How to unlock the Boom Boom Pao achievement in Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition - Definitive Guide

As of November 3 2021 there is still a bug/glitch that voids any achievements when you save and load meaning if you lose one of the Huihui Pao you cannot revert to a previous save you MUST restart the mission.

This takes place during the 9th Mongol mission (Fall of Xiangyang)

Huihui Pao are unique trebuchet units that can be built by one of your hero units Ismail. You can build as many as you want but I recommend at least 2. Make sure you destroy towers before the walls and gates. Also make sure you use attack ground as sometimes the huihui Paos get too close to the enemy towers and they can kill you quick. If that happens you must restart the mission or the achievement wont pop, even if you load an autosave or manual save.

That sucks so bad. My mission keeps crashing so it is extra hard.

I had to do this twice to get the achievement to unlock. The first time I only had one HuiHui Pao, it took damage but I didn't lose it. The second time i had 2 and neither took any damage at all. So if you're having issues maybe try with 2.

Use your hero unit Ismail's falcon ability. It will reveal a large radius around the character for some time, giving you plenty of time to target towers with your Huihui Paos. By the time the ability wears off, it will have recharged.

This might be fixed, I had the game open for about 20mins after the patch and it popped while I was laying in bed

Just popped completely randomly during a skirmish match whilst trying to do some mastery stuff. No idea what I did to unlock it or if it a glitch in a good way.

If you don't have a good PC then your game will crash alot in general. I haven't had one crash since upgrading my PC to current get CPU & GPU.
