Passage of missions
1. Prologue
Hero Talion examines the killed loved ones. Looking at the broken sword, he remembers how he taught the martial arts to his son named Dirael. In this memory, we study the basic controls in the game:
Left mouse button (LMB) - sword strike,
Right mouse button (RMB) - blocking the enemy's blow,
Shift + LMB - finish off a fallen enemy,
Spacebar - run,
Spacebar + Ctrl - Knock down an enemy.
In the next memory, connected with the hero's wife - Ioret, we study covert movement. We hold Shift and go to sneak up on my wife. After that, we also sneak up on three enemies and kill them.
In the end, the hero remembers how his family and himself were killed. The hero did not die completely, but was stuck between light and darkness in the world of spirits. Here we meet the spirit of the killed elf. Together with him, we have to avenge our death to one of the highest sorcerers of Mordor, nicknamed the Black Hand.
2. Search for a slave trader
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Walkthrough
In the form of an elf, we reforge the hero's blade (the "Ctrl" key). We approach the edge of the tower and jump down. We take out the bow and quickly kill four uruks with arrows at once (hold RMB, hold LMB to enhance the shot, release LMB to shoot).
An Uruk killer sneaks up behind us, but the hero neutralizes him in time. We interrogate the killer: we capture the enemy (hold down "Ctrl", press "space"), start the interrogation (without releasing "Ctrl", press "space" again). We get information about one captain of Sauron's army - his name is Gimub the Slaver. Our next main task is to kill this captain.
Hero selection system
After the unification, we became one with the elf. We control a man who wields a sword. But we can turn into a spirit ("V" key), and then an elf with a bow appears. Elf shots can kill enemies from afar, but the number of arrows is limited (the number is indicated as blue bars in the lower left corner below the map), so you need to spend them wisely.
Minimap, global map
On the game minimap (in the lower left corner of the screen), all nearby enemies and bonuses such as healing herbs are visible. Turn on the global map (key "M"). This lists the location of all quests and artifacts. The whole map is divided into separate areas. Now we are in a shadow fortress in the Udun Foothills area, and we need to go north - to the Black Gate area.
We jump off the cliff, we notice a lot of orcs around, among them there are even several captains. But do not immediately run into the crowd of enemies, it is better to use stealth.
Having reached the goal, we come close to the golden sign, turn on the main task.
Killing a Slaver
Objective: Identify Gimub
We pass into the world of spirits (key "V"), we find a red silhouette in front, this is the boss, examine it (key "X").
Bonus Objective: Kill 4 archers. From the beginning of the level, we go to the left, climb the tower, quietly kill the first archer from behind. We collect a couple of arrows on the wall. From here we can shoot the 3 remaining archers.
Objective: Kill Gimub
Before the battle, you can also kill ordinary warriors so that they do not help the boss during the battle.
We climb to the top floor, imperceptibly jump on the boss from above, so we will take away 50 - 75% of his health. In close combat, we finish off the boss.
As a reward we get +600 experience, +50 for additional mission, as well as the legendary rune for the dagger - creepy voices(when killing a captain or leader, concentration and health are fully restored).
3. Suspicious fellow traveler
Shadow of Mordor. Tips, hints
Task: follow the trail
During a conversation with a freed slave, we notice in the distance strange creature. Let's follow in his footsteps. We pass into the world of spirits to see the trace of the creature.
Bonus Objective: Free 4 Slaves.
We kill the first enemy on the way, and free the first slave.
Ahead will be a group of several orcs. When we kill them, we will free 3 more slaves.
Along the way, we notice a ghostly tower. We turn into an elf, climb the tower, use the anvil there. After that, quick access to four more areas of the map will open.
Objective: Explore the cave
The creature runs into the cave, follow him. We climb to the second floor.
(If you have already completed the first survival test, you will find the Lothrond plant here, which is required for the second test).
We enter the world of ghosts, examine the luminous platform on the floor, find the elf medallion. Immediately after this, the creature runs out of the cave, and we are attacked by a predatory animal Karagor. We shoot the beast in the head (hold down "RMB", press "space" to slow down time, hold down "LMB").
Objective: Escape the cave while following the strange creature
Bonus Objective: Eliminate 7 Enemies. Outside, we are attacked by a squad of orcs, but now there are spear-throwing Uruk hunters among them. We kill long-range enemies with archery shots, we finish off the rest. We pick up arrows on the ground, and shoot the second ran out beast Kragor.
Objective: Find the creature
We find the creature in the crevice of the cave. We learn that a creature named Gollum can see the spirit of an elf. His task is to lead the elf to his treasures.
The building is completed. +600 experience, +50 experience for extra. task.
4. Spirit of Mordor
Middle-earth: Shadows of Mordor. Tips, hints
We approach the golden quest located on the left side of the global map. We find an orc tied to a pole. His name is Rat. He promises to help us in the showdown with the captains of the orcs. The first target is his sworn enemy - Goroth the Karagorov Tamer (strength 6).
Objective: Follow the Rat
Bonus Objective: Rat Man's health should stay above 50%
We go through the camp of orcs, enter the battle with the detachment. During the battle, you need to protect the Rat from enemy attacks. One of the enemies is holding a shield, so you only need to attack it from behind, for this we jump over it (the "space" key when approaching the enemy).
Objective: Find Goroth without raising the alarm
We go on the right side, along the cliff. We climb onto the wall of the tower, crawl over to the right wall, go further along the ground, keeping to the right side.
Along the way, we can activate the spirit tower in the Uduna Pass area.
We approach the desired camp, turn into a spirit, inspect the boss. After that, we aim at the gate of the cage with the beast and shoot. While Goroth is frightened by caragors and runs away, we can easily catch up with him, interrogate him (hold down "Ctrl", hold down "space", press "space"), and then kill him.
Reward: +700 experience, +50 experience for extra. mission, rune Grim Resolve ur. 8 (ranged defense: 8%) for a sword. After the victory, our ally becomes the captain and gets the nickname - Rat Coward lvl.4.
5. Outcasts
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Tips, hints
We approach the Hirgon headquarters (in the north of the Udun Burial Grounds area). He has a plan to poison the orcs. Together with Hirgon we go to the clearing for poisonous plants.
We kill three enemies in the clearing, after that we begin the collection. These plants are not shown on the map, and they do not differ much from ordinary grass in color, so it is very difficult to find them. Herb Arrangement:
1 herb. In front of the chest with the lamp on it.
