Duplicate Epic Runes
Collect all 43 different Epic Runes and have the Dispatch ability. You must have at least 20 Captains alive; which is done easiest in Endless Challenge and Test of Wisdom. Select a Warchief that you will brand later. Send death threats to all the Captains and Warchiefs. Brand the Warchief that you selected earlier. Brand the 20 or more living Captains. Command all the Captains to become bodyguards of the Warchief that you branded. Summon the branded Warchief. Delete the Epic Rune to be duplicated, or it convert to Mirian. You should now have 42 Epic Runes. Kill all the followers. Upon death, every Captain and the Warchief will drop the same Epic Rune that you are currently missing.
Note: This will take some time to prepare.
Easy "Height of Despair" Achievement
Go to a Forge tower, or ruins near campfires that have four floors (easier). If at a Forge tower, use Attract to bring enemies closer first. Stealth kill an enemy, and immediately climb back up and wait using stealth to check when you can stealth kill again. The enemies usually lose focus after short time, as long as there are not any archers that can spot you. "Height of Despair" will be earned after ten such kills.
Easy "No Power in Numbers" Achievement
You do not need to brand a Captain beforehand. Simply enter any easy target's recruitment mission. Brand him before the first set of Uruks die. You can be seen by the enemy as long as you kill all the targets indicated by the yellow dot markers afterwards. After you brand the Captain, all the Uruks following him will be under his control, as if you had branded them yourself. Ensure that the Captain does not die from other groups of Uruks to allow success of the recruitment mission. When the mission ends, use the ability to kill all branded units on sight.
Easy "Stinking Rebels" Achievement
When close to the final missions, you will learn how to issue commands to branded units. Brand any existing bodyguards of a Warchief, then brand Captains who do not yet have a Warchief they are guarding. After branding a Captain, dominate it immediately and issue a command to have them try to become a bodyguard for that Warchief. The Captain will then need to complete a trial by ordeal mission to become a bodyguard. Once you have obtained five bodyguards for the same Warchief, enter that Warchief's mission. "Stinking Rebels" will be earned when you get him to appear.
