Shoot the German flag with the cannon at Vimy's ridge

How to unlock the King of the Hill 145 achievement in Valiant Hearts: The Great War - Definitive Guide

You can load the chapter and level from the main menu if you missed it. I did after I finished the game.

Load up Chapter 4 - Vimy Ridge.

Right near the start, after you fire the first rocket at a pillbox, you'll follow the commander through gunfire from two pillboxes and an airplane. Then you'll come another rocket, this one you have to adjust to match two German artillery units shooting at you and your men. This is where the German flag is; between the two artillery positions.

The left position is at 60
The flag is at 35
The right position is at 10

You should see the flag being taken out from the position you actually fire the rocket from, and it should pop within five seconds of it being shot.

Easy 55G!

Edit: If you're having trouble getting the achievement to pop:

"I've tried it now 10-15 times and nothing.
Then I just closed the game completely and restarted it, tired it again and blop; first attempt." - II W I K U II

(I'd like more feedback on this to see if it was just a lucky one-off, or if it does seem a viable solution for people it isn't popping for)

I found that the achievement unlocked for me on my first shot. I didn't move the cannon at all. I left it in the default position it starts in which I believe is at 60.

Thanks. I didn't even know this achievement existed until I checked the list on TA after finishing the game. It's actually annoyingly simple, and I believe some people may miss it, as I did.

I don't understand why this is being downvoted, how about leaving a comment on this with a way to improve it if it's not up to your standard?

That's strange, it popped after my first attempt. Were you always shooting the flag first, the turrets first or a different order every time?

Weird. I'm pretty sure I remember shooting the flag first. I wouldn't have thought it would make a difference, but I don't actually know.

I've tried it now 10-15 times and nothing.
Then I just closed the game completly and restarted it, tired it again and blop; first attempt.

Maybe you could add this to the guide, for ppl who have the same problem.

I destroyed the left position, and then I got the achievement right after blowing up the flag. Didn't even destroy the right position. Thanks!

That's strange if it unlocked at 60, as that is the position of one of the German guns. It seems like it's a little bit of a dodgy achievement.

This wasn't popping for me after I completed the game (tried at-least 5 times).
I quit the game, restarted (as suggested above) and it popped first time.
I also let the cut scene play prior to going for the achievement, maybe that helped too.

This achievement can be completed either during the campaign or afterwards by replaying chapters....

Chapter 4 - Wooden Crosses.
Level - Vimy's Ridge.

Below is my video from the start of the level up to and including when the King of the Hill achievement can be unlocked.

Engage with large wheel/valve by pressing A and rotate by using the left thumbstick - a small image will appear on screen showing the co-ordinates that you are aiming at.

Bunker one - 60.
Bunker two - 10.
German flag - 35 (you MUST destroy this to unlock achievement).

Once destroyed achievement should pop straight away.

For this in the mission Vimy Crest of chapter 4, you must shoot the German flag with the canyon. For this select cordinate 35 to destroy it and get it.
You can watch how to do it in the video.

This is a pretty easy achievement and Laz's solution above is great. For some reason though if you want a video walkthrough of the achievement, here you go! Get that easy 55g

Valiant Hearts: The Great War (Xbox One) – Achievement – King of The Hill

Shoot the German flag with the cannon at Vimy's ridge (Secret Achievement)

This is obtainable on Chapter 4 on the 'Vimy's Ridge' level. You will come to a point where you can adjust the direction of an artillery cannon. You are meant to change the aim to '10' to destroy one bunker and '60' to destroy the second bunker to progress with the level, however if you adjust the aim to '35' and pull the lever to fire, you will destroy a German flag, thus giving you the achievement.

During the Vimy Ridge mission in Chapter 4, you will come to a section where you need to blow up two guns with artillery. The two guns are located either side of a building with a flag flying on top. On the artillery you need to use there will be a wheel that adjusts the aim, don't move this and instead fire straight away. Instead of hitting any of the guns, it will instead hit the flag.

This achievement is unlocked during Chapter 4-2: Vimy Ridge.

As you play through this chapter you will eventually come to a section where you need to blow up two guns with your cannon. The cannon is controlled by a wheel that will allow you to aim at the two artillery guns. Before you touch the wheel, fire off a round and it will hit the German flag that is on top of the house between the guns, unlocking the achievement.

This is for Chapter 4: Vimy Ridge where you play as Freddie.
For this trophy, you will encounter 2 German artilleries and a German Flag (Which is your target).

You have 2 machinery. One is a periscope at the far right, which helps where you want to aim at close awareness and has the degree below.
The degree for the flag is approximately to the left of 40 degrees (42 degrees exact).
You then need to go to your artillery gun which on the left and you can use the wheel to adjust the degree of your aim and simply pull the lever to fire and you should destroy The German Flag and crowning you King of The Hill 145.

During the Vimy Ridge mission in Chapter 4, you will come to a section where you need to blow up two guns with your own artillery. The guns will be on the left and right of a building with a flag flying above it. On your end you need to use your cannon to hit the flag. Nearby is a wheel that you can turn to aim the cannon, however, if you don't make any adjustments to it at all and just fire the cannon by pulling the lever, then you will hit the flag and get the trophy.

Receive in Chapter 4. Part - Vimy Ridge. As soon as you reach the gun, immediately pull the lever, the trophies will fall out. And then run to the binoculars. I got it when I went through this part for the second time, because... the first time I immediately ran to the binoculars and began pointing the weapon at the coordinates.

During the mission Vimy - Chapter 4, you will need to fire at enemy fortifications from a cannon. You can immediately pull the lever and shoot the flag, or run and aim for fun Video to help.
