  Make your general an admiral with Nanban Trade Ships and conquer the seas and earn the Living for Battle achievement.
  You can also use only one general and try and take on everyone, I found leading an army of only Bow Cavalry easier to do thanks to mobility both on the battle and campaign.

• Agent of the Stealthy Blade

  Obtain a maximum level ninja in the campaign.
  Easier on lower difficulty levels but keep using one Ninja for all your espionage fun and start assassinations once he is competent to do so until you reach 6 star level.

  Somewhat hard and good timing needed, you should have an army ready break out of a siege in one turn, save the game and have your Daimyo and all generals killed in the same turn until it’s only the wife of the Daimyo is left. Win the defensive siege and bring down the patriarch with embarrassment. May not unlock immediately, wait a turn or two then reload and carry on.

  Sink a European caravel or the flagship vessel the Nihon Maru during a naval battle.

• Glittering Grand Cities

  Be the first clan in the campaign to master the art of epic architecture.
  A glitchy cheevo, all I can say is research it quickly on the Way of Chi tree and wait a few rounds for it to take affect, it took me 5 different campaigns for it to unlock.

  Self explanatory, do it on easy and keep it short.

• One Rule Under God

  Can be done with Against All Odds. Become a Christian and fight the heathens until you win. Deus Vult. Best to start as Shimazu, they are west of whole Japan and are near the Otom clan who are already Christian if you don’t have the DLC. Conquer your default enemy and make your way over to the province of Bungo and capture it. Wait for a few turns for a pop up about Christianity and open your clan management and click family tab. On the left side you should see Convert Religion icon. Press it, build a church in all of your provinces and recruit a missionary and after some unrest you will be fully converted and can continue to attack the heathens by declaring a imaginary Crusade. Deus Vult!

  Win a campaign as the Takeda clan.
  An relation to Takeshi Castle?

Shogun 2 Campaign Game Part 2

• Requiem of the Dead

  Win a defensive siege battle with your daimyo during any winter turn.
  A matter of timing, you need an enemy to siege you and knock them out while you in the middle of winter, make sure your daimyo is in the city or is nearby ready to rush to its defence. I earned this by luck by being under siege for one turn where it had transitioned from autumn to winter.

• Against All Odds

  Complete a campaign on legendary difficulty.
  Earning this will complete all other difficulty based cheevos. Play a short campaign with a clan such as Shimazu convert to Christianity quickly or play as Otomo (DLC) and build huge armies with guns, every clan is going to hate you regardless and avoid any two front wars. if you see large hordes run away and converge your forces to fight or risk losing everyone. Try this without going bankrupt! Have ships spread around and keep an eye for invasion fleets where the Nanban ships can sink them with ease.

• Mori Victory

  Win a campaign as the Mori clan.
  Spoiler, you do not play as the All Blacks rugby team.

• Stubborn Pursuer of Victory

  Complete a campaign on very hard difficulty.
  You can see Against All Odds or come up with a different strategy.

• Uesugi Victory

  Win a campaign as the Uesugi clan.
  Do you wanna know?

• Hojo Victory

  Win a campaign as the Hojo clan.
  If you typed the word Hojo in google and picked the first result, you will end up in final fantasy.

• Elusive Strikeforce

  Have all your army, excepting the general, hidden simultaneously for more than 30 seconds.
  This may be buggy but I had earned first attempt, make sure all your units except the general has the ability to hide, I hid for 5 minutes in siege battle at fast speed and then win the siege.

• Castle-stormer

  Win 10 siege battles as the attacker.
  Completely buggy, no success to unlock it, I will try with the fall of the samurai, it must be manual battles since auto battles never unlock it.

• Legendary Force

  Win a battle using an army composed entirely of hero units and your general.
  You can have a minimum on one hero unit such as Naginata Warrior Monk Hero, Katana, Bow, Yari, Samurai hero’s, you need to research the respective card in the Bushido tree. Attack a undefended town and win manually or auto battle mode.

• Servant of God

  Obtain a maximum level missionary.
  Just like the Buddist monk except you can’t recruit any high skilled priests so you have to grind the stars from the start. Play The Last Stand – Sabaton for inspiration or something. For Shyguystreams inspiration, you can also play Army of the night – Powerwolf for more religious based themes!

• Man the Defences

  Win 10 siege battles as the defender.
  Another glitchy cheevo for me but also needs aggressive AI to take you on. If you are lucky you will have one unit armies attacking you but don’t count on it. Only manual combat as auto never worked for me.

• Redoubtable

  As the defender, recapture a tower.
  During a campaign or custom siege, let the enemy capture one of your towers and then recapture it.

