    It Came From Within Achievement/Trophy Guide

    Step 1: During Act 2 you will meet Bruz who will teach you how the domination ability works and how you can take over other captains minds to use them in your army. Once this has been taught, go out and kill OR recruit the 2 warchiefs of this area. I recommend just killing them.

    Step 2: Once they are dead you need to recruit some captains and then in the nemesis menu, command them by selecting cn_Y and hover over the dead warchief and select Infiltrate. This will now start up a new side mission called Infiltration.

    Step 3: Head to the event and watch your captain fight another for the spot of spy.

    Step 4: Now the warchiefs spots have been filled with your captains, start the assault on the fortress and the achievement/trophy will unlock instantly.

    Here is a video of me doing it.

    RyazTheRastaFor anyone who missed this achievement during the story and hasn't finished the shadow wars, if you lose a fort you can get this achievement using the method above. Experimented with it today and it worked perfectly

    SweetArkhaneThank you! I didn't know I had to spy a dead warchief, I was wondering why it wasn't a bodyguard who was promoted to Warchief like in Shadow of Mordor...

    SettlingCrib503This achievement proved to be the biggest SOB so far for me. I lost the fortress in Gorgoroth during shadow wars and decided to go ahead and get this done. I had to infiltrate 6 warchief spots starting from scratch as I only had my previous warchief and another captain left after losing the fort. (Both of which were pretty underleveled now). I decided to kill the warchiefs and dominate their bodyguards which gave me 12 captains. At this point I was pretty confident this was going to be a breeze. The infiltration missions is where it got ridiculous though. Even though all of the captains I used had high levels, they were always paired up against someone who was higher level, or the same level with good support. I was even unlucky enough to have one of my captains lose to an enemy that was no joke 15 levels under him. At this point I just decided to go around and shame all the captains until they were low enough level that all of my captains could beat them easily. I even went out of my way to upgrade all my captains support and get them to my level just to be sure they would win. This took me around 3 hours and I was worried that after all of this the achievement wouldn’t unlock properly so I went ahead and power cycled my Xbox just to be sure.
