Executing lvl 20 Captain in Online Vendetta Mission

[Da Nut Crackah]

So, trying to get this done for the challenge on the Bright Lord Sword and am having the worst time of it. Everytime I go to execute the captain they get the last word cut scene thing, and killing them that way didn't count, so I let it fail, get full might again and come back. Problem is, they always seem to get themselves killed some other way. I ♥♥♥♥ you not, they are enraged by everything and start attacking their followers, only they are using a poisoned weapon and the followers end up giving the poison back to them and killing them lol. One got hit by a spear another Uruk threw, one got finished by a caragor, one I misjudged how much stealth attack would take out and ended up killing him when I just wanted to get his health low enough for the execute to finish him off, one straight up ran into some fire and killed himself that way. And one I messed up cuz apparently explosions can do dzmage straight through buildings (not a corner mind you, fully on the opposite side of a building, and far enough away I wouldnt have thought it would reach even if there wasnt a building in the way). I take off all my status effect gear, they definitely just manage to kill themselves. It feels like the game is trolling me at this point. In any case, looking for some advice. Seems like the online vendettas are the only ones that always get last words on executes, or im just getting unlucky - are there any traits I can avoid so I dont have to deal with this? Or is it just gonna be trial and error?

I'm afraid it's just gonna be trial and error my friend. You just gotta keep trying until you succeed. I know it sucks, but there are no shortcuts for the Vendetta challenges (at least not that I know of). ):

Maybe try executing them on a Caragor if he isnt beast proof.

You are like a hit man who’s only still got a career because whenever you get close to their target the target ends up tripping down a flight of stairs or something

My best advice is to check what enrages the captain and avoid doing that so he doesn’t attack his own dudes. Try not to release random beasts like caragors and guags, not sure about spiders

I dont care about the qte thing, except that triggering it with an execution and then finishing them in the qte doesnt actually count as an execution. Was wondering if there is a specific reason or trait that causes them to get the qte, because if there is and I can keep an eye out for one that I can avoid that in, it will mean not having to almost kill them, then come back after recharging might, which is when they always manage to get themselves killed.

lmao, its so true. And im not releasing beasts, for some reason they just show up at times. Like i was fighting a captain on a wall, high up, and out of nowhere theres now a graug smashing him to death. There were no graugs nearby, no graugs in cages, and no bait that I mistakenly triggered.
