How to confederate lords as Be'lakor?

[ikko]

What are the conditions required to confederate other legendary lords of chaos? I defeated Valkia in battle but the confederate prompt didn't trigger.

from the 2.1 patch notes (when the ability for archaeon and be'lakor to confed other chaos LLs was added):


Archaon the Everchosen and Be’lakor can now confederate others Warriors of Chaos factions via a new settlement occupation option. This is triggered upon capturing their last available settlement.
Upon confederation, only vassals and Legendary Lords will be transferred; all other characters and armies will be destroyed.


It's going to be one of the options next to "raze", "sack", etc. WoC aren't like Norsca or Greenskins, it doesn't fire from beating them on the field.
Also, note the difference with other factions confederating: you don't get any of their other armies.

Take all their settlements the last one will give the option to force confederation. Assuming an AI doesn't take their last settlement.

Valkia is a fun confederation. I save scum the **** for her and Sigvald. You gotta death-lock her until all her settlements are dead, along with Sigvald. Otherwise, they'll keep leveling and possibly putting more points into blue or red lines. Takes 4-5 turns to resurrect so it gives you leeway.

But my recent confederation order, on Belakor, on VH/VH, was turn 1, don't even fight, straight for the crystal. Teleport toward Festus. Festus > Azrael > Archaeon > Kollek > Villich > Create a crystal, back home. > Give Archaeon an Army and split Belakor + Archaeon toward Valkia and Sygvald respectively to death lock them. Last run, I had to avoid capturing a Fortress, because it gave me vassals, and Sigvald resurrected and started gaining levels off my vassals. Couldn't have that so had to savescum and re-do the tactic.

Basically you just need to take the last settlements of another WoC faction and you will be given the option to confederate them alongside the usual, Occupy, Sack, Raze, ect.

I've read somewhere that you can also use agents to confederate the other WoC factions?

No you can't, as Be'lakor you can put marks on human faction lords to get demon princes undivided, after some rounds.
