Achievement Info

There are 50 achievements in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Most of these achievements can be unlocked in singleplayer mode: Campaign or Sandbox. However, some must be obtained in multiplayer only. And if you played Warband, then you must remember that they were also there, but you could get them with bots. Here, unfortunately, the situation is much more complicated. But let's talk about everything in order, here are some general tips for unlocking all the possible achievements in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.

Any mods disable achievements
If you would like to play with enabled mods, the achievements won't work! You will receive a message about this as soon as you start the game. To get achievements, you will have to play without modifications and start a new game for it. And also make sure you got enabled native modules in Mods section via launcher to make achievement work like Sandbox, SanboxCore and StoryMode.



"I want to unlock achievements and play with mods!"
Hopefully we have solution for it now: Achievement Un(bloc)ker mod that lets you earn achievements with other mods enabled. Download it here! [www.nexusmods.com]

Unlock some MP achievements in SP mode
To be honest, I'm not sure exactly about the reasons for this — maybe some time after the release of the game, the developers fixed several multiplayer achievements and now they can be obtained in a singleplayer mode or this happens because I play with Achievement Un(bloc)ker mod. But still I will mention this tip for every specific achievement down below.

Get some friends
Some MP achievements are hard to get "legally" or it`s just too time consuming. Therefore, you will have to call friends or other bannerlord players in order to unlock them.

Achievements are not always unlocked instantly
Even when you have fulfilled all achievement conditions, it can be unlocked after 1-2 game days after that. Among other things, there are still certain errors and bugs in the game so some achievements still may not be unlocked. Despite several patches from developers that fixed some non-working achievements, I still can hear from people that some achievements are not unlocking. Please note that it is difficult for me to say why this is happening in your case.

Lawbringer ✔

You will get this achievement during the tutorial, right after you and your party have cleared Radagos' hideout.

Duelist ✔

During the attack on the Radagos' hideout, after you kill all the opponents there, Radagos himself will challenge you to a duel.



If you agree and defeat him, then with the next dialogue you will get an achievement.

Trained ✔

Right after you cleared Radagos' hideout and a conversation with your brother, you will split up and once on the global map you will receive a message that the training has been completed. That`s the moment for achievement to pop up.

Bannerlord ✔

Dragon Banner is a main quest line in the Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord game, and is comprised of several quests. It centers around the legend of the Dragon Banner. It's believed that owner of the flag will re-unite the empire of Calradia. Assemble the Dragon Banner is a quest given by Istiana or Arzagos, which is part of the Dragon Banner quest line. You should collect all of the pieces of the Dragon Banner before deciding your path.

Before leaving, your brother will advise you to show yourself to various lords in Calradia in order to find out some ancient secret. Then you will need to ask various NPCs about it. Your task will be to visit various cities and fortresses, trying to find out any NPC that can tell you at least something about the banner. Watch for NPC`s with golden sign.


After talking with the character, you will be presented with a brief retelling of the events of ancient years. Next, you will be informed that there are 10 lords with whom you must definitely talk to find out more. Here is list of some nobles that can be useful for your mission:
  • Lucon (Northen Empire)
  • Rhagaea (Southern Empire)
  • Garios (Western Empire)
  • Adram (Aserai)
  • Unqid (Aserai)
  • Tais (Aserai)
  • Mesui (Khuzait)
  • Monchug (Khuzait)
  • Hurunag (Khuzait)
  • Godun (Sturgian)
  • Raganvad (Sturgian)
  • Olek (Sturgian)
  • Derthert (Vlandian)
  • Unthery (Vlandian)
  • Ingalther (Vlandian)
  • Caladog (Battanian)
  • Melidir (Battanian)
  • Ergeon (Battanian)

When you talk to the last lord, he will advise you to find Istania or Arzagos. You will be told where to find them. Istiana can be found in the city of Epicrotea, and she wants to support the Empire, despite the fact that it was split as a result of the civil war. Arzagos lives in Mannurath and he wants to see the Empire collapse as soon as possible.

