Shadow of mordor killing captains permanently series#

The game has you playing as Talion, something of a fantasy Border Patrol agent stationed at the Black Gate, the wall cutting Mordor from Gondor and keeping Orcs out of the wider world. Most of this has to do with the Nemesis System and what it adds to the game, which I cover below. Instead, this game ended up getting amazing review scores, earned a devoted fanbase and recently snatched up a number of yearly awards, including a number of game of the year honors. If the game had been bad it would have been held up as an example of how not to imitate established franchises along with Homefront and Medal of Honor's 2010 reboot.

That's the best way I can really describe it, especially because Monolith, the developer on this game, more or less copied the Assassin's Creed movement system and button-for-button copied the Arkham series combat.

Imagine if the good Assassin's Creed games, the Batman Arkham series and the Return of the King beat-em-up from a decade ago were mixed together.

Killing captains permanently is definitely difficult, but it's a lot of fun when you pull it off, especially when the captains in question become your personal nemesis. For the last one, I shadowstrike using the execution method, and finally, blessedly, get the decapitation. I wait for the alarm to die down, and then track him again, and start hitting him with fully charged headshots. So I beat up on him, get overwhelmed, run away and hide, and this time he sticks around, looking for me. Oh, and he's a combat expert, which means I can't do a wraith-strike finisher, nor a combat execution on him, so even if I activate Storm of Urfael, it's useless on him.Īnd then I remember. I can't vault over him, he gets ragey and strong at various things, and he's got a bajillion dudes surrounding him. Rug is now basically immune to almost everything. So, I take out the bodyguards, and then head into the stronghold. And, of course, the way I have to draw him out.is by setting off the alarm in a stronghold and killing 35 of his men, at which point he'll FINALLY show up. Same thing happened again, and then a caragor killed me once, just due to sheer dumb luck, and Rug gets promoted to warchief! So, now I have to eliminate his bodyguards, as well as avoid the other random captains in the area who could come to his aid. Then he comes back, meaner and stronger, AND with a metal plate on his head! I fought him once and got overwhelmed, and he managed to kill me and rise in the ranks.

This guy was a junior captain who was vulnerable to ranged attacks initially. My absolute favorite, though, was Rug the Battle Hardened. I think I killed him twice, and then he ran away once, but yeah, it took four different tries to get rid of him. He came back, like, four freaking times, until I finally managed to get the beheading. What I failed to take into account, though, was that he was also a tracker. This guy started off as just some chump who was vulnerable to stealth finishers, so I killed him from above and went on about my business.
