    An easy way to do this is to just let any orc kill you. Once he is promoted to Captain, Brand him (you get this ability towards the end of the story), and Command him to Initiate as a bodyguard to any of the Warchiefs, preferably one you can kill easily. Complete the mission and allow him to be that Warchief's bodyguard. Next, Command him to betray his Warchief. During this mission, kill the Warchief, and your branded Captain will become the new Warchief. If he left the field by now, all you have to do is summon your Branded Warchief and kill him. You can easily do this with the Dispatch ability (press down on the d-pad), or just kill him the old fashioned way since Branded orcs do not attack you even if you attack them.

    CRT JEDIMARKDont hate a game because its hard and you cant do something, for me I just cant figure out how to have the bodyguard captain betray a warchief, It does not give me the option , does he need to be in the row under the WChiefs?

    TheBigBBTo answer Andy's question a year later, you're missing the fact that the revenge icon has nothing to do with it. This is not a captain who goes from the bottom row to warchief and then dies. This has to be a non-captain who kills you, gets promoted, and then becomes warchief.

    The easiest way to get this achievement I've found is to already have a Warchief branded ahead of time. You should have a few as part of the story which makes it easy.

    It should be noted it is also easier to go for this achievement after the achievement "Lord and Master" (brand all 5 Warchiefs).

    Start by branding a Captain who had killed you before in battle (this is indicated by a red revenge marker that appears above his head in the "Sauron's Army" tab in the pause screen).

    Then go to the branded Captain and command him to take the position of "Bodyguard" for a branded Warchief you control.

    After completing the "power struggle" mission required for the bodyguard initiation go to the branded Warchief from before and kill him (this is easy as he is under your control).

    After doing this, the branded bodyguard Captain (the one that has killed you before) will automatically be promoted to the dead branded Warchief's position.

    Once the branded Captain is Warchief, go to him and kill him (again, this is easy because you control him already). The achievement should unlock upon killing him.

    RayffeSilvaThe best solution of all. I was wondering if I could use a branded Warchief in this achievement. Thanks.
