10 hardest achievements

By Mr MacGoo Chan ヽ(；▽；)ノ

Hello, in this guide I'll be showing you how to unlock the 10 hardest achievements in game. Why 10, you may ask... because you get the other achievements just from playing the game. The ones I'll list here tend to be missed on normal playthrough.
If you found this guide useful, please rate it. Comment if you have something to ask, thanks.

Relentless

For this achievement you need to perform a a streak of 50 hits while in hero mode.
You can watch this video to see how it's done.

Friend to the Ring-bearer

To do this achievement (I believe it's a secret achievement), you will need to go to Rivendell and talk to Frodo. Just keep pressing E to skip dialogue and you will get it, but be aware that Frodo will be in Rivendell only the first time you go to the city, so don't miss it.

Now for wrath, now for ruin!

To do this, I find the best way was to us the elves active ability (2).
The attack will kill all the orcs around you. Make sure you have 4 of them at your side. This will be easy if you do it on normal or heroic mode

I show you how it's done in this short video.

Eagle savior

Just kill Agandaûr, the last boss in game without Beleram's help and you will get it

Herb-master

For this achievement you will need to play as the elf, and collect herbs. You will need to combine 30 of them to make 15 potions

I show you how to do it in this short video made by me.

The Lidless Eye

You will need to collect all 7 of the cult of the lidless eye scrolls.
Be aware that you need to talk to Elrond in Rivendell to get the quest.
When you gather all the 7 scrolls you need to go back to Rivendell, talk to Elrond again and than you get the achievement. Do this before you go to the last chapter where you end the game.

This video is very good and clear, is not mine, rights to AH Community

Warrior Exemplar and Battle-master

On Warrior Exemplar you need to unlock every skill that provides a modification to War Cry, Sanctuary or Evasion for one character. Be aware that you need to be lvl 14.

On Battle-master you need to unlock every active-cast ability in one character’s skill tree. To do this you will need to be at least lvl 17.

I found that the best way to do this was to buy an item named "Re-spec Token", as shown in the video. If you're low on money, just buy it and do it as they explain. Then when you get the 1 achievement, restart your game and use the item again for another achievement.
This way you will only need to buy it once

This video will show you exactly how to do both of the achievement.

Well-arrayed

I found this to be one of the hardest ones as it's not self-explanatory, but it's quite easy.
You just need to get all parts of an armor set and then equip them.
What I did was go visit all the cities after doing missions, searching for the armor I was missing from the set. However, if you just continue playing in all difficulties and don't sell your equips, you may get it easily.

You can see it in this video made by CalandSimo.

Living Shield

You need to be hit for a total of 25,000 damage - Not on your shield as you might have thought, but on yourself.
On the first level of the legendary difficulty, you will have to go near orcs and let them hit you. This might take a while and you'll need a lot of potions.
You might ask yourself if you'll get the achievement at end of the chapter - no you won't. As soon as you take 25,000 damage the achievement will pop up.

Do as shown in this video I made.

If anyone is still playing this I got a little help. I did the exemplar and battle-master right after winning the game. I clicked the ranger loaded into Bree walked straight to the shop and bought the re-spec token and used it. Opened the menu and exited out of the attribute stats going directly to the skill trees. Followed the instructions of the video above and clicked confirm, but as soon as I got the achievement I quit the game without saving. Back at the menu I selected loremaster and loaded into the game. The re-spec was already active so I didn't need to buy another one. Repeated the same steps as I did for the ranger and quit without saving. Loaded back in with the ranger and my stats and skill tress were still blank so you can do whatever you want, and now you're only using one token and saving time.

It wasn't meant to be useful just pointing out no disrespect meant tho its a good guide for starters sure :) but honestly the best class to be is the mage or ranger dwarf is good but once you level up the ranger and mage get the good weapons/armour for them they are pretty much unbeatable unless you get blown up on hero mode then its a 1 hit kill on you :D

Thats not really a constructive/useful comment... thanks aniways

None of these are hard to be fair just keep playing and sooner or later ur gonna get what u need

Only 1 i would say anything hard is the online one where u need a combo kill of 2 others
