How to unlock the Olympus Has Fallen achievement in Gems of War - Definitive Guide
(For this achievement your guild needs to be registered for the particular week's Guild War.)
Each day, you have five battles against a guild. (Find them under the Attack tab in the Guild Wars section in Guild)
The first battle is against a random "soldier"
If you win, the second battle is against a "vanguard"
if you win, the third battle is against a "herald"
If you win, the fourth battle is against a "champion"
If you win, the final battle is against a "paragon"
The achievement will unlock upon winning the fifth battle. (Originally there was a bug that gave you the achievement even if you lost to the paragon. This has now been fixed, it seems.)
If you are fighting a small guild, you might fight the same opponent multiple times.
If you lose a battle, you can't win the achievement that day, but you can try again the next day.
Just play with your favorite team and you'll get lucky, sooner or later.
If you're really struggling (which might happen if you are in a guild with a lot of advanced players - you will be teamed up with more advanced guilds), you can try leaving your guild and starting a new one. The first week will probably be the easiest. There will be a lot of newbie guilds to fight.
If you're looking for tips on best teams, check discussion on the Internet, e.g. https://steamcommunity.com/app/329110/discussions/0/62071236...
You can slightly improve your odds by purchasing bonuses for each week's war in the Sentinels tab. It is costly and only valid for a week. It might be a better idea to invest in your troops, leveling up kingdoms etc.
This achievement is slightly glitched, but in a good way. Rather than needing to win the battle, you simply need to finish a battle against a Paragon opponent, so it will still unlock if you lose.
You will need to be in a Guild and hope the leader has registered you for a weekly Guild War to attempt this. From there, you will need to win your first four matches in a single day (see "The Other Side of Dawn") and also hope that the guild you are paired with actually has a Paragon level opponent (smaller guilds might not). You will begin your battles against the lowest tier, and each time you win you'll move to the next tier (Soldier, Vanguard, Herald, Champion, then Paragon). Once you finish the Paragon battle (again, win or lose unless it gets patched), the achievement will unlock.
The guild you are paired against does not rotate until you finish all five battles against the current guild, or choose the skip option. If you already have "The Other Side of Dawn" unlocked, there's not much need to fight the rest of the battles, aside from possibly getting better rewards at the end of the war. You could get lucky and be paired against a weak guild on any given day (it seems quite random, and the guilds won't necessarily be your same strength), and as you increase the strength of your troops this will become easier as well.
UPD: I completed the last 5th battle by setting the console language to English, and the game language to German, and the achievement dropped. If you first go through the battle and then change the language, it will not drop out.