2 grass. In front of a stone column on which a lamp hangs.
3 grass. In front of the stone column, east of the previous column.
Objective: Collect 2 poisonous herbs
1 herb. In the center of the search area, about three bales of hay.
2 grass. Behind the large Uruk tent.
Objective: Collect 3 poisonous herbs
1 herb. In front of the north wall.
2 grass. At the western wall, south of the wagon with the lamp.
3 grass. Below the south wall.
Objective: Throw poison into barrels of grog without being seen.
Add. Objective: Stealth kill 5 Uruks.
The easiest way is to covertly kill lone archers on the tops of houses. We pass along the roofs of the southern houses, we slide down the ropes into northern part camps. Here the task is divided into five points. We imperceptibly approach each boiler, we throw poison there. Immediately after that, we run back and hide in the nearest shelter, as the Uruks will begin to gather at the boiler. After poisoning everyone, we complete the task.

Lord of the Rings. Middle-earth: Shadows of Mordor. Walkthrough
In the "Southern Black Road" area, we again find Gollum. He leads us to the next treasure.
Objective: Follow Gollum
Add. Objective: Kill 2 archers with headshots
On the way, we wait until a group of orcs passes, then we run through, in front we kill two archers.
Task: Find the Artifact of Visions
Gollum leads us to a clearing with broken walls. Here we enter the world of spirits, following the tracks we find a panel on the floor with an artifact (located near the southeast corner wall). Let's find out another part of the story.
We come to consciousness. New monsters - Ghools - begin to crawl out of the ground. They are weak, but there are a lot of them. We run from them, dodge, shoot at barrels of gunpowder. After some time, we get the ability "Ghost Flash" (key "R") - a concussive blow to the ground. To restore the ability, you need to inflict a certain number of normal strikes. The ability is ideal against weak but numerous enemies.
Reward: +600 experience, +50 M for extra. task.
7. Main truth
Shadow of Mordor. Walkthrough
In the "Udun Burial Grounds" area, we catch up with the runaway Gollum.
Task: Find Gollum
We pass into the world of spirits, and simply follow the footsteps.
Objective: Drive the graug away from the cave
As a result, we get to the entrance to the cave. At the entrance stands a giant beast - a graug. We look to the right side, not far under the arch we notice a hanging carcass of meat, we shoot at it from a bow. The monster runs to the meat, and at this time we run into the cave.
Objective: Find the lair of the graug, Find the Artifact of Visions
In the cave in the farthest room we climb the southern wall, on the floor we find an artifact.
From the vision we learn that the elf helping us is the greatest master of the Second Age - Celebrimbor, who forged all the rings of power.
Objective: Leave the cave
Add. task: get outside in less than a minute
At this time, the graug returns and wreaks havoc in his own cave. We need to leave this place in 3 minutes. After the vision, the elf gains a new Shadowstrike ability needed to move quickly. We aim the bow at the farthest enemy, but do not shoot, but use a new ability (hold down the "RMB", press the "Z" key), from this we will instantly be transferred to the enemy. In this way, we quickly move forward from enemy to enemy. The lower path is blocked by geysers, so we constantly go on top.
Reward: +600 experience, +50 M for extra. task.
8. Path to power
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Walkthrough
In the Uduna Pass area, we continue to help the Rat. He was captured by Captain Brogg Gemini. You need to have time to free the prisoner in 4 minutes.
Task: prevent the execution of the Rat
Add. Objective: Stealth kill 4 archers without being seen.
A ranged kill does not count as a stealth kill, so each archer will have to climb up and attack them from behind.
To join the battle, it is better to jump down on top of a soldier with a shield. The boss itself is invulnerable to sneak and ranged attacks. During the battle, we run closer to the fire on the eastern cliff. We shoot at the fire when the boss is nearby, from this he will lose most health. After that, he can be interrogated and killed.
During the interrogation, we obtain information about the first leader - Mogg the Second Twin. (Chiefs have much more power than captains. You can learn something about the leaders only by killing their bodyguard captains).

Chief Mogg himself enters the arena. A piece of meat hangs nearby, if you shoot at it, then animals will come running. But it is better not to do this, from this the boss will be furious, and will become stronger. It is better to blow up the barrels standing nearby. Mogg can be better shot from afar with arrows. In close combat, he has an advantage due to the fire sword.
Reward: +600 experience, +50 M for extra. mission.
We killed one leader story mission, now we have to kill any three remaining leaders on our own. To do this, we first look for captains, reduce their health, interrogate them, reveal their identities and information about the leaders. Each leader has several bodyguards, so it is better to eliminate his captains - bodyguards individually before the battle with the leader.
Killing streak
In the "Prisoner of War Camp" area we find the leader Mogg Whisperer.
Objective: Kill 5 Uruks in 45 seconds
We get up on a high tower, from afar we shoot 5 Uruks. Only then will the leader appear.

10. Dark Monument

The commander is armed with a club, so we cannot block his attacks, only dodge them. The game tells us to collect combos on ordinary warriors so that our sword starts to glow, after that we inflict a super blow to the commander-boss (press the "F" key). We repeat this 5-6 times, and the enemy will be defeated.

Having gathered five leaders under our leadership, we begin the mission. On the northern pier we board ships and sail to the fortress of the Black Hand - to the land of Ered Glamhot.
Objective: Kill the sworn enemy
On the enemy shore we meet a sworn enemy (a random Uruk captain) with a huge army.

Mordor on fire
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Walkthrough
Returning to Nurn, we find that a volcano has activated in Mordor, which means the Black Hand is somewhere here. We visit the broken camp, where Gollum gives us an elven artifact.
In the next vision, we observe how Celebrimbor forged the ring of power under the supervision of Saruman. Having engraved a red inscription on the ring that gives the villains unlimited power, the elf was also able to secretly forge a secret blue inscription that gives the effect of invisibility to good characters. With the help of this trick, he managed to escape from the captivity of Saruman.
Objective: Storm the Black Gate
With our team of leaders, we fight ordinary Uruks. Then five enemy leaders in red armor appear - the Five Claws of the Black Hand. A 5v5 team fight begins, not counting us.

After all these battles, we can enter the fortress, for this we climb to the top floor of the gate. Inside, a lone necromancer awaits us. Suddenly, he kills himself, draws the spirit of an elf into his body, and thereby turns into a revived Sauron.
