    Almost completely unmissable.

    You will encounter your first rune trial near the beginning of Mission 4 "Beginning of the End". You will climb up a series of platforms, once near the top you can jump across and head through a tunnel with a rune/portal appearing directly in front of you as you bear right. Head over to it and activate it with cn_RS.

    You will be taken to a rune trial where you have 10 seconds to kill 15 imps with a shotgun. Don't worry this is easier than it sounds, since you gain 2 seconds for each imp kill with the shotgun, and 4 seconds for each glory kill. I managed this with 8 seconds to spare without even trying. Complete the trial and the achievement is yours.

    Lord Von ChimpJust wanted to add, (for me atleast) the achievement didn't pop until after the next loading screen, which too a while

    WebDevil 666I'm going to assume that's down to Microsoft's amazingly laggy achievement system. Although it seems to be much better lately.

    mrbellekI've run into 3 Runes so far and unlocked 2, but this hasn't popped for me. :(

    red MANS pryD3Yeah the same thing happened to. I'm gonna have to assume I have to make a brand new save and do the rune challenge(s) all over again. Luckily I loce this game and find a lot of enjoyment out of it so it's not biggie.

    Bamfs34I think this needs to be flagged as buggy. I have 4 runes but didn't unlock this achievement.

    FarmYardGaming1Doom is hilariously buggy, I got the achievement for upgrading a rune over 12 hours after actually doing it. If it doesn't show up, expect it to do so later.

    RunninFromTreesBuggy for me as well sadly, hopefully it won’t be 12 hours
