Shadows of Mordor walkthrough. How to complete Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor? Walkthrough of games

The main task: find Celebrimbor

The first mission is very simple - it is educational, in it you will be taught the basic controls.

Watch the video that retells current events and history from the first part. After this, you will be able to control Talion, who is in a cave of sorts with several orcs roaming the area.

As always, when it comes to the first levels, you should take a little time and thoroughly learn the controls. An orc will stand in front of you - enter stealth mode and carry out the kill. This type of attack does not bother other orcs and you can use it to kill enemies in one hit.

Look at the mini-map and go to the gold marker. Keep jumping on the ledges, practice stealth, and perform a few overhead attacks just for fun. However, this is an optional requirement and you can simply drop down to the group of orcs who are guarding the narrow corridor. Face the orcs and learn the basics of combat. Start fighting them. This easy fight will serve as some impetus for other battles. Here you will learn about the basics of combat, dodging and parrying. The enemies are very easy and you will defeat them without any problems. After that, go to the marker and watch a long scene. Celebrimbor will return to you and the prologue will end.

Act 1. Siege of Minas Ithil

Mission 1. Brotherhood

Quest giver: Gondor

Jump down and sneak up to the orc with the green icon above his head. This worm is a special type of orc that can reveal the weaknesses of one of the captains. Dominate him and choose the captain you want to know more about.

After that you can follow the golden marker. You can dominate other worms or sneak past them without being noticed. Finally, you will reach a group of orcs and learn how to use a bow. Follow the paths and defeat the enemies. Then you can go to the tracks on the ground and study them. Follow them and you'll encounter another group of enemies. The best way to deal with these orcs is to blow up the barrels and then continue moving forward.

When you reach the city, find your target using the ghostly form. This way you can find the captain you need. Learn about his weaknesses - this orc is stunned after you perform a sneak attack. Go up to your houses and go to the enemy captain.

Attack the enemy from above to exploit their weakness. This will remove most of the captain's health. You can now participate in the battle. Soon after this, you will be joined by Idril, a brave Gondorian warrior, who will help you in battle. You will also receive new equipment - equip it and do not forget to check and change your wardrobe in the future.

Follow Idril and you will reach a courtyard where there will be many warriors. Defeat the orcs, and then follow the warrior. Continue fighting until you reach the main gate. This is where you will split up. Your goal is to defeat the orcs. This is not a very difficult task, especially since your hero has a glaive, which works very well when it comes to area attacks. Kill all orcs. The mission will end after their death.

Mission 2. Eyes of Sauron/Shadows of the Past

Quest giver: Gondor

The task here is very simple - you must run straight until you reach Khedir's tower. There you need to clear it and use the tower to find interesting places (missions, artifacts, etc.) in the surrounding area. You must move the circle until it gets smaller and warns you of something interesting. After this, this event/artifact will be on your map.

In addition, these towers serve as fast travel points - you can teleport here when you are not in combat.

In addition to this, you can use these towers to rewind time. Thanks to this, new captains can appear in Sauron's army or you can allow your captains to complete missions that were given to them previously.

The goal of this mission is to learn how to use elven rage. Find the mounds and go there. There will be a mission called "Shadows of the Past". This is a special type of mission that recreates the heroic deeds of Celebrimbor from the past. Here you can see a story that shows how a furious elf used his ring to destroy his enemies. Your task is to fill the rage bar. This panel fills up when killing orcs. Please note that this mission has additional objectives - this is typical for Celebrimbor missions. In each task you can get bronze, silver or gold. This depends on the number of completed goals. This mission will have an easy goal - fill the rage bar in one minute 36 seconds and defeat ten enemies while using elven rage. It's easy to do. Just focus on the enemies and executions on the ground. After filling the bar, activate the rage and quickly kill all enemies using enhanced attacks and executions. After this, the mission ends.

Mission 3. Seeing stone

Quest giver: Gondor

Follow Idril. Enemies will shoot at you with siege beasts. Watch out for the big red circles on the ground. You must avoid them, otherwise you will die quickly. Don't rush forward, but rather run around these circles.

Weak orcs will be waiting for you in the courtyard. Kill them and follow the woman. Avoid new explosions until you reach the heroes of this celebration. Shoot explosive charges on these monsters, and then dominate it.

Load up your arrows and run towards the siege beast. Point your bow at the blue dot next to the catapult. This will cause an explosion that will damage the beast.

Shoot at another target and approach the monster. Take control and face the army of orcs. You must kill 60 targets, so use your new "friend's" abilities. During the battle, another siege beast will come out. Get rid of competition - only one beast can be on the battlefield. After that, continue shooting at the orcs. Use the beast to destroy your enemies. Kill him when all the targets are down and move on.

You have a new ability - double jump. Use this trick to quickly reach a new beast. Take control and start shooting at your enemies. This time you need to kill 80 orcs and two siege beasts. The task is simple, because no one will bother you. After this, you can jump off the beast and kill it. Minas Ithil is saved... For now.

Mission 4. Knife in the dark

Quest giver: Shelob

The mission begins with the presentation of a new enemy - Olog-hai. These powerful military trolls are resistant to attack and require a slightly different approach. The best way is to press the buttons that appear on the screen to slide between your legs and stun at the right moment. You can also climb on his back and attack him with a dagger, which also allows you to control the enemy.

After this Gollum will appear. A famous character tells you that he can lead you to the Assassin. Follow your new ally. On your way you will meet orcs, but you can easily avoid the fight. Shoot the nest of flies and the enemies will run away.

Finally, you will meet Shelob. She shows Talion a vision of the killer. Follow Gollum until you reach four orcs. Head towards the nest of flies hanging above them and shoot it to neutralize the threat. The game has many tricks that allow you to use environmental objects to your advantage.

Then you must find the killer's first victim. Follow Gollum and the marker. On the spot, activate the ghost and follow the tracks on the ground. Jump on Olog-hai and defeat the rest of the orcs.

While you are pursuing plot goals, you can safely ignore single orcs. Soon you will reach the second victim. Return to Gollum and continue your journey. Next there will be a gate and a guard patrol with Olog-hai. Climb the gate and jump on it to make the fight easier. Then follow your companion until you reach a small orc camp.

Activate ghost mode and follow new tracks. This time you will fall on a living victim. Tame him to obtain information about the killer you are looking for. Knock down the nest of flies to make the fight easier. The enemy is afraid of them. He is stunned by the fact that he can become an ordinary piece of meat for them. His death ends this task.

Mission 5. No Man's Land

Quest giver: Gondor

Baranor wants to show the orcs that the army of Gondor will not sit idly by and wait for the next attack in the fortress. Follow him to the gold marker. There will be many lone orcs on your way - you can order your captain to make sneak attacks on these enemies.

Continue walking and activate ghost mode, looking for traces. Follow them and you will come across a large group of enemies. You can kill these enemies or use stealth to avoid them and make the upcoming fight easier. Use sneak attacks to defeat this captain easily.

Finally, you will reach the orc who is your goal. The Hunter is a new type of enemy. Shoots from a crossbow and tries to stay at a safe distance. He also rides around on Caragor, which makes this fight more difficult. First try to clear this place of other orcs.

When it comes to fighting the leader, you should prepare for a more difficult fight. Don't forget that these are more powerful warriors, have unique abilities and are usually resistant to some types of attacks. This enemy has a strong vulnerability to sneak attacks. They stun him and allow you to attack without any problems. Use this knowledge to your advantage - avoid the orcs, climb the tower and from there jump on the leader. The mission ends after the leader's death.

Mission 6. Shower of Arrows

Quest giver: Shelob

You managed to kill the leader who wanted to storm Minas Ithil, but this is only the beginning. Go to Shelob and get another vision. Go to Baranor and warn him about the new threat. When you reach Baranor, he will ask you to protect the area. You need to eliminate ten archers and remain undetected. This is a fairly simple task - look for single targets, climb the towers and kill orcs using stealth. If you want, you can kill targets with a bow. Aim for the head to deal critical damage. This will allow you to complete the task quickly. However, I would recommend practicing stealth because this mechanic will come in handy later on.

After this, climb the high tower and watch the warrior enter the arena. Two captains of the fifth level will enter with him. You have to be careful because fighting multiple captains can be difficult. I advise you to shoot at the explosive boxes to eliminate most of the enemies. You can also use sneak attacks on one of the captains. Then activate Elven Fury or Executions to quickly defeat the remaining enemies. The mission will end after the leader's death.

Mission 7. Traitor's Gate

Quest giver: Shelob

This mission is quite difficult, so I advise you to level up Talion to at least level 15. Go to Shelob and see another vision. This time you will learn that there is a traitor in the ranks of Gondor.

Follow Gollum. Here you can meet spiders - they are your allies and attack enemies by jumping on them. You will have several options to summon these creatures. Just destroy their nests and they will come. They will help you destroy the orcs.