We are watching the last vision of the Second Age of Middle-earth, how Celebrimbor, after escaping, gathered his army and marched against Sauron, but lost without holding the ring of power.
The spirit of the elf began to resist inside Sauron, which gave us a chance to destroy the enemy. We press the buttons that appear on the screen and send Sauron back to the spirit world.
Congratulations! The whole game is over!!!

And remember: despite the fact that this game can be played different ways, it is easier and more convenient to act covertly. This will help your hero save energy by avoiding endless fights with crowds of enemies.
Once in the slaver's camp, climb the watchtowers and kill the four archers one by one. And in general, destroy all enemies that can interfere with your fight with the captain. When you're done, go to the slave trader and attack him from behind or from above (depending on what skills you have already upgraded). After the death of the orc, you will have to pick up the rune and insert it into your sword (bow or dagger).
When viewing Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor walkthrough video to switch between videos, use the “playlist” tab ...
Suspicious fellow traveler
You will be shown a video featuring Gollum. Look at it and go to the place marked in yellow on the map to start the quest. Using the V key, turn on special vision, follow Gollum's trail. Moreover, on the way you will be offered an additional mission - you need to free four slaves by killing their overseer.
Following the trail, you will come to a cave where you can find an ancient medallion. Watch the video and, at the moment when the caragor predator is in a jump, shoot his head with a bow. After leaving the cave, you must set off in pursuit of Gollum, but a crowd of orcs and a wounded beast will stop you. Kill the enemies and shoot the caragora twice. Find Gollum again and you will be shown a cutscene.
Spirits of the past
Go to another main building marked in yellow. Watch the video and follow the Ratmaster - this is an orc who can help your hero if you kill one of the captains. When you leave your guide at the appointed place, head straight for the orc camp. Deal with the guards and crawl along the wall to the right to the yellow mark.
After reaching the goal, you will be able to set the location of the Goroth. Near the entrance to the city you will see a cage with a caragor and several orcs guarding it. To complete an additional quest, deal with the guards and release the beast. In addition, if you do this, it will be easier for your hero to deal with the captain. Having won, take another rune and immediately proceed to the passage of a new task.
Path to power
You must save the Rat from execution. True, before interfering with the executioner, it would be nice to complete an additional task. Climb the wall located on the right, kill the archer located here, and then, straight along the stretched rope, get over to the opposite wall to deal with three more enemies. Finally, kill the executioner and after watching the video, take the rune.
Fragments of memories
At the next stage of the game, you will again have to look for Gollum. After finding him, accompany him on the way, protecting him from enemies and killing the archers located above with headshots. In the end, Gollum will lead your hero to an artifact, touching which, he will be able to observe very colorful visions.
After watching the video you are attacked by a whole crowd of undead. To kill her, use a flash of light (you need to press the R button) or explosions from fire. When the enemies are finished, watch another video and you can proceed to the next task.
Leader
Next, your task will be to kill four leaders. Reach the yellow marker and you'll find out that the first of them is called Mogg the Second Twin. First, kill the two berserkers who are just training. And move very carefully, because there are many enemies in the camp.
You can kill the berserkers quietly, or you can act in such a way as to complete an additional task at the same time. In the second case, you must hang on the ledge and throw down the first enemy, and then climb the wall and attack the second one from above. When you're done, hurry to the yellow marker to engage the chief himself.
It is not worth fighting the enemy directly at the meeting point - here you have no chance. Behind you, on the platform, you will see a barrel of fuel - lure the enemies closer and shoot the barrel to blow it up, killing everyone at the same time. Quickly jump down and do the same when you are near the fire. When there are no other opponents nearby, defeat Mogg and pick up the rune.
Guard
The second boss is Blorg the Executioner and is next in line. You won’t be able to immediately engage in a fight, so raise the alarm first. To do this, you need to run a little before the eyes of the orcs and wait until one of them starts ringing the bells. When this happens, your hero will need to kill thirty-five enemies - lure them to the barrels of gunpowder and blow up several warriors at once. Finish off the remaining opponents manually, and then Blorg the Executioner will act against you. His weak point is his vulnerability to executions - take advantage of that.
From cage to freedom
The third leader is called Pugrish the Meat Grinder, and you will have to fight him at this stage of the game. Just before you start fighting, carefully, without raising an alarm, release their cages of three caragors. As for your method of movement, you only need to go along the roofs and towers (most importantly, do not forget to shoot the archers in a timely manner).
To open the cells, you need to accurately shoot at them with a bow. And when you cope with this task, the boss himself will appear before you. Get close to him and, after waiting for the leader with the guards to come to the fire, blow them up. Kill the rest manually, and do not forget about the leader's bodyguard.
Killing streak
So, you have to kill only one leader. It is not easy to lure him out - for this you will have to kill five opponents in 45 seconds. Do this by choosing the method that is most convenient for you, and then begin to approach the enemy.
Immediately, a whole crowd of opponents will rush at you. Do not rush to attack - it is better to hang on the balcony at the very entrance and, having released the caragora from the cage, saddle it. Mounted to fight against the boss is much more convenient.
Main truth
On the this stage passing the game you will again have to deal with Gollum. It is not at the appointed place, which means that you need to follow the creature's tracks to the cave, the entrance to which is guarded by a large graug. Shoot your bow at the target on the right and quickly run towards the cave - you have 20 seconds.
When you get inside, go forward until you reach the yellow marker. There is a ledge right in front of you - climb it and, after activating the pathfinder's vision, find the artifact. Watch a cutscene of how the Rings of Omnipotence were created and a graug will appear. Now you need to get out of the cave, spending no more than three minutes on it - use your new ability "Shadow Strike".
outcasts
Next, follow Hirgon to the orc fortress to free the outcasts. Almost immediately you will stumble upon an enemy squad. Quickly but silently kill everyone, and then collect useful herbs. When finished, follow the guide again, and the same thing will await you at the next camp.
