Barbarian Test Quest/Spoiler

Required Equipment

 * Honeycomb (Probably more than one. The number of honeycombs that you will use depends on your luck).
 * Three Mug's of Mead. Can be bought near Sven.

Barbarian Test 1: Barbarian Booze
Go to Sven west of the Svargrond depot and then go south at the crossroad (it's a large building with lots of stools); ask him about taking the barbarian test. Give him a Honeycomb by saying "mead". For each honeycomb you will be allowed 20 sips, drink from the bucket until you drink 10 sips in a row without passing out. If you pass the sip this message will appear: The world seems to spin but you manage to stay on your feet. And if you fail: '''The mead was too strong. You passed out for a moment.''' (your sprite becomes that of a dead human for a couple of seconds). You can drink as fast as humanly possible. If you don't pass, try again, by saying "mead" again and giving him another Honeycomb. If you did it this message appears: You already passed the test, no need to torture yourself anymore.



Barbarian Test 2: The Bear Hugging
When you have done that he will give you a Mead Horn. Fill it with mead from the bucket behind Sven (brown contents) and then proceed to the sleeping bear. He is up a set of ramps, to the east of the arena ramps; the Carpet fly-er has set up his business up these ramps however you want to go west then north past the Carpet fly-er inside a small ice cave. Once you get through the giant ce area entrance go due north until you hit a wall and follow it east. Use the full mead horn on the bear so it becomes unconscious, then use the bear to hug it. Report back to Sven.



Barbarian Test 3: The Mammoth Pushing
For the next mission you need to buy 3 mugs of mead from Dankwart (if you find some empty mugs you can fill them with beer from the cask underneath sven, it will work too) nearby Sven. It is advisable to take a dwarven ring with you. Find the mammoth, which resides in the same icy area as the bear but far to the west. It can be found next to a house where the hermit (Romir) lives. Once you have found the mammoth, drink your mead, then use the mammoth to knock it over. Return to Sven.




 * Here is the correct location of the Mammoth and the Bear:



Finishing this quest, you will become a Svargrond citizen. This means that you will be able to fight in the Arena, travel with Buddel's boat (Beware, he is a drunk! :P) and start the The Ice Islands Quest.

Sven (first meeting)
Player: hi

Sven: Be greeted, Player!

Player: barbarians

Sven: A true barbarian is something special among our people. Everyone who wants to become a barbarian will have to pass the barbarian test.

Player: test

Sven: All of our juveniles have to take the barbarian test to become a true member of our community. Foreigners who manage to master the test are granted the title of an honorary barbarian and the respect of our people ...

Sven: Are you willing to take the barbarian test?

Player: yes

Sven: That's the spirit! The barbarian test consists of a few tasks you will have to fulfill. All are rather simple - for a barbarian that is...

Sven: Your first task is to drink some barbarian mead. But be warned, it's a strong brew that could even knock out a bear. You need to make at least ten sips of mead in a row without passing out to pass the test ...

Sven: Do you think you can do this?

Player: yes

Sven: Good, but to make barbarian mead we need some honey which is rare here. I'd hate to waste mead just to learn you're not worth it ...

Sven: Therefore, you have to get your own honey. You'll probably need more than one try so better get some extra honeycombs. Then talk to me again about barbarian mead.

Player: barbarian mead

Sven: Do you have some honey with you?

Player: yes

Sven: Good, for this honeycomb I allow you 20 sips from the mead bucket over there. Talk to me again about barbarian mead if you have passed the test.

Player: bye

Sven: May wind and weather be with you.

If you didn't pass the test, you will need more Honeycombs''' before you can try again. You will also have to talk to Sven again''':

Player: hi

Sven: Be greeted, Player!

Player: barbarian mead

Sven: Do you have some honey with you?

Player: yes

Sven: Good, for this honeycomb I allow you 20 sips from the mead bucket over there. Talk to me again about barbarian mead if you have passed the test.

Player: bye

You have to repeat this until you have passed the test.

Sven (second meeting)
Player: hi

Sven: Be greeted, Player!

Player: barbarian mead

Sven: An impressive start. Here, take your own mead horn to fill it at the mead bucket as often as you like ...

Sven: But there is much left to be done. Your next test will be to hug a bear ...

Sven: You will find one in a cave north of the town. If you are lucky, it's still sleeping. If not ... well that might hurt ...

Sven: Unless you feel that you hugged the bear, the test is not passed. Once you are done, talk to me about the bear hugging.

Player: bye

Sven: May wind and weather be with you.


 * Fill your Mead Horn at the bucket at Sven.
 * Go to the north of Svargrond and find the sleeping bear.
 * Use your filled Mead Horn on the bear . After that you have to hug him. (Just use the bear).
 * Return to Sven.

Sven (third meeting)
Player: hi

Sven: Be greeted, Player!

Player: hug

Sven: Amazing. That was as clever and brave as a barbarian is supposed to be. But a barbarian also has to be strong and fearless. To prove that you will have to knock over a mammoth ...

Sven: Did your face just turn into the color of fresh snow? However, you will find a lonely mammoth north west of the town in the wilderness. Knock it over to prove to be a true barbarian ...

Sven: Return to me and talk about the mammoth pushing when you are done.

Player: bye

Sven: May wind and weather be with you.


 * Go to the north-west of Svargrond and find the Mammoth.
 * Drink your three mug's of mead, stand in front of the Mammoth and push it. (Just use it)
 * Now you will be very drunk, so it is good to carry a Dwarven Ring with you.
 * Return to Sven.

Sven (fourth meeting)
Player: hi

Sven: Be greeted, Player!

Player: mammoth

Sven: As you have passed all three tests, I welcome you in our town as an honorary barbarian. You can now become a citizen. Don't forget to talk to the people here. Some of them might need some help ...

Sven: We usually solve our problems on our own but some of the people might have a mission for you. Old Iskan, on the ice in the northern part of the town had some trouble with his dogs lately.

Player: bye

Sven: May wind and weather be with you.