Keep running until you reach the orc fortress. Then you go alone - Gollum will not be able to keep up with you. Kill a few orcs near the walls and go upstairs. Your task is to follow the messenger until you discover the leader. Stick to the western side of the fortress and climb up the buildings. Attack the archers and try to stay close to your target. If you start to notice any orcs that are on the roofs of houses, you can kill them with a bow.

As a result, you will meet the leader. He will be furious because the messenger brought you to him. The leader has level 17 and a legendary rank. This is a tough opponent.

He is vulnerable to sneak attacks - you can try to attack him from the shadows by jumping off ledges. Be careful. There will be a lot of orcs below and you can be stupidly beaten. So try to disperse these troops. Lure enemies to the barrels and kill the caragor riders first.

You can also use beasts as mounts (provided you buy the right ability) because they are very useful in battle. And also use your bow and shoot the leader in the head. With his death, the mission will end and you will receive a legendary item.

Mission 8. Arena

Quest giver: Gondor

Sauron's army kidnapped the general. You must go to the arena and challenge the enemies so that Idril can carry out a rescue operation. This mission will involve back-to-back fights, and I would advise getting the best equipment possible.

The first enemy will be an orc - a destroyer from the Olog-Haev race. He uses explosive barrels and his weapons deal fire damage. In all other respects, he is an ordinary lout. Just roll between your legs and focus on your attacks.

After this, several captains and ordinary orcs will attack you. Is your task clear? You need to defeat all the orcs. There are many barrels for explosions in the arena. Use them to get rid of weaker orcs.

Don't forget about the Caragor cells. You can destroy them and watch the carnage in the arena. The beast will start attacking your enemies (but be careful because it can switch to you at any moment). Tame it or use it as a mount.

Defeat a wave of enemies. After this, a strong captain will appear. In my case, it was a level fourteen archer. I killed him very quickly with elven rage.

After defeating the captain, Talion challenges the rest of the orcs and demonstrates his strength. His power frightens the orcs and they run away in fear. On such a pathetic note, the mission ends.

Mission 9. Before dawn

Quest giver: Gondor

Despite your best efforts in the arena, Idril was unable to break into the enemy camp and save her father. You must accompany her and save the general. Move forward and give orders to covertly destroy soldiers. Along the way you will meet captured Gondorian soldiers. Destroy the orcs, save the soldiers and move forward. You will find yourself in a small camp with a large group of enemies.

Rescue another group of prisoners and clear the area of ​​orcs. This is a very simple task - you can use Idril's help or do it yourself. Rescued soldiers will join you. After defeating the orcs, you will see a rather mysterious scene. Castamir will be released. Follow the golden marker and destroy new enemies. Get to the bridge. There you will have to face a small group of orcs. Deal with the threat, approach the city and complete this short mission.

Mission 10. Fall

Quest giver: Shelob

Warning! This is the final mission in this act and after that you will have to say goodbye to this area for a while. Therefore, take a little time and collect the remaining artifacts, and also open the door to the burial ground.

In Shelob's last vision, the sad truth is revealed - Castamir is a traitor to his people. Travel to Minas Ithil to witness Sauron's brutal siege. What to do? Join the defenders and try to save the situation. Your first task is to defend the yard for two minutes. An additional goal is to achieve twenty hits without interruption. There are a lot of enemies and you will complete this objective very quickly. Fight your enemies, but watch out for the catapults (red circles on the ground) and the Olog-hai. You can drain your enemies for healing.

After a short brawl, a powerful captain will enter the courtyard and lead the attack. Your Elven Fury should be fully charged - use it to quickly destroy the enemy. In addition to the captain, a dragon will appear on the battlefield, which will interfere with you in every possible way and pour fire on the battlefield. I advise you to concentrate on the captain to end this torment quickly.

After the massacre, watch a long video. Now you will find yourself in a huge church, where you will have to face the Nazgul. Five Nazgul will come against you at once. This battle has a specific strategy. Don't rush at them right away. There are more of them and they will kill you quickly. Follow the prompts on the screen and wait until one of the enemies approaches you. After that, you can fill up the counter using regular attacks. Don't forget about parrying and dodging. Weakened Nazgûl can be expelled. After defeating all the Nazgûl, watch another long scene. After this, you will wake up in a cave next to your savior. Follow the elf until she reaches Shelob. Watch another scene. The mission and the first act ends on this note. Well, at least the ring was returned...

Act 2.

Mission 11. Ring of Power

Quest giver: Bruz

You returned the ring and learned the basics of orc enslavement. Now it's time to hunt. Go to the arena where you can meet Bruz, a very powerful orc who can easily defeat other captains. It will become the basis of your newly created army. With the open ability to dominate captains, you can enslave a weakened leader. Now you need to recruit this orc into your army. Over time, more unique abilities and orders will be revealed to you.

After the mission starts, you will see that the arena is in complete chaos. Bruz fights against weaker orcs and you can use this to your advantage. Deal with the archers so that they do not interfere with you during the battle. Then jump down and try to weaken the captain with a sneak attack.

Bruz is a typical Olog-hai and his attacks are very easy to dodge. You can enslave a few orcs to make the battle easier. Recruit Bruz into your army and watch a funny video. In the following missions, Bruz will teach you the basics of leading your army.

Mission 12. Wild Nature

Quest giver: Karnan

The mission begins in a calm environment. Go through the gate and go to the imprisoned orc. Enslave him and find out more about the new enemy. Head to another orc and repeat the process.

Continue moving forward and pass the dead orc bodies. You will find the creature responsible for the death of the orcs - the spirit of Karnan. He's not very happy with you. After the scene, get ready for battle. The ghost will take the form of a special caragor and attack you. This caragor is much stronger than usual. Fighting this form is very easy. Attack the enemy from the sides and shoot him in the head with a bow. In addition to the mini-boss, regular Caragors may appear on the map, so be careful.

After destroying one form, the boss will have another - Graug. This enemy is very strong. He has very powerful melee attacks, in addition to this, he can breathe fire and throw fireballs.

You must constantly move and not stay in one place for too long. Shoot this enemy in the head and don't get too close. You can find a lot of arrows in the arena.

At the end, the forest spirit will take the form of a dragon. Here the tactics are approximately the same as with Graug. Move around the arena and shoot the dragon's head.

After this, you can talk to the ghost guarding the forests. You will learn that a very serious enemy has awakened and only Talion can stop him.

Mission 13. Eyes of the Witch King

Quest giver: Eltariel

When you start the mission, you may notice a lot of orc bodies. This means that our old friend is here. Move forward and you will see a scene in which the elf deals with the Nazgul. Talk to her and go to the orc camp.

Here's a simple task. You must find and enslave the five worms marked on the map. You can also complete an additional goal by completing three covert enslavements. Complete this task first so you don't have to worry about it.

Remember that you need to enslave the worms, not kill them. Try not to blow up the barrels or fight these enemies, you should try to complete this mission in stealth mode. This mission will serve as a good test of your skills for upcoming missions.

The next interrogation will allow you to learn more about the chosen ones - a special group of orcs that are very close to the Nazgul and have special powers. Collect all the information and return to the elf. At this point, this mission is completed.

Mission 14. Conquest

Quest giver: Bruz

It's time to take part in your first siege. You will go into battle with Bruz and several captains who can be selected from the siege screen. Before the siege, you can choose upgrades for captains. After this, the siege will begin.

This fortress is quite weak and has low-level upgrades. Climb to the top of the wall and eliminate the archers. Meanwhile, your forces should attack the first checkpoint. After capturing all points, you will be able to fight with the commander.

Go down to the attackers and capture the first control point. Now you need to transfer your forces to another point. However, this time you will face several captains. Use environmental objects - summon a dragon or explode a barrel.

During the battle with the captains, try to enslave each of them. You will need this for the later stages of the game, where you will suffer a lot of losses while attacking or defending.

Don't forget about healing your weakened captains (when they are lying on the ground) - approach them and use Enslave. Unfortunately, enemies will interfere with you in every possible way, so be careful.

Capture the second point and the fortress will be yours. There will be no fight with the commander-in-chief, because he turns out to be your friend. This is the only exception. In other fortresses, for complete victory you need to defeat the Leader so that the fort comes under your control. Enjoy your first victory - Talion becomes stronger.

Mission 15. Three towers

Quest giver: Eltariel

The Nazgul want to reclaim the Khedir Towers that were captured by you, so you must stop them. Run straight until you find a lone Caragor. Defeat the beast and enslave it. Please note that you have a time limit, so hurry up.

Jump on the beast and ride towards the tower and a group of orcs. The optional objective is that you must kill seven orcs on horseback. The captain will join the battle. He is vulnerable to Caragor attacks and will therefore die very quickly.

After that, jump on the caragor and go to another tower. You need to cover long distances, but the beast has very good speed, so you can reach the right places without any problems.

You will encounter a group of orcs. There will be plenty of nests and meat baits to take advantage of. After this, switch to the next orc commander. Kill him and mount the caragor.

Ride to the next tower. The largest group of orcs and another captain await you there. These orcs will attack you, accompanied by a ghost. The battle tactics are identical to those in the first act - use dodges and counterattacks.

