How to unlock the Drinking Buddy achievement in Neverwinter - Definitive Guide

NOTE: MISSABLE!! Thanks to Ms Dudette for confirming you CAN obtain this if you miss it the first time, by joining someone else doing the quest!

You must have completed Chapter 5 of the Cloaked Ascendancy Campaign(last chapter) in order to start the new Shroud of Souls quest line.
Then, go talk to Sergeant Knox in Protector's Enclave and accept the new quest "The Dead and Defeated".
He'll ask you to meet him in the famous Driftwood Tavern.
Once in the Tavern, simply go upstairs to meet Knox and talk to him.
At some point before you leave, press cn_A on the keg of ale on the table for this achievement.

There's a fun screen effect that happens when you take a drink! smile

I'm sorry about that! I forgot to update that you have to have completed the Cloaked Ascendancy campaign! Adding that right now...

For a bit of additional clarity - to make Chapter 5 available, you need to advance the Cloaked Ascendancy campaign through completion of the three "Confront" campaign quests. You don't need the boons, to unlock Spellplague Caverns, or any of the "Clear the Docks" etc. quests.

Quick question for those of us that missed this one...
Can we accompany someone else along this part of the quest and interact with the keg? Thus resulting in achievement?

As far as I know, yes, you can accompany someone on this quest. I remember going through it with a friend after I did it myself, and I saw the cutscene again that happens up in the tavern, and was able to drink from the ale again, and get tanked again...

Can you join a friends game if he has activated quest The dead and defeated quest but has not gone tavern yet. And how many friends can you do this with.

Reason I ask is I have not done this yet and was thinking of putting a session up for gamers who have missed it

No-one has answered that unfortunately--I know that yes, you can join a friends game like I was able too, but I don't know if that will trigger it. I'm pretty sure it will, that makes sense at least?
I would imagine, you could get a full squad through at one time, but I have no idea if you can leave the tavern and get more players in each time.

Yes. You can join another’s game and achievement will unlock. At least it did for me Jan 30, 2018. We had 3 in our group...host with the mission, and 2 of us that missed it during our playthrough. Everyone unlocked the achievement as we were drinking.

If the first Shroud of Souls quest, you have to speak with Knox in the tavern. There is a keg on the table with Knox. Drink from it once for "Drinking Buddy" and then keep drinking from it to unlock "Tanked".

Note: Potentially missable. There seems to be no way to replay this quest if you miss this.

MISSABLE

Make sure you drink from the keg next to Knox before you leave!

Start the campaign by speaking with Sergeant Knox. He'll offer a quest called "The Dead and Defeated." Upon accepting the quest, Knox will tell you to meet him at Driftwood Tavern in Protector's Enclave. Once inside, Lukan and Kavatos will appear via a portal in the corner of the room. After the cutscene finishes, Knox will be sitting by the table. You should notice a small sparkling keg on the table. Take a swig of ale and the achievement will unlock.
