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

Easy, target one Captain. Follow him around resolving his missions by him winning the event. You'll get this.
It also seems to count when they randomly show up in another Captain's trial.

So this is when he isn't dominated and part of your army?

Yeah, kill and dominate in these descriptions are one in the same for Monolith.

Ahh that's where I have been going wrong. So he can't be part of YOUR army (you can't have dominated him). I went around yesterday helping out my orc army and must have helped the same orc out 5 or 6 times and nada....cheers!

Honestly to anyone stressing about this, save it for later in the game just in case it unlocks on its own. I got this randomly without even trying, and based on stats I'd say most others do too. Seems like if the same orc captain even spawned into the general area of a mission of any type a few times, not just nemesis, then it might actually unlock. Mine unlocked after completing a blood brother kill mission on a map where I hadn't even done any nemesis missions prior to that.

You can simply start one of the nemesis missions: "Draw out OrcName by killing his followers" and encounter the orc to trigger their dialogue, then run away until you leave the mission area which will cause you to abandon mission. Go back to same mission marker to restart mission. Do 3 times and achievement unlocks.

Go back to same mission marker close by to restart mission. Do 3 times and the trophy unlocks.

To unlock this achievement you need to encounter the same Orc three times during Nemesis missions without killing him. This is somewhat finicky but it is very likely you will unlock this without trying for it as I did just playing the missions between Orcs. If you don't get lucky however you will need to try and set this up by first getting yourself killed to create a Nemesis mission if you need one, then go and begin it. You can beat the Orc until they are broken and then dominate them, but DO NOT recruit them, instead shame them so that they remain an enemy Orc, then repeat twice more to encounter them three times total without killing them (or recruiting them).

You should combine this trophy with If You Can't Beat Them, since you will dominating an orc for that after encountering him 3 times this trophy will unlock at the same time.

We chose a task in the form of a red icon with a crown (or a dragon’s paw, it’s not clear). If you beat him, you run away until the game says “you are leaving the mission area.” You are leaving. This quest appears again. We go again and do this 3 times.

Done together with "If You Can't Win". We died 3 times from 1 orc, lowered its level and received this trophy. The next time we go, we recruit him.

To prevent your allies from saving you from death, you can disable the help of allies in the game settings, this will be the lowest point.

If you have already cleared the entire game, then start a new one

As noted above, yes, it can be combined with a trophy (If You Can't Beat Them / If you can't win...). But to be more precise: first you need to merge with any ordinary orc, then merge with this orc twice during a vendetta, and already on the third vendetta, do not die, but disgrace this orc...