The key to success is focusing on one enemy. If you get into trouble, use hit and run tactics. Repeat several times and you will easily defeat the captain. After the fight, watch the scene. The mission ends after watching the video.

Mission 16. Fighting pits

Quest giver: Bruz

This mission is educational in nature. You need to choose one of your captains and order him to fight in the arena. Here the choice will be made for you in order to advance you through the plot.

Go to the starting point and you will see your Orc fighting the Arena Champion. You can't interfere, so just sit back and enjoy the spectacle. The winner gets several levels (the captain will not be able to get a level higher than you), and you get several items. In this mission, your captain will have a 100% win rate, so you don't have to worry about your orc losing.

After this mission, pits will become available to you, which are a good and fast way to develop your orcs. In addition to this, you can hire some strong captains there. The mission will end after your ally wins.

Mission 17. Allies

Quest giver: Gondor

Baranor survived the assault on Minas Ithil. He asks you to help him rescue the prisoners. You must climb the nearby buildings and enslave the orcs so that they can help you in the upcoming battles. The area is filled with orcs, so take your time.

You need to free three prisoners. They are far from each other and are guarded by many orcs. Try to use environmental objects (barrels, bait) and rescue the prisoners.

Remember that Baranor can help you. He can carry out sneak attacks. After rescuing three prisoners, you will have a new goal. You need to go into the cave and free the prisoners who are inside.

Go there and destroy all the orcs. There will be five prisoners and many weak orcs here. You will also encounter a new type of enemy - ghouls. They won't cause you much trouble.

Eventually you will meet a chief who is quite strong. He is a berserker, so be careful in close combat. Rely on counterattacks or ranged attacks. The mission will end after his death.

Mission 18. Bloody games

Quest giver: Gondor

Orcs use prisoners to carry out bloody battles in the arena. You must help them and find Idril. Move forward until you encounter a new enemy - dark caragors. These creatures are tougher and stronger than normal ones, so be careful.

Before the battle, I would advise going up to the stands and enslaving a few orcs. This will help you in the upcoming battle. After that, you can jump down and attack the animals.

After the fight, tame the animal and run to kill the enemies who have joined the battle. Idril will also join this battle.

The captain will appear at the end of the fight and he won't cause much trouble for your group. He outnumbers you, but your friends will make short work of the lesser orcs. The mission will end after he dies and watches the scene.

Mission 19. Uninvited guest

Quest giver: Gondor

The orcs want to celebrate the successful assault and plunder of Minas Ithil. Run with Idril to the camp and have fun with your enemies. You need to poison five barrels of grog.

I advise you to upgrade the ability that allows you to poison grog using a bow (aim at the barrel and press the desired button). Thanks to this, you can stay in the shadows and poison barrels in the blink of an eye.

Poison the grog and hide in the bushes. Wait until the orc captain arrives. He will make toast and get poisoned. His weakness is poison, which will do its job 100%.

Now you can destroy the remaining enemies. Focus on sneak attacks. The battle will be very easy, but be careful not to be surrounded, as there will be a lot of orcs. Don't forget that you can always retreat and restore your health with the help of single orcs. The mission will end after the captain dies.

Mission 20. The Chosen Ones

Quest giver: Eltariel

Run straight until you find the elf. Follow her and you will find yourself near a small camp. You need to kill nine orcs. This can be done very easily, as there are many explosive barrels and other environmental objects that can be used against enemies. Defeat weak units. An additional goal is competition. You need to kill more enemies than the elf.

Fight new enemy forces. Enslave them and interrogate them. You will learn that a group of captains will arrive soon.

Meet them halfway. There will be three captains at once. However, this will not pose too many problems. If you have problems killing captains, then wait until they turn their attention to the elf. After this, you can kill them without any problems. The mission will end the moment the last captain dies.

Mission 21. The hardships of war

Quest giver: Gondor

Meet Baranor. He will tell you about the plan of salvation. Defeat all enemies and save the first soldier. Now you can choose which soldier to save next.

There are a lot of orcs in the camp, but many of them can be sneak attacks. Try to weaken large units with explosions. You can also enslave archers because they will be useful in the upcoming battle.

Save all the soldiers. After this, the orc captain will appear and capture Baranor. This is very bad. Kill the captain. After this, another captain will enter the battle. You can call your bodyguard or activate elven rage to quickly destroy enemies.

Kill all enemies and complete the mission. Unfortunately, you did not save Baranor. However, you will have another try another time.

Mission 22. Ritual

Quest giver: Eltariel

At the very beginning, you will see a scene where one of the ghosts turns an orc into the chosen one (we met in previous missions). You need to stop the creation of these dirty creatures.

At the very beginning, you will have an additional goal - you need to enslave three archers and remain unnoticed. Enslave the archers on the map to make the upcoming battle easier. After capturing the enemy forces, you can shoot the barrel near the orcs who are participating in the ritual. A difficult battle awaits you. You must defeat three captains and one Nazgul. Order the elf to kill one of the captains - she can carry out a sneak attack on one of them.

This kill will make the battle easier - focus on the next captain and kill him. Enslave your enemies and order them to stay on the battlefield. Thanks to this, you will be able to replenish your ranks. In the end there will be a Nazgul. The battle scheme is standard. The mission will end after all enemies are dead.

Mission 23. Tower of Sorcery

Quest giver: Eltariel

It's time to return to Minas Morgul (formerly Minas Ithil) and find the palantir. The elf will help in our mission. Follow her. This mission will have an additional objective: subdue fifteen orcs. A very easy target. You will do it on the way to the gold mark. Most orcs will be distracted by the elf, so there will be no problems with submission.

As a result, you will reach the entrance to the castle, where you will be greeted by one of the ring ghosts. The fight with him is almost standard. This ghost can steal your followers and casts a powerful spell from which you need to hide under a dome of light.

After defeating the boss, we watch a short video and understand that we will not go further into the fortress while the curtain hangs in Minas Morgul. We need to take care of other matters and gather a strong army.

Mission 24. Scourge

Quest giver: Eltariel

The Nazgul are hunting you. Defend the fortress! This quest will become available in the Seregost location after capturing the fortress and completing the quest “Tower of Sorcery.” Helm Hammerhand will attack your fortress. He won't be alone. His army will include ghouls, caragors and other evil spirits. First of all, I advise you to destroy the dragon or enslave it so that it does not interfere. After this, you can safely switch to the Nazgul. The enslavement trick will not work; the Nazgul immediately destroys the tamed creature. We'll have to fight fair. Having lost a little health, the Nazgul will summon a dragon and go to another part of the fortress. The central gate will be destroyed and ghouls and giants will trample from there. Ignore them, your troops will deal with the threat. Focus on the boss. This is a standard tactic, but expulsion at the end will not help, and the boss would have killed you, but Eltariel arrived in time to help. She drives the boss out of the fortress. The siege ends at this point.

Mission 25. Fire and Fury

Quest giver: Eltariel

Eltariel tracked down Helm Hammerhand in the snowy peaks of Seregost. The time has come to team up with her and finally finish off the Nazgul. First you need to kill the dragon. Be careful, as his fire does a lot of damage. Keep your distance and shoot him in the head when he is about to breathe fire. Now follow the elf. There will be two more dragons in the fort. The tactics are standard, you destroy almost all your health, and Eltariel finishes off the dragon in the air and everyone is happy.

Eventually you will reach the boss. He will summon two dragons. Don't destroy two at once, because he will summon them again, and you will only be distracted in vain. Destroy only one dragon and focus all your attention on the boss. The mission will end after defeating the boss and watching the cutscene.

Mission 26. People from the graves

Quest giver: Eltariel

Following the Nazgul, Eltariel came to these haunted ruins. Find out what's going on here and put an end to it. This quest becomes available in the Gorgoroth location after completing the quest “Fire and Fury”.

Follow Eltariel to find out what the next Nazgul is up to. You will come across Isuldur. This is the king who cut the ring from Sauron’s finger and put it on his own, but power corrupted him. The Nazgul will not fight us right away, but will leave the undead to fight us. Shoot them in the head or freeze them (if you have the right skill) and hit them. Undead attacks cannot be blocked. Dodging or jumping helps.

After a short fight, you need to clear the entire area of ​​the undead. An additional task will appear: avoid detection. This is very easy to do, especially for those who played half the game in stealth mode. Isuldur will appear in the arena and make cutting phrases. Ignore him and destroy the targets.

After that, fight the boss. He will summon the undead again. The tactics are the same as with other Nazguls. The boss will begin casting a powerful spell after losing half his health. Run under the dome of light and watch the video.

After the cutscene, you will have to fight Castamir and his soldiers. The tactics of battle with Castamir are similar to the tactics of battle with captains. Only he has no weaknesses or strengths. Just hit and dodge his blows. That's all. The mission will end after defeating Castamir.

