Introduction

 

Lord of the Rings: War in the North is a RPG/ Hack n’ Slash. The achievement list is very straight forward and easy to complete. For this game you will be required to complete the game 3 times one each difficulty, there isn’t a difficulty select you simply start on normal and after you beat that it increases it to heroic then legendary. There are a few missable achievements but nothing to be worried about since you will be playing through the main story 3 separate times! My first playthrough was by far my longest and each after that got quicker and quicker.

 

Step 1: Abbreviated playthrough

 

 

**I will add some tips and things that you should try to get out of the way during your first playthough.**

 

**if you’d like me to add anything specific please just ask or shoot me a message!**

When one of your party members loses all health, they will go down on the ground. When this happens, run to them and press :xbut: to revive them. This can be done co-op or with AI.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1403/-lqFew==.jpg Sudden Fury10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.pngPerform 3 critical hits within 10 seconds.

 

A critical hit can be initiated when you’ve done X amount of damage. You will see a triangle appear above his head hit (Y) to initiate the attack. Depending on his health you will either perform a critical hit OR an execution. Since this game does have stats mainly a critical stat I am unsure if those normal critical attacks will count towards this achievement or not.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1403/-yOEJw==.jpg Strength of Our Alliance25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.pngSlay one enemy together with 2 other players.

 

Please note that a number of people have reported that this achievement can be glitchy. What is required to get this achievement is for all 3 of your party members to execute a critical attack (hitting Y) at the SAME enemy when he is vulnerable (when the yellow triangle is above his head). If all of you perform this attack at the same time you will do a fellowship attack (the text will come up on the screen). Please note this achievement does not require 3 human players to get!

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1403/UP2Y1MQ=.jpg Seeker20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.pngDiscover 25 secrets in a single playthrough.

 

This achievement is best done with at least one other player, preferably the ranger as I found he had the most secrets to find, dwarf being second and the Lore master last. Each secret is different based on what class you are playing. For the ranger they are hidden stash left behind by other rangers, for dwarfs they are false walls, and lastly for Lore masters they are rune warded entryways. I got this while playing with someone else so both players discoveries when towards the achievement. I haven’t checked to see if you can replay chapters with different characters and have this count towards the total (I’d assume so but we should check!)

Elfstones are gems that can go into slotted gear whether it is a weapon or armor. The gems are for either category but not for both! simply slot one of them into either your current gear or just a random piece!

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1403/UPsXLYY=.jpgRelentless20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.pngWhile in Hero Mode, perform a streak of 50 hits.

 

Simply get a 50 HIT combo with any character this does include all ranged and magic attacks. to initiate "hero mode" you need to preform a critical strike on an enemy. Do this by hitting (Y) when there is a triangle over there head (when you are in range it will be yellow, when you are out of range it will be white.) Rolling is your friend for this achievement, and remember if you go to long without hitting someone it will reset.

All characters have some sort of AOE (area of effect) spell/attack, but I personally found this super easy with the lore master as she has the most AOE spells to use.

This achievement IS unmissble, but it isn't really story related. You will run into a snow troll during a quest in the Gundabad area. Kill the snow troll after he makes his appearance.

Every class has a set number of spells that you have to physically press buttons to activate, these are those skills simply acquire all of them. There is a respec token that you can purchase from every town vender for 16,000 gold.

 

Ranger: Evasion, Ranger Strike, Cleave, Dual Strike, Assail, Heavy Shot, Stunning Shot, Volley.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1403/-HuMzg==.jpgLike a Thunderbolt20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.pngDeal 3000 damage with a single ranged strike.

 

Straight forwards, deal 3000 damage in one strike, this will come with natural progression as your weapons get stronger. I got this one my first playthrough and by my 3rd I was dealing over 20,000 work of damage with some of my maxed out skills 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1403/-J1p5g==.jpgFell-handed20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.pngDeal 1500 damage in a single melee strike.

 

This will most likely come when dealing a killing blow to a downed enemy. once again it will come with natural progression as your weapons get stronger.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1403/UPx4LFc=.jpgLiving Shield20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.pngAbsorb 25,000 total damage during the course of 1 level.

 

Please note that this means damage TAKEN in a single level. There are a couple good strategies for this achievement. Personally I when to chapter 1 there will be an area where you fall through the floor into the sewers area; this is where they introduced goblin enemies. I simply removed all of my armor except helm and chest STOCKED up on potions and let them beat on my still this popped. If you are using the lore master it will save some money by using her sanctuary spell and healing spell instead of a potion all the time.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1403/UP9VPuw=.jpgMany deeds, great and small20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.pngComplete 15 quests in a single playthrough.

 

Not all quests are noted to be side quests feel like they are set aside as side quests, during every main storyline mission you will want to check your quest log to make sure you are completely all the side quests that pop up as you are going through the main story. NPC’s in town will also give you side quests.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1403/UP0BLQs=.jpgWar-machinist20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.pngKill 150 enemies with war machines in a single playthrough.

