I may not be a fan of microtransactions and the abuse of cash shop DLC, but the backstory of Celebrimbor in The Bright Lord expansion sounds like a great way to wrap up the story of Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. All of this is so that players will have both a challenge and an opportunity to partake in an epic battle against the lord of Mordor, Sauron himself. Runes have been amped up to reach level 30 and weapon upgrades have been buffed up. And the team has also overhauled the animation system for Celebrimbor to better reflect his Elven heritage.Ĭelebrimbor is faster and more powerful than Talion. Archery is explained as being more like a “shooter game”, though I take it that it means you'll be able to fire off bows in rapid succession like Legolas from the Lord of the Rings movies. For this the team had to revamp some of the standard moves and abilities from Shadow of Mordor. We were able to go back and forge the Orcs into this more disciplined and elite war machine."īut a more “elite war machine” in the form of the battle-hardened Orcs also requires an equally elite player-character. It's all pretty much in chaos, Orcs are running around rioting, it’s very untamed. Hirgon and his Outcasts need time to plan their next move, so we might as well find this Creature in the. These runes can be obtained by vanquishing Nemeses. " has enabled us to go into Mordor at a time when Sauron’s power was at its height,". Runes are items in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor that add powerful buffs to the three main weapons, Azkâr, Acharn, and Urfael. It's explained that instead of just taking out a squad commander and seeing the Orcs flee in disarray or attack one another, they'll stick together and manage an attack against the player in a determined, organized force. The Nemesis factor isn't necessarily being overhauled but it is getting a moderate boost so that Orcs are stronger, tougher and more focused than ever before. What's more is that the development team at Monolith are ramping up Shadow of Mordor's difficulty and enemy A.I. In the new DLC we get to better understand how the fight went down between Celebrimbor and Sauron, and the best part about it is that players will actually get to participate in the fight. In the original Shadow of Mordor it was more about the bond between Talion and Celebrimbor and finding out more about the latter's past and how the bond came to be. What's interesting is that is that the new DLC will stray from Talion and focus more on Celebrimbor. We're excited to go back and play with that and explore Celebrimbor and Sauron's relationship more." Fighting a Caragor head on is ill-advised, so be ready to dodge and follow up with a quick strike or two."The big revelations we focused on in Shadow of Mordor were Celebrimbor’s backstory and his involvement in forging of the Rings of Power, connected to the fact he’d been dragged back to Mordor to forge the One Ring and that Sauron used Celebrimbor's Elven craft to give the Ring its power,""And it's like Tolkien wrote: 'The Ring did something it's master did not intend.' We looked at that idea and how the One Ring had these two parents, this conflict going on within it, within the flashbacks in Shadow of Mordor as you recovered Celebrimbor's memory.

If you see the indicator for an enemy shooting at you, tap the dodge button to roll out of the way and keep fighting.Īs you defeat them, another Caragor will leap into the frenzy, and you can either let the hunters go at him or take it on yourself. As you do, a hunting party of Uruks will converge on your position, so defeat them as well, while watching for spears tossed your way. Quickly pull out your bow and shoot it in the face to eliminate, and head outside. As the vision ends, Talion will notice the creature escaping, as a Caragor arrives to greet you.Ĭaragors are incredibly nasty lion-like beasts that roam Mordor. Go inside the castle for a lengthy, spoilerific cutscene. Head inside the stronghold and climb up to the bridge. Bash away at the nemesis, pushing him away from the main fight, and take him down. Touching the artifact will show a vision of the Wraith's past, and give Talion quite a shock. Just jump right in the middle of them, combo away, and try to single out the nemesis. You can either avoid them, or get some intel on them by interrogating Uruks marked in green before fighting them.Įventually the tracks will lead into a cave where Talion will find an ancient artifact. There is the off-chance that you may run into an Uruk Captain or two while following the path, so be on the lookout for Uruks marked in red while in the Wraith world. Note that you don't have to remain in the Wraith world to follow the tracks, but it is helpful if you get caught up in fighting the Uruks and lose your way.
