Middle-earth: Shadow of War is an upcoming action role-playing video game developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It is the sequel to 2014's Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and scheduled to be released worldwide on October 10, 2017 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Shadow of War continues the previous game's narrative, based on J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium with events occurring between those of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Like its predecessor, the game also takes heavy inspiration from director Peter Jackson's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings film adaptations. The player continues the story of the ranger Talion who shares his body with the spirit of the elf lord Celebrimbor, as they use one of the Rings of Power to amass an army to fight against Sauron and his Nazgûl forces. The game builds upon the Nemesis system introduced in Shadow of Mordor, allowing Talion to gain Followers from several races of Middle-earth including Uruk-Hai and Olog-hai and plan out complex strategies using these to complete missions.

A Guide dedicated to new Middle-earth: Shadow of War players. If you prefer to read, here is the full written version of the guide: vulkk.com/2017/10/28/shadow-of-war-guide-the-dos-and-donts-for-beginners/
personal tip post 9 month launch easy way to get legendary armor(cheap and rather cruel in some terms) is beat all the chapters, save up 20k miriam and spend on a legend upgrade for a captain that drops the armor you want and equip on a captain that would be expendable to u, and here comes the less then stellar part kill said captain. sure its mean but automatic legendary plus a chance he comes back so there's that.
I recruited a dark tribe assassin, and equipped him with a poison dagger and a caragor mount. He is a rare only, but he us destroying epic captains 3 levels higher than him. I also have a olog-hai and a couple others reinforce him.
this game got way better 9 months after release. They fixed just about all issues critics had with the game at launch.
the store is still there in a way, but the micro transactions are gone, you can still get a few things with miriam, but its no were near as bad as it was before
Yeah they removed the microtransactions because the poor bitches were crying too much
@@tavotwo yeah do people like me who work 75 hours week can't get a Co boost or skins because broke butches keep crying
@@henryhaynes9635 issue is the game felt nearly garbage without microtransactions, and games should be the full game without more purchases needed. Should've had a way in game to get that xp boost
@@henryhaynes9635 yeah I bought some EXP boosts to get through levels 45-60. I just felt like it was a great game but I didn't want to dedicate my whole life to it.
"There will be no spoilers"
*Immediately proceeds to show exclusively gameplay of the dark ranger* smh
@@spaghettiballs6866 dark talion is in the shadow of war as a character
I'm surprised you didn't see dark Tallion with all the trailers and fan made hype videos
In the original trailers, Dark Talion looks like he his only in a vision, not as a playable character
Also, too find out his true fate.
WOW SO HE DIES THANK YOU.
Good tips. I just started today, and only used mirian to unlock gem slots. The best part of the game so far is when you think you're about to take out one tough captain and then another tougher captain shows up - and possibly another one on top of that. The first time I died, an orc named "Dush" killed me, and then the douche starts running his mouth.
i have a question. You can never empty the map from captaiins right ? When I eliminate one, after some time its replaced
@@theoribanier2371 dominate them all
yes
Bitch killed me too and started to blab his mouth soooo.....
i took it personal and now dush has no longer have a head
You happen to remember if you unlock a dagger gem slot can you add a gem to all daggers or is it 1000 to add a gem slot to each dagger
One of the most useful and complete guides for noobs in the game, amazing job
Thank you! :)
Vulkk thanks for the tips I became an highly skilled player because of you playing on gravewalker now.
Great guide man got the game like 5 years late and just wanted some quick tips and thats actually what this is not like other peoples thanks man
I always watch tip videos before I start a new game, and I must say, this was one of the best. This video was very well thought out. The tips are all very helpful and insightful, whereas most tip videos have some "tips" that are obvious like "don't forget to save!" Or something about combat that the game already tells you how to do.
Thank you for the quality content. I don't get much time to game anymore, so stuff like this that helps me make the most of my games really means a lot to me. I hope you keep growing. You deserve to be able to continue doing this for a living.
The best tip i can think of....poison the grog then take up a vantage point, then smoke the rest of your weed. The orcs, trolls, n captains will do the rest.
Nice ^^
💯
Except they just respawn anyways so it does nothing important.
How do you poison Grog? i mean i am a Doob, but all i can do i grab the poison, but after that dont give tips on Releasing it or Throwing it at ur Enemies, any tips ? TY in advance.
