Part 9

Learn how to get the 'Triple Boluk-Bashi' trophy in Battlefield 1 by taking down Ottoman officers with melee. Plus, tips for completing the campaign on Normal and Hard difficulties.

Alright, let's talk about a couple of specific challenges in Battlefield 1 that can snag you some nice trophies. We've got the 'Triple Boluk-Bashi' trophy, which is all about getting up close and personal with some officers, and then we'll cover how to wrap up the campaign for those completionist achievements.

25 Triple Boluk-Bashi* [Silver/40G]

This one's a bit tricky and requires you to be stealthy. The goal is to kill all 3 Ottoman officers in 'Young Men's Work' with melee attacks. This mission is part of the 'Nothing is Written' war story, specifically the second chapter.

Where to Find the Officers: Your main objectives in this mission will lead you to three military bases. These are located to the east, north, and west of where you start. Keep an eye on your minimap; these spots are marked with white diamonds. The officers you need to take down are the ones wearing dark clothing. If you spot one using R1 (or RB on Xbox), they'll be marked with a star symbol, making them easier to identify.

Strategy and Stealth: Stealth is definitely your best friend here. You'll want to move quietly by crouching and use empty cases to lure guards away from the officers. The usual stealth rules apply, so be patient and pick your moments.

Important Notes & Missable Trophies:

• Completing this trophy also unlocks the 'T.E. Lawrence' codex entry, which specifically requires you to kill one officer with a melee attack.
• However, if you kill officers using other methods, you might miss out on other codex entries: 'Gertrude Bell' (for killing an officer with a bolt-action rifle) and 'Tanks in the Desert' (for killing another with a tank). You might want to go for those first, then restart the chapter, or come back later using chapter select.
• Good news: you don't need to get all three melee kills in one go. You can get one, restart, and then get the other two. Some players have even managed this from horseback, though two of the commanders tend to hide indoors, making that approach difficult.
• Just a fun fact: 'Boluk-Bashi' was an Ottoman officer rank, similar to a Captain.

Campaign Completion

Alright, let's talk about finishing the game and grabbing those completion trophies. Battlefield 1 has three difficulty settings: Easy, Normal, and Hard, and you can choose any of them right from the start.

Setting Difficulty: You can change the difficulty whenever you start a new story or chapter from the campaign menu. The difficulty you've selected will be highlighted in white. The chapter select screen is super helpful – it shows icons to let you know if you've completed a chapter on Easy (circle), Normal (square), or Hard (diamond).

IMPORTANT: After you've finished the prologue and all the story chapters, you absolutely *must* play the video 'Remember Us' from the story select screen to officially complete the campaign. Don't skip this!

• After beating the game for the first time (especially on Hard), you'll unlock the M1909 Benét–Mercié machinegun (Trench-Clearer variant).

26 The Great War [Bronze/10G]

This trophy requires you to complete the campaign on Normal difficulty. Just play through all the war stories on this setting.

27 The War to End All Wars* [Silver/40G]

This one's for the hardcore players: complete the campaign on Hard difficulty. Again, you'll need to play through all the chapters on this toughest setting.

Stacking Trophies: The great thing is that these two campaign completion trophies stack. If you manage to beat the game on Hard, you'll automatically get the Normal difficulty trophy too!

Field Manuals Completion

Field manuals are the main collectibles in the campaign. You'll find them hidden in small wooden crates scattered throughout most of the levels. There are 13 chapters with five field manuals each, and one chapter has just one, bringing the total to 66 collectibles.

No Missables: The good news is that there are no missable field manuals. If you miss any, you can always go back and grab them later using the chapter select option. The menu will show you how many you still need from each chapter.

Finding Them: While the Trophy Trail section (which we'll cover elsewhere) has details, videos are often way easier for finding collectibles, especially on the large maps in Battlefield 1. I highly recommend checking out video guides if you're struggling.

Risk of Missing Out: Be careful in certain chapters where it's easy to accidentally finish the mission before you've found all the collectibles. If you're hunting for field manuals, make that your priority before heading to the main objectives. The Trophy Trail will point out the chapters with the highest risk of this happening!
