How to unlock the A New Master achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - Game of the Year Edition - Definitive Guide

An easy way to get this achievement is to target and find a captain who is vulnerable to stealth. Charge at him in stealth mode and time a stealth brand right as he detects you (flashing red detection meter). He should then be dominated, and the achievement will be yours.

While stealth brand is a good idea, I'd like to provide a tip. I recommend getting him into the green area of his lifebar then tackling him to the ground and holding him. Once you hold him, press and hold down cn_B so that you can brand him. That's what I did. I was on a Caragor fighting what I thought was a random Uruk and it turned out to be a Captain that couldn't be killed by a Caragor. So I got off my mount, fought him until he was in the green, then tackled him and dominated him with the Brand as I held him. Achievement unlocked.

It should be mentioned that you don't unlock the Brand ability until you complete the mission "Queen Of The Shore" which is one of the first main missions to become available once you reach the second map area.

I totally got this by accident!! I just finished a sword legend, and I was running away from Maw of Hope to find herbs and heal up....well a captain just popped up out of nowhere with "Fear of Caragors", I grabbed him, branded him cheevo popped.......but I will still give you an upvote!!!

How do you 'brand' someone? I've been playing this game for 2-3 weeks and I haven't even seen a mention of the term!

You can do it when you are in the second area of Mordor.

After the mission Queen of the Shore you’ll acquire the Brand ability. You can easily get this achievement during the subsequent mission, The Power of the Wraith. The mission will have you tracking down a captain. Lower his health until it’s in the green then simply grab him and hold B and the achievement will unlock once he’s branded.