Your hero will end up in the Uruchy Log, where he will need to free the slaves. Go forward, focusing on the yellow mark, and if you want to complete an additional task, then do not forget to covertly deal with five orcs along the way. When you get to the place, carefully poison all the enemy "wells" and wait until the orcs fall asleep.
black monument
Get to the monument under construction in order to organize a rebellion here, and thereby undermine the authority of Sauron. Follow Hirgon again, carefully clearing the path for your guide. Grab a wagon to make it easier to move on, and don't forget to constantly kill the orcs on your way. As soon as reinforcements arrive, use strong shots to deal with the archers and roll the wagon forward on your own.
black warlord
Your actions have attracted the attention of the Hammer. Now, at the next stage of the passage of the game, your hero will face a large-scale battle with a serious opponent. To defeat him, you must constantly be in the active zone and use all the elements of the environment that catch your eye, bonfires, as well as herbs with which you can improve your health. In addition, remember that you will have to fight with several opponents at the same time - the defenders of the Hammer will appear constantly, and you simply will not kill all of them.
Messenger
Further, in the process of passing the game, your hero will find himself in a new area, where you will immediately need to look for a looted wagon. With the help of your tracker's vision, you will be able to determine that the robbery was carried out by ghouls. Following the trail of these creatures, get to their cave and, without drawing attention to yourself, find the artifact. When your hero takes possession of the artifact, he will have to face the next boss. Right in the room you will find a lot of arrows and medicinal plants that you can use. And deal with big amount enemies at the same time your hero will succeed if he lures them to the fire and blows them up. When you are done with the boss, you will need to get out of the cave within three minutes, and also, if you want to complete an additional task, burn fifteen ghouls with fire.
Queen of the coast
From the queen you will learn that, having arrived at the fortress, you can become the owner of a new ability. To get there, move first on top, and then just be careful, diligently avoiding enemy patrols. When you are in place, covertly brand six archers (and if you want to complete an additional task, you need to do this in three minutes). Using the services of newly minted minions, defeat a squad of orcs and watch a video. Your hero will plunge into the past, and then he will have to repel the attack of enemies (be sure to use your mini-army for this).
The power of the ghost
It's difficult to progress through the game with such limited reserves, which means you need a branded captain. Subdue Grublik, after killing all his guards. After that, the branded captain will have to declare himself so that he can get close to the leader of interest to you.
Get to the yellow marker and stay there. Use the bow to help your henchman and at the same time complete an additional task. Then support Grublik as he fights another, tougher enemy. Carefully, without catching anyone's eyes, get along the fence to the tower, then climb it, and you will find yourself next to the yellow mark.
Defeat the chieftain Grublik is fighting. To do this, you need to go down, but, in principle, the fight itself will be simple.
Brand four more chieftains. In these cases, as in the previous one, you can fight the enemies on your own or with the help of allied armies. Moreover, to make it easier for you to cope with your task, constantly keep in mind information about the advantages and disadvantages of each of the bosses. In addition, in some cases it is advisable to first kill the boss's bodyguard, and only then start fighting directly with him.
Medicine
To save the queen, Lithariel's squad must go to the orcs in search of an antidote. Carefully, without making a fuss, clear the camp - by the way, for this you can brand a dozen or even more orcs, and do all the dirty work with their hands. In addition, you can actively use caragors, freeing them from cages, and blow up bonfires, next to which orcs gather. When you clear all the zones, watch the video.
The rescue
In the next segment of the passage of the game, your task will be to save Lithariel, who did not return from the last trip. Moreover, you should not approach the main entrance - it is better to use the gap located to the right of it. Having made your way to the enemy camp, brand five of them and hurry to the place of execution of Lithariel. Recapture her from the executioners and take her to a safe place, protecting along the way. And your new allies can help you with this.
Big game hunting
The dwarf will tell your hero that he knows where the missing piece of the artifact is. Follow him until an ally offers you to ride a caragora. To cope with the task in question, you need to carry out a counterattack, and then alternately press the buttons that appear on the screen. When you deal with the beast, together with the dwarf, go on a "hunt" for the orcs and try to kill them as much as possible (at the same time you will complete an additional task).
When one of the orcs tries to escape from you, stop him and immediately return back to the dwarf. An ally needs your help - save him from trouble and proceed to watch the video.
Partners
Now the dwarf will offer your hero to defeat the giant graug. To cope with this task, come close to the monster and inflict a wound on it. When, attracted by the smell of blood, caragoras come running from everywhere, you need to climb onto one of them on the back. After that, your task will be to bring the monster to the yellow mark, and here the dwarf will help to finish off the beast. You can dismount - after all, you must subdue the giant and deal with a whole crowd of orcs. Just remember to periodically heal your graug.
Great White Graug
At the next stage of the passage of the game, you will have to enter into battle with the enemy, for whom the dwarf is already hunting long years. However, don't worry - defeating this boss is not difficult. Most importantly, periodically move away and, after waiting for the moment of takeoff, shoot a reinforced arrow directly into the graug's forehead. Stunning him will allow you to run up close and start hitting. Moreover, this scheme will have to be repeated three or four times.
It is important to keep in mind that in between your attacks, various creatures will run out of the caves, by eating which the graug is able to effectively restore health. Use quivers of arrows to kill cave dwellers, then switch back to the boss.
Lord of Mordor
Now it's time for the final showdown. Immediately after disembarking from the ship, you will encounter a whole crowd of orcs. True, it will not be difficult to cope with enemies - after all, branded leaders will come to your aid. After defeating everyone, go to the Tower. Watch the video and hurry to meet with the Lord. Use the exhaustion key ("E") a few times and he will die. Then, focusing on the yellow mark, return to your wife.
Mordor on fire
"Helpers" are waiting at the gates of your hero. And you are confronted by five bodyguards of the Black Hand. Deal with small orcs and you can safely engage in a fight with bosses. Moreover, the branded orcs in this case can be of great help to you. When you're done, move up to the Black Hand and finish it off with a flurry of blows. That's all, walkthrough Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor completed.
To start, a few basic tips.
Character Development
The game is built in such a way that with the right leveling of skills, you will make your life easier both in survival and in fights with bosses and enemies in general. In the screenshot below, the skills that are worth pumping in the first place are highlighted in red, since their usefulness is almost beyond doubt.
How to interrogate the captain
For the death of captains, you get useful runes and precious power points, with which you unlock new skills. Before attacking the enemy, it is worth looking for his minions with green markings and interrogating them. Such a conversation will help to learn about the weaknesses and advantages of the captain - they can help in his murder. If an orc is afraid of fire, then you can simply lead him to a fire and direct fire at him, but at the same time the other captain will only become furious from the burns and will fight even more ferociously. So be careful with this. The killing of any captain comes down to the destruction of the guards around him (preferably secretly) and the fight with the boss himself, in which knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages will just help us.
