There is one of the missions early on, I think it's a dagger or sword one where you have to go and brutalise a guard without being seen , around him are 10 Orcs and a conveniently placed fire. You will fail the mission by shooting it. If you quit out and reload the fire will be back again. smile

Just to help clarify in addition to the previous comment. The 50 burn kills do not have to be in anyway consecutive or take place all at once. You only have to get 50 burn kills total.

This achievement is one of the fun ones. I figured I would get it during the course of doing main missions and sides, which I did, along with the achievements such as baiting caragors, making uruks flee from the flies, etc.

If you want to get this as quick and easy as possible, simply fast travel between the original Forge Tower, and the Forge Tower in Durthang Outskirts (bottom left of map). There is a fire you can shoot by each, without ever leaving the tower. Shoot the fire, fast travel, rinse and repeat.

The Detonate ability is one of the very first skills you can unlock in the game. In fact, out of the first four abilities in the Wraith's skill tree, you should probably choose Detonate first, as it's extremely useful in combat during the entirety of the game.

In essence, this ability allows Talion to shoot arrows into campfires and at explosive barrels, thus causing them a massively overwhelming explosion. What's great about this ability is that you are completely immune to the damage from the fires and explosions. Overall, you will usually spot groups of Uruk enemies huddled around campfires around Mordor and their Strongholds as well. As a cumulative achievement, simply burn a total of fifty Uruk with this ability and the achievement will finally unlock.

Detonate is a Tier 1 Wraith ability that is used with the Wraith Bow (+). After learning it you will be able to shoot explosive barrels and campfires to detonate them, causing them to explode and light enemies on fire. Any enemy caught in the blast will be set on fire and often die soon thereafter. An Uruk does not have to die in order for the burn to count towards this trophy.

The earliest place you can farm this easily is at the Stronghold in Durthang Outskirts. After unlocking the detonate ability fast travel to the Durthang Outskirts Forge Tower, and head directly East until you reach the “Shadow Under Siege” bow mission. Activate it, immediately walk forward into the stronghold to abandon the mission, then proceed farther down the road.

Get as many Uruk to chase you and then locate the explosive barrel just to the right of the Caragor cages. Gather them close to the barrel by running around and jumping over them with , then use + and shoot the barrel while standing on top of it. You will not take damage from the explosion, but the nearby enemies will. You will burn/kill roughly 10-15 per barrel.

Immediately head back to the mission starting point to restart it. This will respawn the barrel and the enemies. Repeat the process as many times as needed until the trophy unlocks.

If you happen to make it to Power Tier 3 and learn “Combat Drain” without unlocking this, or completed “Shadow Under Siege” too soon, you can go to the Sword Mission “Arise”. It is better than the Durthang Outskirts because there are more enemies as well as more detonation sources.

To get the trophy that's called "And it Burns, Burns, Burns", you have to burn 50 uruks by using the Detonate ability.

The requirement for this is exactly that - the Detonate ability, so make sure that's unlocked first.

Once that's done, you can find either a single barrel or a stack of barrels with Uruks nearby. You can find them in the strongholds in both maps, which is where I grinded. All you have to do is aim your bow and arrow at a barrel or a stack of them and fire an arrow at it. If there are uruks nearby, they will burn from the explosion.

Bonfire also help too in this regard. If you see a small group of Uruks camping around near a bonfire, make that fire explode and it will also hurt or kill the Uruks through burning as well.

Happy hunting and good luck!

After receiving the ability, we look for groups of Uruks near the fire and shoot at them with a bow.

The trophy is cumulative!! Just shoot at the fires... the more enemies there are around them, the faster you will get the trophy))