They will tell you about two bandit hideouts located near the main settlements. According to Istania and Arzagos, these two camps contain the missing parts of the Dragon Banner. Go to the hideouts of the thugs and defeat their leaders to get the necessary items. As long as you got all part of it, the achievement should pop up.

Long live the Empire/Freedom!

Both of these achievements are related to the Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord main story campaign.
Once you have finished retrieving all 3 pieces the quest will inform you to return to either Istiana (if you plan on restoring the Empire) or to Arzagos (if you plan on destroying it for good).

If you choose:
  • Create an Non-Imperial Kingdom - Mercenary to Kingdom (With Arzagos)
  • Support an Non-Imperial Kingdom - Arzagos Quest
This will lead you to the Freedom! achievement.

I declared that I would support the Khuzait against the Empire.
Complete the quest to weaken the empire. All 3 empire factions must have 4 major cities or less
After that, all the imperial factions will declare a war on you, which cannot be ended by negotiations. You will have to capture cities, plunder villages, defeat armies and capture lords in order to completely destroy the faction. As soon as this happens with any imperial faction, the achievement is yours.
As soon as this happens with any imperial faction, the achievement is yours.

If you choose:
  • Create an Imperial Kingdom - Mercenary to Kingdom (With Istinia)
  • Support an Imperial Kingdom - Istinia Quest
This will lead you to the Long live the Empire achievement.

Apple of my eye/Minor Clan/Great Granny

First of all, when you start the game, do not forget to enable this Birth and Death Options mod in the game launcher. With that option enabled your character can have children of his own, and then die of old age. But one way or another, this option is needed in order to get achievements related to childbearing.



First of all, you need to find a soul mate and marry her or him, this depends on your character`s gender. Find any lord and propose to make a marriage. If there is an unmarried young man or woman in the lord's clan, then you will be offered his candidacy, after which you will have to pay a marriage ransom.


After you reach an agreement, your spouse will join your clan, but will be located in one of the cities of his faction. Recall him to your squad and travel the world - wait in the city or just go about your business on the map. The main thing here is to be in the same unit with your spouse.



In my experience, you will need to travel with your spouse together for approximately 1-2 in-game weeks. After that, you will receive a message on the map screen that your spouse (or yourself) is pregnant. If you go to the character card, then this will be symbolized by a special icon. It does not carry any in-game bonuses or debuffs, then you just have to wait for childbirth. If for some reason it is not possible to get pregnant, then you can lear Vigile perk in Charm section that increases the likelihood of this by 30%.


After a while, you will also receive a notification that your baby has been born. There is a certain chance that he will be born dead, but in most cases the opposite happens. Once you watch the baby birth animation, Apple of my eye achievement should be unlocked.


Now that you know the basic childbirth mechanics in Bannerlord, it will be easier for you to understand what needs to be done for such achievements below.


This achievement requires your character to have 7 children at the same time, regardless of age. For this, I can only give a general advice to get married as early as possible so that your character is young and does not die prematurely. And also do not stop traveling with your spouse through the world of the game. Make manual saves before the baby is born and reload if it was stillborn.


This achievement also requires your character to live long, as you need to become a great-grandmother or great-grandfather. This means that you will unlock the achievement as soon as one of your grandchildren gives birth to a child.

It is worth remembering that if you have a boy, then he remains in your clan and his wife will become part of your family. And if you have a daughter, then when she marries, she will leave your clan and become part of her husband's clan. Therefore, for all these achievements, it is extremely important to give birth to mostly boys in order to continue your own dynasty.
Butterlord ✔

Search towns and villages for a kind of food like butter. All you need is to collect more than 100 in your inventory. However, the achievement is not issued immediately - it should take about a day from the moment a sufficient amount of butter has accumulated in your inventory

God of the Arena ✔

Arenas can be found in any major city on a map. Inside the arena section, you can see a leaderboard that shows your number of wins and who is the champion.