Extra points
If you do not have enough points to upgrade any skill, then pay attention to the tasks for finding the legendary sword / dagger / bow. For one such task, they give an average of 400 points, and if you go through the entire chain, you will unlock the legendary weapon.
Runes for weapons
There are countless captains and leaders in the game, each one drops a rune for a certain weapon, which will help us in battle. You should not look only at the legendary runes. Sometimes runes from small fry are more useful than those that fell from large bosses. Choose upgrades only depending on your play style. If you are going through the game stealthily, runes to restore concentration will help you; if you like to fight full height- You can't do without health regeneration for each kill.
Introduction
After watching the introductory video, we are offered to go through something similar to training. Having learned about the basic methods of warfare, we find ourselves in the thick of the battle. Having killed all the orcs, we watch the next video, and then we forge the sword and jump down. For four opponents, a bow with 4 magic arrows is issued. If the arrows run out, a sword is always at hand. After the battle, we learn that we have a new target - a slave trader captain who is holding the prisoner we need.
Slaver
Now we need to get to this captain. To do this, open the map and find the yellow mark. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is good because you can complete the same mission in several ways. It is most convenient to go through the game stealthily, so you will save yourself from grueling battles and meetings with hordes of opponents.
After reaching the slaver's camp, climb the watchtowers and kill four archers (we don't need extra attention to anything). Before attacking the captain, you must make sure that there are no enemies left around him that can interfere with us in battle. After that, sneak up to the slave trader and attack him from behind (and if you have pumped the “kill from above” skill, you can use it). Upon dying, an orc will leave a rune that can be picked up and inserted into a legendary sword/bow/dagger.
Suspicious fellow traveler
We watch a video where, among other things, Gollum appears. We go to the place where we saw him (yellow mark) and start the quest. Turn on special vision (V key by default) and follow Gollum's trail. Along the way, you can complete an additional mission by killing the overseers and freeing four slaves.
The trail will lead us to a cave, but it will break off in the same place, leaving an old medallion in its place. We are watching a video, at the moment of the jump of a caragor predator, we shoot him from a bow right in the head. We run out of the cave and chase Gollum. We are stopped by a crowd of enemies and a wounded beast. Try to kill all the orcs as quickly as possible, and then kill the terrible caragora with two accurate headshots. Then find Gollum and watch the cutscene.
The project did not go without side quests, in which you need to collect all sorts of items. In the game, there are two types of items all over the map: if you collect all the artifacts and all the itildins, then in the first case you will find out mysterious story, and in the second you will see an ancient image.
How to collect all itildins and artifacts?
In order to collect all itildins and artifacts, you need to explore all areas in the game and visit all points of synchronization. As soon as you open a new territory, corresponding icons immediately appear on the map.
Spirits of the past
Go to the next main task, indicated by a yellow mark. After a short cutscene, follow the orc Ratser Coward, who can help us if we kill one of the captains. Having reached the place, leave our escort and go to the orc camp. Stealthily kill the guards and climb the wall to the right to the yellow mark. When you reach it, you will find out the location of the Goroth - that's exactly where you need to be. Not far from the entrance to his camp, several orcs guard a cage with a caragor. Kill the guards and release the predator, thereby completing side quest. In addition, karaghor can greatly facilitate the killing of the captain, because. the latter is not indifferent to the beast. After dealing with the captain, take the rune and go to the next task.
Greatbow Creation Part 1
To create an ancient bow, you need to complete several tasks. Please note that not all of them are available immediately, but only open with the passage of the story.
Quick deliverance. Location: Udun Burial Grounds.
Objective: Kill 15 orcs in 30 seconds without stringing. There will be many wounded orcs around, who die from one shot from a bow. Therefore, quickly shoot the enemies. Stocks of arrows are unlimited.
Elbert Giltoniel. Location: Black Road
Objective: Kill enemy archers with headshots. Use the "focus" ability, as it is much easier to hit the head in slow motion.
Darkness under siege. Location: Durthang area
Objective: Kill 10 Uruks without leaving the area. On the map in green an area will be marked in which you need to stay throughout the task. It will not always be possible to kill enemies with direct shots, so shoot at barrels, fires and other environmental objects.
Storm of War. Location: South Black Road
Objective: Kill 10 Orcs while riding a Karagor. For this task, you need to advance through the plot and learn how to control the caragors. While riding a beast, kill ten enemies.
Avenger's eye. Location: Uduna South Pass
Objective: Kill 5 orcs with close range. Either sneak up from behind, or quickly run up to the enemies and put an arrow in the head. You need to shoot from a distance of no more than 10 meters.
Steel jaws. Location: Nurnen Peninsula
Objective: Kill the guards while staying outside the fortress. In this task, there may also be problems with finding enemies, especially since the zone is limited. Therefore, shoot at barrels, fires and beehives.
Path to power
Now we need to help our "friend" Rat, preventing his execution. Before you interfere with the executioner, you can complete an additional task. To do this, we climb the wall on the right and kill the first archer, then we run across the stretched rope to opposite side and kill three more fighters. Now there is little left to do - kill the executioner, watch the video and take the precious rune.
Fragments of memories
Now it's worth taking a short break in the pursuit of the orcs and go in search of Gollum. After meeting with him, accompany him, clearing the path in front of him and removing the archers from the towers, to complete an additional task, kill them with headshots. Gollum will lead us to a certain artifact, touching which we will begin to see.
After a short video, hordes of the undead will move towards us. There are a lot of them, but this whole crowd can be easily killed with one hit, as well as with the help of explosions from fire or a flash of light (by default, the "R" key). Watch the video and move on to the next task.
Greatbow Creation Part 2
Spirit of fire. Location: Kab-gwanad cliff
Objective: Kill 5 orcs with fire arrows. To create a fire arrow, you need to perform a series of sword strikes (8 or 6, depending on skills). As soon as it lights up, take out your bow and shoot an arrow at the enemy.
Nobody will leave. Location: Merne area
Objective: Stay where you are and prevent the 5 orcs from escaping. To complete this task, shoot at the legs. Don't forget to use concentration as the enemies run away pretty quickly.
Darkness and fire. Location: Merne area
Objective: Kill 30 orcs by exploding barrels.
