![]() "This paste is spiced with basilisk blood. The waif put the tears to one side and opened a fat stone jar. Smell." Arya sniffed, and smelled nothing. Dissolved in wine or water, it eats at a man's bowels and belly, and kills as a sickness of those parts. ![]() "This is a crueler poison, but tasteless and odorless, hence easier to hide. Here, you can smell the sweetness." She let her have a whiff, then sent her up the ladders to find a red glass bottle. The taste is very sweet, so it is best used in cakes and pies and honeyed wines. Three pinches will produce that sleep that does not end. A pinch will grant a night of deep and dreamless sleep. "A few grains will slow a pounding heart and stop a hand from shaking, and make a man feel calm and strong. "Sweetsleep is the gentlest of poisons," the waif told her, as she was grinding some with a mortar and pestle. Her part was mostly fetching, scrambling up ladders to find the herbs and leaves the waif required. She uses these disguises to infiltrate different parts of Braavos.Īrya helps the waif prepare poisons and the waif teaches her what to smell for. Most of the time she guessed wrong.Īrya goes through a few "roles" during training notably "Cat of the Canals" and "Beth". The questioner had to try and tell what was true and what was false. Sometimes they would answer truly, sometimes they would lie. The next day they began the lying game, asking questions of one another, taking turns. Lying is one of the first skills Arya learns from both "the kindly man" and "the waif". From the left she heard the sound of laughter. "Are you deaf?" She spun, the stick in her left hand, whirling, missing. A stinging cut from behind her caught her in the back of the legs. Left or right? She jumped left, swung right, hit nothing. Talking would only muddle any sounds he might be making. She held on, slashed back … and found only empty air where he should have been. The force of the blow almost knocked the stick from her hand. She stepped to one side, grabbed for her stick, snapped it up to protect her face. Going by both tags being used I am going to cross-reference the show to the books as you seem to be well versed in show lore.Īrya is trained with a stick (I'd say like a Bo staff) while she is blind to learn how to tell where opponent is without seeing them.Īnd moving. It seems like you have everything covered. Remove the face to be used later (Arya removed the face of the Waif, therefore needed the proper training)Īnything else? Answer from the books / author is preferred, if none is available (as not all books are yet released), an answer from the tv series 'Games of Thrones' is accepted.Handling dead people (we see her wash / prepare the dead).Poisons (this is just an assumption, as she's killed the Freys with poison and I don't see anywhere else she could've learned this skill).Acting (When she imitated the servant when killing Walder Frey and imitating Walder Frey).Fighting (when fighting Brienne, she says that 'no one' has taught her to fight like that, I understood it as a reference to Jaqen H'gar). ![]() So, what does the training to become a Faceless men include? We see her, as an example, kill the Freys with poison and she was, when she was imitating Walder Frey, speaking with a different voice. ![]() But what does the training consist of to become a Faceless Men? It was mostly serving, telling lies (the game she played with the waif) and fighting. We've seen Arya training with the Faceless men in Braavos.
