Before battling him, we’ll make sure we gain Intel to know his weaknesses by dominating a nearby Worm.

Let’s start with Borgu the Poisoner who is in the Seregost region. From here, you’ll see the enemy Orcs Captains who control the current region you’re in. The best place to start is through the Army option in the pause menu. If you played Shadow of Mordor, you’ll know the Nemesis System is the backbone for most of the conflict in-game. Pro tip: you don’t need to charge your shot to trigger these effects. While in ranged mode, destructible terrain features will glow a light blue. Lastly, don’t forget to use destructible terrain features! Grog barrels, beast bait, Morgai flies, ghul eggs and many other traps can be triggered to devastating effect by shooting them. Enemies can climb as well, though, so it’s a good idea to keep moving. And if the tide of battle turns against you, go vertical! Talion can climb nearly any surface or structure, removing himself from combat and buying time to heal or attack from a different position. Use stealth and ranged attacks to infiltrate and clear an area before facing a harder enemy. Skirmish - When larger enemies are around or even multiple Captains, facing everything head-on is not always the best approach.

Multiple counter prompts require multiple counters.įinishing - After an enemy has been hit repeatedly and knocked down, you can initiate a Ground Execution by crouching with R2/RB and pressing Square/X. Remember that you must press the counter button for each incoming attack. A counter prompt will appear above the head of each enemy about to attack you. It will also help prevent you from becoming overwhelmed. You’ll see a counter on screen to indicate your current hitstreak.ĭefending - When surrounded by multiple enemies, use counter to block their attacks, avoiding damage and ensuring your hitstreak remains unbroken. Successful attacks also fill your Might meter, which powers special attacks. Many Character and Gear abilities are triggered by high hitstreaks. Run: Hold Wraith Stun Drain / Dominate: HoldĪttacking - Chaining attacks together will start a hitstreak. By selecting START from the Main Menu you can access your main Talion Campaign story or any purchased Story Expansion content such as “Blade of Galadriel” or “Desolation of Mordor”.