Secret fire. Location: Thang Talat
Objective: Lure ghouls and kill 50 of them with explosions. Enter the cave and draw the attention of the enemies. As soon as they begin to surround you, then go to the fire and blow it up (no damage is done to the character).
Leader
Now, in order to declare ourselves, we need to kill four leaders. In principle, they are the same captains, but more experienced, more powerful and more dangerous. We go to the yellow mark and find out the name of the first leader - Mogg the Second Twin. First you need to kill two berserkers undergoing training. The whole camp is teeming with enemies, so going ahead is extremely risky.
You can do everything quietly, so we secretly make our way to the berserkers and kill them. The first can be killed by hanging on the ledge and throwing the enemy down (in this case, you will also complete an additional task). To kill the second, climb the wall and perform an overhead strike. After killing both berserkers, run to the yellow mark - a fight with the leader himself will begin there.
Fighting at the meeting point is almost useless - the orcs will take the number. Behind you on the platform there is a barrel of fuel. Bring the enemies there, blow up the barrel with an arrow, watch the burning enemies. Next, jump down and near the fire, do the same. After dealing with the rest, kill Mogg and take his rune.
Guard
Head to the next boss named Blorg Executioner. Fighting him right away will not work, first you need to cause an alarm. To do this, run around the orcs in full growth: one of them will certainly beat the bells. After that, we need to kill 35 enemies. There are barrels of gunpowder all around you: lure as many orcs to them as possible and shoot with a bow - this will kill at least 7-10. Repeat this trick a few more times, finishing off the rest with a sword. Then Blorg the Executioner himself will come. His weakness- vulnerability to executions (requires a series of 8 hits and the corresponding skill).
From cage to freedom
We are waiting for the third boss named Pugrish Meat Grinder. Before killing the boss himself, you need to unleash three karagors and at the same time not raise the alarm. Move exclusively on rooftops and towers, remembering to shoot archers. The cells themselves can also be opened remotely - simply by shooting at them with a bow. As soon as you open all three cells, the leader himself will appear. Go to him, but don't attack yet. Wait until he and his pack come to the fire, blow it up, and only then destroy the rest. If the boss has a bodyguard, then use the lure to get him to the nearest secluded place and deal with him.
Making the Great Sword Part 1
For creating ancient sword several tasks are required. Please note that not all of them are available immediately, but only open with the passage of the story.
In the pit Location: Uruk Battle Arena
Goal: Defeat 50 enemies. Crowds of enemies will come at you, so do not forget to maneuver and not stand in one place. Do not forget about concentration - at critical moments it can help out.
Rear raid. Location: West Durthang
Goal: Destroy 50 orcs. Make your way to the camp and destroy all opponents. On the territory in a large number there are barrels and bonfires, so don't forget to use them.
Unnamed creatures. Location: Uduna Pass
Objective: Destroy three ghoul camps. There will be several branches in the cave, and there are 3 enemy camps in them. Clear each of them one by one.
Killing streak
The last, fourth boss remained. In order to lure him out, we need to kill five enemies in 45 seconds. There are many options for execution, it all depends on your skill. In the allotted time, it is quite possible to kill the orcs stealthily, but if you do not have time, you can always come and smash the camp to smithereens.
When you go to the leader, crowds of enemies will immediately rush at you, so do not rush to attack. It would be much smarter to hang on the balcony at the entrance, open the cage with the caragor and saddle it. Mounted, you will kill the boss much faster.
Main truth
We continue storyline associated with Gollum. He was not at the designated meeting point, so you will have to follow in his footsteps again. They lead to a cave guarded by a huge graug. Throw an arrow from a bow at a target to your right, then you will have 20 seconds to run to the cave.
Once inside, move forward to the yellow mark. Next, climb the ledge in front of you, turn on the pathfinder's vision and take the artifact. After the video about the creation of the rings of Omnipotence, the same graug will appear. We will have 3 minutes to leave the cave. Use the new Shadowstrike ability to move towards the exit and out of the hole.
outcasts
Now you need to get into the fortress of the orcs and free the outcasts. We follow Hirgon and stumble upon a small camp of enemies. We quietly deal with them and collect the herbs we need. Again we go for our comrade - the same thing awaits us in the next camp (remember about the herbs). Next, we follow Hirgon to the Uruchy log, in which you need to free the slaves. Follow the yellow marker - and if you want to complete an additional task, stealthily kill five orcs along the way. After that, quietly poison the "wells" of the orcs and wait until they all fall asleep.
Making the Great Sword Part 2
Red tide. Location: Nurnen Peninsula
Objective: Kill five squads of guards. Find groups of enemies and deal with them one by one.
They won't get through. Location: Tol-crossing
Purpose: to protect the bridge from the orcs. Don't let the enemies cross the pass.
The death of darkness. Location: Kab-gwanad cliff
Objective: Kill three elite fighters. To kill the main assistant, use focus. You can also try to lead the guard to a barrel or fire and blow it up.
Dark horseman. Location: Kelon Poros
Goal: saddling a karagora, destroy three enemy camps. This task requires passing a certain story mark and the ability to ride a caragora. After riding the beast, go to the enemy camps and clear them.
black monument
You need to get to the monument under construction in order to sabotage and undermine the authority of Sauron. We follow Hirgon and clear the path in front of him. After capturing the wagon, move on with it, killing the orcs along the way. When reinforcements arrive, deal with the archers with strong shots and move the wagon yourself.
black warlord
By tarnishing the honor of Sauron, we have earned the attention of his Hammer. Go on a mission - a direct fight with the enemy awaits you. The boss is quite difficult, but don't forget to use plants to restore health, fires and various elements of the environment without leaving the active zone. Minions of the Hammer will appear endlessly, so it's pointless to try to clear the way for the boss himself - you will have to fight with everyone at once.
Messenger
Let's go to new area, in which our first task will be to search for a looted wagon. At the crime scene, turn on the vision of the tracker; it becomes clear that the wagon was robbed by ghouls. Follow their trail, which will lead directly to the cave. You need to get to the artifact without attracting attention. To do this, go either on top, or just away from these creatures. When you get the artifact, another boss awaits you. Medicinal plants are scattered in the room, as well as many arrows. Oncoming monsters can be lured to the fire and blown up. After defeating the boss, you have 3 minutes to leave the cave and complete an additional task by destroying 15 ghouls with fire.
