With the delay of Total War: Warhammer 3’s release to February, Creative Assembly snuck in a poorly-held surprise for Kislev fans – the previous Tzar, Boris Ursus, is still alive and can be recruited to join the player’s forces. Just like anything in Kislev, you’re going to have to work for Boris’ allegiance. Here are the steps needed to unlock Boris in Warhammer 3.

The first step to unlocking Boris Ursus is to play as either the Ice Court, Tzarina Katarin’s faction, or the Great Orthodoxy, Grand Patriarch Kostaltyn’s faction. While playing as one of these factions, you must capture and hold for 10 turns Kislev’s three keystone cities – Kislev, Praag, and Erengrad. Once you’ve held off any incursions and secured your position a quest battle marker will appear, prompting the player to fight for Boris’ fate.

The second step is for players to play through the quest battle and successfully prevail over the Daemonic forces. Once the quest battle and cutscenes play out, Boris should become available to the player’s faction in your current campaign as an army commander. In addition, Boris will be available in the campaign Legendary Lord selection screen with their own Kislevite faction and they will be available for custom battles in both single and multiplayer modes.

With Boris unlocked, players will have the full Kislev Legendary lord roster at their disposal. Ensure that Kislev doesn’t fall to the unending tide of Chaos and gives the other human realms time to prepare.

Total War: Warhammer 3 is available on PC.
