    Previous solutions did not help, even tried for hours… So got mine. :) This WAS my last achievement. I finished the game, I am on the max level 60, but you can use the method earlier, just at the end, it is very easy with this. The achievement requires a captain, but NOT enemy. This is important. dance

    In short: Mount an olog, while one of your follower captain bleed out, so dies.

    1. You must resurrect a captain - Y on dead follower in ARMY screen, level doesn’t matter. Important to resurrect, because the undead Captain can not betrayal, if attack him. Make him bodyguard.

    2. Change your bow to a low one. So if you missed the shot you can try immediately, because don’t make much damage and/or fire/poison effect which avoid to jump/ride the Olog. I used a level 18 Legendary.

    3. Go to Gorogoth Fortress – maybe other fortresses good as well or somewhere you can find an Olog. In the fortress no one will attcak you (IF THE FORTRESS IS YOURS!), so easier. Find a chained Olog, there are many (red icons on the small map, left bottom). Tip: kill your followers near it, if want (skill tree bottom right skill „Destroy followers” to explode heads), so they won’t attack the olog upon release and won’t disturb You to aim/jump on it.

    4. Summon the bodyguard and hit until bleeding (won’t betrayal :) ). The bleeding time is 60 secs. The „Ride on the Olog” is 10 secs (+ release and aim time). So when less than a quarter left of the bleeding (~10 secs the best, so you have time for 2nd shot if 1st missed/can not jump on Olog), release the Olog (RB next to him), aim, shoot his head with a fully charged arrow and hit RB to mount the olog. For this, you MUST stand near him! If you are mount the olog, don’t have to go anywhere and don’t have to be near the Bleeding Bodyguard, because he will die by all means, and if one of your followers bleed out the system will shows you, even you are on the other side of the world. :) So just wait for the achievement. Achievement pop. headspin Got it my second try! (On first try my level 62 arrow made fire effect and the olog pushed away, so can not get on him)

    If somehow you missed it, just start over, the undead can be ressurrect over and over again for free. I recommend to try this just later in the game or at the end.

    SpoolinChaosTook two attempts to get this to work, but it does work. A better location is the rear of the fortress on Gorgoroth, there's a ton of captives there and it's easy to clear out with making your followers heads explode before pulling out your body guard.

    Phoenix C6430/jan/2022 game v1.24 still works. the hardest part was not getting ambushed TWICE while trying this ;)

    Clinically DaftFor anyone who's having dificulty actually mounting the Olog, headshot them (I used fully charged shots) from close range and then immediately walk even closer (almost touching) while spamming RB (whatever the default "grab" button is for your system).

    I found that waiting for a prompt (or to see stars around their head) takes most of the window you get to mount. Practice a couple times on captive Ologs behind the Gorgorath fort, and once you're sure of yourself, do the whole undead captain thing mentioned above. Cheers.

    You will need an enemy Olog captain in the army menu with the Gang of Ologs in their Bonuses tab. You can use a worm to find intel on captains, or shun an Olog captain follower to turn them against you. You can even use loot box cards to summon the follower you need if necessary.

    Now, you'll want to mark the Olog and find them in the game. Approach him or enter the mission and check to see if he has his gang of Ologs nearby. Even with this bonus, it is not guaranteed. If there is a nearby Olog, you can begin.

    The goal here is to get the Olog Captain to almost no health without killing them. You'll need to have them under 5%, but the lower the better. Once the captain is low on health, get close to an Olog, headshot them with an Elf-Shot to daze them and immediately mount them. Once on top, ride the Olog and steer him into the captain while shanking him. If done correctly, the mounted Olog will do enough damage to kill the captain, gaining the achievement.

    If you fail to kill him and there are no remaining Ologs or yo're scared that something else might kill him, dominate him and shame him to save him for later and also bring his level down making your next attempt even easier. Repeat until necessary.

    KennyannydennyI encountered a random Olog captain. I then run towards another Olog and started hitting him with arrows. I hit him with my poisonous sword a couple of times, and mounted the other Olog. I couldn't even turn around or the captain was killed by the poison of my sword, and I got the achievement.

    SPΛΙΝΤΞRCΞΛΛI did this when fighting the Warlord of Gorgoroth. He had an olog with him and some other orcs. The good thing is that his gank is constantly respawing.

    VanTran91Gave Gang of Ologs to follower but he loses it somehow. Not 100% work.

    I managed to do this one without much difficulty on the Tûr Celebrimbor mission (in Lithlad). You fight two captains (one is an Olog with the Soft Head weakness) in a very small enclosed area. Just clear out all the grunts, whittle the orc captain down until he's Broken, shoot the Olog captain to stun him, climb aboard, and just keep walloping the broken captain until he dies. I only had to mount him twice after breaking the orc, so it was pretty straightforward.

    Half a KingManaged to do this on the first try, but note that you may need to retry the challenge a couple of times, because there isn't always an Olog captain. Retrying will spawn two new captains, just repeat it until one of them is an Olog. Great solution.

    JocherWow great solution. This worked perfectly for me.

    SettlingCrib503Will come back to this and it sounds much more simple than the other solutions.