Mission 27. To Gorgoroth

Quest giver: Gondor

Have you forgotten about Baranor yet? He can be saved. You will have Idril on your team, which means your chances of winning increase. You will find yourself in a torture camp and will immediately have an additional goal: save nine Gondorians. You can drop them off on the way to Baranor. Before coming to Baranor, I would recommend taming a dozen orcs, because there will be two captains who will want to fight you.

Idril will show up for the fight when the captains see you. I advise you to subjugate the weakest of the captains to make the battle easier for yourself. The mission will end after you free Baranor. Watch the snotty scene and be touched.

Mission 28. The Curse of Karnan

Quest giver: Karnan

Tar-Goroth will rise from the pit in Gorgoroth. We can't let him come to the surface. You will find yourself in a mine where you need to defeat the captain and ten henchmen. The captain will run away when he loses almost all his health.

Jump into the mines to stop the Balrog. The spirit of Karnan will help you with this. Shoot the demon in the back with an enhanced bow shot while he is hitting the spirit. Don't forget about the additional task: not to get hit by falling debris. The demon will begin to run away after you have fired four successful reinforced shots. Get on Karnan's back and run after him. The fight will be very easy. Strike, and then press the buttons that the game advises you to do. Having lost almost all his health, the Balrog will capture Karnan. You will jump down and you need to make a couple of accurate power-up shots right into the demon's chest. Then saddle Karnan and run after the demon. The mission will end here.

Mission 29. Best defense

Quest giver: Bruz

This task will become available after capturing the fortress in the Nurnen location and completing the task “The Curse of Karnan”.

A very easy task. Run around the points and kill enemy troops together with the captains. After a successful defense, go to the bastion. Watch the video. Bruz will betray you, inflict a mortal wound and throw you from the fortress. The fortress in the Nurnen location will be lost.

Mission 30. Beaten

Quest giver: Bruz

I hope you want revenge? Bruce flew high. Give him a hard landing. Krysary will come to your rescue with the latest news.

You need to save your comrades. Your allies are guarded by enemy orcs and captains. I advise you to subdue the archers so that there are fewer problems. You need to free three captains and their soldiers. Kill the enemies at the point, free the captain, repeat three times.

Watch the video. The Ratman will remember that he dug a secret entrance to the fortress a long time ago. Use it, and you will immediately find yourself in the throne room, where Bruz will be with the army. Kill him and thirty orcs. I advise you to focus on the Bruz captains. Subdue them to make the battle easier.

As soon as Bruz has little health left, he will throw a line and run away from the fortress. Finish off the remaining enemies and celebrate the capture of the fortress... again.

Mission 31. Lost

Quest giver: Bruz

Krysary wants to meet with you. Enemy orcs have captured the Pathfinder, and we must deal with this matter. Show strength so that other orcs will fear and respect us.

Go to the meeting place. Bruz will meet you there and leave you to fight against a detachment of caragor riders. The mission will end after you have defeated or tamed all the enemies that attacked you. The Ratman will go in search of the Pathfinder and Bruz. You'll know when he finds them.

Mission 32. Frozen Flame

Quest giver: Karnan

Tar-Goroth rampages across the vastness of Mordor, destroying everyone in his path. Send this Balrog back to the Abyss. Jump onto Karnan and follow the demon's tracks to find him.

Having followed the tracks, you will realize that the demon has driven you into a trap. He will appear behind you and run towards you. The spirit of Karnan will run through the caves (automatically), and you will need to shoot at the stalactites so that they slow down your worst enemy.

After running through the cave, you will find yourself on an icy lake. There is no point in fighting him for now. So just run away from his attacks until the spirit of the forest in the form of a dragon comes to the rescue. You will have an additional goal: hit the Balrog with ice blasts three times. Fly closer and avoid the fiery blows from the demon. Hit it with frost breath and then use ice blasts. After that, throw it into the water. Repeat four times until victory. Watch the video and get rewards. The mission will end here.

Mission 33. The vicissitudes of fate

Quest giver: Eltariel

Interrupt the ritual and prevent the captains from becoming the Chosen Ones. This task will become available in the Gorgoroth location after clearing all the Khedir and capturing the fortress. There will also be an additional goal here: to free the supporter before the ritual ends. I advise you to tame all the orcs on the map and free all the captains to make the battle easier for yourself.

Two Nazgûl and two captains will come against you. Captains cannot be tamed, because they are the chosen ones, you can only lower their level and then they will flee from the battlefield. Watch the video after defeating the enemies. The mission ends on this note.

Mission 34. Putrid Wind

Quest giver: Karnan

Karnan sacrificed herself to destroy Tar-Goroth, but Zog survived, and now the wind carries the acrid smell of decay. Return to Carnan Forest and find out what's going on. This quest is available in the Nurnen location.

You need to kill this necromancer who is desecrating the sacred forest. Follow the scent to the gold mark. At this place there will be those risen from the dead. Kill them and go to the place where they come from.

You need to clear the altar so that the dead won't bother you anymore. Zog will also be there, who will try to stop you. Ignore him and the dead. If you kill the dead, Zog will raise them, so clear the altar right away. Zog will get angry and run away. The mission will end here.

Mission 35. Ghouls and graugs

Quest giver: Karnan

Zog's cultists continue to raise the dead, and the dead attract the attention of the ghouls. Join forces with Karnan and put an end to this. Jump on Karnan's back and run to cleanse the altars of the necromancers. You have an additional goal: destroy fifteen ghoul mounds. Mounds are where ghouls come from. I advise you to destroy them so that the ghouls do not interfere with your cleaning of the altars.

You don’t have to be distracted by the enemies, Karnan will take care of them. Your task is to cleanse three altars. The mission will end after you clear the last totem.

Mission 36. Archers of Morgoth

Quest giver: Karnan

Cultists of Zog are trying to resurrect the archers of Morgoth - an ancient order of orc warriors. Join forces with Karnan to stop the ritual and return the archers to their graves.

Jump on the dragon and fly to the showdown. You need to clear three totems and kill forty deceased archers of Morgoth. The dragon will help very well in this matter. When clearing the totems, he will divert his attention to himself, and you can clear them without problems.

The mission will end after you complete both objectives. Karnan will give instructions for the future and fly away.

Mission 37. Burning forest

Quest giver: Karnan

Karnan managed to survive the battle with the Balrog, but now she is attacked by Zog's minions. Protect the Karnan forest. Here you will have the same goal. You need to kill enemies and cleanse the totems of necromancers.

After clearing the altars, you need to immediately return to Karnan's hideout. Here you need to kill orcs with torches so that they don't burn down the entire forest. Focus your attention on these targets, the rest of the orcs can be ignored. Eventually they will run away.

Go to the shelter and talk to Karnen. Karnan is tired and after the conversation goes to rest for a long time. The mission will end here.

Mission 38. Fire from ice

Quest giver: Karnan

Zog intends to raise the Balrog from the icy lake of Seregost. We must not allow him to fulfill his plans.

Run to the ritual site to stop the orcs from summoning the demon. Clear the totems without being distracted by enemies or Zog. Try to pull them towards you so that they move away from the totems and do not interfere with your cleaning.

After clearing the totems, fight Zog and try to kill him. This is a very strong opponent. He is immune to jumping and has very high damage from ranged attacks. I defeated him this way: I shot him in the head with a bow, reduced his health to half, called on the orcs to help, and while they distracted him, I went behind his back and killed him with a sneak attack.

Mission 39. Army of the Dead

Quest giver: Karnan

Unwilling to give up, Zog's minions are trying to resurrect both him and the soldiers who died during the siege of Minas Ithil from the dead. Stop them once and for all. The orcs successfully resurrect their leader. He becomes even stronger, there are even more totems. You again need to cleanse the totems from the filth of necromancers. Each totem is guarded by orcs led by a captain.

There will be a lot of enemies. So try to drag them away from the totems, and then run at elven speed and clear them. After clearing the totems, you can finish off Zog once and for all. The entire necromancer's army will flee from the arena, and you will be left to fight one on one. You can kill him with sneak attacks, just run around the arena and wait until he loses sight of you. After killing Zog, Karnan will fly into the arena and burn all the corpses in the arena so that no one else will rebel.

Mission 40. Poisoned road

Quest giver: Bruz

Bruz captured your supporters and poisoned them. Save them before they die from poison. Follow the Ratsary to find your supporters. You need to save three supporters. There will be an additional goal (I had one): kill five enemies with a strike from the shadows. Onions will help you with this.

I advise you to subjugate more orcs so that there are no problems with the troops. Free your captains and then kill Bruz's assistant. The mission will end after his death. We'll be going after Bruz's head soon.

Mission 41. Discovery

Quest giver: Bruz

Ratsar thinks he has found his tracker. Talk to him. Follow the Ratman and he will lead you to the expected location of the Pathfinder. Enter the cave. Bruz will be there, who will again make caustic phrases and run away from you.

You need to save the Pathfinder from enemies. Run deeper into the cave. There will be no tracker there, but regular explosive barrels. It is a trap. Run back. You will have an additional goal: not to get hit by barrel explosions. To do this, you need to destroy the archers who are blowing them up. After destroying them, you can leave the cave.

