How to kill Kill Attila?

[󠀡]

Is it possible to kill him? i've defeated him 2 times and he wont die

As the campaign unfolds, the actions of Attila and the ebb and flow of the Hunnic Empire wield significant influence over the unfolding narrative. Thy strategic decisions and battles fought against the Hunnic forces do contribute to the broader conflict, offering a chance to challenge and potentially subdue their mighty empire. However, despite the fervour of thy conquests, Attila himself remains beyond the grasp of a direct confrontation or individual demise (plot armour).

Whilst thou shalt clash against the Hunnic armies and endeavour to dismantle their hegemony, the fate of Attila is intricately woven within the tapestry of history, adhering to predetermined events and outcomes (plot armour). Thus, as thou marcheth forward, know that thy exploits shall shape the world, but the final destiny of Attila the Hun lies preordained (plot armour), untouched by thy hand as a player in the grand symphony of Total War: Attila.

That is a blatant lie. Attila can be permanently killed and then the Hun cheats turn off and the faction can be destroyed. It takes defeating Attila 3-5 times after he become the faction leader, and then the game triggers a "Man not a God" Event, where Attila loses his respawn power, and if you manage to kill him again he's dead and you get his death event, at which point no more respawning hordes with end game tier units.

That was honestly one of the epic parts of my Western Roman Empire play through of that event triggering after chasing him down from a massive battle where two armies of Rome managed to repel Attila and his 4 hordes, even if the reinforcing general valiantly gave his life. Then following his last respawn a northern garrison general managed to win a Phyrric Victory against his horde and ran Attila and his retreating horde down with every mercenary he could hire in the province.

*CLUTCHES PEARLS*

I appreciate your input regarding the game play mechanics of Attila in the game you mentioned. However, based on my knowledge, it seems that there might be some confusion or misinformation. To the best of my understanding, Attila cannot be permanently killed in the game. While it is true that defeating him multiple times can trigger certain events, such as the "Man not a God" Event, Attila will still retain the ability to re spawn and continue leading his faction.

The mechanic you described, where defeating Attila 3-5 times triggers an event that weakens him and removes his re spawn power, is not consistent with the information I have. As far as I know, the game does not feature a mechanism that permanently eliminates Attila or disables his faction. This design choice likely allows for ongoing challenges and game play, ensuring that the threat of Attila and his hordes persists throughout the game.

OK so i got an achievement for killing him, but when i look at the Huns faction he's still the leader, is that achievement bugged?

I'm also doing the WRE, on legendary difficulty, I've also done the This is Total war achievement this run when i complete it, and the one for never auto-resolving, but the Huns are the last faction i need to destroy and it seems like they're just re-spawning, if i can't wipe them out do i just have to survive to 450?

If he's still the faction leader he's not dead yet, and I think difficulty may up how many times you have to defeat/kill him. He can only die after you trigger the "Man not a God" Event. Attila the Dead merely triggers when you manage to kill him, even if his respawn is still on.

Some also suggest you may need to be in Chapter 4 before he can die for good as well.

[Plok!]

With fire.

This is going to sound a bit silly but I didn't think he was that much of a factor unless you're playing his faction.

Never really got into Attila. Keep meaning to give it a good go tho.

The irony is Attila in this game is actually the downfall of the Huns, rather than their glorious leader, since his death turns off their special cheats and renders them as defeatable as the White Huns, Sabirs, and such.

Sounds like a cool mechanic, I can't believe I wasn't aware of it. I figured it was just like Napoleon total war, just a total war game but with a story based around Napoleons campaigns, I didn't think it was a major mechanic.

Oh yeah its a thing its just a major pain in the ass, especially, since if you kill their starting hordes or the AI does the new ones start spawning with end game tier units, when your still on tier 2/3 research.