Usually, you can only take part in training battles in the arena, but sometimes tournaments are held in cities. If you win the tournament, you will not only get valuable rewards and fame, but also points to move up the leaderboard.

Once you get enough victories, the next time you open leaderboard to see you at the very top of the list and there is a crown icon next to your name, the achievement should unlock.

Crowdfunded ✔

This one has the similar way of unlocking as God of the Arena achievement. You have to travel around the Kaldaria to find arena tournaments. You have to join it and reach the first place 100 times.



The tournament grid is randomly generated and may change depending on the participants. Sometimes you can take part in solo or team battles of different composition, such as 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4.



In duels, you have to right to die, but in team competitions, if you are injured, then your party members still can take the victory. Steam has a counter for this achievement, as well as the number of victories can be found on the leaderboard arena.

If you play on high difficulty or have not yet fully figured out the combat system of the game, then I can suggest taking a shield and any one-handed weapon into battle. With them, the fight turns into the ability to choose the timing for the block, and not just its direction, and win duels and unequal battles, especially against ranged troops.

Crackshot ✔

It should be understood that 200 meters in game is a very, very long distance when you can barely see the silhouettes of enemy troops. The difficulty lies not only in choosing the right angle of the shot, but also in the fact that your opponents are moving and the range of the arrow or bolt depends on the terrain on which you are.



To achieve this, I advise you to take Bows or Crossbows and upgrade the corresponding perk trees. Once you have at least level 100 Bow or Crossbow skills, your shooting will be more accurate and responsive. With a skill level 200-250 and your personal shooting skill, making the right shot will not be difficult.

I can only advise you to try to complete this achievement when you are besieging or defending the castle/city — many enemy troops are standing still on the walls, which makes it a little easier for you to shoot.

Also, do not forget that when you hit the enemy, you can see your shot info on the left side of the screen: the distance of the shot and the part of the body that you hit. Use it to adjust your next shot.
Headshots are always highlighted in purple over the rest of the information.


Fat Cat ✔

This achievement takes quite a long time to get, but things get easier if your character has a high Trade skill. As soon as your Trade skill reaches 50 points, the prices of goods will be color-coded: green - profitable, red - unprofitable.



Visiting different cities will let you get rumors about the prices of goods and their difference, so you will receive info about how you can buy goods cheaper and sell more expensive in another city.

Sell ​​with higher price than you bought, because only the amount difference of buy/sell price counts for achievement counter. As long as you reach 1 000 000 denars of profit, this will be yours.

Heartbreaker

This achievement works depending on the gender of your character. Since I'm playing as a female, I'm interested in the opportunity to marry a man, after finding and executing his spouse.

We find a suitable character, it is important that he has a good relationship with you. When you execute his wife, it will deteriorate, but it must still be high enough for him to agree to marry you.
Mastery ✔

A simple, but long lasting achievement. Choose any skill from your perk tree and raise it to max amount of 300 points. The description of each ability indicates what is required for its upgrade.

There is some important stuff to know to make a proper build for your character so choose the abilities you need from the very start of the game. You have attribute points that define 3 skill trees in one section. The higher the value of attribute points, the faster and easier it will be to grow the desired skill. You will gain one attribute point every 4 levels of your character, so learning new perks can be problematic at higher character levels.

You also have focus points, which you will receive one for each new level. Up to 5 focus points can be assigned to each of the skills, which will determine the level limit and the multiplier by which all the skill experience gained is multiplied. The higher the multiplier, the faster the level grows.

Therefore, if there are enough attribute points and focus points in the skill tree you need, then you can get 300 points. If the skill value turns red, then you have reached the limit and in order to further increase this level, you need to add some attribute points. Adding focus points does nothing to affect the situation.

I spit on your grave ✔

First you need to spoil the relationship with the lord to the level of -100 units.



