The Path to Glory screen. Click to expand.

Path to Glory is a unique mechanic for the Warhost of the Apocalypse 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.
