How to unlock the Nom Nom Nom! achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - Definitive Guide
A couple missions into the game you will do a hunt with Torvin where he will introduce you to the Wretched Graug. Right after a mission called " No Rest For The Wretched" will show up on the map. You will need to kill 20 archers with the projectile vomit to summon the warchief and his captains. Once you see them, run up to them and eat one of them quickly.
This achievement/trophy can be combined with "Wretched Retch"
First off play and complete the Unwarranted Aggression mission which acts as a tutorial on how to use Wretched Graugs. Once it is completed you will still be mounted on the one from the mission and can use it in free roam. Now look for captains by using Wraith Vision and engage one. Try to stay away from captains holding bows and arrows as they can easily dismount you. To get Wretched Retch hold the left trigger to aim and right trigger to vomit on the captain. Nom Nom Nom! is a bit trickier. You can either find a captain with a fear of Graugs who will flee on site and chase him down to eat him or you can dismount kill the orcs and weaken him. Then remount and eat him up.
After completing the mission entitled “Unwarranted Aggression,” Talion will remain mounted upon a dominated Wretched Graug. At this time, begin traveling across Nurn with Wraith Vision activated until the red outline of a Uruk Captain becomes visible. As soon as you spot your target, tap the right thumbstick in to mark the Captain and start heading over to his location.
When you are near the target, hold the left trigger to aim the Graug’s reticle and then hold the right trigger to release a stream of Projectile Vomit. If you are able to hit the Captain with this vomit, then Wretched Retch will unlock right away. As soon as the achievement unlocks, quickly move in on the Captain and tap to iniate the Graug’s Bite Attack. This will cause the Graug to sweep its hard across the battlefield, pick up the Captain, and devour him whole, thus unlocking the "Nom Nom Nom!" achievement.
First off, find a Worm (an Uruk with a green symbol) or a group of slaves, one of them also with a green symbol on it). From there, either dominate the Worm or speak with the slave to gain Intel on your chosen captain. Alternatively, you can simply find a random Captain on the Sauron's Army screen and target him as well.
Once you gain the information you need for that Captain, it's time to find a Wretched Graug. Fast travel to the tower that's all the way to the right of Num, where you start out. Walk a little bit forward and use Wraith Vision (by pressing ) to locate a Graug Bait that's hanging underneath a bridge. I recommend using your bow and arrow to shoot the bait and wait at least ten seconds for the Wretched Graug to appear. Once he does, use the Shadow Mount technique to jump on top of him and dominate the beast.
Now that he is under your command, find your Captain on the map and target him. Then follow your mini-map, which is located on the lower-left corner of the gameplay screen, and hunt him down. Once you reach that area, use Wraith Vision and look around until you see a red uruk with an R3 symbol above his head. Press down the and he will be targeted on the gameplay screen. From there, maneuver your Graug until you are close enough to the Captain and press to have the Graug swipe the Captain off the ground and then watch the quick cutscene as the Graug lifts the poor uruk Captain into the air and bites off his head.
Once he's eliminated, the trophy should unlock right away! If you need a visual aid, this should be helpful. I've attached a video guide for this specific trophy. All credit goes to Solus Sicarius Guides for the video upload. It's a short video, but it gives you the right idea on how to get the job done for the trophy.
Have fun, good luck, and happy hunting!
Alternatively, once Unwarranted Aggression is complete, you can always summon another one by shooting Graug bait with your arrows.
Now that you have your Wretched Graug, go find a Captain. Sometimes (but not always) a Captain must be in a weakened state (the icon above his head is green instead of white) for this to work. The easiest way to do this is to find a Captain that has the weakness of Fear of Graugs; upon seeing you he will immediately flee. Otherwise, dismount and battle the Uruk Captain until his life bar turns green.
Once you have a Captain in your sights, press while mounted to eat the Captain. If it fails, weaken him, and then try again. The trophy should pop immediately.
