"It is done, when it's done." a wise man once said.

About Eikthyr: Max your deer armor (not 4, 3 is good enough), get a lvl 3 wooden round shield, a lvl 3 flint axe, eat up on boar, deer and honey and wack that silly wanker.

You'll be done within five minutes. You need to learn to use "block" efficiently, of course.