Making the Great Dagger Part 1
To create an ancient dagger, you need to complete several tasks. Please note that not all of them are available immediately, but only open with the passage of the story.
Mithril blade. Location: Black Gate
Goal: Kill 10 slavers in 10 minutes. The peculiarity of this task is that all opponents must be eliminated secretly.
Show of strength. Location: POW camp
Goal: savagely kill the enemy. You must have the required skill active for this quest. We sneak up on the enemy from behind and perform a savage murder.
Clear sky. Location: West Durthang
Objective: Stealth kill ten archers. Carefully move around the enemy base without raising the alarm. Then use the dagger to kill 10 archers.
Ghost. Location: West Garrison
Objective: Stealth kill 5 orcs.
Dangerous whisper. Location: East Garrison
Objective: Kill five enemies who are under the influence of the Ghost's call. For such killings, you need to hang on a ledge and call the enemy to you. As soon as he comes to the very edge, use the dagger to throw him off the cliff.
Shadow and steel. Location: Nurnen Peninsula
Objective: Stealth kill shield bearers. Approach enemies from behind, or perform a jump kill. The main thing is not to raise the alarm.
Darkness inside. Location: Kab-gwanad cliff
Goal: Reach the mark without being noticed. Head towards the fortress without raising the alarm. Kill enemies in stealth. To get past the archers, you can brand some to make them fight each other.
Queen of the coast
The queen told us about a new ability that can be obtained in the fortress. You can go there on top, and then bypassing the orc patrols. So you avoid unnecessary attention and meet the allotted time. When you reach the fortress, stealthily brand six archers, for an additional task, this must be done in 3 minutes. With the help of newly minted minions, kill the enemy squad, then watch the video. Having plunged into the past for a while, repel the attack of enemies, while not forgetting to use your mini-army.
The power of the ghost
Such an army is not enough for us, so now we need a branded captain. One slave trader will help us with this. Kill all the guards around Grublik, then subdue him. Now our captain needs to declare himself in order to get closer to the right leader.
Go to the yellow marker and stay there. It is best to help our henchman quietly, with the help of a bow (at the same time complete an additional task). Then you need to help Grublik in a fight with the enemy stronger. Sneak your way along the fence to the tower, and then climb it to the yellow mark.
We need to kill the leader with whom our Grublik is fighting. This time it will not work to sit out somewhere at the top, you will have to go down and participate in the fight in person. The leader is not very strong, plus subordinate troops help us, so you should deal with him without any problems.
So, we still have to brand four more leaders .. Their killings are also no different from those described above: you can defeat them either alone or with the help of the summoned armies. If you are unable to kill the leader, try first to deal with his bodyguards, and then with the leader. Be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of each boss.

Medicine
The queen is ill, you need to lead a detachment of Lithariel to the orcs and find an antidote. Go to clear the camp without making a fuss. You can complete the mission by branding a dozen orcs and sending them to fight their brethren. Also, don't forget about caged caragora, they will help a lot. In all zones, the orcs gather mainly around fires that can be blown up, and the remaining enemies can be destroyed with a bow. Clear all areas and watch the video.
The rescue
From the last campaign, Lithariel did not return: she must be saved. It is useless to go to the main passage, so make your way further through a small gap in the wall on the right. Once inside the camp, brand 5 orcs, and then go to the place of execution of Lithariel. After killing her executioners, help her get to a safe place, clearing her of enemies along the way. Your minions should help you with this.
Big game hunting
A certain dwarf claims to know where to get the rest of the artifact. We follow him until he offers to saddle a karagora. This is done by carrying out a counterattack and pressing the necessary buttons that appear on the screen. Next, we go with the dwarf to "hunt" and try to kill as many orcs as possible if you want to complete an additional task. During one of the fights, the orc will try to escape, stop him. Then return to the gnome, who seems to be having problems. Save him and watch the video.
Partners
This time the dwarf will offer us to kill a huge graug. We come close to the monster and let him bleed. On the smell fresh meat Karagoras will come running, you need to saddle one of them. Next, we bring the monster to the yellow mark, the dwarf must help finish off the beast. After that, we dismount and subjugate the giant to ourselves, and then you can commit a savage murder and force the orcs to flee. Don't forget to heal the graug by devouring enemies.
Great White Graug
Now you are in for a battle with the legendary graug, for which the dwarf has been hunting all his life. Actually, the boss is pretty simple. Sometimes you need to move away, and at the time of the takeoff, plant a reinforced arrow between the eyes of the graug. Once he is stunned, run up to him and hit him. Repeat this pattern 3-4 times. In between this, the inhabitants of the cave will resort, with which the graug can restore health quite well. There are quivers of arrows scattered around the cave, so just shoot these crowds, and then finish off the main boss.
Lord of Mordor
It's time for the final showdown. After disembarking from the ship, we are immediately met by a horde of orcs. Luckily, we have some very powerful chaperones, so with the help of branded chieftains, the battle will seem like a cakewalk. Having dealt with all hostile orcs, go to the Tower. After the cutscene ends, approach the Lord, press the depletion button ("E" by default) several times until he dies. After that, head to your wife along the yellow mark.
Mordor on fire
We leave for the gate, where our "assistants" are waiting for us. We are confronted by five bodyguards of the Black Hand. First, kill all the small orcs so that no one bothers you in the boss fight. The branded orcs also deal very good damage, so the whole fight can be won without you. After that, rise to the Black Hand and inflict a series of finishing blows.
So, the game came out, the leading gaming publications do not skimp on praise, and dissenting critics are angry about the fact that the game lacks a plot and, in general, the entire gameplay is extremely monotonous, but this is not so. Middle-earth will force the player to learn and adapt to the not-quite-simple gameplay. As part of this material an attempt will be made to summarize some of the obvious and hidden nuances in the game, and also to give, as far as possible, a few useful tips, because, it is worth repeating, the game is not as simple as it seems at first glance.
So let's go.
Middle-earth: Shadows of Mordor- a typical action game with combat in the style of Assasins Creed. In fact, there is nothing more than fighting here, so we will learn how to fight, level up and arrange sudden and deadly stealth sorties.
