How to unlock the Rattle the Hive achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - Definitive Guide

On your way to killing the 4th warchief in the DLC you will have to do a mission in which you learn how to bait mounds to force ghuls to come out. Once you have completed this mission you will be able to start baiting mounds at will. All you have to do to bait a mound is shoot an arrow at it. They are easy to spot while aiming with your bow. They are small mounds of dirt that have a little ghuls head icon above them. You must bait at least 3 during the training mission and another 3 during the next mission to draw out the warchief. The next mission has you baiting mounds to draw out ghuls to lean how to brand and control them so this achievement should be unmissable as long as you are following the campaign missions. If you do not have this by the time you finish the main story, just ride around open fields of grass looking for mounds to shoot, there are plenty.

Story related and cannot be missed.
You will be unable to perform this action until you start the Matrons Rising mission. Upon beginning this mission, the game will unlock the ability to bait Ghûl mounds and will instruct you in how to do it. Basically you can shoot your bow at little mounds of dirt that are scattered everywhere. These mounds will also have a white Ghûl icon above them when you are using the Wraith view.

In Matrons Rising you are required to do this 4 times. In Stronghold Uprising you are required to do this 3 times. In Hypocritical Oath you are required to do this 3 times. These are all main storyline missions and arrive at a total of 10, thus is cannot be missed if you complete the story.

During the story mission entitled "Matrons Rising", you will be shown a tutorial on how to perform Ghul baiting. Essentially, you will need to shoot a fully charged Bow shot at a Ghul mound, small mounds which are randomly scattered around the region of Nurn.

After shooting their mound, a swarm of Ghuls will then burrow from the depths of Mordor and ambush Talion's position above ground. For this achievement, all that's necessary is to shoot ten mounds and allow the Ghuls to reach the surface. During the aforementioned mission, you will naturally gain progress towards this achievement, but you will need to continue hunting down Ghul mounds in Nurn before finally baiting ten mounds.
