How to unlock the I Had To Put Him Down achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - Definitive Guide

The other solution is great and detailed but the easiest way to execute a Caragoth is simply once you’re mounted on one just hold cn_RT and press cn_B button (at least in my case is counted as execution of Caragoth).
Hope it helps.

Does anyone know if this one is glitched for good? I have it on "Done, unlocking!" now for 2 weeks. Problem is, TA does not notice this here on the side. Normally whenever was stuck in this situation I could see that it was done on TA, too.
Is there anything to reset it and do it again?

What you want to do is mount a Caragath and then find a relatively large group of enemies to attack. Dismount and fight them and get you chain up to 5. Now simply execute your tamed Caragath for the achievement.

*Thanks to PhantomSiren for clearing it up

One option of doing this is when you face the Warchief named Asgam Smuggler. get your hit-streak up until you have an execution then execute one of the Caragaths his captains are riding.

To get the trophy "I Had To Put HIm Down", you need to kill a Caragath with an Execution.

There are two ways you can get the trophy.

-If there's a Caragath nearby with multiple Uruks surrounding it, fight the Uruks until you get a 5 or 8-hit streak going (preferably 5-hit streak), then make sure you're facing the Caragath and hitting both the Circle and Triangle butotns at the same time. If done correctly, Talion should rush towards the beast and slay him with an Execution.

-The other method, which is what I used to kill the beast more quickly, is to mount the beast first. You can do that by either jumping on it from above and doing the control prompt to tame the beast or you can aim with your bow and use the move "Shadow Mount" to instantly get on top of the beast and tame it. Once that's done, all you have to do is hold down R2 and then press Circle. I don't think you need to get a five-hit streak going for this one at all, just hold down R2 and press Circle. Talion should instantly kill the beast and the trophy is unlocked.

Have fun and good luck!

This can be done as soon as you start the Lord of the Hunt DLC. Follow Torvin’s instructions and shadow mount the Caragath ahead, then once mounted hold RT and press B to execute the Caragath and the achievement will unlock. You’ll fail the mission but by hitting retry you’ll be put right back to before shadow mounting.

This can be obtained at any time during your playthrough. In fact, despite the achievement’s description here, you don’t actually need to perform an execution on a Caragath to kill the creature. Instead, simply shadow mount a Caragath while traveling through Nurn and then perform a “Mount Kill” by holding the right trigger and tapping immediately. This will allow Talion to silence the creature and unlock the achievement quick easily.

The execution ability is available via your upgrades through Ranger: Execution. To be eligible to perform an execution on an enemy, you must first get your Hit Streak at 8 or above. If you have learned the Ranger skill known as Blade Master, then you only need to reach 5. The Hit Streak counter will turn run and your sword will glow at this point.

While you can certainly get this trophy in a regular Caragath fight, the easiest tactic is to tame a Caragath first. This way you have a docile (to you) Caragath that you can perform the execution on.
  • Mount a Caragath
  • Look for some enemies to fight; all you really should need is 2.
  • Dismount your Caragath and engage the enemies in melee by only using . This should quickly, and easily, get your Hit Streak to red.
  • As soon as your Hit Streak is red, move quickly towards your Caragath and press + to perform the execution. If your Hit Streak wears off, then you need to retry.
  • If successful the trophy will immediately pop.
An alternative method is as follows (personally this did not work for me, but two people have told me that it worked for them so I'm adding it): simply mount a Caragath and then press +.

Get on the kargat and press R2+ (exhaustion is something else, it must be murder)

Performed in the additional company Great Hunt.
We sit on the kargath and press RT + B (kill the mounted beast)

We need to execute him, not drain him. The comment above is not accurate
