How to unlock the Righteous Crusade achievement in Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - Definitive Guide
As with all things Vermintide, this is best attempted when you're suitably equipped and tactically aware of both scripted and random encounters. Do not attempt this until you can finish missions at Champion difficulty
I highly recommend getting to level 20 before starting this, as it is at this point you may unlock talents relating to temporary health gains on kills, which can tip the scales against large mobs of basic infantry on higher difficulties, where resourxes are more scarce.
In this mission, there are scripted two boss fights:
The Gatekeeper
Rasknitt+Deathrattler
In the first boss fight, you'll want to use stun abilities such as Valiant Charge and Holy Fervour (Foot Knight & Zealot respectively) to stop the Chaos Spawn from regaining health when it grabs a hero.
In the final boss fight, Deathrattler should be your utmost priority. Use available cover as much as possible, as his two rattling guns can otherwise devastate both you and your allies. A good strategy is to avoid his charges and trap him in a corner focusing on you while you or your allies deal damage to him - his sluggish movement after charging provides an excellent window for DPS.
There is not much else to say beyond the use of side-dodging (+/) and conservation of health items is paramount. Also, it's best to attempt this either in a full lobby, or in a private lobby with bots. The biggest danger to your odds of success are allies dissappearing as they are swapped out in the middle of an encounter.

As of patch 1.6, I just found a glitch in the Skittergate level that you can use on Champion (and Legendary) to make the final fight against Deathrattler/Rasknitt (aka the part that most people wipe on) much, much easier:
After exiting the Skittergate, when your party drops down, have one player immediately head to the corner to your immediate left. In so long as that player stays put in the corner, the trash mobs will never spawn. This will make killing Rasknitt and Deathrattler infinitely easier.
A character with a shield is a good choice for the "corner stander" (i.e. Bardin or Kreuber), as they can block Deathrattler's machine gun fire with their shield. Unshielded characters will have to dodge dance if they're the target.