Be as dishonest as possible in order to achieve this. One of the surest and fastest ways to spoil the relationship is outright military action - the capture of cities, the ruin of villages and the execution of captive lords. The latter lowers the relationship with the entire faction by 25 points. Reach level -100 (or something close to it, for me -97 points was fine to unlock the achievement) for any of the lords and then capture them.



You can select a lord in the prisoner menu.



And then you will have the opportunity to publicly execute him.

King Solomon ✔

This achievement requires you to have at least 10,000 gold daily income. It does not matter how high your expenses are and whether you end up with a profit. It is important that your income was the one indicated in the description of the achievement.

Go to the Clan menu and check Finance info at the right side of the screen. This is where you can check how much denars you recieve from city taxes, caravan or workshop income and etc.
You also can get that info on the global map by moving your curson on you money info, but in late game this list can be too long to see total income info.

Swordbearer ✔

This is a rather simple achievement that will require Smithing skill, and it is not even necessary to raise it to the maximum 300 points.

As you create weapons of varying difficulty, parts of weapons of a certain Tier will open up for you. And although you won’t find Tier 6 weapon parts on the list, because Tier 5 is max, but the better your Smithing skill is and more difficult weapons you craft, there is a small chance that the weapon will get Tier 6. So here you can see that I got Tier 6 weapon with 105 Smithing points.


Sometimes luck may not be on your side so certain perks from the Smithing skill tree can increase the likelihood of crafting Tier 6 weapons: Master Smith (Level 200) gives 10% chance to create a Masterwork weapon and Legendary Smith (Level 275) gives chance to create a 'Legendary' weapon, if difficulty requierements are met.

The king is pleased ✔

Start a war with any of the kingdoms of Calradia and get the primary success in the war: capture castles and cities, defeat the armies of enemy lords and capture them as prisoners. It is highly advisable not to allow the faction to redeem their captive lords by paing ransome — keep them in the dungeon of your major city.

At some point, you may receive a message from an enemy faction with a proposal to end the war and sign a peace agreement, subject to payment of tribute.



If the amount of tribute is 1000 gold or higher, then accept it and get your achievement.

Against all odds ✔
For this achievement, you must inflict a crushing defeat on an army that greatly outnumbers you.
You can do this achievement alone (as in the screenshot), but it is assumed that you will be part of an army that is outnumbered.

Bannerlord is a great game that proves that it is not the number of warriors that matters, but the tactical abilities and quality of your soldiers.



Best served cold

Okay, this one is really hard one to unlock. But the reason is that this does not require any special efforts, but most of all you need luck. The base chance of any lord or vassal dying is 5%.

Therefore, you need to wait for one of your relatives or any other clan member in a separate squad get killed by an enemy lord.
Horde breaker ✔

Since the army can have any number of warriors (it does not have to be large), then you just need to find an army that will be within your power.



Defeat it in battle without the help of allies and the achievement will be yours, but keep in mind that it will not unlock immediately, but after a couple of minutes.

Crush your enemies ✔

A cumulative achievement that only counts opponents killed personally by your hero. Luckily it supports a Steam counter so you can always find out how much you have left.
Kingslayer ✔

Many people tell about the impossibility of unlocking this achievement due to the fact that the faction kings cannot die — in battle they always end up injured. Nevertheless, the death of faction leaders is still possible. During the start of your game, you can enable a setting that allows faction members to die in combat. The base probability that this will happen is 5%. However, in reality this rarely happens.

To do this, it is enough to inflict fatal damage on them in a way in which it is difficult to get injured. For example: they can be dropped from the city wall during the storming of the castle or use slashing and piercing weapons rather than blunt or siege weapons. Hit in the head and it is quite possible that the enemy king will die from your blow. But for this achievement, it is not at all necessary to make a kill personally - enemy king can die in battle from any other reason. At the end of the battle, you will be informed that the king or lord died in battle.

Know your enemy ✔

This is a cumulative achievement supported by the Steam counter.

Please note that the army is not considered one detachment of the lord, but their union under the flag of one of the lords. You will never go wrong, because the army stands out on the map with an increased number of troops and inscription about it.



