How to unlock the Severe Pommeling achievement in Call of Duty: WWII - Definitive Guide
You receive the pommel after doing all 3 rituals and filling the pool in the ritual room with enough blood. You will see a part of the statue light up, go up to it and press X, a notifications will pop up.
Now that you have the pommel I advise that you finish the Easter egg if you have to. You do not want to do the boss fight on higher rounds. Holding LB charges the pommel. After using it, the pommel takes a few seconds to recharge so don't worry about running out of it.
After finishing the Easter egg you can do this in 3 places ideally(excluding glitches). Do not do this by the pack a punch machine. It's a waste of time and you'll end up buying shield and wasting kills by shooting zombies while waiting for your pommel to recharge. Same goes for ritual room, muechlers will spawn there and charge at you, DO NOT TRY IT IN RITUAL ROOM. Speed perk is advised as well for this.
Location #1 Up by the bunker, this area has a lot of space to run around and train from the radio to the artillery into then bunker then around in a circle. Let the undead spawn in, charge pommel by holding left bumper and throw at your feet. If you get low on shield you can purchase it in the bunker.
Location #2 Beach. Tons of space here to train and run around and in between rounds you can head up not to far and buy more shield if you need it.
Location#3 U-boat pens area(where you place the decapitated head)
Run around in circles training zombies, charge pommel, throw at your feet. Rinse and repeat. Shield is just up the stairs if you need it.
This took me 5-7 rounds after Easter egg, not including boss fight kills. Good luck!
I don't feel posting about a bug would be useful because by the time this happens you've already gotten to the end.
Happy hunting!
Please refer to the Making History trophy above for details on how to obtain the pommel. You will need to complete steps 1-19.
Once you have the pommel, perform 250 kills with it. Barbarossa’s pommel is essentially a wonder weapon special grenade that auto refills every 10 seconds after being thrown. It will detonate upon impact with a zombie or the ground and kill or damage any zombie within its radius. It will generate a red sphere that lingers for a few seconds and then implodes, any zombie within the sphere when it implodes will also die. A generally good tactic for this is to train zombies in the submarine pen and then throw the pommel amid the group of zombies. It is advised to do this before activating the radio at the end of the quest and triggering the boss fight as it requires quite a lot of time to obtain and so you will want to make sure you get this trophy before a possible game over in the boss fight.
