Guardians of Middle Earth Achievement Guide

If you're looking to 100% this game because you're a fan of mobas, are a lotr purest, or maybe you received it in a bundle & it's been sitting in your library for just that long. You have came to the right place! Below you will find the most recent & up to date achievement guide for this dead wasteland of game ENJOY!

Introduction

Twenty eight out of twenty nine achievements in GOME can be completed solo. It is only "No Head Left Uncracked - Damage every Guardian once in 5 vs 5 Matches" that requires an extra player to complete as there are certain characters that the computer never selects. Though finding a plus one either in the forums or comment section below should not prove to difficult. (NOTE: When going for the 5v5 achievements. It takes the computer 5 minutes to notice that no one is online & puts you in a match with all hard robots)

Solo Achievements (Part 1)

Honor in Death
Fall on the Battleground


Easiest achievement all you need to do is simply die.

Win Your Way
Win a Private Match


Simply make a custom game & win it.

Rule Them All
Win any 3-Lane 5 vs 5 or Co-Op vs Bots Match


Even though this achievement states that you need to win any 5v5 or coop vs bots match, this is false. This achievement can only be obtained by winning a coop vs bots match.

Foe's Bane
Achieve a Kill Streak of 3 in any 5 vs 5 Match


This can be obtained through natural game progression or while boosting "Renowned" (See below in Multiplayer Recommended Achievements)

(MVG) Most Valuable Guardian
Earn a combined Guardian Kill/Assist Streak of 8 in any 5 vs 5 Match


This can be obtained through natural game progression or while boosting "Renowned" (See below in Multiplayer Recommended Achievements)

Rise to the Top
Reach Level 14 in any 5 vs 5 Match


You will more than likely be level fourteen by the end of most matches so I would not worry about this one.

Capture the Power
Capture 15 Shrines total in any 5 vs 5 Matches


(Cumulative) Just keep capturing shrines in each match and you'll soon unlock this one.

Draught of Courage
Use 4 Potions in any 5 vs 5 Match


Start a match. Not equipping any items to your belt & potions bar the game will ask you if you want to use that guardians default belt, potions, & commands. Hit yes. Once in game simply use all four of your potions & the achievement will unlock.

Master Mason
Upgrade 3 Towers in any 5 vs 5 Match


Once you reach level six walk up to a tower & press "U" select the "Quickfire Tower" This is the only option you can select at this level which is located on the left. Repeat two more times & this achievement will be yours.

Rally the Troops
Build 6 Soldier Upgrades total in 5 vs 5 Matches


(Cumulative) Once you reach level six walk up to a soldier deployment station & press "U" select the "Barracks" This is the only option you can select at this level which is located on the left. Repeat five more times & this achievement will be yours.

All Falls Before You
Destroy 5 Soldier Upgrades total in 5 vs 5 Matches


(Cumulative) Whether you choose to get this in a one or three lane 5v5 match make sure that when your A.I allies go to destroy it that YOU get the last hit otherwise your destroys will not count.

Drive Them Back
Achieve a Multi-Kill of 2 in any 5 vs 5 Match


Most easily achieved in a one lane 5v5 match using Agandaur (Suggested Relics & Gems are listed below under in Enchanted Build)

Ultimate Vengeance
Use an Ultimate Ability to defeat an Enemy Guardian in any 5 vs 5 Match


Can be easily unlocked using the same method as listed above.

In Command
Use a Tier-4 Command in any 5 vs 5 Match


Even though this achievement states that you must use a tier 4 command in any 5v5 match, this is false. You will have to kill the opponent in a 5v5 match using a tier 4 command for this to unlock. First things first you're going to want to select "Summon Defence" which is located in the top right corner of your commands. This move summons either an Ent or Balrog which will lower their resistance by 30% as well as damage them for 6% of their max health for the next 7 seconds. It is best to get the enemy down to around 10-15% health before casting.

Collector
Kill or Assist a Guardian from each Class once in any 5 vs 5 Matches


(Cumulative) If you are sufficiently attacking/ defending you should get this through natural progression. If not simply hunt down & kill every member of the enemy team at least once. The enemy team always chooses one of each class & never two of the same character. This makes it easy for you to mark down who you have and haven't killed.

And My Axe
Achieve an Assist Streak of 5 in any 5 vs 5 Match


If you wish to get this achievement done quickly I suggest one lane 5v5 match. It is possible to get this in three lane but chances are that it would take much longer. Damage an enemy close to death & then let your comrade finish them off. Repeat four more times.

Seasoned
Earn 5 Accolades in any single 5 vs 5 Match


(Unlocked at end of the match) To obtain this achievement you must complete five accolades (in game tasks) in a single match. Aim for more that five to be safe. Here's a list of a few of them to get you started.

• First Shrine Captured
  
• Most Shrines Captured
  
• First Tower Upgraded
  
• Most Towers Upgraded
  
• First Soldier Den Upgraded
  
• Most Soldier Dens Upgraded
  
• First Tower Destroyed
  
• Most Towers Destroyed.
  
• Last Hit On The Final Tower

• Zero Kills
  
• Longest Time Survived
  
• Fewest Deaths
  
• Longest Distance Travelled
  
• Least Amount of Healing Used
  
• Player Who Used Most Commands

Notches in the Axe
Earn 50 Accolades total in any 5 vs 5 Matches

Take note of some of the accolades I have listed under above. As long as you are unlocking one or two a match this should come through steady progression towards your 100 wins in 5v5 matches.

Multiplayer Recommended Achievements

Renowned
Earn 20 Guardian Kills in any 5 vs 5 Match


You are welcome to try this one on your own though I would highly recommend boosting this with a friend in a three lane 5v5 match.

Multiplayer Achievements

No Head Left Uncracked
Damage every Guardian once in 5 vs 5 Matches


Personally I have only ever seen the computer select Hildifons, Gandalf, Wulfrun, Gollum, Ugluk, Gothmog, Eowyn, Beregond, Thrain, & Lugbol. That means that the remainder of the characters must be selected by another player in a 5v5 match for you to damage. Games will need to be completed for them to register & there is no in game counter for this achievement so it is best for you to keep track of who you have & have not damaged. ( I suggest working on "In The Light - Play as every Good Guardian once in 5 vs 5 Matches" & "Servant of the Shadows - Play as every Evil Guardian once in 5 vs 5 Matches" alongside this achievement as it will save you some time.)
