    After spending an annoying amount of time trying to get a level 25 rune, I've compiled information regarding how the rune calculations work. This also works for the level 30 rune achievement, just have the Warchief be level 25, rather than 20.

    The rune you get from killing a Warchief or a Captain is tied to their level + several modifiers. You kill a level 17 Captain with no modifiers, you'll get a level 17 rune, etc. The modifiers are as follow:

    +2 for being a Warchief
    +1 for having a Death Threat against them
    +1 for knowing their weaknesses
    +1 for killing them with their weakness (must be an insta-kill weakness, very difficult to get a level 25 Warchief or Captain who still has one)
    +1 for exploiting a fear/rage
    +1 for being a revenge target (they've previously killed you)

    The fastest way that I've found is to get a Warchief to level 25, have him kill you, know his weaknesses, and have a death threat on him. Now, the important thing to note is that if you kill the Warchief, it's likely that you'll get an Epic Rune rather than a level-based one. The way around this is if you have the Warchief die by means other than yourself, such as a wild caragor/graug, or a branded Uruk (I used the Warchief's bodyguards to accomplish this), he will be guaranteed to drop a level-based rune. You can still get a level-based rune by killing him yourself, but why take the chance? Hope this helps anyone who had issues like myself.

    L4DANathanGame is still version 1951.27, Steamdb must either be wrong or it's something unrelated like the Steam page being updated.

    WattoJust for clarity, the solution works perfectly, exactly as it is described. Level 20/25 war chief, with death threat + revenge kill + known weaknesses + letting your branded kill him = achievement unlocked.

    Essa conquista é semelhante à conquista “Perdição Poderosa“. Porém nessa conquista aqui você precisará pegar uma runa de nível 30, durante a Prova do Anel, é uma questão de planejamento e observação cuidadosa como na outra conquista. O sistema de nivelamento das runas é baseado tanto no nível do chefe quanto nas circunstâncias em que você o derrota.

    Como funciona:

    O nível máximo de um chefe é 25.
    O nível da runa obtida aumenta se você explorar forças e fraquezas do inimigo durante a luta.
    Chefe também ganham nível ao vencer batalhas de poder ou matar Talion.
    Estratégia:

    Encontre um chefe de nível 20 e conheça seus pontos fracos e fortes.
    Deixe ele matá-lo uma vez para que a próxima luta se torne uma vingança.
    Ao enfrentar o chefe novamente, abuse das fraquezas ou provoque suas forças (como deixar ele entrar em fúria).
    Derrote o chefe para receber a runa com o nível desejado.

    Cálculo da Runa:

    +25 por ser nível 25
    +1 por conhecer pontos fortes ou fracos
    +1 por explorar uma força ou fraqueza
    +2 por matar um chefe
    +1 por uma morte de vingança

    Aviso: Evite usar a Jura de Morte nessa situação, pois ela converte a runa em uma lendária, e isso não contará para a conquista que exige runa comum de nível 30.
