How to unlock the Burning Shadow achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - Definitive Guide
To use it simply hit to bring up your bow, aim at an uruk or your choosing, and then tap to brand it. Simply repeat 19 more times. You'll get this quite easily over the course of the dlc campaign.
This trophy may be achieved in either DLC story mode or Test of the Ring.
One of Celebrimbor’s new abilities is to Shadow Brand enemy Uruk from afar using the bow. In order to pull this off, you’ll need to hold and then tap when aiming at an Uruk to initiate the attack. This ability will consume three elf-shot on activation, but it ultimately allows Celebrimbor to brand enemies from a distance.
One of the first objectives in this DLC tasks players with Shadow Branding at least 12 Uruk. Take note that these will definitely count towards the achievement, thus lessening the amount needed to finally reach the full twenty. In the event of running low on elf-shot throughout the DLC, Celebrimbor can resupply from various elf-shot loot sources around the world or hold on a targeted enemy Uruk to drain their mind for a short time and replenish half of the elf-shot gauge.

So, when you run around like crazy and interrogate every Uruk you come across, don’t look for loners. It’s better to do this: Attack a squad of 4-5 Uruks, we immobilize all but one (a bow shot in the leg, we interrogate the rest. When you interrogate, the immobilization will disappear from the rest of the Uruks, we repeat the procedure. Thus, having attacked several squads, you will find out the location of all 20 uruks in about 4 minutes.
