The question is, will you have the heart to murder the Orc you raised to maturity as if he were your own son? Achievement junkies: don't answer that. Then, after hours of effort, all that's left to do is snuff out the Uruk that you worked so hard to develop. Once he's leveled up enough times, you can ensure he gets that promotion by killing one of his Warchief superiors. I know Talion has some vengeful impulses, but damn.Įven though you're a kill-on-sight target, you can still help out your mark by meddling in Power Struggles: events that increase an Uruk's standing in Sauron's Army. It's your job to ensure they get there and -once they do-kill them.
Here's how it works: every time a random Orc lands the killing blow on you, they're instantly promoted to the rank of Captain, with the promise that they might one day become a Warchief. This one could be (and often is) the basis for some games' entire plotline but-by Shadow of Mordor's high standards-it's merely an achievement. Or whatever the archer equivalent of that is. Pull it off, and you'll feel like an Old West gunslinger who just shot the wings off a horsefly. Thing is, Focus doesn't last forever, and sniping a mid-flight bat becomes insanely difficult when you're aiming in real-time.
This is made easier by the Wraith's supernatural Focus ability which slows down time, letting you line up precision shots even on a moving target. One of the earlier assignments asks you to shoot some flying creatures, like the bats that occupy Mordor's many caves. But here's a challenge the game won't ask of you (not directly, anyway). These start out pretty tame, with you letting loose arrows at hideously giant spiders, though they can get pretty intense, like when you have to well, I won't spoil the surprise. When you're looking for a distraction from murdering entire brigades of Orcs, Talion can get back in touch with his Ranger training and seek out certain targets for hunting side-missions.