At the exit from the cave a squad of orcs will be waiting for you. Kill them, listen to Ratsar and complete the mission. We just have to wait a little longer.

Mission 42. Worse than death

Quest giver: Bruz

The Ratman found Bruz's camp. Rescue the Pathfinder and then finish off Bruz. Go to meet Ratsar, and then follow him so that he will lead you to Bruz's camp.

Now you need to enter the camp without raising the alarm. I hope that after so many missions you have already learned to stealth? I advise you to subdue the rest of the soldiers, as well as the archers and shield bearers at the top, in order to make the future battle easier for yourself. You need to find the Pathfinder. He will sit in chains. Free him and follow him to Bruz. He has real problems.

Use Bruz's weaknesses to leave him with very little health. After that, subjugate him and disgrace him - worse than death.

Act 3.

Mission 43. Light Lord

Quest giver: Eltariel

You have gathered yourself an army. Mordor is almost in your hands. It's time to challenge Sauron!

Warning! Once this task is activated, there will be no turning back. So I advise you to go through all the side quests so as not to miss anything important and necessary.

Now you need to defeat Sauron's army. Destroy ordinary orcs with captains. The further you advance, the stronger the captains become. You can subdue enemy captains to make battles easier. Captains with an iron will can be disgraced so that they flee from the battlefield and do not get in your way. Isuldur will meet you at the end of the bridge. The tactics are standard. Block his blows, and when he goes behind your back, dodge. As soon as Isuldur starts casting a powerful spell, jump under the dome, which will protect you. Watch a short video.

You now have a new ring and abilities. You can summon ghosts. Attack Minas Morgul. And you also have a new ability: resurrecting the dead. Use it to summon troops to help you in the battle against the orcs. Here you need to capture four points. At each point there will be a Nazgul and a bunch of orcs. You are already an experienced fighter, so you won't have any problems.

After capturing all the points, go to the main gate. Thanks to the ring from Isuldur, you will easily pass through the veil to fight the Witch King. The tactics are almost the same as with other Nazguls. The boss will also summon the rest of the Nazgul, whose attacks you must always dodge so as not to die quickly. After expelling the boss, watch the video.

The action moves from Minas Morgul to the tower of Sauron. Now you, Celebrimbor and the elf must subdue Sauron. The game transfers control to Kelembrimbor. First, there is a battle with the usual form of Sauron, then he turns into another and begins to hit with heavy attacks that cannot be parried. Try to subdue Sauron when he is low on health. The attempt will fail, and he will move on to the first form. Finish him off and try to subdue him again. Watch the video. The mission ends and so does the act. We smoothly move on to the fourth act, where you will need to defend the fortresses from the invasion of orcs.

As a last resort, we jump down and finish off the leader hand-to-hand. We get the Signal Fire rune (legendary) (When killed with a head explosion, 2 elven shots are restored).

Having installed our leader, we return to the queen. She was already completely overcome by illness, and therefore Sauron was able to move into her. But after the destruction of the staff, the disease disappears without a trace. Reward: +1400 experience.

Together with the dwarf Torvin we sit on the caragors and go to the cave of the giant beast. The cave turns out to be empty. There we find the last elven artifact - a jewelry chisel. In the vision we see how the elf Celebrimbor, bewitched by the magic of the young Saruman, created the main ring of omnipotence.

Objective: Defeat the legendary Graug

Add. task: Knock 3 ghouls out of the graug's paw

We come to consciousness. We were attacked by a giant beast, and the dwarf was unconscious. Let's start the fight. The beast has two modes of behavior:

1. We move away from the boss, then he will decide to ram us. Before the beast disperses, it will let out a scream, at this moment we shoot an arrow into the beast’s mouth. From such a hit the animal will run faster and will not stop. We dodge by jumping to the side. The beast will crash into the wall, we approach it and strike at a vulnerable spot.

2. After each injury, swarms of underground monsters begin to attack the graug. And the graug grabs them and eats them, replenishing his health. We need to shoot the grug's left arm in slow mode to prevent the boss from recovering.

When all the underground monsters are killed, the boss will again enter the first phase of behavior. We repeat the same steps three more times, and the boss will be defeated. Reward: +600 experience, +150 M for extra. task.

20. Lord of Mordor
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Walkthrough

In order to attack the Black Hand, all the leaders must be branded. This is quite a long process. (If it is not possible to kill particularly strong leaders, then you need to brand his bodyguards and organize a rebellion against the leader).

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 your archenemy

On the enemy shore we meet a sworn enemy (a random Uruk captain) with a huge army.

Objective: Covertly deplete the Black Warlord

Inside the fortress we meet the enemy commander. He has no intention of fighting us; instead, he is hunting us. There are many copies of the Black Commander roaming around the fortress, we need to hide from them. To win, we need to secretly kill 4 copies of the enemy by exhaustion. 8 minutes are given for this.

Objective: Go to Ioreth

Having passed the test, we go to the main hall, we see the illusion of Ioreth’s wife. At this moment, the Black Commander attacks us. We press the buttons indicated on the screen and the enemy is defeated. But only the Black commander was killed, and the necromancer Black Hand is still alive.

Mordor is on fire
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Walkthrough

Returning to Nurn, we discover that a volcano has become active in Mordor, which means the Black Hand is somewhere here. We visit the broken camp, where Gollum gives us an elven artifact.

In another vision we see how Celebrimbor forged the ring of power under the supervision of Saruman. Having embossed a red inscription on the ring, giving the villains unlimited power, the elf was also able to secretly forge a secret blue inscription, giving the effect of invisibility to good characters. With the help of this ruse, he managed to escape from Saruman's captivity.

Objective: Storm the Black Gate

With our team of leaders we fight with ordinary Uruks. Then five enemy leaders in red armor appear - the Five Claws of the Black Hand. A 5v5 team battle begins, not counting us.

Objective: Get to the top of the Black Gate

After all these battles we can enter the fortress; to do this, we climb to the top floor of the gate. A lone necromancer awaits us inside. Suddenly he kills himself, draws the spirit of the elf into his body, and thereby turns into the revived Sauron.

We watch the last vision of the Second Age of Middle-earth, how Celebrimbor, after escaping, gathered his army and opposed Sauron, but lost, unable to hold 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 world of spirits.

Congratulations! The whole game is completed!!!

After completing all story missions, you can continue playing in the open world of Mordor.

Passing missions

1. Prologue

The hero Talion examines the murdered loved ones. Looking at the broken sword, he remembers how he taught his son named Dirael how to fight. In this flashback we explore the basic controls of the game:

Left mouse button (LMB) – sword strike,

Right mouse button (RMB) – blocking an enemy strike,

Shift+LMB – finish off a fallen enemy,

Space - run,

Space + Ctrl – knock down an enemy.

In the next memory, connected with the hero’s wife, Ioreth, we study secretive movement. Hold Shift and go to sneak up on your 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 will have to avenge our death on 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 (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 fire).

An Uruk killer creeps up behind us, but the hero neutralizes him in time. We interrogate the killer: we capture the enemy (hold "Ctrl", press "space"), begin the interrogation (without releasing "Ctrl", press "space" again). We receive information about one captain of Sauron’s army - his name is Gimub the Slave Trader. Our next main task is to kill this captain.

Hero selection system

After uniting, the elf and I became one. 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. The elf's shots can kill enemies from afar, but the number of arrows is limited (the number is indicated by the blue bars in the lower left corner under the map), so you need to spend them wisely.

Minimap, global map

All nearby enemies and bonuses such as medicinal herbs are visible on the game minimap (in the lower left corner of the screen). Turn on the global map (key “M”). The location of all tasks and artifacts is indicated here. The entire 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 many orcs around, among them there are even several captains. But you shouldn’t immediately run into a crowd of enemies; it’s better to use stealth.

Having reached the goal, we come close to the golden sign and turn on the main task.

Murder of a Slave Trader

Objective: Identify Gimub

We go to the world of spirits (key “V”), find a red silhouette ahead, 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, and 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, quietly jump on the boss from above, so we will deprive him of 50 - 75% of his health. We finish off the boss in close combat.

As a reward we get +600 experience, +50 for an additional mission, as well as a legendary rune for the dagger - Creepy voices(when killing a captain or leader, concentration and health are fully restored).

3. Suspicious travel companion
Shadow of Mordor. Tips, hints

Objective: Follow the trail

While talking with a freed slave, we notice a strange creature in the distance. Let's follow in his footsteps. We go to 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.

There will be a group of several orcs ahead. 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, and use the anvil there. After this, quick access to four more areas of the map will open.

Objective: Explore the cave

The creature runs into the cave, we follow it. We climb to the second floor.

(If you have already completed the first survival challenge, you will find the Lothrond plant needed for the second challenge here).

We enter the world of ghosts, examine the glowing platform on the floor, and find the elf’s medallion. Immediately after this, the creature runs out of the cave, and we are attacked by the predatory animal Karagor. We shoot the animal in the head (hold down “RMB”, press “space” to slow down time, hold down “LMB”).

