Kill 200 enemies in one playthrough. Trivial — you'll pass 200 within the first couple of chapters.

Bane of Mordor
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Kill 600 enemies in one playthrough. Also comes naturally over a full run; if you're short, replay a combat-heavy chapter via chapter select.

Keen-eyed Marksman
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Get 50 headshot kills in one playthrough. Play Eradan and aim for the head with the bow — orcs are big targets.
War-machinist
BronzeFull guideCollapseKill 150 enemies with war machines in a single playthrough.
War-machinist
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Kill 150 enemies using war machines (ballistae, catapults, mounted crossbows) in one playthrough.
Tip
The siege chapters — especially Nordinbad and Mount Gundabad — are full of war machines and endless enemy waves. Camp a ballista during a siege and rack up the count; replay a siege level if you're short.
Swift-winged Warrior
BronzeFull guideCollapseSummon Beleram 10 times in a single playthrough.
Swift-winged Warrior
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Summon the eagle Beleram 10 times in one playthrough. His summon has a cooldown — use it whenever it's up.
Tip
Careful of overlap with Eagle Savior: those 10 summons can be anywhere EXCEPT you must beat the final boss without summoning him. Get your 10 in during earlier chapters.
Many deeds, great and small
BronzeFull guideCollapseComplete 15 quests in a single playthrough.
Many deeds, great and small
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Finish 15 quests in one playthrough (main + side). A normal completionist run clears this easily; pick up the optional quests offered in Rivendell and Bree.
Herb-master
BronzeFull guideCollapseCreate 15 potions in a single playthrough.
Herb-master
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Craft 15 potions in one playthrough at crafting points using gathered herbs.
Tip
Andriel (Loremaster) handles crafting — gather herbs as you explore and brew in batches whenever you reach a crafting station.

BronzeFull guideCollapseAchieve level 10.
Defender of the North
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Reach character level 10 — happens well before the campaign's midpoint.
Champion of the North
SilverFull guideCollapseAchieve level 20.
Champion of the North
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Reach character level 20. You'll approach 20 by the end of one full playthrough; a second (difficulty) run pushes you past it comfortably.
Dragon-hoard
BronzeFull guideCollapseAmass 25,000 coins.
Dragon-hoard
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Hold 25,000 coins at once. It's a running total you must have banked simultaneously, so stop spending once you're close.
Tip
Sell surplus gear rather than dropping it, and hoard for a bit before your next shop trip. There's also a well-known merchant/loot loop in Bree the community uses to farm gold quickly.
