it until she is overlooking the gentle waves of a calm Irish river. The player can take these moments of a lowered guard to pickpocket the key, and there are even a couple of different ways to approach the target without being detected by her allies.
Keeping along the road, walk by the house on the left with the pier Ama is on and then loop back around behind the guards. They're not very observant, so Eivor can hop onto the pier behind them and walk right up to Ama as she retches into the river.
Before one passes the house with the pier, one can spot some wooden poles sticking out of the river behind the structure. Climb and jump along these until one finds the dock where Ama is recuperating from the drinking contest for an easy way to sneak up behind her.