@@ThisOLmaan might be late on this but, just hit R1 or RB on the grog barrels that the Uruks drink out of.
While beginning I fought this terrifying looking orc and I was scared to get close to him. I got his health down and I wanted to try out that fire move with the bow and arrow. He burned to death.
Later on I decided to hunt down an orc outside the city walls but guess who was waiting for me. The same ORC! Half of his body was scorched! Sad thing is he was surprisingly weaker than he was and I was able to kill him easily. But I was so shocked how intelligent this game was. Currently I keep getting found by an orc that won’t stop cheating death.
The Nemesis system is fucking awesome dude
One time I killed a guy with fire, but he came back WAY stronger, and he became legendary! He wrecked me first time I refought him, but then I killed him.
I had an orc who cheated death 5 time and each time he looked more and more destroyed while being more strong
I'm dealing with this badass orc who has cheated death like 7 times now and won't shut up about "spreading pestelince"
@@PaperEater_ 😂😂😂
This game is a masterpiece. I have hundreds of hours into it. Been lvl 80 for ever. Talion is rediculously powerful. It is a blast
I am level 46 and I have this fortress with like level 40 orcs but they aren’t legendary or epic just regular. I can’t for the life of me get higher ones or find better ones. I feel stuck and getting money is so hard it feels like. Literally beat the game and have all fortresses but I have less then 1,000 coins or what ever they are called. I feel like restarting and saving my money. I feel lost. Ontop of all of that it’s so slow to level up.
@@christianking7342
My advice for levels are to forge better wealth gems. You can get like up to a 15% xp boost. As for the money, try challenges and pit fights. One time reward in the pit fight awarded me like 4000 for my Uruks win. Save up your gear and destroy them for that extra money too
Does the difficulty affect the XP Gain ? Just wondering, thanks in advance ! :)
@@christianking7342 oh yeh you need money to upgrade them lol
I 100% the game in 92 hours, about 3.5 days, proud of that achievement lol
Edit:
Many thanks for the likes :)
I got 28 hours in I've had the game for a while but only getting into the game now...
I have 390 hours on one account
@OG_Dacs I do
20% in 10 hours
@OG_Dacs I knew I was no one, I just knew it
oh that game is one of my favorites, I played the last title: shadow of mordor, and I enjoyed it A LOT!
I have spent over 50 hours playing it and it was just so immersive, it had a unique characteristic, some times you find yourself the one who knocks, and other times you are surrounded by 30 orcs including archers and you get crushed but you some how manages to save your life and escape this horrible situation, you will do missions in the land of the evil using stealth and deceit, but if you got caught, then you will be in your own, oh that game brings me a hell lots of memories
I heard it was reballanced later on because of mtx, glad i waited!
As a beginner doing the brutality mode I can say I think i have already experienced the best of the nemesis system, even though I haven't beaten my first fortress. I've gotten alot of ugly spear guys being promoted to captain since I started.
Try picking off orc war chiefs to make fortress taking easier. To make the easier dominate the war chiefs body guards and make them become spies and you should get the rest on as you play
@@eternallight9559 don't worry I an now lvl 40. I am actually pretty good.The first place took a while but I got through it. Now I am wrecking everywhere. I'll admit the spear guys can still 4 shot me though.
@@chosen3713 I try to stay uncrowded. They can do a lot of damage when your surrounded. Anyway good to know that you're improving because for some people this is quite difficult on nemesis difficulty or harder. I'm trying to dominate all the legendaries I can so when I'm a high level I can kill them and enjoy the rewards
@@chosen3713 also I really just find the beserkers a problem sometimes. Otherwise I'm an unstoppable force that can't be reckoned with. Every uruk and olog will quake as they see me. I AM THE BRIGHT LOOOOORRD
Getting hit by every guy the last dude spear dude stealing someones kill " how could I have done this by my self 🤭hmmmmmm"
First time I played SoW, very early on, I got an undying orc. An excellent rival. After he came back the 3rd time, I was actually pissed and made it my mission to kill him once and for all. I finally killed him after relentlessly hunting him over and over. I couldn't even tell you how many times he came back. I remember that when he died I exploited something, that caused him to explode.
