Headhunter achievement

[Arrow915]

What requirements do you need? I know its an event but you need something to trigger it.
I currently have 93 duel experience and 6 ruthless experience along with the Duelist trait.

I have seen these on the wiki but i also saw a post from 'that Guy' and he only had 4 ruthless duel experience and he had the achievement but it didnt give him the bloodline.

Experience is not the same as levels. I had Ruthless Duelist x 4 (level 4 ruthless). Each level requires 5 ruthless experience. It rises 1 level with every 5 people you kill in duels. The duel experience thing is more tricky because Reknowned Duelist only rises with experience with real duels (mock duels are not counted).

Anyway, as long as you have the duelist trait, Ruthless Duelist x 4, and either Reknowned Duelist x 16 or Reknowned Duelist x 10 with Sneaky Duelist x 2, you will eventually get the achievement. There's a random chance of getting it after every duel once you meet the requirements. The bloodline is still bugged so that you can't get it though.

Thanks for this info. For the achievement, do you know if it matters how you got the duelist trait?

Does it have to be earned through the War Focus, or will it also count if you choose Duelist as part of the "Choose Military Aspect" feature of the Warrior Lodge?

I love your YouTube channel. Helped me with a lot of achievements.

It doesn't matter how you got the Duelist trait.

^ Good to know- Thanks!

Any tips/strategies to get this one?

I haven't had any ruthless or sneaky duel experience yet... how do you get it?

Winning duels isn't much of a problem by itself. I have complete tier 4 equipment and 11 bloodlines on my heirs, giving them 51 "natural" combat skill, so my newborns can easily overwhelm any seasoned warrior.

For the "ruthless" duel experience, you can duel your rivals, and it should give you the option to kill them if you win the duel.

If you don't have enough rivals, you can always antagonize a few folks, make them your rivals, then duel them. Be careful with doing ruthless duels too often, as it sometimes give you a -40 "Dishonorable" opinion modifier, which lasts for 5 years, and can stack if you do multiple dishonorable duels in a rolling 5 year period.

I think the "sneaky" duel experience is when you chose the "win by any means possible" before the match starts. If I have a character with deceitful trait, I usually get that option fairly regularly.

Thanks for advice. I'm pretty sure I never got any ruthless duel experience from killing opponents by choice, though, just regular experience. Will check again.

You gain 1 level ruthless duelist (1 level = 5xp) for every 5 killed (1kill = 1 xp) people in duels (if you get the choice, not if there is no other option).

^ Arrow915 - Thanks for sharing this. I am a fan of all your CK2 achievement videos.

Sorry for not recognizing your name in my earlier comments

Is it only a "Duellist" bloodline that prevents the achievement? I formed Valiant Blood of Khagan Arpad" (from ambition/100 kills). Despite 115 duel experience (and other pre-reqs) it's not firing.

[Arrow915]

Yeah you cant already have a duellist bloodline.