This Is Our Land ✔

For this achievement you have to repulse the attack of the enemy army on your city or castle. In my case, this achievement was unlocked when I was not defending inside the city, but attacked the besieging enemy camp.

Explorer ✔

Calradia has a large number of towns, castles and villages. As far as I know, in order to unlock this achievement, it is not necessary to visit the villages, and moreover, it is not necessary to enter the city or castle itself, but only to walk nearby.



But I would still recommend visiting each city or castle at least once during your gameplay, it is especially easy to do this at the very beginning of the game, when you already have a some party by your side, but you have not yet sworn allegiance to any of the factions.

Dynasty ✔

You can see the level of your clan in a special Clan menu (Lionhead icon at the left bottom side of the screen). It goes up every time you gain renown. Fame is given for victories in battles, tournaments, completing tasks and assignments, and other game successes.

The sixth level is the maximum, so you just need to play and this achievement will be available as you conquer in Calradia.

Entrepreneur ✔

Pretty easy achievement. Come to any city and talk to the merchants. Some may offer you to purchase their workshop. Some merchants may also offer to form a caravan for you.



Workshop price can be different, but on average, the price should not exceed 30,000 gold.

The cost of sending a caravan is fixed, a regular caravan always costs 15,000 gold, but a heavily guarded caravan costs 22,500 gold. Moreover, to create a caravan, you will need to give one of your companions or clan members to act as the leader of the caravan.



Buy at least one workshop and form a caravan to unlock this achievement. You can check your Workshop info and Caravans in Clan menu by choosing Other section.

I can do it ✔

To get this achievement, you need to capture any city or castle.

Moreover, an important nuance will be to capture it on your own, not as part of the army or without helping the allies. Besiege a city or castle and capture it yourself.



Landlord ✔

This achievement can be obtained immediately along with the I can do it achievement if you haven't already unlocked it.

To get this achievement, it is enough to swear allegiance to any faction and have enough political influence so that the ruler, during the voting, will grant you a castle or city in your possession.

Lawmaker ✔

First you have to create your own kingdom or swear allegiance to one of the kingdoms of Calradia. Go to the Kingdom menu and find the Policy or Diplomacy tab there. You can use you Influence resource to propose any policy you like. Also you can do the same to consider a peace with kingdom you are at war with.


My way ✔

Proceed with Main Story Quest related with Dragon Banner of Calradia.
Fulfill all the conditions necessary to found your own kingdom:

  • Clan level 4+
  • 100+ troops in your army
  • Be independent
  • Have at least one castle or city

Next, you need to go to your city or castle and talk to its governor. You can assign him or her by yourself at City manage menu.



Enter into a dialogue with the governor and select the desired dialogue about creating your kingdom. You will also need to choose a set of first laws and the name of the kingdom.




Real Estate ✔

Same as I can do it achievement, but do that 100 times. You can capture different fortifications or you can recapture fortifications that were taken over by your opponents.

Supreme Emperor ✔

To get this achievement, you will need to capture all major cities and castles, regardless of whether you did it as part of one of the factions or by creating your own kingdom.

Undercover ✔

In this case, it means completing a quest in a hostile city. Let`s just imagine you stand next to one of these.



Now you have to enter the city and try to sneak it. The chance you can enter a city undetected is determined by your fame and Roguery skill.


Now that you've successfully sneaked into the city, you can do almost everything you normally do in it, with the exception of trading. See these guys at the top of the screen? These are merchants, artisans and leaders of local gangs.



Due to the fact that your clan and city are hostile to each other, merchants and artisans will not give you quests, and if they were active, then these quests will be canceled and forced to complete as failed. The only characters who will talk to you and also grand their quests are the leaders of the gangs, usually these are the two characters on the right side.

To unlock this achievement, I tried to find a city in which the character gives a task that can be completed instantly, for example - the leader of the gang needs a weapon or the gang is looking for recruits. If you have the right people in your squad or weapons in your inventory, then this quest can be completed immediately as soon as you take it.