It's fucking weird. As soon as I learned the significance of the undying trait, I felt really bad about killing him. I never found another undying orc either.
Fr he always suddenly ambush you come out from nowhere
I’m experiencing the same thing haha this one orc has come back at least 4 times already
Idk if you're still playing this or not but this little bit of information may be helpful to you if you are. Once you die to the same orc multiple times it becomes more likely that that particular orc will cheat death multiple times as well. Just thought I'd let you know in case you wanted to give it a shot.
@@IanT372 yeah I've tried to manipulate it into happening again, but haven't been able to get it to work. I've been thinking about doing another playthrough lately, so I'll probably try again.
I came close the last time.
@@IanT372 I think I accidentally made the game bring back bruz. after his final mission, I immediately hunted him down and shamed him over and over. a few hours later, I came back and killed him. guess all the shamings were enough to make the game decide that his story didn't end with the killing. now he's back.
If your trying to get mirian fast then I suggest that you do the fight pits in act 2 when you own the fort and sell the gear you get from the pits
so i just bought the game and i love it it was just for 20€ for ps4. so basicly thank you for telling me not to spend it before act 4 and to worr about my gear i will get better ones in the future. i already unlocked 2doors sadly enough so that gear is useless. but i will have a great time and your tips helped also you did not say anny spoilers so good video
I just started this game a few hours ago. Can't wait to play it more
Concise, useful and perfect length. 👏
I have just started to play Shadow Of War 🙂. Thank you for this video and it was very helpful ;)
Thank you so much I really needed that I love ❤️ Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War I know it was made in 2017 but in my opinion it’s the best game I ever played and I still played it I used to be on level 80 I think but my old friend broke it so then I bought a new disc and now I’m on level 40 something!😃😆😁
I got the entire legendary vendetta set before even leaving Minas Ithil (Besides the rune, just got that today)
Don’t arrest me I didn’t mean to look that up😥
Thank you for this, i think i will do the same thing. I didnt know i could stay
Abuse the difficulty setting. Gain XP watching enemy captains kill each other.
A good one too!
Just got the game, how does this work?
What do you mean by this? I just got the game and it's been a little overwhelming. Are you saying set it on highest difficulty? And how do you get enemy captains to kill each other?
@@fangman21 step one, go to options and set difficulty to gravewalker.
Step two, start missions that have enemy captains dueling, raiding, execution each other.
Step 3, let them kill each other. Don't engage.
You will get Xp from missions.
Step 4. Rinse repeat = profit.
Tae Park damn
First tip above all, before you start...change sensitivity to something you're comfortable with.
Then change your analog dead zone (less bar is quicker reaction) is makes it so your character doesnt feel heavy, kind of like assassins creed heavy.
Thanks ! Hate how heavy Talion feels.
Thanks for the video man. I found your channel through the dos and donts you wrote up online
i know this game is pretty old but i just started playing it today and i’m hooked, so much fun
Great video. Thanks for making.
Just starting the game today! Thanks for the vid! :)
Wow, simply amazing tips... :)
Thanks ^^
Greetings from the US Volkk! Thank you for the video!
Loved the first one, so giving this a go. Great vid mate! Liked and subscribed 😊
Great vid, two thumbs up! You have my sub, Greetz, Dutch guy living in Bulgaria.
Welcome to my channel, Jeffrey. How long have you been living in Bulgaria?
Just about 3 years now, still love it!
I got this game yesterday and immediately just started hunting orc captains. Time to do the story 😅
Same😂😂
Same... Lvl.3 trying to beat sone lvl.12 commander 😅
lol me too they put so much emphasis on the orc captains, that’s what I thought I was supposed to be doing🤣I died like 3 times. It had me wondering if this game is for me but I’m loving it so far.
I'm a bit late but I just wanted to say that I've never played any middle earth games before but when I bought Shadow Of War, I immediately started with Gravewalker difficulty. Died a few times at the start, but once I got the hang of the nemesis and combat system, I completely wrecked every orc and by the time I was level 40, I was still in act 1, in Minas Ithil because I didn't do anything with the quests as I was confused as to what I had to do so I just kinda killed every orc Captain I found lol
Nice guide dude thnx!
