How to unlock the Repaid in Blood achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - Definitive Guide

Vendetta missions are denoted by red shields on the map containing a circle with what looks like a V.
Vendetta missions task you with killing a captain that has killed another player. I believe if you have friends that have died they will be the first offerings of these missions. About the first 10 I did were avenging friends and then I got randoms. (Also credit to xGamBeaTx for confirming.)
They involve searching a green circle on the map for the captain, and then killing them however you see fit (usually involving some bonus objective based on their weakness.)
When you find the Uruk, it automatically tells you all their stats, so there's no need to find info on them yourself.
Once you've killed the Uruk, the achievement will unlock.

Any chance of getting a vendetta mission if none of your friends have the game..? Is anyone willing to add me that has this game?

Since a vendetta mission involves killing an Uruk who has killed a friend (the mission will specifically say avenge (so and so)) I would assume you need a friend who has the game.

I could have sworn Vendetta missions showed up for randos if no one on your friends list had the game, but it might be exclusively friends. You might need to make a session or use LFG to find other folks with the game in that case.

I think they stopped doing it now, but it used to be games had to be manually marked by presumably Game Info on whether to allow sessions or not. Would make sense this game wouldn't have that flag.

When I finally found one it showed a name of someone not on my friends list. For the question about playing it beforehand I am pretty sure you have to do the mission where you make Ratbag a captain first.

Can confirm that what MadMan17inc said worked the same for me too, wasn’t until after 2nd Gollum mission that a Vendetta quest popped up as new on my map.

So I am not certain if it is a bug or not but if you look at the pages of users that have unlocked this achievement it says that no one has unlocked it past November 7th.

It's a bug. I dunno if it's something that comes up when there are just a lot of pages, but if you manually change the url by adding ?page=XXXX to a higher page than what you can click, it goes farther.

Anyone still trying to get this? I need more friends on XBL :( Just switched over from being a longtime PlayStation guy. XBL is "Schobeleth". Edit: Just found out this doesn't require XBL friends but yeah. Deadline is coming.

I'm trying this. I have done the first few missions so the red missions have appeared. I don't seem to ever get vendetta missions though even when advancing the time. Any ideas?

I am creating a session right now for the end of the month. It's going to be a place holder for us to all use to get on and add people to increase our chances of getting this achievement done before the closure.

EDIT: so apparently you can't create a session for this game? I wonder why that is. Just message me if you need help and we will make it happen!

So I made a video guide on how to obtain this achievement (has commentary on how I did this). As said in above Solution, you don't need friends that play this game for a Vendetta to appear. I had a few friends ones appear in the first area, but once I unlocked the second area I noticed I was getting Randoms. Also be aware that when doing this I also noticed (When I first attempted this) there is two other captains around, no where near your target, but once you attack your target they join in and make it a little difficult. What I did was searched for them first and took them out before heading to my target. As shown in the video.

Up to date solution as of January 2021

While this achievement was scheduled to be discontinued when Vendetta missions were shut down at the end of 2020, it has now been patched and will remain obtainable.

Per the developer:
You get killed by a Captain and then avenge yourself. So it's not an online vendetta, it's a personal vendetta.
Captains that have killed you before are marked in the Sauron's Army screen as a Revenge Target with a red triangle over their head. Kill one of them and the achievement should unlock.

I had a little trouble getting this to show up, and since the clock is ticking, figured I'd share my experience.
Having your account email verified on WBPlay doesn't seem to be necessary. I'm gonna present two options here, the one I used and an abbreviated one since I probably did some unnecessary stuff.

My procedure:
1) Sign up for a WBPlay account, email verification not required.
2) Start the game and play through the first 3 story missions: The Slaver; The Spirit of Mordor; An Interested Party. At this point red side missions should start showing up like the ones I mentioned above.
3) Switch to a second account, sign up a for a WPlay account with them too.
4) Start the game and play through the 1st 3 story missions. Find a captain and let them kill you. The captain that showed up in the mission was actually one that killed me before finishing those 3 missions, so it might not be strictly necessary.
5) Quit and log back in with your primary account
6) Advance Time several times? No luck
7) Start heading towards a random uruk to interrogate him? Jackpot, before the guy even saw me.

Quick procedure.
1) Sign up for a WBPlay account with your secondary account
2) Start playing with the second account and get far enough in the story that you can be killed by a random, non-story captain. You certainly need to complete the tutorial, may need to complete "The Slaver" also.
3) Switch to you main account, sign up for WBPlay.
4) Play though the first 3 missions.
5) Wander around until the vendetta mission pops up. It may not show up while you are in a story mission, it may not show up in a side mission. Mine showed up while traveling out of missions. Took less than five minutes after I stopped just advancing time.

Vendetta Missions are small side missions that will only unlock after completing Ratbag’s first story mission. These side missions will then randomly appear on the world map from time to time and are represented by red Vendetta icons similar to Power Struggle icons. 

Once you reach the mission start point, you will be tasked with hunting down and killing an Uruk Captain that has killed another player in Mordor. Don’t be fooled however, this achievement does not require you to have friends nor followers who are playing the game. Rather, these Vendettas are entirely random in who you are avenging. 

When the mission starts, make sure to utilize Wraith Mode when hunting down the Uruk Captain. Once you’ve spotted the target, proceed to kill him with whatever means necessary and the mission will then end, thus unlocking this achievement.

To earn this achievement that's called "Repaid in Blood", you must complete a Vendetta mission.

The way it works is simple. One of your friends, on your PSN Friend List, should be playing the game (I hear it doesn't need to be a friend, but a total stranger also works too. I can't confirm that, however.). If either him or her gets killed by a captain or a warchief, a Vendetta mission will show itself on one of the two maps (Udon or Sea Of Nurmen).

Get to the starting point of that mission and load it up. Your job is to then find the Uruk responsible for the death of your friend and avenge him or her by killing him. Once you have successfully killed that specific captain, uruk, or even a warchief (doesn't matter who really), the trophy should unlock.

I should also mention that a bonus objective would be to complete the mission within a certain time limit, but even if you don't complete the bonus objective, that should be OK. As long as you complete the main objective, you're fine.

For more details on this trophy, I've attached a visual guide. Credit goes to MrReign for the video guide on how to obtain this trophy. I hope it helps! Good luck!

I can confirm that it works for vendetta missions for total strangers, I completed the game right when it was released when nobody on my friends list had played it yet.

These just aren't showing up for me at all, got quite a few people who have played this on my friends list, but they all played it a while ago, finished every other trophy of the original game and haven't seen one this whole time. Asking a friend to go on now and die a few times to see if it will make one show, will update if it works

Get killed by an Orc Captain (or an Orc that has been promoted to Captain because they killed you) then look in the Sauron's Army menu and find the one with the revenge tag on it. Now go kill it, then the trophy will pop. See here for a video Guide (credit to GuardianOwl for this):

The servers were closed, now the trophy looks like this:
1- let any Uruk kill you.
2- kill that same Uruk.

Currently done as follows:
You die at the hands of any captain, then you go on any mission where this same captain is and kill him.