• Towering Inferno

  As the attacker, burn a castle’s gates, towers and tenshu to the ground using fire arrows and win the battle.
  A movie reference with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen? I recommend the movie, its a great classic.
  Open a custom battle, have custom funds and pick a huge army of archers with flaming arrows ability and only the enemy general, pick a small map like Shinjo. Split the army in two and place one half on each side of the gates, turn of auto fire and march up to the walls and press flaming arrows ability to fire on the towers first to stop attacking you, the gates and the tenshu in the centre of the fort. When everything is a smothering ruin, kill the general and you earn the cheevo when the you won banner appears.

Fall of the Samurai Part 1 Battles

For more help with the historical battles go to No One’s Guide to the FOTS Historical Battles, it is very helpful and useful to help complete the battles and earn achievements.

• A Journey Begins

  Play a historical battle. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Go to main menu, press historical battles, pick Fall of Samurai and pick any of the historical battles, enjoy the video and cutscene and win the battle or concede defeat can also earn you the cheevo.

• Journey’s End

  Complete all historical battles. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Go to main menu, press historical battles, pick Fall of Samurai and win all the historical battles.

• Not On My Watch

  Chase down and rout an enemy unit as it tries to escape the Battle of Toba-Fushimi. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  First historical battle, no time limit. Hide your smaller army in the forest and move your cannon further back do not fire on the small enemy force crossing the river and let them keep marching until a cutscene is triggered. If they are attacked they may wheel off and head over to the main fight. Kill them with any unit, prepare your battle lines after to avoid being outflanked and fire away.
  

  Uphill Struggle

  Win the Battle of Osaka after both bridges get blown up by the defenders. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Second historical battle. You can also earn Battlefield Dominance cheevo here. You have 80 minutes to win the battle. The first and second bridge leading to the fortress will blow up when you take your time, have a unit near the bridges while out of enemy range. This will force you to head to the final bridge on the other side of the map. Play on easy and make full use of your cannon to break up enemy forces while you slowly advance, do not lose it no matter what. Keep your missile troops close to rain down bullets on the advancing first army. Have your melee troops hiding in the forest to move forward. Take the first control point giving you better passive melee abilities. Advance to the second bridge and keep your army close together. Take the final control point for better passive missile troops and ammo replacement. Place your cannon here and fire on every unit out in the open of the fortress until the end of the battle, keep returning to the cannon and change to another target. Move your troops to the river next to the second control point and prepare for a cavalry ambush from the forest. Send in the police to uncover the cavalry and give them a chance to be saved by the missile troops. Hardest part is to cross the final third bridge and climb the walls. Have your melee troops climb while the missiles provide covering fire and suppression. I was lucking as for some reason all of the enemy moved down the ramp to the gate and stayed there, my samurai simply slaughtered them there. Move up to the wall near the final victory point or wipe out the final enemy and perform the same tactics as mentioned earlier.

• A Blow to the Temple

  Win the Battle of Ueno without capturing any of the key temple buildings. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  The third historical battle, 100 minutes. Uou must win the battle without occupying the Sword Dojo, Workshop, Archery Dojo, I had left them in enemy hands and did not dare try leaving them in neutral mode, for fear of starting all over again. You will have to husband your rounds carefully for their will be no replenishment and avoid wasting bullets on routed units. I worked from the left side of the map round towards the right side by unhinging each defensive area. Use your artillery to breakup the front of the the walls in front of your army, have your army rush to the walls to fire on any enemies until they rout. Tall walls cannot be fired over so that will be your cover. Wheel your troops round the flanks and fire in the rear of the enemy while if possible have another unit rush to the front of the enemy a minute later, the overlapping fire will force them to move in circles and kill them quicker. Move your cannon units up to destroy the enemy Picard cannon. Keep an eye out for melee troops and kill them before they get close. Reinforcements will arrive and the enemy may move out in the forest to intercept them, rush the forest or have a weakened unit to unveil them. Keep going until you make a full circle. You can start on the right also and kill some units until they link up with the rest of the force. In summary, keep outflanking, preserve ammo, and move quickly between walls.

• Wrecking Ball

  Win the Battle of Aizu after provoking all four hidden armies at once. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Fourth historical battle, unlimited time. A major pain to deal with, see the map for the locations of the hidden armies, they appear to stay in the same places every time I play this battle. First thing first is to move you cannons over to the left and unlimber quickly to destroy the enemy cannons raining fire down on you. Use one of your cavalry to walk through the forest hidden and to run when you uncover the enemies who might spot you. Once you find all four, you can begin to attack each section, take your time and use riflemen to sneak up on enemy cannons to snipe them while hidden or use your cannon. Make the cannons your main priority to avoid needless loses. Try heading to the castle and take over the base avoid uncovering the hidden armies again unless your men are in position to fire en mass, when done, it will reveal all hidden enemies and make it easier for you to kill them, otherwise you will have to march into the forests and lose men.
  

