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

As you progress through the game you will complete the Knife in the Dark story mission and unlock the Death Threat skill. Equip it and find a worm (marked by a green icon) and interrogate him to bring up the Nemesis System menu. Find an enemy and issue a Death Threat using Y. Issuing a death threat will cause the enemy to be a higher level but also drop higher level gear. After this, a new mission will show up on your map, and you'll need to complete it. The mission will be unique to the area and enemy. You'll need to follow the mission to lure the Nemesis out, and then take him down to earn the achievement and unlock gear.

Achievement won't pop for some reason! I have followed video and have killed the target I sent death threat to. It even said death threat honoured and I got my rewards but no achievement. I have repeated this 4 times. 🤔

@worsnop87, I think there have been some issues with Xbox Live preventing pops/unlocks. I had a similar problem with "Wild Things" which just ended up randomly unlocking 18 hours later.

Same as others have mentioned. Have successfully honored two separate death threats and no achievement. Must be buggy.

I'm having the same problem. Death threat issued and honored, and no achievement popped - it doesn't say 100% or anything either.
Does the target need to be a certain level? I'm level 13 and sent the death threat to a level 4 captain.

About half way through act 1 you will get the Death Threat ability. You will have to posses a worm and then you will have the option to issue a death threat on a captain. Complete the new mission it has given you and by the end you will kill the captain and unlock your achievement.

Promise Keeper Achievement/Trophy Guide

During Act 1, you will make your way to a new area and the first main mission here will be called Knife in the Dark. You will want to complete this mission and then you will automatically unlock the ability Death Threat. Now that you have this ability you will want to find a Worm which one of the green marked enemies on the map which you can interrogate for more information on other captains. Once you select the interrogate option, you can use the Death Threat option by selecting cn_Y which will then allow you to select any captain you want to send it to.

Once the Death Threat has been sent, an exclusive mission will show up for that specific boss. Be warned however, as once you send the threat the captain will become stronger but will also drop better loot once killed. Kill him, and the achievement/trophy is yours.

Here is a video guide for this:

Really easy trophy. Just interrogate a worm, hover over an enemy captain you already have intel on and click triangle (issue death threat) then simply kill that captain and bingo trophy is yours.

To unlock this achievement you need to issue a death threat to a captain and then follow through by killing them. First you will want to find a Wyrm, these are the Orcs that have a green symbol above their heads and you use to gain intel on the Captains. Once you have the intel on a Captain, find a Wyrm and dominate them then use them to send a death threat to the captain that you have discovered. Then hunt that Captain down either by starting any mission they are tied to or by finding them on the map and kill them to unlock this achievement.

You unlock the ability to dominate Orcs during the story so you won't be able to attempt this until you have unlocked it.

For this you need to interrogate a worm, highlighted by a green icon, then command him with and issue a Death Threat to any captain by hovering over one and pressing . Play the mission that appears and kill the captain to unlock the trophy.

On the second map, when you capture a coward orc (marked with a green diamond), it will be possible not to receive information from him, but to send him to the orc leader with a “black mark”. After this, kill the leader to whom the messenger was sent with a threat and the trophy is yours.
