The following achievements are not specific to Mythological mode but they're easy so might as well get them out of the way.īoot up any battle, press Esc, click Photo Mode and press Space. I recommend doing this on another playthrough. Just a fun note, once your Antagonist faction appears, he will get one of the three mythic beasts possibly taking away the one you wanted.Īttach Cerberus into an army, left-click on his unit icon and press 'Pet'. Admittedly, this is a slightly harder achievement but certainly doable with some good planning.

As long as you win this battle before turn 49 is over (the number can be seen above the End Turn button), you will get this achievement. You CAN lose this battle but can retry it on the next turn. I recommend having some mid-tier units even if your economy is hurting and focusing down the beast once it appears as that immediately finishes the battle. Depending on your dilemma choices, your expedition army can be a great help here. This is a tough fight with Cerberus probably being the hardest since his units are unbreakable. If you're hurting for time, just watch the last section of each video that shows the recommended paths.Īfter the dilemmas conclude, your faction leader can be transported to battle the beast.

I've attached three guides made by Serious Trivia, a great gaming channel, on the best choices for these dilemmas.

You'll need 3 playthroughs because there are 3 mythic beasts that you can hunt down and it's more convenient if you do them on separate playthroughs.Īchieve a Total War victory with any faction in the mythic campaign. It doesn't really matter which mode you start off with but I'm assuming you're going for Mythological since it's the flashy new mode and is definitely the most fun.

When you begin a new campaign, you can choose which mode you want to play. That said, hammer and anvil are stil the name of the game - you'll just be relying on more mobile foot soldiers instead.Beginning the Journey with Mythological Mode These will mostly be light, medium and heavy infantry units, so you can forget about those sneaky hammer and anvil surprises with sneaky cavalry.