 

You will have numerous times you are able to get on a war machine and kill enemies this will come through natural progression. Please note that some have mentioned that this and others aren’t restricted to one playthrough that they do roll over into your other playthoughs. Gackt has confirmed that this does roll over into your other playthroughs

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1403/UP+53XE=.jpgWell-arrayed25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.pngEquip a complete magical armor set.

 

This was by far the most annoying achievement for me IF you hadn’t preordered it and gotten the complimentary armor set from various retailers you will be tasked with collecting it yourself. My advice start on playthrough one, keep everything that says it is a part of a set, this you can check by looking on the description and scrolling to the bottom, it will say “stalker, warlord, etc, etc.” weapons, neck are not a part of any set. You must EQUIP the armor after you have gotten the complete set.

This achievement is easiest to do with the ranger. it is possible to get it with any character simply hold (LT) to aim with your weapon, then shoot them in the head (depending on your damage you may have to hit them in the head a few times)

You summon beleram by expending a consumable feather that you can collect from chests, enemies and jars. When you can first summon him they will provide you with a few to start with just hit (LT + A) when aiming at an enemy to call him to attack

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1403/-QKNkg==.jpgWarrior Exemplar25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.pngFor one character unlock every skill that provides a modification to War Cry, Sanctuary or Evasion.

 

Each character has an active skill that you add modifications to that you can use at will. This achievement can be gotten at anytime by simply using a re spec token to get the needed skills.

 

Lore master: Healing light, Sanctuary master, Wrath of the eldar and Forceful fire.

Ranger: Onslaught, Respite, Smoke and flame, Elusive for and Stealth mastery.

Refer to “Champion of the North

Get experience by killing, completing main and side quests. This will come easily in your first playthrough.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1403/+dlnNw==.jpgHerb-master10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.pngCreate 15 potions in a single playthrough.

 

To pick herbs you have to be the lore master, these herbs are scattered ALL over the areas you will traveling and will have a white aura of sorts surrounding them to indicate that you can pick them up (by pressing (A))! once you’ve gotten some go to your inventory and as long as there is an little hammer n’ anvil in the corner of the picture of the herb you will be able to mix it with something else(by pressing (A) and moving the icon over another icon) to make something.

This will come through natural progression, simply kill 600 enemies

This isn’t on hand and spent combined! you need to have a total of 25,000 on you for this achievement to pop, personally I wouldn’t worry about this achievement at all by the end of my third playthrough I had nearly 1,000,000 gold pieces ( stuff sells for more the high level you are)

There are two types of chests brown wooden ones that are common, and gold gilded ones. The gold ones will always produce the best loot. This should easily be acquired in a single playthrough if needed I will write up some locations, but if I remember right there are at least 3 on the first level!

Please note that his achievement has been a little glichy for some (me included) where upon completing the quest it won’t actually let you turn it in, I simply re-did the quest on my last playthrough. The locations of the 7 scrolls are fairly easy but there is 1 or 2 that could be missed so I will link this little walk through

To unlock heroic and legendary you have to complete it on normal and heroic respectively. After you have completed the game choose your character and restart the story, it should in the top left of the screen note what difficulty you are playing on. please note that it should automatically increase the difficulty to the next hardest setting, it will also act like a new game plus!

Just wonder killing what kind of enemy will pop up a X above its head? I didn't see any X above monster's head so far.

 

when I originally wrote that it was from memory, from 2 weeks ago. I now have the game again in my hands and I've corrected the mistake! it is a yellow triangle that will appear above their heads and you hit Y to execute a critical attack.

On tne Relentless achievement you've said that spells dont work, this isnt right as the Loremasters RT+X spell does increase your combo counter, ive had + 10 from one casting of it.

 

Another product of a 2 week old memory, I will fix that as well, there is a condition though. You have to be in "Hero mode" I may once again be wrong so correct me if I am but you have to do a critical strike to start your "hero mode" then these spells will count towards your combo.

Yes that is correct. Could you explain to me the warrior exemplar achievement, i really don't understand how to get it.

 

 

Also for the achievement 'the lidless eye' you provdided the wrong link, the link actually provides a method on how to get the 'living shield' achievement.

For example for the warrior exemplar achievement for the lore master you would need to get Sanctuary, then get the spells that modify it: healing light, Sanctuary Master, Wrath of the eldar and Forceful Fire. which are spread around all three trees. This achievement can be gotten at anytime by simply using a re spec token to get the needed skills.

 

Also for the achievement 'the lidless eye' you provdided the wrong link, the link actually provides a method on how to get the 'living shield' achievement.

 

Fixed! :D

So...warrior exemplar is the opposite to battle-master? in that you don't choose any of the powers that give you abilities to press?
