Bear Club for Men

Olrun is angered after being defeated in the The Great Norn Alemoot and challenges you to defeat a Rabid Bear armed only with a club.

Requirements

 * Male character
 * The Great Norn Alemoot

Objectives

 * Kill the Rabid Bear with the provided club. Killing it without the club equipped will not count.

Reward

 * 100 Norn Reputation points

Walkthrough
You get a hammer to kill the bear with:
 * Club of a Thousand Bears (weapon)
 * Blunt Dmg: 15-15
 * Inscription: None
 * Two-handed

Although you are given a bear club, you only have to be wielding it when the bear dies for the quest to be considered successfully completed. This means that you can fight the bear normally using other weapons and switch to the club for the killing blow.

Hammer attacks can be used when the club is equipped.

Certain shadow step skills (such as Viper's Defense) can teleport you outside the ring, while the bear remains stuck inside. Once outside, you can use ranged skills to kill the bear at your leisure without fear of death. Consider bringing 1-2 interrupts to stop Troll Unguent.

The three elite Norn blessings, Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support, the four Asura Summons and Vampirism are also particularly effective. Or try a build including Life Transfer, Insidious Parasite, Vampiric Gaze, Life Siphon, Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support and Ear Bite. It should die within 2 minutes.

For professions without blocking or blinding skills, a combination of spirit-spamming skills such as Signet of Spirits, Pain, Vampirism, Bloodsong, Shadowsong, and Painful Bond kills the bear quickly. Just set spirits up in the open area where you enter the arena. Placed correctly, the spirits can hit the bear and the bear cannot hit them, although having rank 12 in channeling makes channeling spirits strong enough to survive his attacks.

Initial dialogue
Olrun Olafdottir
 * "Sure, you have bested me at drinking games... but can you handle a rabid bear? Hahahaha! You should see the look on your face, . Oh, don't cry. Take a knee and listen to my tale."


 * "In my youth, I stumbled upon a vicious bear roaming the trails, foaming at the mouth and with murder in its eyes! Did I run and cry like a cub? No! I tussled with that hairy beast using nothing but my trusty club and cunning wit... and it took a few months for my hair to grow back, but that's beside the point. I challenge you to match my feats. Do you have the iron guts necessary to take down a grizzly, fearsome beast?"


 * YesI was born ready. (moved to quest map zone)
 * ingameI need time to prepare.

Reward dialogue

 * Olrun Olafdottir
 * "I expected to find your remains in the bear's gullet, but here you are smelling like a rose. Well, a sweaty rose. I guess that bear put up a fight!"


 * "We are alike you and I. Our deeds are known far and wide. We're tough fighters and swell lookers. There is no one else for me but you. It was fate that brought you here. Together, we will keep the family name alive! Speaking of names, is such a silly, feminine name. You need a good, strong Norn identity. We shall get you one once you join the Olafson clan."

Trivia

 * The name of this quest is probably a play on words pertaining to "Hair club for men."