Objective: Leave the cave following a strange creature

Bonus Objective: Eliminate 7 enemies. Outside we are attacked by a detachment of orcs, but now among them there are Uruk hunters throwing spears. We kill long-range enemies with archery shots and finish off the rest. We pick up the arrows on the ground and shoot the second Kragor beast that runs out.

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 guide the elf to his treasures.

The building is completed. +600 experience, +50 experience for extra. task.

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 Krysary. He promises to help us in dealing with the orc captains. The first target is his sworn enemy - Goroth the Karagor Tamer (strength 6).

Objective: Follow Krysariy

Additional task: Ratsar's health must remain above 50%

We go through the orc camp and enter into battle with the detachment. During the battle, you need to protect Ratsary from enemy attacks. One of the enemies is holding a shield, so you need to attack him only from behind, to do this we jump over him (spacebar when approaching the enemy).

Objective: Find Goroth without raising an alarm

We go along the right side, along the cliff. We climb onto the wall of the tower, crawl onto the right wall, and move further along the ground, keeping to the right side.

Along the way, we can activate the spirit tower in the Udun Pass area.

We approach the desired camp, turn into a spirit, and examine the boss. After this, we aim at the gate of the cage with the animal and shoot. While Goroth is frightened by the Caragors and runs away, we can calmly catch up with him, interrogate him (hold “Ctrl”, hold down “space”, press “space”), and then kill him.

Reward: +700 experience, +50 experience for extra. mission, rune Grim Resolve ur. 8 (ranged attack defense: 8%) for the sword. After the victory, our ally becomes a captain and receives a 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 which we begin gathering. These plants are not shown on the map, and their color differs little from ordinary grass, so it is very difficult to find them. Herbs location:

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, there are about three bales of hay.

2 grass. Behind the large Uruk tent.

Objective: Collect 3 poisonous herbs

1 herb. In front of the northern wall.

2 grass. At the western wall, south of the cart with the lamp.

3 grass. Down behind the south wall.

Objective: throw poison into grog barrels without being noticed.

Add. task: stealth kill 5 Uruks.

The easiest way is to secretly kill lone archers on top of houses. We walk along the roofs of the southern houses and slide down the ropes to the northern part of the camp. Here the task is divided into five points. We quietly approach each boiler and throw poison into it. Immediately after this, we run back and hide in the nearest shelter, as the Uruks will begin to gather towards the cauldron. Having poisoned everyone, we complete the task.

6. Fragments of memories
Lord of the Rings. Middle-earth: Shadow 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, killing two archers in front.

Objective: Find the Artifact of Visions

Gollum leads us to a clearing with destroyed walls. Here we enter the world of spirits, following the tracks we find a panel on the floor with an artifact (located near the south-eastern corner wall). Let's find out the next part of the story.

We come to consciousness. New monsters - Ghouls - begin to crawl out of the ground. They are weak, but there are a lot of them. We run from them, dodge them, shoot at barrels of gunpowder. After some time, we get the “Phantom Flash” ability (R key) – a concussive blow to the ground. To restore the ability, you need to deal a certain number of regular blows. The ability is ideal against weak but numerous enemies.

Reward: +600 experience, +50 M for extra. task.

7. The main truth
Shadow of Mordor. Walkthrough

In the Udun Burial Grounds area we catch up with the runaway Gollum.

Objective: Find Gollum

We move into the world of spirits and simply follow the tracks.

Objective: Drive the Graug away from the cave

As a result, we get to the entrance to the cave. At the entrance there is a giant beast - a graug. We look to the right, not far under the arch we notice a hanging carcass of meat, we shoot at it with a bow. The monster runs towards 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 onto the southern wall and find an artifact on the floor.

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. challenge: get out in less than a minute

At this time, the graug returns and causes destruction in his own cave. We need to leave this place in 3 minutes. After the vision, the elf receives a new ability, “Strike from the Shadows,” necessary for fast movement. We aim our bow at the farthest enemy, but don’t shoot, but use a new ability (hold down “RMB”, press the “Z” key), from this we will instantly be transported 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. The path to power
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Walkthrough

In the Udun Pass area we continue to help Krysariy. He was captured by Captain Brogg Twin. You need to have time to free the prisoner in 4 minutes.

Objective: prevent Krysariy from being executed

Add. Objective: Covertly kill 4 archers without being noticed.

Killing with a shot from afar does not count as a stealth kill, so each archer will have to climb up and attack them from behind.

To engage in battle, it is better to jump on top of a soldier with a shield. The boss himself is invulnerable to hidden 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, this will cause him to lose most of his health. After this, he can be interrogated and killed.

During the interrogation, we receive information about the first leader - Mogg the Second Twin. (Chiefs have much more power than captains. The only way to learn about leaders is by killing their captain-bodyguards).

Reward: +600 experience, +50 M for extra. mission. Rune – Nature's Wrath lvl.11 (Chance of recovering 2 elven shots for any kill while riding a beast: 21%).

9. Leader
Walkthrough of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

We go to the place where Krysary went. He was again caught and tied up by his relatives. We save him, and then take on the enemies.

Objective: Defeat 2 berserkers in training

Add. task: kill the berserker from the edge

We climb the high tower. Hanging on the top floor, we lure one berserker to us (key “G”), and when he approaches, we throw him down. We kill the second one from the back.

Objective: kill Mogg

Chief Mogg himself enters the arena. There is a piece of meat hanging nearby; if you shoot at it, the animals will come running. But it’s better not to do this, this will make the boss angry and stronger. It's 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 his fire sword.

Reward: +600 experience, +50 M for extra. mission.

We killed one leader according to the story quest, now we have to kill any three remaining leaders ourselves. To do this, we first look for the captains, reduce their health, interrogate them, reveal the identities and information about the leaders. Each leader has several bodyguards, so it is better to eliminate individually his captains - bodyguards - before the battle with the leader.

Murder Streak

In the “Prisoner of War Camp” area we find the leader Mogg Whisperer.

Objective: Kill 5 Uruks in 45 seconds

We stand on a high tower and shoot 5 Uruks from afar. Only after this the leader will appear.

If the leader appeared without his bodyguards, then killing him would not be difficult. Reward. Rune – Cold Heart lvl.14 (Chance to restore 50 units of concentration for each kill with a head explosion: 67%).

Access to an additional task of the “Vendetta” type opens.

Its lovely

In the “Eastern Garrison” area we find the leader Crimp Gloomy.

Objective: brutally kill Uruk's pet

Savage murder (hold “Shift”, press “RMB”). You need to do this unnoticed, so that you can then hide in the bushes.

Kirimp Gloomy can be killed with a stealth or combat finishing move. He has the “Battle-Scarred” ability, so you can’t just kill him; he needs to deal the final blow in QTE mode: quickly move the mouse over him and press the button that appears on the screen.

Dishonor

In the Western Garrison area we find the leader Tuk the Dark.

Objective: Make 5 supporters flee in terror

We use exhaustion (E key) to make the warriors run away from us.

Tuka the Dark is an archer with explosive arrows. The easiest way to kill him is by bringing him close to the fires and blowing them up. For victory we receive the Foresight rune (legendary) (The distraction radius of the bow increases by 50%).

10. Dark Monument
Middle-ers: Shadow of Mordor. Walkthrough

Hirgon has a new plan - to destroy the statue of Sauron at the southern gate of the global map. For this we will need a lot of explosives. With Hirgon we go south, clearing out the camps along the way.

Objective: 0/9 Clear the area from enemies and capture the grog cart

It is best to kill enemies one by one, shoot at fires, destroy cells. After the victory, people begin to drag the captured cart forward.

Objective: 0/8 Kill the entire camp and clear the way for the grog cart

We act exactly the same. During the battle, underground monsters begin to appear. After the camp we fight the monsters on the bridge.

Objective: 0/17 Kill the guards

We go along the upper right towers, kill the nearest archers, collect arrows, shoot the archers on the other side. You can drop pieces of meat onto enemies from below, blow up fires and barrels. We collect arrows for the next task.

Objective: Protect the grog cart, Kill the archers

Add. Objective: Kill 3 archers with headshots

We have already come close to the southern gate. Here you need to destroy enemies around the cart in close combat.

Task: Pushing the grog cart

At some point, the workers at the cart are killed, and we need to push the cart ourselves (Ctrl key), but we will have to be distracted several times to kill enemies. It is better to quickly shoot at fires, beehives, barrels, thus destroying entire groups of enemies.

As a result, we destroy the statue. Reward: +600 experience, +150 M for extra. task.

11. Black commander
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Walkthrough

After the destruction of the statue, the leader of the leaders begins to hunt us. We enter into open battle with him.

Add. objective: 0/10 Stab an uruk while grappling

Performed on normal enemies. We capture the uruk (hold down “Ctrl”, hold down “space”), then apply regular blows (press “LMB”). 10 hits can be performed in three grabs.

