How to unlock the The Silver Fist achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - Game of the Year Edition - Definitive Guide

An easy time to complete this is while doing the optional One Ring mission "Strength in Numbers." Just build up your combat multiplier and use the Flash Brand skill (cn_X+cn_A) to brand part of the enemies around you, and you should have it in no time.

Also, if you're having trouble, using the wraith flash will eventually fill the one ring's power and you could use that to have unlimited Flash Brand for a short time.

Edit: Some people have commented that they found this to be easier while doing Test of the Ring. Additionally, if you have any trouble with the achievement popping, try removing any epic runes.

Worked like a charm, thank you. Note: The achievement didn't pop for me but I noticed at some point that it was already unlocked by the time I stopped "trying"

I think without using the ring power this may be totally impossible!

I think a lot of it is actually the xbox. I can't tell you how many times achievements haven't popped for me right away. Literally had to wait five days for the last few achievements on a game to pop. So annoying...

I got this without going for it specifically by playing the last Warchief mission on The Bright Lord DLC. With the boost from playing all the One Ring missions, a large number of enemies bunched together, and the easy cn_X + cn_A combo, this was really easy to do on accident.

I found it easier to do in the Test of the Ring, as no blue uruks there to mess things up. Go in to the western stronghold (with the bridge) and run up and down between the to section letting them raising the alarm. Then activate the ring and spam flash brand. You need to hurry, it runs out quickly. After that, just dismiss everyone to get more enemy spawned, and keep your combo up. Remember, you can activate 2x in Test of the Ring.

On the part of the campaign where you have to keep at least 10 branded for 2 minutes. I did what the guide said and it didn’t pop. But the I ran out of the mission zone to retry it. Pressed A to retry again and then POP. Seems to be glitchy some for so. I guess try that and see if it works. :)

I also had a tough time with this one until I got rid of any epic runes. This was affecting another achievement too so I thought why not try it and it popped on the first try.

The Bright Lord. You can get it in DLC Story or the Test of the Ring Trial of War.

This worked first try using this; I had epic runes (that has nothing to do with the achievement) just keep using X+A once you're charged; I used 2 right away near uruks then pressed down on the d pad so they wouldn't kill others or get in my way because they're fucking annoying. Use the power of the ring as you'll have unlimited X+A or any of those power moves for a limited time.

For anyone having issues with this like I did (even after removing all epic runes from every weapon), try this:

-Delete your local save only
-Go offline via Network settings
-Load up the game and fire up The Bright Lord DLC
-Clear the first few towers until you're able to do the Press the Advantage mission
-Go back online via Network settings before starting the mission
-Brand 20 uruks via Flash Brand

The achievement should pop once you've met the criteria. It worked for me.
