Burning Vengeance achievement bugged?
I have trouble obtaining the last achievement "Burning Vengeance".
I have killed at least 10 Berserkers on fire, using executions. I've set him on fire, either using Fire Arrow or throwing him into a camp fire and then executed him using Combat Finisher while charged or directly using Storm of Urfael.

Still no luck, achievement won't popup.

Anyone having the same issue?

Hey CyberAngel,

Would it be possible to get a video of this occurring?

SAme here. Also the achievement with branding 5 bodyguards and then getting them to betray their war chief. It irked me pretty bad cause i spent some time branding and intitating captins.

Hey Bard_13,

Are you only missing the achievement Burning Vengeance at this time? If so, was it the last achievement you have attempted to unlock?

I had some difficultys with that one aswell.
Watching the video it looks like you were just to slow. I figured it had something to do with them die to the fire while still standing (being attackable) / or just taking to much dmg.
Try to remove your runes, don't hit the berserker before you throw him and jump over the fire instead of around it.
That's what worked for me...
Saw a video of someone doing with a fire explosion, though that never worked for me.

It's just another try... I was lightning fast in another try and it still didn't count.
First time I attempted the achievement on purpose was with it being among the last 6. All other achievements popped up as expected, there's no reason for it not unlocking.

Hey, Tzad! Thanks for the advice on the RUNES! All I did was swap the runes on Urfael from the Epics to some ordinary ones. The achievement popped up on the first try.

a proof of the achievement in the same situation doing the same move with a different set of runes

I struggles with this as well. If you're struggling, wait just a second for the uruk to catch alight. I tried by throwing the berserker into a fire by a wall and IMMEDIATELY executing. Didn't work. Same with the fire arrows. Just now I shot a grog barrel, ran 5m over to the berserker and killed him. Worked like a charm.

I got 100% achievements without problems. Hope they fix it for you soon!

I had that problem too. It didn't work at my first try when I used Fire Arrow and then execution but it worked the next time.

I tried both fire arrow way and camp fire way for nearly 20 times, neither worked. By the way, mine is xbox one version, but I think it doesn't matter.

I repeat my solution to the problem:

HI, I am having the same issue and it IS the last achievement I have yet to do (excluding the DLC's achievements, I haven't purchased that yet).
Is there a known issue if it's the final achievement?
I have tried all the tips, such as removing epic runes from weapons; fire arrow, throwing the beserker into a fire, nothing seems to work, it just doesn't unlock...
Thanks!

I am having the same issue too (PS4 version, Flame arrow + Execution method). Swaping just one legendary rune to ordinary is working. Hurray!
