Thank you! This was extremely helpful. I haven't played in over a year and needed a tiny reminder of the mechanics and some tricks. Much appreciated! ^_^
Except it's Monolth's first game based on Middle-earth and they already nailed the combat, something AC is struggling to this day to do right. It's miles ahead of AC in this - most entertaining - regard.
I was yelling at people saying the way you move and fight is like assassins creed. Well now that i got my hands on the game love it but yeah the way you move is more or less assassins creed.
NeOmega Well yes, that's why I said it's one of the best. It's basically Assassins Creed that has Batman Arkham series combat with some more abilities and the game actually focuses on assassinating orc unlinearly (you set your own targets, different orcs each time you play, you can even manipulate it). It's a fun game, but you can't deny that it borrowed shitton from AC/Batman games.
Thanks for the guide! Can't believe how ungrateful, spiteful and down right ignorant some people are in the comments - they think just because THEY don't need or want a guide that other people shouldn't need one! Maybe some people like the game and just need some tips/tricks and other might want to see what kind of game it is before buying or maybe some peeps are just completely stuck on it and need help (it's not like it's an easy game after all). If you don't like or appreciate something just move on instead of ruining it for everyone else and complaining sheesh! I found this guide helpful anyway so thanks!
Yep bro i played for 30 hours and 100% agree this ain't assasin's creed but yep this game make me feel sooo adventurous cause of it looking like an AC game but has a whole different fight chances a that prince of persia jump is sooo cool .. still playing this
It looks and runs great at 4k 60fps on ultra settings with HD texture pack installed on a modern PC. Only the cutscenes look a bit dated as a result of them being pre-rendered at 1080p. Strangely the second game (Shadow of War) doesnt look as good on similar settings or run anywhere near as well (animations are a lot jankier as well). Makes me wonder if they used a new Dev team/engine for it.
Rly helpful tips! However gr8 this game is, it can be confusing at first. There are many tasks available almost directly and it can be hard to choose the "easier" one for your current lvl
Been looking at this game lately and noticing that the environments look pretty lack luster in the gameplay footage. Can anyone comment on weather the scenery gets richer and more diverse, towns, taverns and such?
Its pretty like batman arkham city the map layout no towns or anything I have beat it. Took me two days and have about 60% complete on that grind but imagine if a polished assassin's creed had a baby with batman arkham games this is what youd get basically but what sets it apart is the nemesis system the AI is brillant and you never experience anything like it a game and itll keep you coming back for more just slaying war chiefs and captains and feeling the real connection between you and him is amazing
Thanks man. Hard to get a response that covers what im talking about. Although i know its predominantly set in Mordor the lands still has deep character that would be a shame not to flesh out.
This game isnt for the faint of heart it can be challenging. But me beung a seasoned video game Veteran Been 2 days and beat it with about 60% of the game complete on that grind!. Will go for full 100% Great game imagined if a polished assassin's creed game had a baby with batman arkham city and this is what youd get but the nemesis system is something unlike we have never seen before and will certainly pave the way going forward.
Thanks for making this video i was playing the game yesterday nite and i find to kill the captain so hard i always get out numbed Thanks for explaining the things out.
Watch The Media Cows walkthrough, it helped me so much, I'm now a master at this game and recently completed the game a fourth time and didn't die once. 👊🏻
How do runes work? I know you get them by defeating captains but you get a rune depending on the weapon you use to deal the final blow? For example if you kill a captain with a dagger you get a dagger rune?
this is a good question. im not sure exactly. i almost want to say its random. its just that they are better based on how much harder the boss is your going for.
Hey yes you are right the final blow is what it counts for your weapon runes ( i think). But what kind of runes you get for that weapon rune are random =) So if you kill with sword you get sword rune but with random stats, if you kill with arrow you get arrow rune but with random stats and so on.
Not the final blow, i've found out. But if, say, a captain is vulnerable to stealth attacks and you use at least one stealth attack on him, even if he doesn't die from it, you'll get a dagger rune. And so on. Basically, you get runes from exploring captain's weaknesses.
I had to restart because I ended up with a warchief who had no weaknesses, and had so many bodyguards, that by the time I had killed one of them, he had recruited another.
huh. i ahve been rushing into the hordes from day one and had no problem so far. maybe because i am used to this kind of combat. it really is just about reaction time and letting them NOT surround you.
i legit just downloaded this game again since i want to have my nostalgic things and then i underestimated the enemy(i mean i do that in assassins creed) and i died and the one eyed crossbow uruk level up :)
I learned early that if I get the Detonate ability I can shoot at exploding stuff (barrels, fire pits) and kill many orcs at once when they are huddled together around fire in their camping/picnic state of mind. LOL Just wait for most of them to come near the fire.
Thank you Chris, those was some useful mordorie tricks. Think you can do a bit of a gun show on this though?.. You know.. based on swords and bows and daggers and Wreithiness and what not..
I bought the game yesterday but it says I requier to install another comtent to plats it, I can only play it in the beginnig ontill the character becommes a ghost and then it says I need to install something else, but what?
I've been thinking about getting a controller for this game because it's so odd with the keyboard. I've been trying to find anywhey on how to map the keyboard controls in the settings but I really would like to know if a controller would even be worth it.
Awesome tips. I just wish the action button didn't do everything because sometimes you're all over the place just trying to do something simple if you're fighting near walls
When I was watching gameplay there were only heads cutting off in slow motion. Now I have the game and I can just rush them. I have to unlock the runes to get those combos??
I know this is an old game but i just started playing the game And im already having difficulty with interrogating bosses in The biggining of The story plus its so hard And it wont let you practice your skills
I just got an Xbox one s (4 months ago) and it came with this game on disc. I had to start over after watching this video because so many orcs got promoted cause of me. Jesus I was so bad lol
this game is freaky. i always end up meetin a damn captain that survived me killing him. and they are like gollum always waiting in the shadows to come out and kill you xD
It’s like it tries to be a sorta dark souls, but it just over complicated things for literally no reason, i beat sekiro with backwards controls but my ape brain can’t beat quick time events when they’re based on hopeful chance that you mashed the right buttons.
Before you start an open fight, thin out the ranks by stealth killing as many Uruk as you can. Next, read the captains strengths and weaknesses and attempt to start a fight in a way that lets you exploit as many of them as possible. Start the fight by using something that will cause chaos, like exploding a campfire or dropping the bee things on them. When the fight starts try to kill off the lower Uruk by building combo and using finishers. You can also use some effects to scare Uruk away. Hopefully you can get the captain alone, or burst him down using a weakness or two.
I have now entered my 16 HOUR of this game.... I can't do it anymore I have slept haha but seriously I have done all this tryed different tactics each time when im in fights and always the same outcome... Death :'(
Shadow of Mordor is excellent & brutal, it's not perfect in every way, but it's fucking awesome & definitely a great badass game!! Don't listen to the cry baby stupid heads complaining about things being to hard or inconvenient waaahhh the bad men hurt me in the butt wah wah! This game is solid & freaking rules!!!!
This game is very interesting in the beginning but some what in the middle it turns liitle bit boring and complicated, its gameplay is simlar to batman arkham and assassin's creed but this game more difficult than these...
You can never make pll happy. Omg is so hard I uninstalled it or Omg it's too easy I wish they would make it more challenging. It's always Sth. I really like the game and the fact that u can't just run In there and button mash to complete a mission is great.
In my first half hour of this game I swear I promoted more uruks than Sauron himself. Hopefully I'm less of a clutz as things progress.
LMAO!!!
😂
@@ramutiwari8088 yes you can ;)
Seriously, 5 captains show up any time I challenge one of them, and then of course they kill me.
Hahaha same mate. That's why I'm here
Thank you! This was extremely helpful. I haven't played in over a year and needed a tiny reminder of the mechanics and some tricks. Much appreciated! ^_^
Getting ready to install and play for the first time. Thanks for the beginners pointers.
One of the best Assassins Creed games, good stuff.
Ruairi Hanratty He has a really good point?