Once you exit the city, the achievement should unlock.

This achievement is missable! Try to unlock this achievement as soon as you can at the beginning of your game. This is due to the level of your fame. The more famous you become, the more difficult it will be to sneak into an enemy settlement unnoticed without the upgraded Roguery skill. At some point, the probability of infiltrating an enemy city will be 0% because you are too famous.
Veni vidi vici ✔

You have several ways to get this achievement, which differ only which faction you will rule.

You can both establish your own state or join an existing one, and then become its ruler. To do this, accumulate influence and be on good terms with lords from different clans. At some point, the current leader of the faction may be killed or die of old age, and then other lords may appoint you as the current ruler. In the case when you founded your own state, then you are the ruler in it immediately.

If you created your own state, then there will be no other clans under your control, but if you become the leader of an existing faction, then all clans will immediately come under your control, which will simplify the progress of obtaining the achievement.

To effectively expand the list of clans in your subordination, it is extremely important to have high Charm and Trade skills. The perks from these skill trees will make it easier for you to convince enemy lords to go under your side, and also to convince them to do so for less cost.

Also, don't forget that clans that are already under your control can also defect to other factions if you prove to be a bad ruler, which will move you away from the desired result.

So, let's figure it out in order how to lure enemy clans to your side. First of all, you should be interested in the leaders of the clans, and not their ordinary members. In order to find out who the lord you are talking to, you need to click on his name, and then on the name of his clan. If this is the same person, then you can try to kill him both in peacetime and in a situation when the desired lord was captured by you.


All other clan members can be safely sold into slavery or released, because if you offer to join you, they will say that such issues are best resolved with the head of the clan. Moreover, it is desirable to release the captured lords immediately after the battle. This not only improves your Charm skill, but also improves your relationship with the lords, which will be difficult to do without when persuading.

Carefully study the indicators of the strength of the clan, the level of its wealth, and it would also be desirable to find out the relationship in which the head of the clan is with the current ruler of his faction. If the clan is rich, strong and loyal to its king, then if you try to shake his oath, he will simply refuse to talk to you. Here, an important role is played by how well the head of the clan treats you.

The head of a poor clan is most likely deprived of his king, and therefore it is enough to start a conversation with him about how he treats his king and offer to change the master.


Once the lord agrees to listen to your offer, then you will have to play a small mini-game with a choice of answers. Each line has a chance to work or fail depending on your Charm skill. Initially, the lord needs to be convinced with 4 theses, then with a high level of Charm, this number can be reduced to three (as on my screenshots).

However, each dialogue option has a chance to both work and fail. If, as a result of the conversation, you fail to convince the lord to go over to your side, then he will no longer discuss this issue, so save before trying to convince him. If you do not fill at least one cell of persuasion by the end of the dialogue, then the lord will refuse to obey and remain loyal to his master. Only if you fill in all the cells during one dialogue, he will agree with your arguments.


After that, a trade window will open and the lord will inform you that going over to your side is extremely dangerous and you need to support him financially. Here the lord can be offered various conditions under which he will join you. It can be money, giving him possession of a city or a castle, a demand to release his relatives from imprisonment, or transfer items from your inventory. Click on the handshake icon in the center of the screen and the lord himself will indicate the proposal to which he agrees. Keep in mind that sometimes lords require an extremely large amount of money up to 1 million dinars, especially if you have the head of a rich and powerful clan in front of you.


If you agree to the conditions of the lord, then his clan will become part of your state, and all his subordinates will become your allies, even if you just fought with them. You can go to the Kingdom menu and see your new vassals in the Clans section. Right here you can also learn how many clans you already have under your control and once there are 21 of them (including yours), you will get an achievement.


PLEASE NOTE: if the lord's demands are too high and you have to refuse the lord's offer, then in the future, even if you accumulate the required amount of money, he may refuse to join you, citing the fact that you have already discussed this issue before and could not reach the agreement.


