'''How To''': Self-explanatory. Join a game and play as the berserker. It has to be a full round and lasts at least five minutes.
'''How To''': Become a Berserker, get angry, and let your rage drive for five minutes, after which you not remember how you got wherever you are, nor how you got covered in so much blood. Is that your blood? Nope, not much of it anyway.

Kill 1000 enemies while enraged.


'''Difficulty:''' Very Easy
'''Difficulty:''' Very Easy


'''How To''': Use the berserker special to become enraged while you are on low health (Bleeding Profusely), and let an enemy hit you a few times (no heavy knights though, they'll probably instant-kill you). When you have very little health left (About to be Pushing up Daisies), run away from the battle. Once the rage runs out, your extra health will vanish and you'll die.
'''How to:''' Fighting alongside teammates presents opportunities to quickly and efficiently finish off enemies weakened by them. It's much easier than trying to bring targets down from full health all by yourself.

'''How To:''' The big axe does a lot of damage, so you'll be able to get kills easily. However, 200 kills is a lot, so it will take some time before you get this achievement.
'''How To:''' Play Berserker normally for about five minutes. No, this advice is not attached to the wrong achievement.

'''Difficulty:''' Intermediate
'''Difficulty:''' Very Easy


'''How to:''' 100 enemies may seem little compared to the kill count for Chop Chop, but the axe/sword combo takes a lot more skill to use. Due to its short range and low damage, the combo is basically useless in an actual fight. The best chance for using the axe/sword combo are when chasing enemies (especially archers, since archers have low health and zerkers are faster than them), and finishing off enemies that are Pushing up Daisies.
'''How to:''' Play Berserker badly for about half an hour.

'''Difficulty:''' Very Hard


'''How to:''' As stated above, the axe/sword combo cannot be used for all occasions, so you'll have to know when to use the combo. Like all accumlated-damage achievements, this achievement recquires a lot of time to get, so the only real strategy to this is using the Berserker and his axe/sword combo actively and at the proper time.
'''How to:''' Okay, enough screwing around. There is no need to use, nor should you bother using, the sword & axe exclusively. Use the big axe until each Heavy Knight is weak, and switch to the sword & axe to finish them off. The longsword isn't quick enough to respond to a moderately-healthy Berserker swing multiple times per second (especially if enraged) with anything other than parries, so intersperse your strikes with charged backward attacks to keep them off balance until they drop.

'''How to:''' The berserker's enraged time is rather short, so you'll have to get a kill every few seconds. A good map for this is bt_massacre_v4. Try to get past the heavy knights and attack the archers in the back with your big axe. On your way, check the health of as many heavy knights as possible and try to finish off the ones that are Pushing up Daisies. A good opportunity would be when a gestir or huscral just used his combo at the knights. They'll be damaged and confused by the attack, allowing you to go in and finish them off.
'''How to:''' In a fight between Knights and Vikings, you'll probably be focused down before you can even think of getting even a single kill, enraged or not, so lurk in a Pirate base while they're winning a round of Booty.

Alternatively, you could try the same strategy when your team is winning a round of Booty and both teams are incidentally fighting each other. In any case, you will almost certainly achieve the next achievement regardless of whether or not you achieve this one.

How to: Contrary to the previous entry, this one is probably best attempted during a round of Trinket Wars, where everybody is trying to kill everybody else, making everybody weak and ripe for murderizing.

Destroy 3 shields in one life as Berserker.

Difficulty: Impossible

How to: First, find a Knight that really likes using their shield, either to defend themselves or to bash.
