How to unlock the The Spirit of Mordor achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - Definitive Guide

The other guides are fine but they don't seem to have picked up on the fact you actually get a branded warchief as part of the story missions as said around 15 or 16, it's a queens mission and can use him any time you want to get this.

One thats complete and you have the branded warchief simply go to his mission marker on the map it will be a blue skull icon as opposed to the red one, highlight him in the army menu if you can't find him, Go there press RB to start the mission, there is no mission, all it will do is make him appear and he won't be hostile as he's branded, grab him with RB, A to dominate, Y to command choose Riot achievement unlocked.

This worked fine. Just to confirm:
- You can cause the riot by attacking a captain, not just a warlord as indicated in the description.
- You can still do this after you complete the main story.

Step 1: Find and fight a Warchief (Must have "Command" unlocked from Main Mission progress)
Step 2: Weaken him until he "surrenders". (Do not use executions when he is in low health, he must stay alive!)
Step 3: When he surrenders, choose "Dominate" then "Command"
Step 4: In the Sauron Army screen, choose another Warchief (unbranded) and "Riot" to attack him.

I'll Just like to add to these great guides that you can even command a warchief to riot against a captain and still get the achievement. I had all 5 warchiefs branded and took a gamble with a captain and it popped.

To complete this achievement you need to complete mission 17. That's when you will have all the following albilities. Brand and Dominate. After that task is simple. Defeat a Warchief in a battle and when he surrenders instead of killing him (cn_X), you press choose Dominate (cn_A) and then you choose Command (cn_Y). Last step is to pick one of the other Warchiefs and start a riot. This will give you the achievement.

You need the Ability Brand which unlock after the Mainstorymission Queen of the Shore. This Mission is at the End of the Story (15-16/20 Missions), After you get this Ability play one Mission further (The Power of the Wraith) and you learn how to command an branded Enemy.
Go back then to the first Map (Udûn) and choose a Warchief (its easier here as on the second Map) Go now to Missionstart and play until the Warchiefs arrived. The Warchiefs capitulate when their Hitpoints are low, now use dominate and then choose Command. Choose a different Warchief and press the cn_A Button for a Riot.

At the moment, this trophy can be unlocked by commanding your Warchief to attack any captain OR Warchief. This may be a bug but the solution is essentially the same.

Later in the game, after a story event, you'll learn how to brand Captains and command them. Either brand a Warchief (this is hard because many of them have an attribute that prevents this) or a Captain. If you successfully brand a Warchief, get him in a grab/hold, then "Dominate" and "Command". From this point, simply command him to attack one of his fellow Warchiefs.

With a Captain, you'll first have to Command the Captain to become a Warchief's bodyguard, help them pass the trial, and then command that Captain to betray the Warchief. Join the battle yourself, help kill the Warchief, and as long as your Captain survives, he'll become Warchief. At this point, do the same as above.

As soon as you issue the command, this will unlock. You don't need to attend the battle or have it succeed for this trophy.

You do not have to do this as Warchief vs. Warchief

I had 4 Branded Warchiefs and 1 Dead Warchief

I dominated one of my branded Warchief's and selected one of the captains at the very bottom of the screen to start a riot against and the achievement pops as of 5/2/2015

Before attempting this achievement, you must first have unlocked the "Brand" and “Command” ability. Once you can pull off these tactics, head off into Mordor and try tracking down a Warchief whichever way you deem easiest.

Once you have located a Warchief, weaken him – capitalize on his fears to quicken the process - until he surrenders. From here, you will now have to dominate his mind and then tap  in order to give him a command. When the “Sauron’s Army” screen opens, have your newly branded Warchief start a Riot by tapping  over another Warchief that is not branded. The achievement will unlock right away once the Riot has been issued.

You must complete the 17th story mission “The Power of the Wraith” to unlock the Command ability needed for this trophy.

After completing “The Power of the Wraith” mission fast travel back to Udun. There should be 5 Warchiefs there that you can brand to make your own. If you want, you can also complete the A New Master and Stinking Rebels trophies at the same time, which is the most efficient way of gaining the platinum.

Once you have done all of the preparations to draw out the Warchief, simply brand/dominate him like you would any other Captain. Now that he is yours he will answer to only you via a new mission type called “Beck and Call”. It will appear on your map as a blue icon. Travel to the mission and begin it to summon the Warchief. Grab on to the Warchief and dominate him, then press to command him and select another Warchief to begin the Riot and unlock the trophy.

We brand the leader and meet him at the appointed place. Then we grab him (Give an order) and set him against another leader.

They gave me a trophy when I set the leader against another captain, it is not necessary to set it against the leader

An important addition: you can only set it against an unbranded leader. It is impossible to set two branded leaders against each other.
Another IMPORTANT addition: you can simply choose the captain (Riot). It is not necessary to choose the leader at all - the description of the trophy is a little incorrect. You can set it on the leader or the captain - it makes no difference. You can absolutely stage a “Riot”.

Similarly, on the first map all my leaders were branded and it was impossible to raise a rebellion against the leader, so I set it on an unknown captain and the trophy fell out.

The translation is incorrect, it is not necessary to set it on another leader. I set it on the captain and the achievement still counted