• The Iron Lady

  Complete the Battle of Miyako Bay with the Kotetsu having taken less than 25% damage. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  The fifth historical battle, Probably a PM Margaret Thatcher reference. Unlimited time.
  This is really easy to get, make sure your ships are in front of the iron clad, use your gun boats to capture the two defences next to you, they will be somewhat helpful. Do not bother with the rest for it will take to long and your ships will be destroyed. Make sure your ships are always presenting a broadside to fire on anyone in range. Take out the biggest ships as soon as they are in range. Defeat 3 waves and the Kotetsu shouldn’t even have a single scratch on it.

• Perfect Ten

  Complete the Battle of Hakodate without any Imperial units being routed. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Sixth and final battle, unlimited time. Your general and three units should spread out and kneel to fire on everyone approaching, keep rallying your troops and Inspire them. Save your ammo on enemies not routing. When you run out, bayonet charge the enemy to force them to run. Do not hide or have your general run for he will not make it. Your main army must rush to the undefended bridge west of them, their is no one defending it and no one hiding in the forests. Move your Gatling gun and further back cannon to the river bank near the forest as fast as they can and set up to fire inside the castle. Rush the walls on the furthest west side to enable all your troops to climb simultaneously and fire on the defenders coming to you. Move them around both sides of the base to fire on the units until they run. Have your cavalry dismount and climb the walls and have them to take the gates to prevent reinforcements coming in. Have all but one unit man the walls to fire on approaching forces or stand near the flag firing. The last unit should capture the centre, it does not go faster with more then one unit, it will still take 60 seconds..
  You must do all this without any units routing, I earn this on first attempt and had units down to 90 men left.

Fall of the Samurai Part 2 Battles

• A Warrior’s Bane

  Sink an HMS Warrior-class ship. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Create a custom battle and have unlimited money, have 6 French L’ocean class and the AI with only the Warrior class ship. Let the enemy close near you and have all of your ships fire armour piercing rounds until it blows up. The achievement immediately unlocks. Do not end the battle and the ship must be destroyed not surrender.

• Warhead

  Sink an enemy ship with torpedoes. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Do this on custom battle, load up your fleet with torpedo only ships and your opponent with a gun boat; turn off auto fire and get close to your enemy, fire in a line starting from left to right in quick succession in order to prevent the enemy dodging the torpedoes. The ship must be destroyed for the cheevo to unlock at the conclusion of the battle.

• Damn the Torpedoes

  Sink an enemy ship by ramming. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Can be done in campaign or more easier in custom battle, have all your ships of the Kotetsu or French L’ocean and charge at at a weak enemy ship using the overheat engine and turn off auto fire, when your near the target press ramming and make sure the ship is aimed at the unit. Two hits should sink the enemy like a gunboat. It will unlock as soon as the end of battle notification happens. Make sure to sink the unit instead of causing it to surrender.

• Battlefield Dominance

  On maps with more than one key building, your alliance shows its dominance by holding all of them simultaneously.
  Can be done in any historical battle with key buildings such as Osaka, see Uphill Struggle.

Fall of the Samurai part 3 Campaign

• Ezo Republic

  Declare your independence and complete a campaign. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  This takes place when you are given the choice of fighting for the Emperor/Shogun or yourself, take the second option and be prepared to fight everyone and deal with the annoying short bombardments that will be the bane of your existence in the game. Try to have the most modern riflemen and cannons ready to shoot at anything that moves. DO NOT recruit any Shogun/Imperial Infantry for they will desert your armies, try recruit your factions best units instead.

• Father of the Imperial Navy

  Playing as the Tosa, carry out 5 naval bombardments in the same campaign. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Start the Tosa campaign and build up your navy, have enough ships that can bombard the enemy coast and discourage any attacks, wait one turn and it should unlock. Can be done early with the weakest ships.

• Gateway to the West

  Playing as the Satsuma, construct a trade district and trade with a foreign power within the same campaign. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  You can do this with only the British as the French and USA do not deal with the imperial faction, build as soon as you can the trade port, research Foreign Affairs in level 2 development and wait for event to unlock inviting a foreign power. I do not know if any other research is needed but you may get the event the next turn or 12 turns. Once you finally get the event build the trading district, this will take 10 turns therefore keep enemy armies and fleets away.

