How to unlock the Burning Shadow achievement

    *** This can only be done in the DLC; The Bright Lord ***

    Shadow Brand is a skill your character will start the game that effectively replaces the shadow strike.

    To achieve, simply HOLD cn_LT and aim at your target, then PRESS cn_B. You will be transported to your target and the target will be branded automatically. Repeat this action 20 times for the achievement to unlock.

    Remember that in this game there is NO FOCUS; so you will have to be quick to aim and attack! If you are struggling, consider doing it while you have the power of the ring activated as this slows time.

    MattricusNo problem! That's the issue with the GOTY edition; its not clear at all where the achievements are!

    BarrwgInterestingly this popped way before 20 for me. Nearer the 10 mark.

    Warboy925You are forced to shadow brand 9 Uruks anyways in one of the "ring" missions and another 10 in another mission.....its a pain without focus.......

    On a side note, you stated in your solution, "replaces the shadow strike", it actually doesn't replace it, its just another move that got added, you still have shadow strike, shadow strike kill, and now, the shadow brand, just a heads up