LOL! I thougt this game was easy until I got overwhelmedd by an army of Uruks with a series of captains coming to me one-by-one.
glad to see a game that's not been over hyped, turns out to be good. gonna go buy my copy today after work ;)
Did you buy it?
@@fuhrervader94 we will never know
I hope you enjoyed it! Update us pls!!
@@ALIAlakber I did and it was awesome
I’m finally playing it like 10 years after release haha, it’s pretty good lol
Playing this game for the first time in 2019 and yes I got my ass handed to me early on many times
Ye just tried it for the first time, died instantly like 3 times and then stuck largely to stealth
😂
Ssme

still cant believe that this game turned out this gooooood
first exp on this game....
Failed at stealth, 1 ran off and came back with a captain, somehow 5 other came out of nowhere and wreck my ass big time
😂
haha Mosh Pit comment about elbows and Doc Martins, I chuckled. Reminds me of Lalapalooza late 1990's
Looks like the nemesis system wasn't a gimmick after all.
Distract and Attract are very useful, especially early on when you don't have a lot of abilities.
Thank You I just started this game and I am really struggling. so this video was perfect for me.
Rly helpful tips! However gr8 this game is, it can be confusing at first. There are many tasks available almost directly and it can be hard to choose the "easier" one for your current lvl
Thanks for this very helpful tips. I'm planning to play this game again from the beginning and my old playthrough was not very successful at all.
It’s 2022 and I’ve just started this game for the first time ever and finding it a challenge
Still 2 days until release here in the UK, can't wait!
Also, run around and pick up all the relics and Ithildin you can find. All of them. It'll get you a great boost early on.
Been looking at this game lately and noticing that the environments look pretty lack luster in the gameplay footage. Can anyone comment on weather the scenery gets richer and more diverse, towns, taverns and such?
It's Mordor, so not really.