• Hard Pounding

  Call in naval fire support during a land battle. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Any clan is fine, have your naval fleet near a province or army within range,fire on them if you want to soften them up and use an army to attack, before you commit to a manual battle look at the bottom of your commanders portrait you will see a naval gun given you the option of naval support. Start the battle and wait for the cooldown to finish and fire on the enemy, you can use all of the support or once. When you win the battle the cheevo will unlock as soon as the victory icon appears. Does not work on auto battle.

• Hero of the Empire

  Win a campaign on legendary difficulty playing as either the Satsuma, the Tosa or the Choshu. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Hard but at least you will have allies to fight with, build up your income with the highest income with cheap soldiers to guard the towns and modern armies and attack, use your agents to create revolts to weaken the enemy, distract them to stop moving and kill their top generals to make it easier. Be sure to not to let your general’s loyalties fall too low when creating new generals or you will have problems on your hands when they defect. Nothing much more I can say but you must be good at not going bankrupt.

• Hero of the Shogunate

  Win a campaign on legendary difficulty playing as either the Aizu, the Jozai or the Nagaoka. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  See above for the same information, nothing much different other then don’t attack your own side.

• Hereditary Honour

  Playing as the Jozai, win 3 ambush battles in the same campaign. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  A tricky cheevo if you are not good at ambushes or the AI is being stupid, try and lure them to your ambush by having a single unit standing right next to your main army hiding in the forrest to encourage them to come to you. You will get the message you have ambushed your foe and ask whether you wish to commit to battle, you must do this three times with any army and it can be done with auto battle option, it may take more then one turn for it to unlock.

• Keeping to Traditions

  Defeat a Fall of the Samurai army with a Shogun 2 army.
  I am unsure of this cheevo, still working it out, it has not unlocked for me in the campaign.
  “And as history told, The old ways go out in a blaze” SABATON – Shiroyama

• L’Ocean is Mine!

  Carry out a bombardment with a French ironclad in your navy. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Be one of the Shogunate clan supporters, research Foreign Affairs and and pick the French event when it appears. Build the ship and bombard anyone you see, you do not not need to hit anything and it will unlock after a turn passes.

• Modernisation

  Defeat a Shogun 2 army with a Fall of the Samurai army. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  The same as Keep to Traditions, I am trying to figure this out.
  “When the new meets the old, It always end the ancient ways” SABATON – Shiroyama

• One Hundred Sacks of Rice

  Playing as the Nagaoka, research any eighth tier technology. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  You need to be Nagoaka clan, have level 4 development and research any of the tech cards at the bottom of the tree like Charter Oath, Kokuati, etc.

• Perfect Ten

  Complete the Battle of Hakodate without any Imperial units being routed. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Work in progress. Assume you use rally command.

• Rule, Britannia!

  Win a battle with British ships in your navy. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Like the L’Ocean is Mine! cheevo, but pick the British Trade mission. You can only earn this in the Imperial Faction, build the warship and win against any battle, can be done manually or auto and wait a turn.

• Semper Fi

  Win a battle with United States Marines in your army. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Anyway again see L’Ocean is Mine! Pick the American event and build the marines and win a battle, again this can be done manually or auto battle. It will unlock after a turn has passed. To make it more fun have only marines and play Devil Dogs – Sabaton for metal fuelled action.

• Skilled Warrior

  Max out any [Fall of the Samurai] avatar skill tree, by spending a skill point in each skill within a single skill tree.
  I cannot figure this out, does anyone know this one?

• The Duellist

  Fight a drop-in battle.

Fall of the Samurai part 4 Campaign

• Thy Will Be Done

  Obtain a maximum level agent of each type. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Another Sabaton song reference? Play The Last Stand and Fields of Verdun. To earn this you need to have 6 star agents of Geisha, Shinsengumi or Ishin Shishi (depending on Faction), Foreign Veteran and Shinobi. It appears you do not need ninja to earn this as I did not have one.

• Wolves of Mibu

  Playing as the Aizu, carry out 3 successful assassinations of generals in the same campaign using a shinsengumi. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Pick the Aizu clan and build up the agent’s skills, pick traits for assassination at level two or three start killing enemy, neutral or allied generals, like everything else it will unlock after a turn passes.

  for it to unlock. Well done you have destroyed the way of life for all Japanese people hopefully they will not seek retribution in the 20th Century.

• Agent Provocateur

  Playing as the Choshu, incite 3 rebellions in the same campaign using an ishin shishi. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Build the skill level of your agent ishin shishi and start some uprisings, this should come naturally when you are trying to get pass ‘neutral’ clans or get free provinces.
  PS: No you cannot rename your agents Castro and Guevara… I have tried.

• All Aboard!

  Construct a railway between 2 provinces. [Fall of the Samurai only]
  Very simple but long and expensive, have a lot of money and the resource coal. Research the tech and build the railway as soon as possible in two provinces.
