How to unlock the Life of the Party achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of War - Definitive Guide

First you need to find a destroyer by interrogating worms and getting captain information. Once you've found one, head to his location and brand him.
Now, you need to die. Either by a captain or grunt, it doesn't really matter. This'll open up an vendetta mission. Once it's spawned go to the Army menu from the pause menu. Find your Destroyer and press cn_Y, this will open up the commands. Find the captain that killed you and press cn_A. Press cn_A again to confirm and the achievement will unlock.

You can tie this to helping a grunt get promoted to Overlord, sometimes the gane will be a pain in the arse and make him more powerful than you so you can't brand him on vendetta. If a grunt superceed's your level once he kills you, you can make usage of shame to continue on with the next achievement.

Also, if you've completed all Bruz missions and have the "worse than death" skill. This will make the overlord achievement easier.

I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong but this simply never unlocks for me, I must have sent a million destroyers to kill an orc that defeated me when the vendetta mission appears, but nothing ever pops :(

Same deal for me. I can’t get the achievement to pop either. I’ve tried having a captain kill me and a grunt. Both times sending a Destroyer to kill them on the Vendetta mission does nothing. Any thoughts appreciated. Is it just glitchy?

Just noticed both this and “Vertical Mobility” actually did unlock. Just didnt pop on screen or show as completed on my in-game achievement tracker. Weird

I did this twice and failed to get the achievement.

Then I canceled the attack, marked the target for vengeance, and then commanded the Destroyer to kill the target and got the achievement right away on the Army Screen.

@Mr SpinelesS is 100% right. I'd add that you can make them your bodyguard to cancel the kill command and then command them again; should pop.

just had a grunt kill me, then when becoming a captain, he apparently killed the EXACT destroyer that I was planning to send on the vendetta mission! and he had several good immunities! I can't believe the game did this to me facepalm

Just an extra tip. I was humiliated and was able to send a Destroyer to a Vendetta mission. Achievement popped right after assigning the mission.

For this trophy you have to send a destroyer on a Vendetta Mission. First off find a Orc who has Destroyer under his name and make him your follower. Next get killed by any orcs in the game. Once he's killed you he will be promoted and a Vendetta Mission will appear. Command your new Follower to attack the orc who killed you and your Trophy will pop. Here is my video guide if you have any troubles! Happy Hunting :)

As a note for anyone later, keep doing things in-game once gaining the ability to control Captains. Bruz will continuously show up and basically unlock more functionality like Bodyguard and Kill orders. So you can't grab this immediately upon unlocking the ability to take over Captains.

To unlock this achievement you need to send a destroyer on a Vendetta mission. If you need create a Vendetta mission see the description above for "Avenged" for how to do so, but basically you will want to be killed by a random Orc to begin one. Once you have one of these missions available you will then need a 'Destroyer' class follower. If you don't have one you will need to find one and dominate them to recruit them. Once you have one go into the Army screen and press to command your Destroyer, then hover over the Orc that is responsible for your Vendetta mission and press to send your Orc to kill them. The achievement will unlock right away.

A Destroyer is a type of advanced class that some captains have, this can be checked in the army menu by pressing to see a captains traits, find and recruit one of these orcs.

Once you have recruited a Destroyer allow any random Orc to kill you to create a Vendetta Mission. Go into the army menu and press on your Destroyer and command him to kill the Orc who just killed you, this will unlock the trophy immediately.

You die at the hands of an orc captain. After death, the vendetta quest appears. From the army menu, send your recruited destroyer class orc to this quest (if there is no such orc, you will have to recruit it). The trophy drops directly into the army menu when an orc is sent on a quest

You don’t need to send a destroyer on a mission, but simply give the order to kill the orc who killed you

The captain died at the hands of an orc, the vendetta quest never appeared, he died at the hands of an ordinary orc, the quest appeared.
