After completing both Total War: Warhammer I and II and all its achievements, I decided to create this guide for the final game in the trilogy. Don’t forget to rate if you enjoy the guide, and comment if you have any feedback or tips.

Introduction

The guide has been split up into different categories for all the achievements, spoiler-free. Use CTRL + F to search for achievements if you have a hard time finding a specific one. Note that more achievements will be added in future updates.

GENERIC ACHIEVEMENTS

Legendary Strategist

Win a singleplayer campaign on Legendary difficulty.

The hardest difficulty in the game, no saving is allowed besides autosaves. You do not need to set battle difficulty to Legendary, it can be whatever. I wouldn’t rush this achievement as there will be plenty of content updates in the future which will most likely encourage you to replay a faction, which is a good opportunity to try and get this.

Tear Down the Walls

Raze 1 settlement.

Burn the World

Raze 30 settlements during a single campaign.

A Steady Stream

Have a gross income of 5,000 per turn.

Well-Heeled

Have a gross income of 20,000 per turn.

Your Coffers Overfloweth

Have a gross income of 60,000 per turn.

As of now, I do not know which faction is the best at attaining a lot of income. Comment if you have any tips.

Into the Aethyr

Enter the Realm of Chaos using a Rift.

└ Diplomacy

Common Cause

Have a military alliance with 5 other factions at the same time.

League of Nations

Have a military alliance with 10 other factions at the same time.

This used to be quite easy in previous titles when factions would gain the Shield of Civilization trait due to Archaon the Everchosen spawning. It’s possible once combined map for WH3 is released this trait will return.

Commercial Comforts

Have a trade agreement with 5 other factions at the same time.

Trading Nation

Have a trade agreement with 10 other factions at the same time

Arms Appropriated

Borrow an army from a military ally.

Forward Position

Construct an allied outpost in a military ally’s settlement.

└ Defeating Princes

The Gatekeeper

Defeat the Daemon Prince at the Brass Citadel in the realm of Khorne.

The Gardener

Defeat the Daemon Prince at the Mansion of the Plaguelord in the realm of Nurgle.

The Courtesan

Defeat the Daemon Prince at the Palace of Slaanesh in the realm of Slaanesh.

The Librarian

Defeat the Daemon Prince at the Impossible Fortress in the realm of Tzeentch.

└ Lords, Heroes & Magic Items

White Hat

Have 1 level 10 Hero.

Centres of Excellence

Have 2 level 20 Heroes at the same time.

The Height of Valour

Have 3 level 30 Heroes at the same time.

Once a hero reaches level 20, they can have the Immortality skill, which means they always end up wounded instead of dying, meaning you can’t lose the hero. Before that, you need to make sure they stay alive. You can always put 1-3 heroes into your strongest army and have them steamroll throughout the world.

Certain heroes also grant experience per turn as a skill called Training, which can be beneficial when leveling up.

Rising Power

Have a level 10 Lord.

Dominating Force

Have a level 20 Lord.

Peak Nobility

Have a level 30 Lord.

Legendary Lords can never die, so keep using one of them throughout a long campaign and it will eventually reach level 30.

Sensational Steed

Have a special mount.

Elevated Excellence

Have 3 special mounts.

Many lords and heroes can unlock a mount via their skill tree, usually after a specific level threshold. The skill in the tree should be located at the very top, not connected to any of the trees.

└ Prologue

The End of the Beginning

Complete the Prologue.

Without rushing, it took me around 3.5 hours to complete the prologue.

Royal Ranks Ramped

During the Prologue, fill Yuri’s army with units.

Yuri’s army needs to have 20 units. Kossars are really cheap to maintain and purchase.

Enchanted Arsenal

During the Prologue, equip Yuri with every type of magic item.

The types are Arcane Item, Armour, Talisman and a Weapon. Finding one of each should be trivial, but if not make sure to check your quests to see if they grant you any of the magic items.

Self-Improvement

During the Prologue, spend 10 skill points.

The 10 points does not have to be on the same character.

Two Noble Heads

During the Prologue, recruit a second Lord.

You can always disband the lord after you recruit them, if a second army is not what you need.

A Mortal Wound Inflicted

During the Prologue, win your first battle in the Chaos Wastes.

You will get this automatically when playing through the prologue.

Reverser of Ruin

During the Prologue, capture a settlement in the Chaos Wastes.

You will get this automatically when playing through the prologue.

Establish & Advance

During the Prologue, construct 5 buildings.

Spires to the Sky

During the Prologue, fully upgrade a settlement.

The ability to gain growth and upgrade settlements occur just after capturing a hostile settlement after gaining control of Fort Dervingard.

For the settlement which you want to fully upgrade, try to build as soon as possible buildings that grant growth, in order to speed up the process of which you can upgrade the settlement. Keep in mind the settlement does not need to reach level 5, only its own max level. Minor settlements cap at level 3.

└ Battle

Obliterate the Odds

Win a campaign battle in which you are outnumbered 10-to-1.

By having a single very strong lord and a supportive hero that can heal that lord you can get this achievement in a battle of 2 vs 20 units.

Quest for Success

Fight a quest battle.

Legendary lords all have their own quests, which unlock when they reach a certain level. Once a quest is unlocked, complete the tasks until you reach the end of the questline, where you have to fight a battle. This achievement is automatically unlocked in the prologue.

Talented Amateur

Win 10 battles during a single campaign.

Professional Tactician

Win 50 battles during a single campaign.

Any decently long campaign and you will get this.

The Art of Surprise

Win 5 ambush battles during a single campaign.

You can ambush by setting your army’s stance to Ambush (if your race has it). Sometimes this achievement may be glitchy, and requires you to do it without shutting down your game (reloading saves is okay).

Blazing Besieger

Win 25 siege attack battles during a single campaign.

└ Multiplayer

Animated Adversary

Play a multiplayer battle.

You get this achievement by finishing a multiplayer battle. If you don’t want to engage with other players, it’s possible to host a game and have an AI in the other slot and still get the achievement.

Partners in Conquest

Play a multiplayer campaign.

In order to get this achievement, you only have to launch the campaign in Multiplayer, not finish it.