If your character is not ready to convince other lords because of his skills, then the achievement can be obtained in another way. Just be the head of an active or your own faction, and then talk to any of the companions you have already hired. In dialogue with them, you can offer them a reward for their loyalty and make them your vassal.


You will have to gift one of your cities or castles, and also come up with a name for the new clan, but in this way your companion will turn into a separate lord with his own clan.
What have the Romans ever done for us ✔
To unlock this achievement, you need to pick any castle or city in your control and build all the structures in it to the maximum level. This is not difficult, but a very long and time consuming achievement, because the speed of construction of buildings depends on the current state of the city. The speed of construction can be accelerated by funding the city with gold or by using perks from Steward skill tree.

You can also capture an enemy city in the later stages of the game in which most of the buildings have already been built. In this case, the achievement will also be unlocked immediately as soon as you control a city in which there is nothing more to build.

Slice n dice ✔

Can be unlocked in Singleplayed mode

You can make a chain attack, but it will take a little skill to carry it out.

To create a chain of combos, you must start the next attack when the first one has not yet ended, but is already coming to an end, choosing a different direction of attack. You can only link in combos with left, right, and overhead attacks. Here is a little videoguide of how it should work, watch video from 2:55.


Mounted Archery ✔

Can be unlocked in Singleplayed mode

Any range weapon that can be used on horses will do, but it is better to use bows, because the throwing weapon has low ammunition and low range.

Get on a horse and shoot at the heads of enemy troops without armor, shields and helmets.



Lance-a-lot ✔
Can be unlocked in Singleplayed mode

This achievement is a real pain in the ass for many players, lots of people even consider it buggy or not working correctly, but in fact everything is much simpler and the reason lies in the ignorance of some of the game mechanics.

To get the achievement, you will need a good maneuverable horse that picks up speed quickly, as well as a pole weapon that deals piercing damage. High level riding and polearm skills will be extremely useful.



You will need to find a polearm lance with a "Couched Lance" stat. When you are in combat and gaining more speed on a horse, an attack mode icon will appear in the lower right, next to your health indicators.


Many players make the mistake of attacking enemy soldiers with a normal LMB attack, in which case such kills do not count towards the achievement.

In order for the counter to move and you start your way to 500 kills, you need to press the X button by default while riding a horse fast. In this case, your character will put the lance forward and inflict crushing damage on the first enemy that gets in his way.



In this mode, the horse turns left/right very slowly, and your character will automatically exit the mode if you slow down or hit an obstacle.

When an enemy troop is successfully attacked by you, a purple message will appear at the bottom left, as well as damage statistics. For this achievement, your task is to kill 500 enemy soldiers in this way.

It is logical to assume that it will be easiest to deal with lightly armored foot troops in this way, such as recruits or archers. With a high polearm skill, and also taking into account the characteristics of your weapon, sometimes one cavalry attack can kill several enemy soldiers at once, so once you get used to it, you will be able to quickly rack up the desired amount of kills.
Roadkill ✔

Pick any mounted class and select Tougher Horse that makes more charge damage.



Then simply rush into enemy players on full speed to make charge damage. The damage from such an attack is not much, so already wounded opponents who can be finished off in this way will be your best target. Charge damage information is also shown in the lower left corner.

Ride it like you stole it ✔

Can be unlocked in Singleplayed mode

Remove horse from you equipment slot, if you have it.



Start any battle on your foot, find any free horse on the battlefield and simply get 5 kills.




Butcher of Calradia ✔

This is time consuming achievement. Captain Mode is a game mode within the Multiplayer section of Mount&Blade II: Bannerlord. It is based off of Sergeant Mode within the Single-Player portion of Bannerlord.



In this mode, players choose the type of troops they need from infantry to cavalry to control and become the commander of their squad. Since the mode is a 6v6 team deathmatch, your task is to defeat all enemy units or lower their morale to zero by capturing control points.

