How to unlock the Lord and Master achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - Definitive Guide

In the video below it shows how to get this achievement along with "Divide and Conquer" and "Power Vacuum".

You want to start by branding all of the body guards of each Warchief. If a Warchief does not have a body guard its ok. After branding each one of the body guards, go fight each of the Warchiefs, if they DO have body guard, kill them. One of the branded body guards will become the new Warchief. If the Warchief does not have a body guard you need to make sure you brand him by weakening him then doing a combat brand.

Next if you need/want the "Divide and Conquer" achievement then simply go to the missions on the map which say " 'Insert Warchief name here' awaits your command". Find two Chiefs with at least 2 body guards then take out his two body guards ,which should be branded, simply by dominating them, then getting intel, then killing them. Or you can simply shank them to death. Then take out the Chief. Do this twice and you should get the Divide and Conquer achievement.

Finally keep killing the Chiefs in this manner and you should get the "Power Vacuum" achievement.

No, you don't have to. The only reason I say do it first so that another random captain doesn't take the spot of the war chief you kill. So if brand them all first you'll have control of the ones that take the places of the war chiefs.

When I completed this achievement, it was called Lights Out. Is it just because I have the GOY edition. That’s stupid cause now it says I don’t have this 1.

You have to do this as one of the final story missions. First brand one or more of the chief's bodyguards and then get them to betray the chief. I found this easier than doing the usual mission to bring the chief out as it becomes just a fight between the chief and the bodyguards with no additional orks to get in the way.

Semi-story related. Cannot be missed.
After the 17th story mission, “The Power of the Wraith”, you will be tasked with branding all 5 of the Warchiefs in the Sea of Nurn in order to progress the story. Although you gain the Brand ability after mission 16, and can brand all 5 prior to the main story mission asking you to do so, it is best to simply do it a single time for the main story and be done with it.

The best way to brand all 5 Warchiefs is to simply have one of their bodyguards betray them, rather than dealing with all of the bodyguards beforehand. This will create a Betrayal mission and completely forego the draw-out portion of the typical Warchief encounter. It will also instantly give you allies that will help weaken the Warchief, distract his bodyguards, and speed up the process.

If you happen to accidentally kill the Warchief before you have a chance to brand it, immediately look for a fleeing bodyguard with a crowned skull. That is who will be the next Warchief in his stead. Immediately try and brand him before he can flee and you will successfully have branded the Warchief in that specific slot. If he gets away you must start the process all over again.

Story-related, cannot be missed.

Towards the end of the main storyline, after lifting Lady Marwen's curse, you will be tasked with branding all five Warchiefs in the area in order to advance to the next mission. At this point in the game, you will naturally unlock this achievement while completing the task at hand.

There are two options for receiving

1. If you can’t stand it, then you can get it like this: as soon as you get the ability to cleave , we return to “ Udun ”... there the Leaders are just easy, they are ~10lvl and it won’t be difficult to knock them out

2. The opportunity will arise according to the plot...

Actually, this is a story mission, if you don’t finish it almost at the end of the game, you simply won’t have the opportunity to move on.

And at the beginning of the game, until you are leveled up, it is difficult to brand, there are always several assistants with them, they get it specifically.


Without them, you cannot defeat the 5 Claws of the Black Hand.
