How to unlock the Gambit achievement

    From the main menu, choose to setup a custom battle. Choose Gamara as your character, make enemies army composition 100% archers and yours down to 0% archers, set the map as Haima Castle on Siege Defense, Army Size at max and choose outlaws as the enemy faction (they have no shields).

    Walk up to the left front tower and begin throwing spears into the large amount of enemies. With this setup, it took me about 4-5 spears to get a standard shot with a difficulty of 5.1
    Things that will affect the difficulty of the shot are range and placement, so if you manage to get a headshot you should achieve the desired difficulty. Restart if your spears run out.

    Im Hauptmenu wählt ihr ein individualisiertes Gefecht. Wählt Gamara als Charakter, schalte die Armeezusammenstellung des Feindes auf 100% Bogenschützen und deine eigene auf 0% Schützen. Wähle als Spieltyp Belagerung (Defensive), Burg Haima, Armeegröße des Gegners auf Maximum und als Fraktion Gesetzlose. (Diese haben keine Schilder)

    Gehe auf den linken vorderen Turm und wirf Speere in die Masse an Gegnern. Mit diesen Einstellungen brauchte ich 4-5 Speere um einen Standardtreffer mit der Schwierigkeit 5.1 zu landen. Die Schwierigkeit wird von Entfernung und Trefferzone beeinflusst. Falls du also einen Kopftreffer landest, solltest du den gewünschten Erfolg erhalten. Falls dir Speere ausgehen, starte neu.

    Thx MyDanishReality

    LLboxedYou can also do this while playing naturally.

    Don't really need a lot of points in Power Throw. I had two javelins on me and just randomly tossed them into the enemy's bulk of forces when they were walking towards my army. Vaguely try to aim, sooner or later you'll hit someone.

    You don't need to be superfar away.

    DrySpongeYTApparently, you need your shot difficulty score on to get this. I tried to get it multiple times but to no avail. Turned it back on out of a hunch and it popped first try

    I just equipped a javelin to one of my weapon slots and while fighting in the field I'd charge the enemy on horseback and start hurling javelins at them before switching back to my main. If you aim it high enough and get the timing right you can peg someone from far enough away. You'll have an easier time getting this the less cavalry both sides have and more troops the enemies have overall. I also found the desert was a great place for this tactic as it tends to be a flat battlefield with no mountains or hills.