Objective: Defeat the Black Warlord

The commander is armed with a club, so we cannot block his blows, only dodge them. The game prompts us to type combos on ordinary warriors so that our sword begins to glow, after which we deliver a super blow to the boss commander (press the “F” key). We repeat this 5-6 times, and the enemy will be defeated.

After the victory, we are visited by the girl Lithariel from the coast of the Nurnen Sea. She invites us to other lands - to the Queen of the Coast - Lady Marwen.

Reward: +800 experience, +150 M for extra. task.

The next mission will take us to other lands (to another global map). But we can return to the previous map at any time.

As soon as you finish watching the video telling you that you now have a son, the training for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will begin. It will take the form of a training session with your son and will make it clear that there is nothing better than pressing the right mouse button at the right time. Well, or a space, I’ll add on my own behalf. Once you learn how to properly fight enemies, you will find yourself right in the middle of a fight that has already broken out at your post.

An unprecedented thing! Orcs have arrived and will have to be destroyed. Watch another video (get used to it, the game consists almost entirely of videos!) and start forging the sword. When the weapon is ready, you can go lower and uncover the bow. You have only four arrows in your quiver. And they are not simple ones, but some kind of energetic ones, or something. While aiming, time will slow down, so I advise you to shoot the running orcs with accurate shots to the head. If you suddenly don’t hit, you’ll have to finish off with a sword. When the battle ends, you will have a new task that will continue the passage of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

1. Slave Trader

Well, we need to find the orc captain, who is so interesting to us on the assignment. This is quite simple to do - mark the task on the map with the right mouse button and follow the pointer that appears on the main screen. By the way, it is worth noting that we will work exclusively from stealth, since this way there is less risk of death. Therefore, get ready to track down and distract the target.

We hit the road to the camp, where the captain we are interested in seems to have been spotted. Along the perimeter there are towers on which orc archers are comfortably perched. I advise you to kill the shooters on each of the towers one by one, otherwise you risk being caught in crossfire. Now that the path is relatively clear, you can begin to cut out the orcs from his retinue. Considering he only has four companions, I opted to take four clear headshots that would surely finish off everyone around him. Then you can hide in stealth and, approaching from behind, inflict a lot of damage on him. You can immediately destroy almost the entire life of the enemy, because this is the most interesting way. But you can compete with him in close combat, it’s also not difficult. Only a little longer. The slave trader's corpse will drop an important upgrade for your weapon - a magic rune needed to complete Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Well, let's watch the next video for the game.

2. Suspicious fellow traveler

Have you noticed an old friend, known from films? Well, this Gollum, it seems, turned out to be immortal and lived for two and a half thousand years. Although, it would seem, he fell into the lava for his charm... However, follow the sign on the map to begin your task. Now we will have to go to the world of spirits in order to see the trace of the creature we need. In this task we will follow Gollum's trail, so press V periodically to check the correct route.

If you followed Gollum's footsteps, you will find yourself in a cave where you will pick up some jewelry that will restore the memory of your ghost friend. I won't reveal who it is. However, if you read our review, you should understand who we are talking about. Just be careful, a dog might attack you here. Well, more accurately, it’s a Caragor, but it looks too much like a mutated dog. Shoot him with a bow before you run out of concentration.

Now it’s time to chase after our old friend, because the passage of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor does not wait. Along the way you will have to stumble upon enemies who are finishing off the Caragor. It is better to shoot the dog first, and only then fight with the orcs, since even a wounded caragor is capable of drinking a lot of blood before death. Well, the path is clear and you can safely continue the pursuit of Gollum. As soon as you catch up with him, you will learn a little more information from the next video.

3. Spirits of the past

Place a new mark on the map, which is not so far to travel to. There you will find out for the first time who the Ratsary is. The puny orc, who is distinguished by a very strong lust for power, will play his role in this part. You won’t be able to kill him even if you want, so all you have to do is take a deep breath and agree to cooperate. True, in order to deal with him intelligently, you will have to finish off one of the orc captains. However, this is only to our advantage! Moreover, Ratsary himself will not follow us to help. Kill enemies near the quest point and continue the passage.

Here you will see where you can find Goroth and continue the passage of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Run stealthily there so as not to provoke any of the orcs along the way. Having reached the place, either shoot all the enemies, finishing off the remaining ones from stealth, or release the caragor from the cage. The last option is preferable, since the captain will have some health left and you can finish him off very easily. Plus, it's always nice when someone does your dirty work for you.

4. The path to power

Oops, they were preparing to execute Krysaria. Well, he has not yet played his final role, so let's help him get rid of annoying enemies. Before rushing headlong into battle with a crowd of orcs, clear the rear and scout out a route to retreat. There are archers on the towers, which it is better to take down quietly so that they do not create problems by detecting you. After that, shoot the remaining shots at the enemies and start killing them. Block blows in time and move away from the line of attack to avoid taking damage. You can shoot the executioner in the knee so that he doesn’t run far. Kill enemies and free your ward.

5. Fragments of memories

I think it's time to continue to learn the story of our dearest spirit, which still follows us on our heels. The connection is interesting, we need to understand its nature and begin to act independently. So let's find Gollum again, who's hanging around nearby. Marked a point on the map? Run there and start escorting. It is best to advance in stealth so as not to kill enemies in droves. However, the latter also has its own charm. Archers are great at dodging headshots. So, in addition, you will complete an additional task.

When you find yourself next to the next artifact, you will be able to see some more revelations of memories from the life of a ghost. The bad thing is that this comrade remembers, but we suffer from the pain. Well, never mind, you will have to endure for the good of your neighbor, because the passage of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor must be completed. When you finish watching the next cartoon, you can start dealing with the enemies that suddenly crawled out of the ground. Collect combo points to make a flash of light. Simply kill eight enemies and press the R key - this will release the light and all the Grauls will die. This is where the task ends.

6.1. Leader

Well, the quest has been marked, we have reached the mark and we can begin the next stage. In order for us to be heard at the top, we will have to kill as many as four commanders-in-chief in this region. These are the kind of military leaders who rose to the top using force. They differ from other orcs in having increased health, stronger attacks and captain bodyguards. Those. in addition to the strong version of the captain, we will also have to kill two captains and crowds of small enemies around. Feeling tense? Same thing.

So, the first leader who will fall by our hand is Mogg the Second Twin. Why is the name so strange? It’s simple, we already once killed the captain, who was his brother. That's why the second twin. But for him to get out, he’ll have to send a couple of berserkers to feed the vultures. Keep in mind that there are many, many orcs in the camp. You won't be able to cut everyone out; someone will definitely raise the alarm. However, if you have time, you can work from stealth. It will be much easier in the future. But first, kill the berserkers so that the leader himself comes out and you can kill him in the passage of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

I think that at the moment the leader came out, you found yourself on the platform where the berserkers were training. Notice where Mogg jumped from. He jumped off, but he won’t be able to climb back! I will share my method of killing. Just run towards it and climb onto this platform. Immediately go into stealth and move to the second edge of the hill. As soon as they lose sight of you, jump from stealth onto one orc. Next, go back to the platform. And again in a circle. You will have to jump on the leader four times to make him die. However, you can come up with your own way of killing this animal.

6.2. Guard

Well, Blorg Executioner is waiting for us. A fairly simple leader who is not difficult to deal with. Place a mark on the map and go visit him. In order for the leader himself to get out, he will have to call to raise the alarm. Kill a couple and, after waiting for the enemy with a torch, go into stealth. The one with the torch will definitely run to raise the alarm, so just wait for Blorg to come out.

True, before this you will have to kill 35 orcs. Well, let's use either stealth, or our sword, or barrels of gunpowder, which, when exploding, cause enormous damage to the enemy. You can kill about a dozen with one shot. Or you can collect all the arrows in the area by shooting enemies one by one. Once three and a half dozen opponents have fallen, you will find yourself face to face with Chief Blorg. The easiest way to kill him is through executions. Just collect combo points and deal devastating damage to the enemy. When he falls, you can go to the next leader to continue the passage of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

6.3. From the cage to freedom

Pugrish Meat Grinder is one of the simplest leaders. You will really need it to complete the current task. Arriving at the camp, look around and note where the archers are. They usually also have ghostly arrows, so move from the shooter's nest to the nest to clear out the enemies and open the cage with the caragor with a shot. This is the only way you can lure Pugrish out into the open.

It is noteworthy that the Meat Grinder does not like the Karagors very much and falls into a wild rage from them. Therefore, at this stage of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor it is better not to open the cage with the beast. Inspect all approaches to Pugrish so that you don’t have to attack into the unknown. I advise you to use something flammable to kill half of the enemies. Then just finish off the leader and go to the latter.

6.4. Murder Streak

Well, the most unbelieving boss is waiting for us here. He wants us to kill five enemies almost simultaneously. Keep in mind that you will only have three quarters of a minute to take down all five. The counter will start after the first kill, so I advise you to do it this way. Look where there is a group of orcs that you can easily shoot. Next, remove the archer - the counter will start. Now four arrows to the heads - four more corpses and part of the task will be completed.