Without spoiling, I will say the second map of the game is much more lush and pretty.
Thanks man. Hard to get a response that covers what im talking about. Although i know its predominantly set in Mordor the lands still has deep character that would be a shame not to flesh out.
Thanks Chris that was very helpful:)
I just started playing this about a week ago and I keep dying

When you said Ezio Auditore de firenze I was not expecting Assassin's creed reference
Thank you...started playing in 2020.
this looks incredible.
Thanks for making this video i was playing the game yesterday nite and i find to kill the captain so hard i always get out numbed Thanks for explaining the things out.
This game really suprised me with the combat and thx for the tips
I dont think ive ever played a game that makes me rage as much as this game. Bout to quit
Watch The Media Cows walkthrough, it helped me so much, I'm now a master at this game and recently completed the game a fourth time and didn't die once. 👊🏻
thx just started it helped me out a lot
Wraith flash effect and area increasing the higher your hit streak is. I use daggers to get my hit streak up then hit wraith flash. Rinse repeat.
awesome video!! Thanks a lot for your tips

LipeM07 but ive killed random captains and gotten runes out of them.
PS five store had a deal on both games for a lower than $15 so thank you for this
Just started this game and it’s awesome but the bosses (strong guys?) are insanely hand because they bring in a shit ton of other orc’s
koth try cutting of one of his hands that will make them less hands.
koth bit too answer your question git gud.

even the basic orcs shit on you and if they gain notoriety, they become much more brazen and difficult. A true masterpiece game. Thanks for the tips!
When he said don’t play like your ezio in assassins creed I thought he was about to say don’t play stealthy.
I bought the game yesterday but it says I requier to install another comtent to plats it, I can only play it in the beginnig ontill the character becommes a ghost and then it says I need to install something else, but what?

How do you jump in this game? I don't see it anywhere in the options?????
Just got this game. Started out on nemesis difficulty. I have died a lot lmao. Maybe down to normal difficulty and watch some guides
Do you need a constant internet connection to play this game on any either xbone, ps4 or pc?
When I was watching gameplay there were only heads cutting off in slow motion. Now I have the game and I can just rush them. I have to unlock the runes to get those combos??
Thanks for the vid
Starting today after putting this game off for a couple of years. Wish me luck
I see Batman Arkham franchise all over it... with the touch of AC of course, still good and unique features.
looks very nice, like little bit of arkham series
I know this is an old game but i just started playing the game And im already having difficulty with interrogating bosses in The biggining of The story plus its so hard And it wont let you practice your skills
I just got an Xbox one s (4 months ago) and it came with this game on disc. I had to start over after watching this video because so many orcs got promoted cause of me. Jesus I was so bad lol
Handy, thanks!
Is this game worth getting? Or should I wait for something else?
It felt like playing dark souls for the first time again.... Thanks for the tips though i'll give this game another shot after my ragequit :p
Dont play it like ezio auditore la firenze 😂😂 killed me lol
"Ezio Auditore Da Firenze" 😂
anyways happy new year...yeah im kinda late playing this game i just got my first pc
this game is freaky. i always end up meetin a damn captain that survived me killing him. and they are like gollum always waiting in the shadows to come out and kill you xD
Thank you! I felt pretty helpless starting out in this game.
Well, there goes. I just kept killing, and they kept on coming...
It’s like it tries to be a sorta dark souls, but it just over complicated things for literally no reason, i beat sekiro with backwards controls but my ape brain can’t beat quick time events when they’re based on hopeful chance that you mashed the right buttons.
Hahahah first minute of this video…. Yup that’s exactly why I’m here lol
Yea i've died like 20+ times I think so far shits frustrating a fuck but a pretty fun game when you're not geting ownd
Well...while downloading the 34G, Might as well watch this...
Please help me world can i play shadows of mordor offline without internet
yes
GAME OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!! A GOOD LOTR GAME !!!!!!!!!
I swear I was able to get 5 capitains in the same fight.
Can anyone give me any tips on how to isolate captains? I need to isolate them but always die cause 50+ orcs come after me...
I've never played the game, but from what I can tell you're supposed to stealth kill the minions first and then go after the chief.
*Captain*
It doesn't work that way, once you attack the captain, minions or not, dozens of orcs come from every direction.
Before you start an open fight, thin out the ranks by stealth killing as many Uruk as you can. Next, read the captains strengths and weaknesses and attempt to start a fight in a way that lets you exploit as many of them as possible. Start the fight by using something that will cause chaos, like exploding a campfire or dropping the bee things on them. When the fight starts try to kill off the lower Uruk by building combo and using finishers. You can also use some effects to scare Uruk away. Hopefully you can get the captain alone, or burst him down using a weakness or two.
Stiverton thank you for your reply. I actually ended up figuring that out, after dying a few dozens of times :)
Thx
So i have played for few hours and now all of the captain have like 20 power points , fuck it, i jut gonna restart
Epic soundtract
It's weird that I like this game but I didn't enjoy or finish arkham city or assassins creed.
Why am I not playing this?
I find the control system
lol he killed a branded uruk at the end.....
1:08