Players in this mode act as commanders, but the troops of your squad are ordinary bots. This achievement requires your warriors to kill enemy soldiers. Each kill in a match is displayed on the right side of the screen with an indication of who killed and who was killed, just like in single player. Luckily, Steam maintains a counter for this achievement, so you can always find out how many kills you have left before you unlock it.

Strike! ✔

Can be unlocked in Singleplayed mode

The achievement can be unlocked without using the mangonel. Hold the defense of your castle — enemy units often gather in large groups near siege towers and battering rams. Shoot at such a group of enemy soldiers and kill at least 3 of them with one shot.



Jack of All Trades ✔

This achievement can require help of your friends or other Bannerlord player, cause it can be hard to unlock it naturally. So you can unlock this only in Skirmish mode matches, which are not so popular. Skirmish is 6v6 PvP mode, you have to choose warrior class to play by spending your gold.
The more expensive class you choose, the less gold you will have for additional respawns. If you died and your gold is not enough to resurrect, then you are waiting for the end of the round.



Otherwise, it's a regular team deathmatch with capturing points. The achievement is difficult because the mode officially supports 12 players and in these conditions you need to get 5 kills with different weapons.

As it says in the description, you need to kill the enemy once with:
  • Melee weapons, on foot;
  • Ranged weapons, on foot;
  • Melee weapon, on horseback;
  • Long-range weapon, on horseback;
  • Cavalry lance strike (only mounted).
The Khuzait Khanate is the best for this achievement, they have heavy lancers and mounted archers that can be used to get the kills mounted and on foot.


I would recommend starting the game with a heavy mounted lancer and getting kills done with a cavalry strike as well as a melee weapon both on foot and on horseback. Then you need to die and choose a mounted archer if you have enough gold. Otherwise, you will have to choose a foot archer and mount the horse of a dead enemy or ally.

A skirmish match lasts up to 5 victories of one of the teams, so you have several attempts to get the achievement. Remember that with the start of a new round, all the kills must be done again. Try also to find unofficial servers with settings that increase the number of players, more opponents - more chances to kill someone.
Head hunter ✔

Choose any MP mode to play, except Captain, cause you need to make headshots only to enemy human players. Pick any range warrior class — archers, crossbowmen, mounted archers and etc.


Aim to the head and remember that every headshot you make it highlighted with purple sign in the left bottom side of the screen. It is better to shoot at other archers because they need to stand still during the shot, but the best targets for you will be those who push siege weapons - battering rams and siege towers.

Steam counter for this one supported, so you will always know how much headshots you need to unlock this.

This is Sparta!
Can be unlocked in Singleplayed mode

E button by default is kick. Use it to push enemy from highground to fall down and die.
Catch ✔
Can be unlocked in Singleplayed mode

It's easy enough to get while defending a castle or a city. In the gatehouse to the city and on the walls there are heaps of cobblestones that can be dropped on the heads of careless opponents.

Thrown boulders cause quite significant damage, so you can kill several troops at once. Do this and the achievement is yours.

Looking for party for MP achivements

@Der Schrobi Make sure that when you start the new campaign, you aren't clicking the skip tutorial option.

Start the new campaign. When you're in the cut scene with your brother at the training camp, click the first option that says "Play tutorial" or "Continue tutorial." TAB to exit the training camp as soon as you end the dialogue with your brother. You should then get a pop-up dialogue that tells you to go to Tevea. Go into the village and talk to the Headsman, you can press ALT once you're in the village to make it easier to find him, then TAB out of the village after you've talked to him and complete the two missions. Then you'll get a mission to defeat three roaming bandit parties. Finally, it'll give you a mission to go to the Radagos' hideout to look for your younger siblings. Duel him and win, you should see the achievement as the author described in a in-game day or two.

I just did it yesterday, hope this helps!

Do they not work in sandbox mode? I'm on the top of tournament board, won like 120 tournaments and killed a lot more than 500 people with a bow while on horse, but neither of these achievements unlocked for me.
