Dwarven RingDwarven Ring1Optional; obtainable from players or creature lootUseful only after pushing the mammoth. Do not wear it while drinking the three mugs, because it prevents drunkenness.
The first Honeycomb does not guarantee completion: Sven grants a limited batch of mead sips and the character must resist ten consecutive drinks without passing out.The Mead Horn received after Test 1 is reusable and can be refilled at the brown mead bucket near Sven.The bear and mammoth used by the quest are special objects. Do not confuse them with ordinary aggressive creatures in the ice fields.

Quest Notes

Pass Sven's three traditional barbarian trials: endure the barbarian mead, safely hug the sleeping bear and knock over the ceremonial mammoth while drunk. Completing all three makes the character an honorary barbarian.

Objective: Complete the Barbarian Booze, Bear Hugging and Mammoth Pushing tests in strict order, reporting every completed test to Sven.

Walkthrough

  1. Bring several Honeycombs and travel to Sven in the large tavern west and south of Svargrond depot.
  2. Start the test with hi, barbarians, test, yes, yes. Then say mead and yes to give Sven one Honeycomb.
  3. Use the brown mead bucket beside Sven repeatedly. You must survive ten consecutive sips without passing out. If you fail the available attempts, give Sven another Honeycomb with mead, yes and continue.
  4. After succeeding, report with barbarian mead. Sven gives a Mead Horn and assigns the bear-hugging test.
  5. Fill the Mead Horn at Sven's mead bucket. Find the sleeping quest bear in the northern ice cave, use the full horn on it and then use the unconscious bear to hug it.
  6. Return to Sven and report with hug or bear hug. He assigns the mammoth-pushing test.
  7. Buy three Mugs of Mead from Dankwart. Find the special ceremonial mammoth northwest of Svargrond, drink all three mugs while not protected by a Dwarven Ring, face the mammoth and use it.
  8. Return to Sven and say mammoth. He recognizes you as an honorary barbarian and permanently unlocks the Svargrond access benefits.

Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Test 1 — Barbarian Booze

Resist ten consecutive sips of Sven's barbarian mead.

Items for this route
  • At least 1 Honeycomb; several are recommended
Complete step-by-step
  1. Find Sven inside the large barbarian tavern west and then south of Svargrond depot.
  2. Say hi, barbarians, test, yes, yes. Sven explains that foreigners must pass three tests to become honorary barbarians.
  3. Say mead, yes. Sven removes one Honeycomb and authorizes a limited number of drinks from the brown mead bucket beside him.
  4. Use the bucket repeatedly. A successful sip displays: The world seems to spin but you manage to stay on your feet.
  5. If the mead knocks you out, your character briefly appears as a corpse and the consecutive counter is reset. Continue using the bucket while attempts remain.
  6. The test succeeds after ten consecutive sips without passing out. When completed, the bucket reports that there is no need to torture yourself anymore.
  7. If all attempts from that Honeycomb are used without success, return to Sven, say mead, yes, give another Honeycomb and try again.
  8. After passing, speak to Sven and say barbarian mead. He gives you a Mead Horn and starts the second test.
Exact NPC keywords

Sven — each new batchmeadyes
Sven — after successhibarbarian mead
Important route notes
  • Success is random. Bringing only one Honeycomb can force an extra trip.
  • Do not leave after a successful sip; the requirement is ten successful drinks in a row.
  • Achievements are later-version content and are not part of Dathoria's Tibia 8.0 implementation.

Test 2 — The Bear Hugging

Use the full Mead Horn to calm the sleeping bear, then hug it.

Items for this route
  • Mead Horn received from Sven
  • Mead from the brown bucket
Complete step-by-step
  1. Use the Mead Horn on the brown bucket near Sven to fill it. Confirm that the horn contains mead before leaving.
  2. Leave Svargrond to the north, climb the northern ramps and enter the ice field near the carpet service. Continue into the small northern ice cave.
  3. Locate the special sleeping bear used by the quest. Ordinary Bears and Polar Bears are not the objective.
  4. Use the full Mead Horn on the sleeping bear. The mead makes it safely unconscious and consumes the horn's contents.
  5. Use the unconscious bear itself to hug it and register the test.
  6. Return to Sven and say hi, hug. The alternative phrase bear hug is also accepted on Dathoria.
  7. Sven confirms the hug and assigns the final mammoth-pushing test.
Exact NPC keywords
Sven — report Test 2hihug
Alternative reporthibear hug
Important route notes
  • Use the horn on the bear before using the bear. Trying to hug it while awake does not complete the test.
  • If the horn is empty, return to Sven's bucket and refill it; the Mead Horn is not consumed.

Test 3 — The Mammoth Pushing

Become sufficiently drunk, knock over the ceremonial mammoth and report to Sven.

Items for this route
  • 3 Mugs of Mead from Dankwart
  • Optional Dwarven Ring for the return trip
Complete step-by-step
  1. After reporting the bear hug, buy exactly three Mugs of Mead from Dankwart near Sven.
  2. Travel north again, but continue farther west through the ice fields toward the wilderness northwest of Svargrond.
  3. Find the special non-aggressive ceremonial mammoth. Do not attempt this on an ordinary hostile Mammoth.
  4. Stand beside and face the ceremonial mammoth. Remove any Dwarven Ring before drinking.
  5. Drink all three Mugs of Mead consecutively so the character becomes drunk enough for the test.
  6. Immediately use the ceremonial mammoth. A successful use knocks it over and records the final test.
  7. Only after success, equip a Dwarven Ring if desired to remove the drunken movement effect and return safely.
  8. Speak with Sven and say hi, mammoth. He declares you an honorary barbarian and completes the quest.
Exact NPC keywords
Sven — final reporthimammoth
Important route notes
  • A Dwarven Ring prevents drunkenness. Wearing it while drinking the mugs prevents the mammoth test from working.
  • Drink the mugs only when already beside the correct mammoth so the intoxication is not wasted.
  • The three mugs are consumed; buy another set if the attempt is made incorrectly.

After Completion — What Becomes Available

The final report changes the character's permanent Svargrond access state.

Complete step-by-step
  1. Ask a Svargrond temple NPC to become a citizen if you want Svargrond as your hometown.
  2. Visit Halvar at the arena north of town to pay for Greenhorn, Scrapper or Warlord challenges as each mode becomes available.
  3. Use Buddel's boat services and continue the Ice Islands storyline with the northern NPCs.
  4. Keep the Mead Horn; it remains a souvenir and can still be refilled at Sven's bucket.
Important route notes
  • Completing Barbarian Test grants arena permission; it does not automatically complete any arena difficulty.
  • Access to later islands still depends on completing their own Ice Islands missions.

Dathoria Tips

  • Bring three to five Honeycombs to avoid repeated trips during the luck-based first test.
  • Fill the Mead Horn before leaving Sven's tavern and verify it is full.
  • Buy the three mugs only after Sven has accepted the bear-hug report.
  • Never wear a Dwarven Ring while drinking the three mugs beside the mammoth; equip it only after the successful push.
  • The quest bear and mammoth are special stationary objectives. Ordinary creatures with similar names do not advance the quest.
