Total War WARHAMMER III: 100% Achievements Guide

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.

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.

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

Borrow an army from a military ally.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