Jeez I must have been a true badass because I'm getting my balls smashed in the "hold the gate" mission. I've died more times here on this mission on nemesis then I've died in the entire game total.
been watching people on youtube play this game for a year looks really fun i got high hopes for it .
Severed an orcs arm, he came back with a rock and metal one calling himself "the machine", killed him by cutting him in half (like Darth maul) he came back again, with more metal and rock, I'm not even mad, I'm just sad for him
Still helpful, thanks!
I got this game a while ago from the PS Plus subscription and I’ve been playing it like crazy it’s pretty good and there’s a crap ton of thing to do so it’s kinda hard to get bored.
But anyways good vid!
really helped thanks so much
Thank you very much! I just picked this game up for under 6 dollars and I love it. I played Shadow of Mordor back then but not this one. There's is much great stuff in the Nemesis system and it's a shame that the game initially suffered under microtransaction bullshit, but they have removed that now. The only in-game currency is "Mirian" now and you earn that through playing. I think this iteration is as close to how the game should have been back then.
Евала !
Много хубави препоръки !
On level 35 with talion .. I just got started with the game really. If you like LOTR story style you will love this game.. You fight immersive characters orcs trolls bulrogs Wraiths Dragons drakes charagors -orc dogs .. The story is amazing well done so far very true to the Peter Jackson universe .. Its assassins creed with the powers of a immortal elf and one of the rings of power .. Still a great game as of Feb 2023 even my wife likes to watch it!!!
Man that is one hell of an accent!
Great video, learned a few things!
Thanks :)))
Thank you for the guide
Man I feel so lost .I just started . Its a bit overwhelming not having my hand held but I like it.
Side note I picked nemesis so its not easy either
they're getting rid of the loot boxes anyway.
Yes, they are. Unfortunately I can't edit the video now :)))
Including the regular currency one?
Mirian is still here and easier to get, also more useful.
Just bought Shadow of War on PS4 due to it having a huge discount (huge for the PSN Store!) and now only being £15.99.
I played Shadow of Mordor and really enjoyed it, so now I can crack on with this interesting sequel.
WU same here! It was even cheaper on the ps store here in the US, got it for 12$
Great advice. Sadly I’ve been grinding for some time now and really didn’t need to. I’m just going to push through the game until I actually need to grind.
Nice job , thanks friend .
Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
Thx for the video!
Watched a video before basically with the same stuff u are saying and i couldn't follow it at all. But i watch your video and its... calming to watch and I easily understand. Wtf lol. Must be your beautiful voice. Cheers for the heads up about everything. Time to boot up this game and finally play
Just started putting in the time on this game. Also love this combat. Similar to AC and spiderman. Any other games have similar mechanics
I never understood why you can’t equip all the upgrades likeee WTF?!? Is the point of having them🤦♂️🙌thumbs up on the video
Does anyone know if there is a difference between the fortresses you conquer in single player versus online? Do they use the same orks or it's basically totally different?
Its been a year but yes they are different. Online sieges practically has player chosen overlords. Rather than randomly generated ones
great great video I appreciate it thanks.
I am playing it on the PlayStation 5, it is fun even 8 years or so later.
ya i got it on ps4 as well and there is no gold currency anymore or in game marketplace as far as i know but the game has been really fun
Replaying for the unth time, cant remember, should i play the DLC content 1st? Do they unlock the other orc tribes and gear/skill options? Or does it matter?
During a siege. I fought the overlord and recruited him. Which seemed to work. But when I checked my army he was no where to be seen... can I recruit enemy overlords? Or is this a horrible glitch?
If you get an option to recruit a defeated orc and don't get him after, this means that you must have done an Online Vendetta or in your case Online Siege. If it wasn't, then you got a nasty bug/glitch indeed.
I just picked this up on Steam, SoW and SoM both were bundled on sale 85% off so it was $10. After playing it for a half hour or so I have to say I'm glad I got it. But damn 100 g download is insane, I got two 1t hard drives so it wasn't a big deal but if you got a small hard drive or just SSD drives that have less space it could be a problem because that 100 g is just SoW not both games together
I'm a beginner and instantly chose brutal difficulty 😅 i died a lot learning the controls and now most the Captains are now over lvl 10 to 40 while I'm still at 3
Ride a Caragor then farm gems especially white ones by sneak mauling treasure orks.
