Triple Boluk-Bashi

Kill all 3 Ottoman officers in Young Men's Work with melee kills in the campaign

How to unlock the Triple Boluk-Bashi achievement in Battlefield 1 - Definitive Guide

This is done in the second mission of the fifth war story, "Young Men's Work". This was recorded on easy difficulty; however, difficulty does not affect the achievement / trophy. Simply follow the guide to find the three officers and be sure to kill them with melee attacks. Do not worry about being spotted or alerting the enemies.

Here is a video guide with English commentary for this achievement!

Or...

Use the cavalry sabre. Throw all pretense of stealth out the window and just go bananas on horseback - I got two of the three officers to leave their buildings to find out what was happening and cut them down once they were outside.

I was going for this but I died after killing the second one and i had to start again. When I killed the same one again the achievement popped. So I think you can just melee and die for the same one three times.

The calvary sword wasn't counting for me. I had to get 3 on-foot melee kills in a row in order for this to unlock.

This can be done over multiple lives. I think I died nearly 5 times, certainly once after every pigeon, (just because I was rushing and trolling a little because it was my last war story) and still got the achievement. tl:dr you can get this over multiple deaths, the game is smart enough to track your melee kills over multiple deaths. So you can do this one while doing your ‘hard’ difficulty playthrough.

Having the same issue. I’ve replayed this mission 3 times. Only doing knife melee kills on all 3 officers. No achievement. Wonder if latest patch broke it?

This unlocked just fine for me today. I alerted the guards on the 1st and 3rd locations and still no issues.

A note for this solution you can get all 3 codex entries and this achievement in the same mission, all you have to do is kill one officer with a tank, I found it easiest in the ruins, DO NOT pick up his satchel and leave the base, go to the next officer and kill him with a bolt action rifle, I picked one up at the tent in the weapons depot, again DO NOT pick up his satchel, move onto the 3rd officer and this time kill him with a melee, now you should have all 3 codex entries you can proceed to pick up the satchel and dispatch the message via carrier pigeon, now return to the other 2 bases and kill the 2 remaining officers, which will have respawned, with melee kills and send the messages, the achievement unlocks on the 3rd kill I was killed before I sent the final message but already earned the achievement.

Didn’t work for me either. Satchels remained on the ground and the officers did not respawn.

this sounds like it would make it needlessly harder and more complicated

I have made a guide on all three officer locations and how to stealthily kill them with a knife. I hope this helps!

Note: When I get to the area with each officer I restart the last checkpoint. This is where I start to get every kill if you get lost. Make sure you are in the area because if you are not you will restart at the last officer.

Pretty simple trophy here. On the Desert missions, there is one particular mission called Young Men's Work, in it there are 3 commanders that are carrying a capsule that you have to kill them for. All you have to do is melee kill all 3 commanders. Can be done on any difficulty and killing them on the horse with the Calvary sword also works.

To unlock this achievement you will need to kill all thre of the Ottoman officers in the mission 'Young Men's Work' with a melee kill. Set the game to easy, then from the beginning got on the horse and run to the far right outpost. You can choose to try and sneak to get to him, it will make it go smoother, but if you know exactly where he is you can just sprint to him and stab him. He is in one of the few two-story buildings that has a Phonograph visible on the balcony. After stabbing him, you don't need to collect his satchel or send his message, assuming you're doing this just for the achievement, completing the mission is not necessary.

Next, get back on your horse and run to the central outpost. The officer is in the sole building on the second floor on his own. Same again, sneak if you wish or just run up to him, stab him and get back to your horse.

Finally, run to the far left out post (left from where you started, right from where you are now if you've followed this path). The officer will be in the lower section of the ruin that has been turned into a sort of encampment, with visible beds/shelves and fires/lights. He walks around the area sometimes going out of this encampment area and he is followed by a heavy armoured gunner who cannot be melee killed. What i did was sneak behind the gunner, throw a lure to his far right, the sneaked past him on the left as he turned away from the officer, stabbed the officer as quickly as i could and the achievement unlocked.

There is an Ottoman officer in each of the three locations in Young Men’s Work. These locations are the Village, Weapons Depot, and Ruins. You can either do this quietly, or just run in and melee kill them. The officers are wearing a black uniform. Two of them are in buildings and the one in the ruins is located in a tent.

In the camp, which is located among the ruins, we steal one of the tanks and destroy everyone on it except the officers. You won't encounter much resistance. The tank can be repaired. After clearing, we can kill the officers. And so with each camp - we get all the guards out of the tank, drive up close to the officer, cut them, take the dispatch and get back into our tank.

Set the level to easy and run like Rambo, killing everyone in hand-to-hand combat (problems can be caused by max: reinforced machine gunners and flamethrowers, and even then they are not very strong) The tanks are oblique, and you have to survive a direct hit, I’m generally silent that, for example, tanker missions can be completed running outside the tank with a wrench

I also want to add that you can just kill them (no need to send letters), they should be given as soon as you kill the last officer
