How to unlock the Tanked achievement in Neverwinter - Definitive Guide

UPDATE! Not missable again! There were some changes where you couldn't get the drinks from Driftwood Taverns, but it looks like you can get drinks there again at any point now. Buy them from the barkeep for cheap!
There appears to have been some changes, and this is now missable. Previously, you could get drinks from the Driftwood Tavern at any point, but it no longer appears to work!

This achievement simply requires you to drink multiple times from the same keg of ale in Driftwood Tavern as this:
NeverwinterDrinking BuddyThe Drinking Buddy achievement in Neverwinter worth 42 pointsEnjoy a drink with Knox during the "Shroud of Souls" quest

To get there, you need to start the new Shroud of Souls quest line, by talking to Sergeant Knox in Protector's Enclave. (must have completed the 3 Confront Wizard tasks in the Cloaked Ascendancy Campaign Window to unlock)
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 until the achievement pops.
There's a few funny things that show up on screen and some hilarious effects when you move around. smile
Triggering your mount will negate the effects however.. rather weirdly.

Also just to mention, if you miss this while doing the quest, simply go back to the Driftwood Tavern and purchase 3 Ales from the bartender. Use them and the achievement is yours smile

Yes, I updated that yesterday, possibly before you refreshed the solution. smile It's kinda hilarious that you can do that! Also, weirdly, I think it takes 5 drinks during the questline, but only 3 outside of the questline. Or maybe my game was glitchy.

Ok...totally missed the first 2 achievements. Returned to Driftwood Inn and Bartender only sales potions and injury kits...where is the ale. I returned to the Inn both during the quest line and after the quest line. During my trip to Evernight, I purchased the ghoulish concoction x10. I was buzzed, drunk, then tanked., repeated, and again. I did get the “drinking with the dead” achievement but still no “Tanked” achievement.

Did you go upstairs to the big dinner table near the fireplace(I think), and try to get a drink from on the table?

Yes. 2 rooms upstairs one with lit fireplace and one non lit fireplace. No interaction In either room. And why am I not able to buy ale from Bartender?

You may not be able to purchase the 3 Ales in the Tavern anymore, but you can still buy some off the Auction House and it still works. I just popped it myself, so not entirely missable...

I think they re-fixed it; wandered into Driftwood Tavern less than a week ago after having seen this guide and not-yet starting the questline, and the Bartender had ale for either 1 or 5 silver apiece. One got a buzz, fuzzy vision, and ragdoll running going, so I grabbed a dozen. On a whim today tried 3 consecutive and got the achievement.

Yes. I looked on each toon...but alts are not doing any quests atm...they are idle. Also looked on another gamertag that shares my Xbox. He does not have the ale available either.

When starting the quest line. Speaking to Sgt Knox, there was a cut scene showing me drinking with him. I thought that was what the first achievement was. I don’t notice any interactionable thing around him nor on the table so I left the tavern. When I didn’t get the achievement, I Read the solution and I returned to the tavern immediately and he was gone, still nothing to interact with, and no ale from Bartender. Thinking it might be replayable, I continued with quest....since “Tanked” solution mentions that the ghoulish concoction worked, I would be able to get “Tanked” at that time. I was wrong. Drinking 11 ghoulish concoctions was fun, but no satisfaction with “Tanked”...even when notification came up stating “you are Tanked”.

Ok, that is bad! The questline is not replayable. There's no ale for sale that I can find. This achievement needs to be marked as missable! Do you have another toon that's level 70?

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".

If you miss this, you can go back to the tavern and buy normal ale to unlock the achievement. You may also buy the ghoulish drink in a later mission several times. It seems any other alcoholic beverage in the game should do the trick as well.

As of mod 22 you can simply go into the Driftwood Tavern in Protector's Enclave (right side of the local map) and purchase ale from the bartender. Drinking one will get you buzzed, two drunk, and three tanked with this achievement.

You'll get this when you get "Drinking Buddy." Simply keep "indulging" in that keg, at least 5 times, and you'll officially be tanked with Sergeant Knox. Once you're good and saucy you'll unlock the achievement.

Should you miss this the first time through, you can simply go back to Driftwood Tavern and buy 5 ales and drink them all. A message will appear on screen saying "You are tanked."