Faster than foot, instant kills, and quick escape.
Lool i never played any of these games and i just started today. I automatically put it on gravewalker difficulty and ill be honest its a bit hard but anyone should beable to do it just fine.it will make easy and normal feel soo fun cuz u can just step om the dudes
4:54 does that mean I should save the Mirian by not purchasing any gem slots as well, or do the wealth gems offer enough advantages to justify the purchase, if you want to maximize Mirian?
started my third playthrough of the game two days ago on 'Gravewalker' difficulty...BLOOOOOODDDDDDY HEEEEEELLLL THAT SHIT IS HAAAAAARRRRRDDDDDDD!! but so SATISFYING as well!
Love the website for reading purposes
If you recruit a legendary orc will he still drop the legendary gear or you have to kill him for it to drop im confused
beginner using nemesis mode since i love a challenge but g damn, when theres 30+ orcs scrapping me & 3 captains plus a drake & some caragors, well then thats a party. promoted a few orcs already and im at 14 hrs gameplay lmfao. this game is amazing. get it.
And here I was doing online vendettas at level 15...
Rookie mistake
Don't hold on to Legendary and epic ork minions. You are missing out on the gear. Plus it seems to deal out a fixed amount of those ork types.
So question. I beat the game before completing the ancient war chief: tricky. Is there anyway I can actually complete that now?
They make really fun missions where you take over castles at least they would be if I didn’t take over all the warlords to disable everything
I can rush tho the end? There is not missable quest or items? I want to finish the main story and then go for the items and gear in all regions, and do the world quest.
He made nemesis sound hard. All it does is make orcs more adaptive
Get a marauder fortress, 3 mirian stashes will be placed inside automatically, next is the matter if you want to keep advancing day to get 150 mirian every A.D (i gave up after my beloved gambler died to overgrown cats)
I'm having a hard time with bruz because he keeps on spawning while I'm doing missions and he saying that to put one of your people as a warcheif bodyguard and then backstabbing them
Wow, simply amazing tips.
Do online raids for free dlc orcs you can recruit them and then they'll go into your garrison
Even if you fail the raid?
Thanks from Pittsburgh 🇺🇸 🕊️ 🇧🇬
Just downloaded the game and started a new game on brutal lol let’s go
Can you destroy those obelisk things the orcs pray to? I know you can destroy monuments with R1 (ps4) but I don't see a way to do those other smaller stones they worship...
Thanks i just got the game for free on ps plus.
The game is finally completed and now only cost me 9$ this is the way
Thank you for these useful tips, now time to fight
Thank you for the written guide as well, I always prefer those to videos. Subbed for excellence.
Thank you
1: Don't try to rush end Game or act 4
2:Strongly Suggest you to rush story missions
Dude... Am I missing something?
Rush story missions till your at the last one at gorgoroth (not gonna tell the name of the mission cuz spoilers)the game and some characters will Ask if your ready for it.
Then After that it the end game stuff,just don't rush end game that all
Side note if you do lose caption in spot. You colud get the same urk!. With same name!. Later one with better skills. My favorite urk is the singer shocked but he slays and has good enrages now. But in the beginning he was weak to so much.
anybody have a problem with death threat captains not dropping any gear but will drop gear without one
How are you playing a uncapped FPS version of this?
I only played like 10 hours of SOM few years back. I started on Nemesis difficulty on SOW and did just fine. I would have to recommend only playing on Nemesis and above so you can get the most out of the Nemesis System.
What is that system ? I'm played for 5 hours on normal and I don't see it
@@slim3710 the nemesis system is basically the captain system bro.
I can't seem to recruit level 55 or higher orcs for the daily challenge to get armor ..what am I doing wrong?
You have to be the same level as the orc
Thanks I figured it out
Anybody here 2022?
I'd buy all gem slots and upgrade wealth gems, those stay the same benefit throughout.
How do you get the market
I’m playing now and I’m finding it really hard it feels like I’m play hardcore and it seems like a really fun game but I just keep dying and it’s really annoying and making me not wanna play and I can’t find were to change the difficulty
What i‘ve done was rush to act 3 do the rest for 100%/platinum then done act 4
you can change your chosen skills?
