    I reccomend doing this towards the end of the game so that you have the majority of abilities available to you, for this method you will need:

    Fire Arrow (Wraith Ability)
    Double Charge (Ranger Ability)

    First find a Berserker, they have two weapons as oppose to one so should easily be distinguished.

    Next, get your combo in the red so that you can fire a flaming arrow.

    Make sure the Berserker is right next to you when you shoot otherwise you won't be fast enough.

    As soon as you shoot the Berserker, press cn_Y + cn_B at the same time to execute him. This must be done very quickly otherwise it will not register as a kill, so just spam the execution.

    Ivan610I had to remove all the epic runes from my sword to get this to pop.

    x1c1cleEliteAssassin13's location worked perfect. my method: remote stealth kill first, then kill N-1 with arrows. for the last. grab, throw into fire, active sword power, execute. took me 4 tires, and probably 7 minutes. very reliable respawn.

    SettlingCrib503This method is definitely the easiest. For some reason it didn’t pop at first when I did this in a stronghold. However, I found two Uruk’s in the open and one of them was a berserker when I did this a second time on him it worked.

    This is the easiest and quickest way to get this achievement without having to rely on luck: make sure you have the "Storm of Urfael" power, either by gaining the ability or by having the Epic Rune.

    First, power up "Storm of Urfael" by executing Uruks with the cn_Y+cn_B execute power - you'll see it's ready when the crescent next to the Sword of Urfael icon is full. Then locate a berserker near a fire: in wraith mode they have two axes on their back. Headshot any other Uruks around the berserker with arrows. Once the non-berserkers are dead, first trigger "Storm of Urfael" (If you try to trigger "Storm of Urfael" after throwing the berserker through a fire, it takes more time and makes it harder) then grab the berserker and throw him through the fire and execute him. Done. With this method, nothing is left to chance.

    This is a very short vid I put together that shows how easy it is:

    EthigyGreat solution. Definitely the best method.

    RepentantHades7It's "Storm of Urfael" not "Sword of Urfael".

    PhillipWendellThank you for the video - didn't know which one was a Berserker.

    This is a bit tricky unless you follow some simple steps.

    First you need to find a Berserker who is near a fire, they're easy to spot in wraith mode as they are the big blue guys with two red swords on their back. Once you've found a Berserker and his buddies near a fire (found spread at random all over the map) kill everyone but the Berserker (making sure you don't touch the Berserker at all) then beat on him until you have enough charge for an execution. Now grab him cn_RB while standing near the fire and release him - this should automatically throw him at the fire. As soon as he catches fire perform the execution cn_Y + cn_B and it should pop.

    Doing this any other way seemed to leave too much to chance, either he'd die when I was using him to charge up, or I'd get hit by a flying weapon and loose my charge.
