    This is very easy to get. Simply start the Bright Lord DLC, after the cut scene complete the two objectives, kill the Captain that arrives, and the achievement will pop.

    Update: a few people in the comments are reporting that they had to delete their save files to get this, so if it isn’t popping you might have to do this.

    Half a KingIt's not working for me, I killed the captain several times now. Any suggestions?

    EDIT: After deleting every save files from the game and from the console (to the point where I had to adjust the brightness again), I could unlock this.

    DYN0MITE DAVESo if this achievement is glitched for you but you don't want to delete your save files permanently, then there is a simple solution that worked for me. Go into Xbox settings and make your console go offline. Then delete your Shadow of Mordor save data from local storage. Start up the game and complete the first mission of Bright Lord. Now go back into the settings and turn your Xbox back online. Start up the game again, you will be given two options. Select the older save, your cloud data. You will get the achievement and keep all your progress
