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.
How to Obtain All Achievements
All credit goes to Joller!
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.
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.

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

You will get this automatically when playing through the prologue.

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.
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

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.

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