How to kill the boss is again not important. I preferred to still deal with enemies one by one using stealth, constantly hiding from pursuit. When the leader was left alone, I used the sword to kill the last leader I needed in a fair fight. Of course, the battle is not completely fair, since you still have to kill the practically defenseless unfortunate orc, but the plot requires it. This will end the series of murders of leaders and we can learn the next continuation of the story. The walkthrough of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor continues.

7. The main truth

An interesting point - Gollum not only survived in Orodruin, but also lived for two and a half thousand years, waiting for our ghost. But he will not reveal his cards ahead of time. When you arrive at the place where he was supposed to be waiting for you, you will have to once again go into the world of spirits. Having seen the traces of this scoundrel, get to the cave where he hid. And he disappeared so quietly that no one even moved. And now we have to make our way past the feisty graug. The timer will be ticking, and we will have to run a lot to make it in time.

When you are already inside, simply move stealthily to your destination, where another artifact awaits, telling a little more about the life of a ghost. Of course, those who know the history of Middle-earth already understand what kind of character this is. But we don’t reveal our cards, but watch a cartoon with a story. As soon as you finish watching it, you will have to escape from Graug. A very dangerous enemy, don't even try to kill him. The gruls will also run away, because the graug will kill all living things. Here you will suddenly learn a new ability, Strike from the Shadows, which will help very, very significantly. Simply press Aim with your bow and the Z button to instantly teleport to your chosen enemy and kill them. The remarkable thing is that distance plays almost no role. You can get out in less than a minute. And this despite the fact that in the passage of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor you are given three minutes to complete the task.

8. Outcasts

Now the moment has come when we need to go to the former deserter we freed. Just go to the cave that is marked on the map to talk to Hirgon. He will ask you to help him free his friends from captivity, whom the orcs are holding in cages. First, follow him, listening to his heart-warming story. When you reach the first camp, kill all the orcs there, go to the spirit world and from there find three flowers that need to be collected. Have you collected it? Go ahead. The second logger, where there are a little more orcs. Kill them too and collect more flowers. In third place - similarly.

When the flowers are collected, the poison will be ready and you can go to Uruchy Log to continue the passage of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. There's already a drinking party going on there, so let's get to the grog pots and poison them. There are five boilers in total, and it’s dark outside, so you can walk through everything quietly and calmly without attracting attention. Once you poison all the cauldrons and kill five orcs, the task can be considered completed. Just don't get caught by anyone, otherwise you'll have to start over!

9. Black Monument

So, it's worth continuing to cooperate with Hirgon, especially since he offers a really worthwhile deal! You help him get a cart with grog, and he makes explosives in order to blow up the statue of the dark lord. The attention of one of Sauron's henchmen will definitely be attracted, so you cannot, under no circumstances refuse this offer. However, you still won’t have a choice, because you want to beat the game :)

The idea is to first give the cart being pushed by Hirgon's friends a free passage. To do this, move ahead and cut out one camp after another. It’s better to do it secretly - as always, it turns out faster and more interesting. Once you have completely cleared the path, you can begin the main stage. Here you will push the cart towards the statue, simultaneously fighting off crowds of orcs. If you love onions, then this is complete freedom for you. Everything is literally strewn with elven arrows. Shoot several times the archers who attack the cart. Strangely, the cart has a health jackal that cannot be allowed to be reduced to zero. So just push the cart to the place and wait for the explosion, which will lead to the continuation of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

10. Black Warlord

Great, now you've managed to attract the attention of the Hammer of Sauron - something similar to a Nazgul, but, in my opinion, a little more frail. This is a man who wields a two-handed hammer. As soon as you decide to take on the task, you need to be ready to fight with this very Hammer and hordes of orcs. Unfortunately, you won't be able to act secretly here. You will have to use a direct collision, so make sure that all the necessary runes are applied to your sword, and that all the melee skills that you use have also been learned.

Pay attention to the map. See the green area? You cannot leave it, or it will be counted as a defeat. The hammer itself is not susceptible to fire, so you will have to kill it manually. I personally found it great to be able to gain combo points on orcs and use execution (F) on the Hammer itself. They had to execute him four times before he fell. Don't forget to use the spacebar and right mouse button! Thanks to them, you can get out of the water almost unscathed. Unless, of course, you allow yourself to be completely surrounded. And dodge the waves that Sauron's Hammer launches! They could take off almost half your health! But now the boss has fallen and we will watch the next video and go to a new location in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

Introduction

Shadow of Mordor is a third-person, open-world game set in Middle-earth (The Lord of the Rings franchise). You play as a ranger, who is helped by an elf ghost in battle and gives advice.

	Iron of Death / Iron Death	10
	Threaten an enemy with death and then kill him.
First, you need to progress far in the story until the fourth tier of abilities in the Pathfinder skill tree is unlocked. After this, upgrade the “Threat of Death” skill, look for a captain or leader and use this ability. But know that Death Threat will increase the level of your target and they will be better protected. Now you need to come to your target and kill him. The threat of Death greatly increases the chance of receiving a rune from legendary leaders and increases the chance of receiving it from captains by 40%. You can watch the video guide.

After successfully completing the mission and helping the captain recruit, kill him and all the recruits to unlock the achievement. You can watch the video guide.
	Black Celebration / Unforgettable holiday	15
	Poison the captain at the feast he hosted.
You need to progress through the story and unlock the Poison skill. As for the holidays, they can be seen while completing side missions in the struggle for power. If you walked around the map several times and did not see the holiday, then go to the Tower and rewind time. During this time, a holiday may appear. Once you find a holiday, head there and start the mission. You need to locate the swill in this area. The captains at the festival move from one grog drink to another. So you will need to poison the swill and wait for the Captain to drink from it. All this must be done quietly. Otherwise, a fight will break out and the captain will never drink the swill, and we will have to retreat in shame.
	Stinking Rebels	20
	Brand 5 bodyguards of one leader and order them to turn their weapons against their owner.
You must have the ability to subdue and command the Uruks. These abilities are unlocked as you progress through the story. Now we hunt down five captains and subjugate them to ourselves. After this, for each of the five captains we go through tasks to fight for power. After completing all the missions, go to the “Army of Sauron” tab and select the leader you need as a target; our five captains will serve as his bodyguards. We go to the leader and start fighting with him. In battle, order your captains to attack the leader and enjoy the achievement. You can watch the video guide.
	A Graug's Heel / Graug's Heel	10
	Take advantage of the leader's fears.
Like any enemy in the game, the Leader has advantages and disadvantages. We have three ways to find out the enemy's weaknesses. The first is to collect documents that may be in the Uruk fortresses and learn from them all the information about the enemy. The second is to interrogate Tongue and find out from him all the information about the enemy. The third is to interrogate the Captain and find out from him all the information about the enemy. Documents and Language are shown with a green triangular icon on the map. Weaknesses vary: from vulnerability to fire to fear of Caragors. Use the leader's fear on him (the game will notify you about the successful use of the vulnerability), and then kill him. The achievement is yours.

	Brand all five leaders.
Story achievement, obtained as you progress through the story.
	Power Vacuum / Power Crisis	10
	Kill all five leaders before any Uruk takes the vacant position.
The easiest method is to advance through the story and discover leaders as enemies. Kill five leaders at once (you'll have to wander around the map and look for leaders) and you'll get the achievement. The main thing is not to die or rewind time while completing this achievement, otherwise one of the dead leaders will be replaced by one of the captains and you will have to start over.
	Rise and Fall / Rise and Fall	20
	When the Uruk who killed you becomes a captain, help him become a leader, and then kill him.
First you need to get the Brand ability. How did you get this ability, let any random Uruk kill you. After your death, this Uruk will become a captain. Now you need to find him by exploring the regions of Mordor. Once you find it, loosen it and brand it. Now promote him to Chieftaincy through power struggles. First, make him the bodyguard of one of the leaders, and then kill all the bodyguards that the leader and the leader himself have. If he remains the only bodyguard after the leader's death, then he can take his place. If you have the “Massacre” skill, then use it and the branded Leader will die, and you will receive the achievement. If you don’t have such a skill, then don’t worry. He won't attack you anyway, so you can just beat him to death.

In order to purchase additional slots for runes, you will have to spend the local currency - Mirian. Please note that further rune slots increase in price, so save up and spend wisely. Mirians can be obtained by completing side quests and collecting items in Mordor.
	A Mighty Doom / Fatal Power	10
	Get a level 25 rune.
We are looking for a leader with a power level of 20 with fears. We find him and die by his hand. We return and scare him with our return. Run faster, otherwise he may hide. After that we brand and kill. As a result, we get the rune we need: 20 leader’s strength + 2 for killing the leader + 1 for revenge + 1 for fear + 1 for weakness (brand) = 25 rune level.
	Memories of Eregion / Memories of Eregion	20
	Activate all forge towers.
The Forge Tower fully opens up your view to find collectibles, allows you to rewind time or fast travel. So I advise you to activate it as soon as you find yourself in a region without an activated tower. After activating all the Towers you will receive the achievement.
