Once you have enough Mirian, you can unlock rune slots by spending this currency in the upgrades menu or in the sword runes screen. Unlock 3 sword rune slots (you don't have to equip runes to them) and you'll get this trophy.

In the beginning of the game, you will only be able to equip one Rune per weapon: Bow, Dagger, and Sword. In order to purchase additional Rune slots for a specific weapon, you need to utilize your Mirian currency. It is important to recognize that each Rune slot will increase in price, so make sure to save up! Also, take note that Mirian can be acquired by completing side missions and retrieving collectibles around the regions of Mordor.
Overall, once you have acquired enough Mirian, simply purchase one additional Bow slot, three additional Dagger slots, and two additional Sword slots and all three achievements will be yours!
