Mount & Blade Warband 100% Achievement Guide

This guide will help you get all the achievements in the easiest and fastest way.

Things to do\know before you start grinding M&B:W achievements

There are some rules/tricks you have to know if you want to get your achievements in the easiest and fastest way.

|_1_| Play as a female character. You need to play as a woman to get some of the achievements and by doing so you can get two or even three at once! :)

|_2_| Play on the easiest difficulty. Why would you want to make your life harder than it already is?

|_3_| Play in Native. It's true, you can get all the achievements when playing on mods, but some players are reporting some issues (for ex. with "Man Handler" achievement). Besides Native doesn't have many castles/cities and is the easiest to play.

|_4_| Multiplayer is hard. Enough said not everyone is pro and since M&B isn't new title on the market people playing multiplayer are mostly very skilled. Remember then, that you can create your own server and play with bots. They aren't easy either but you should do all the MP achievements without a single problem. It's just time-taking grind.


click on host a game to create your own Achievement grinding fantasy



1) Set password on your server for safety causes
2) Set game type ( depends on achievement you are grinding)
3) Set number of bots that you want to fight with.

Remember that you don't have to play till the end of the round, when you are winning but the game isn't over yet simply press "esc" and then go to administrator panel, start a new game/round and you will get the achievement for winning that previous round.


|_5_| Do you even lift? Is your hero weak but you don't want to grind skills and persk? Use Import/Export function. Remember that you cannot get achievements when you are using cheats, but doing as I instruct works just fine.

1) Start the game (you may y create totally random character).
2) After speaking with merchant go to "Character" on world map)

I'm using some graphic mods and I'm way to lazy to uninstall them for the show :3

3) Click on the "Statistics" button.

4) Export your character by clicking on "Export"


5) Now save (!) and close the game, then go to your M&B folder in Documents (default C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Mount&Blade Warband
6) Go to the folder Characters and find Text Document with your character name.
7) Open it with Notepad and edit your hero whatever you like, then close the document. (Remember to save the changes!)
8) Start your game and load save with your game, go to the Statistic panel and press "Import"
9) PROFIT?

|_6_| Remember -> press "ctrl + space" to travel faster on the world map.

Originally posted by Bartimaerus:

Enable cheats, go back into the game , press Ctrl + W (Your weapon skills will increase) Do that until (for example) your two handed skill is up to 249. Then leave the game, disable cheats and rejoin. And now you just have to kill some peasants or whatever you like to kill ;) and when you reach the 250, youll get the achievment! (It works, I tried it)

Khaaan!

Get yourself a bow and a horse. You can get this achievement fairly easy during tournaments in Narra, Tulga and Ichamur.
Steamuser @bifutake found even easier way to do this achievement. Props to you sir!

Originally posted by bifutake:

The easiest way to get the "Khaaan!" achievement is by equipping yourself with a horse, bow and arrows and then attacking some helpless farmers. At the start of the battle tell your army to hold position and hold fire. That way they refrain from stealing your kills. Revert to your save file when you're done grinding the achievement if you wanna avoid bad faction relations. If your progress isn't showing, exit the game and let Steam synchronize.

Well I did this achievement by throwing an axe randomly into the air... That's not very professional is it? I quess you need a bit of luck for this one.

Steam user WolfauraRose (again, thank you very much mate) for the rescue with an easier way to do this achievement:

Do a custom battle with 100% archers 200 army both sides and use the sarranid girl with jarids. Approach the enemy army and from being far away as in just seeing the enemy, throw the jarrid into the 200 mass army and you'll get a 5 difficulty shot. Distance is the key.

For Multiplayer achievements look at Tip |_4_| in the first chapter of this guide.

Manifest Destiny
Assist your faction in conquering Calradia.

Conquer all cities and castles. Defend everyone while being a part of one of the kingdoms. Easiest way to do that is to join Nord's and train huskarl's army or Rhodok's as they are pretty good when it comes to defense.

Girl Power
As a female character, help a female claimant reclaim her throne.

This achievement was bugged in the past, works in Native now. Play as a female character and join Lady Isolla of Suno, a claimant to the throne of the Kingdom of Swadia or Arwa The Pearled One - claimant to the throne of the Sarranid Sultanate. If you are having a problems with finding specific claimant then ask Traveler about their place of residence. I recommend that your character should have very high persuasion skill, convincing nobles to join your kingdom is much faster than conquering all cities and castles. You will also get an "Kingmaker" achievement if you haven't completed it yet.

Kassai Master
You have completed the following achievements: Trick Shot, Khaaan!, Agile Warrior, and Harassing Horseman.

Achievement grind-related, unmissable.

Empress
As a female character, become queen of all Calradia

Check "The Golden Throne" achievement.

[NamelesslyNavnløs]

For Trick Shot and Old School Sniper do siege (defense) on Ulbas Castle. Set your army only horsemen, so they won't leave the castle & kill your all targets. Faction should not matter. Set enemies to 90 or more, they'll be an easier target. Set ALL to archers. They will do nothing but fire at you & your army, even when shot from a distance by you. Set the enemy faction to bandits. This is just a precaution since it's the faction I got my achievements with, but it may work with others if the rest of my steps are followed. I used Aethrod for bow but should work with any other bow archer. You'll have to use this setup twice if you want both achievements in one go. Start the battle. You'll want to head toward the back of the castle from your spawn & jump down the wall to the outside of the castle. Next, head into the hills behind & left the castle. Your enemies should be visible, bunched together on a hill in front of the castle, & it will just be a matter of lining up your shot.

[deluxe12E]

is it possible to get empress without the golden throne...

[pseća voda]

Is there any way to not have to conquer the entirety of Calradia twice, once as a ruler and once as a vassal, to get both "Manifest Destiny" and the other conquer Calradia achievements? Seems like a HUUUGE time grind to have to conquer all of Calradia TWICE just for a couple of achievements.

[kanashimih]

thanks mate!

[Mr. Goober]

I got the "Talk of the town" achievement just by completing the first tutorial battle against the 4 bandits. Maybe it stacks with previous female characters renown?

[Instant]

Got Milk?
Steal 3 cattle from a single village. But stealing 27 cow per time won't make an achivment
Actyally steal 3 cattle times from the single village and no matter how many cattle you get per time

[Aethelia]

I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but Empress can be achieved by winning as a vassal of the Sarranids... if you got Arwa the Pealed One as their leader first. The same is probably true for Lady Isolda of Suno too? It must only check if the the leader is a woman when the game ends, but doesn't actually check the leader is also the player. I now have Empress without having The Golden Throne because of this.

[Lain2rizzy]

For "The Bandit" you can attack the same caravan 3 times, leaving each time instead of charging the enemy. This speeds it up a fair bit.

[Corvo]

If anyone is having trouble with the "Manifest Destiny" achievment, I recommend you follow this:

Tutorial from a random guy on a reddit M&B sub

Got stucked for days (yeah real life, not in game days) to get this achievment, till I found something to help. You basically need to manually change some values from the game scripts that get messed up when your kings start going on that crazy loop of kicking vassals between factions. Pretty easy to do and got me the achievment. :)

[Tombstone Jack]

Should be worth noting all multiplayer achievements can be earned offline
