Path to Glory is a unique mechanic for the Warriors of Chaos introduced in Total War: Warhammer III.
Overview[ | ]
The Path to Glory grants Lords and Heroes unique bonuses, abilities and the option of transforming them into God-dedicated characters and eventually into Daemon Princes* by completing various challenges and spending Souls.
The Path to Glory is divided by two sections: Boons of Chaos & Marks of Chaos.
*Only Lords are able to transform into Daemon Princes.
