How to unlock the Black Celebration achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - Game of the Year Edition - Definitive Guide

Summary:
1. Unlock the ability "POISON" by completing the main mission "The Outcasts".
2. Find a feast mission on your map (you can advance time at a tower if one does not appear).
3. Sneak into the party and locate the grog barrel.
4. Press RB to poison the barrel without being seen.
5. Hide and wait - the achievement will pop when the Captain drinks from it.

Full Explanation:
Before you can start this, you must complete the main mission called "The Outcasts" in order to unlock the ability "POISON".

Once you have completed this mission and unlocked the ability, you need to search the map to find a "feast" mission that you can invade. Feast missions appear randomly and have the same icon as all other missions; orange with two skulls inside. You can use any tower you have unlocked to "Advance Time" if a feast mission does not appear; but remember that advancing time WILL alter Sauron's army.

Once you start the mission, use your power (cn_LB) to identify the grog barrels. They appear as what looks like an explosion symbol with an arrow inside. Walk up to them and press cn_RB to posion them - be careful not to be caught!

Then simply wait. As soon as the chief drinks from it, the achievement should unlock.

Note: Thank-you to the commenters below for pointing out a mix-up in the buttons. I have fixed this now! :)

I think you have the LB & RB controls switched.

if you mess up and alert the camp, just kill everyone but the captain ( i also left 1 guard) then run around until you can hide in the bushes. then when the captain resets himself in the camp, poison away :)

Don't know if this helps, but sometimes the captain won't go to every one of the barrels. When I completed this the captain only went back and forth between two barrels and didn't come near the other two. If you notice they're doing that you'll have to go poison one of the two that the captain is frequenting.

I'm having a hard time spawning this mission it just doesn't spawn. Is there a better chance for this mission to spawn in Udun or sea of nurnen? Do I have to make a couple missions on the side just to refresh the RNG because I've been advancing like 20+ times and still no feast appears. Does it matter if some of the captain/warchiefs are branded? Help plz