The first thing to do is to set your fingers on the key keys. In our case, we are dealing with a PC version, so all further advice will be tied to a traditional keyboard. We need Ctrl, left Shift and a space. This is first of all. In the second - the keys V, F, E and M. In this game, the same keyboard commands perform different functions in different situations. The pressed spacebar lets the hero run, when approaching a wall or other obstacle, by pressing the spacebar, we climb up, and in battle this key allows you to dodge and simply jump away. Shift, instead of the standard run, makes the hero sneak, which is very much in demand. With proper skill, through hidden killings, you can neutralize up to half of the orcs on the map. By pressing Ctrl in peacetime, the hero will collect all kinds of objects, and in battle he will be responsible for capturing the enemy, which, by pressing the spacebar, will allow him to interrogate an almost finished orc. The E key is also useful. If you hold it down, then a few lives can be drawn out of a beaten, but alive enemy.
Well, a mouse, of course. With the help of RMB, you can block blows and enter the bow shooting mode. A little inconvenient, because it is enough to overdo RMB a little and instead of blocking, the hero takes out a bow. These are the basic nuances of management. The game system itself will tell you in more detail about them in periodically pop-up tips.
There is gravity in the game, but it only affects the orcs, while our hero can jump from any height with absolutely no consequences. However, if you need to go down quietly, then we come to the edge, press E and slowly go down. Also, let's not forget about the ghost mode. In this mode, we will be able to clearly track the movements of the enemy, as well as learn some details about the captains.
There are no first-aid kits in the game, but lives are gradually restored. This circumstance already on the very first day of the release of the game led to a lot of curiosities, when the players waited until their health was restored, just relaxing in a secluded corner, wasting time, because they did not know how to be treated in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Looking carefully at the map, you will see multi-colored, but more often green crosses. These are plants. Run up to a flower, bush or mushroom and press Ctrl. The hero will refresh himself and fully recover. The number of plants is limited, but they are enough.
Since we touched on the map, let's dwell on it in more detail. Red triangles are enemies. The acute angle of the triangle is the side towards which the orc is facing. It is very convenient to run behind for an instant kill. Also, in addition to the main and secondary quests, a skull icon will sometimes appear on your map. It indicates the direction of the last captain that you marked for the upcoming meeting. The nuance is that sometimes this label disappears. This is because the marked target has left the field of view and moved too far away. Switching to the mode big map, by pressing M, you can instantly teleport to certain parts of the location.
Now about the fights.
Don't underestimate instant stealth kills. This is extremely effective method for clearing the area. Immediately it makes sense to remove the archers, standing, as a rule, at the top. On the map, they are displayed with slightly different triangles. Archers stand still most of the time, so it's very easy to approach them from behind. Instead of stealth walking, use stealth running. It is also silent, but you will get to the target much faster. The matter is facilitated by the fact that the hero does not have vigor as such, and you can run at least all the time, quickly running around wagons, stones and other obstacles in order to run behind the orc.
Very often you will have to fight in a dense environment. Of course, it's better to break out of the ring by pressing the spacebar several times, but if you can't, then don't forget to parry the blows, otherwise you won't be enough for a long time. The most unpleasant fights are fights with captains surrounded by their subordinates. It just so happens that you will rarely be able to fight with the captain one on one. Most often, relatives will immediately come running to help him. The orcs have a good connection, and don't underestimate it. If, for example, you do not finish off the orc, then he may run away from you in fear. He will run straight to his captain and complain about you, so be prepared to quickly retreat from the place where you last time noticed, otherwise if a dozen orcs come running, then it will be hard to do something with them.
In the early stages of the game, enemies, including captains, will be divided into melee fighters and rangers. It is much easier to fight with the second ones, but when not an ordinary orc, but a captain is armed with a crossbow, then do not let him come to his senses and move a few steps away, because a hit from a crossbow will remove the lion's share of health from your character.
Orcs often run in groups of 10-15 individuals. If you are unlucky, and you ran into such a detachment, then it is better to retreat immediately and climb the nearest sheer wall. Orcs will not be able to catch up with you, and even more so they will not climb the wall, only if there is no ladder or similar special devices.
By the way, you can fight not only on your own, but also at the expense of our younger friends. Having tamed and saddled some monster, you will be able to clear the expanses of Mordor with greater efficiency.
The game has artifacts. They bring special points, called Mirians, and also evoke memories. Rotate the artifact with the mouse until you hear a change in sound and also see a glow. Then press X and activate the memory.
The first leveling feature you will encounter is the runes that drop from defeated captains. After killing the captain, press Ctrl and take the dropped rune. They are three types: for sword, bow and dagger. The most important thing is the sword, then comes the dagger, and the bow closes the top three. However, nevertheless, the game will develop in such a way that for all types of weapons, runes will be given in almost equal doses. At the first stage of the game, you can only activate one rune. Later, you can add several favorite runes. For the sword, runes that increase damage are suitable. For a dagger - runes that increase the effect of a process called "execution".
As for the planned pumping of the hero’s skills, then take them to your taste. Game process built in such a way that you can upgrade almost anything you want, although at first it is advisable not to spend pumping points until the second, and then the third row of skills opens. You will have to pump two different directions: the Ghost and the Pathfinder. Having pumped one skill, the second will also not lose its relevance. At the same time, it is impossible to say which of the skills is more important and more effective. It can only be noted that the skills from the half of the Ghost are more combat than the skills of the Pathfinder.
Don't be squeamish additional tasks. Firstly, it is quite interesting to pass them, and secondly, they will add more experience points and Mirians to you.
To approach the point of taking one of the main main tasks, you will first have to clear the territory from the orcs, because if you immediately get into the thick of it, then you will have to fight immediately with a dozen or two enemies. Therefore, try to cut off the enemy along the perimeter, as wolves do, I surround the flock. Kill one by one the least cautious, who turned their backs on you. If you wait for darkness, then the first targets should be those orcs who walk with torches. We go to them from the back and eliminate them. Also, first of all, it is necessary to eliminate stand-alone slave traders and orcs running after people. At the very last turn, you should run up to the fire and challenge the enemies to battle. If you have already decided on something like this, then you need to do it this way: run up to one of them from the back, slaughter and, fighting back, retreat to some hill. The Orcs will usually fall behind, although they may sometimes decide to scramble after you. Then killing them one by one will be easy enough.
That, perhaps, is all. First, get comfortable in the new open spaces and control the hero by pressing a lot of keys, in different moments, responsible for different functions, may seem complicated, however, after a couple of hours, you will have almost no discomfort left, and you will be able to fully join the fight against Sauron.
