Have you died yet?
Your objective is to kill a captain that has killed another player in their game. You don't actually play against another player or see one during the quest, it is purely solo. It is just like taking out any captain in your own game, nothing special needed. Once you defeat the captain, you will unlock this trophy.
To unlock this achievement you need to complete an Online Vendetta. You will start to see these missions on your map once you get to Cirith Ungol and they are randomly chosen. When an Orc kills a player that Orc will then have a Vendetta put out on them and another randomly chosen player can attempt to avenge the player by killing the offending Orc.
Find one of these missions on your map and you will be transported to their world and will have the task of killing the Orc. If you are successful you will get some in-game rewards, loot and the like and this achievement. These missions are worth doing early on for the loot as it can provide you with some decent equipment, gems and money to help you along.
Those who have played the previous game will be familiar with this mechanic, they will show up when someone on your friends list or another random player is killed by an orc. A notification will show up in the middle of the screen once a mission is available, complete this mission by killing the captain, avenging the other players death.
You don't need to have anyone on your friends list actively playing the game, they show up almost all of the time whilst playing as long as you are connected to PSN.
If you encounter a difficult enemy, don’t worry, the tasks are random and next time it won’t be so difficult.
Important! Even though the trophy is online, PS+ is NOT NEEDED.
The following actions helped me correct this situation:
1. Launch the game and load the latest save.
2. Press the PS button on the gamepad.
3. Go to the settings on the console - Network - Check the Internet connection (Or you can re-establish the Internet connection and the test will take place on its own at the end of the connection).
4. Return to the game and speed up time on any Khedir (fast travel tower).
5. Fast travel to any other Khedir.
After these actions, Online Vendettas began to appear one after another and the network no longer generated an error.
