Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is a Wide-Open Sandbox Action RPG, released on September 30th, 2014, and developed by Monolith Productions and set in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. It is available on the PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC.The game takes place in an Alternate Timeline between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and stars Talion (voiced and motion-acted by Troy Baker), a ranger of Gondor responsible for guarding the Black Gate of Mordor, who is killed alongside his family by Sauron's forces to celebrate the Dark Lord's homecoming. Fortunately (or unfortunately) for Talion, he is revived by the Elven wraith that the Black Hand was attempting to summon with the ritual killing of Talion and his family. Together, they head into Mordor to exact revenge.The gameplay is a mix of Assassin's Creed's traversal and stealth with combat similar to the Batman: Arkham Series. The standout feature in this game is the Nemesis system, which keeps track of ranked members of Sauron's army and their advancement through it. It also keeps track of the player's relationship with them, where the Uruks will remember their previous encounters with the player and respond accordingly. If a random enemy happens to defeat the player, then he will rise through the ranks, gain a name and a title, and will endeavor to continue his own personal rise towards the rank of Warchief. The player can then encounter them in later events or just randomly happen across them while exploring the world. As they rise through the ranks, they gain strengths and lose weaknesses, so repeatedly losing fights against a specific Uruk can end up creating a rather threatening enemy.The game was followed up with multiple pieces of Downloadable Content, ranging from extra challenge maps (killing a required number of Warchiefs and Captains, along with bonus objectives which must be completed in order for the score to be listed on Elite Leaderboards), to alternate skins for Talion, to two major quest packs - the first, Lord of the Hunt, has Talion working with Torvin to eliminate several Beastmaster Warchiefs, who have taken control of the local wildlife. The second, The Bright Lord, tells the story of the Wraith and his battle with Sauron. A Game of The Year Edition has been released which compiles all of the DLC.Has a 2017 sequel, Middle-earth: Shadow of War.

Cherry Tapping: In the final boss fight of the Bright Lord DLC, it actually is possible to defeat Sauron without using the One Ring just by using regular combat finishers (and/or shooting him in the head a lot), but since he has so much health, this takes a considerable amount of time, especially since Celebrimbor doesn't get 2 finishers per combat chain like a fully upgraded Talion can (it takes over 30 finishers to beat one of his phases, compared to just a dozen or so to beat the Hammer).

Dirty Coward: Uruks with titles like "The Coward", "The Fearful", "Who Flees", etc. have numerous fears and will retreat at the drop of a hat. As an additional gag, you may find Captains who fear Talion himself. You can't give them a decent fight, even if you want.

Darker and Edgier: Played with. Part of the game's appeal to Tolkien fans is, much like the Peter Jackson movies, they remind people there's some pretty dark stuff to Middle-earth already. Still, this is the first game where you are playing something halfway between Aragorn and a ringwraith.

Toward the end of the game, Talion gains powerful combat abilities that make it more and more unlikely to be killed if you're skilled enough, in contrast to the Early Game Hell. Reducing the Hit-Streak requirement to five hits AND doubling the charges of special attacks, Execution bypassing all varieties of mook-level uruks, deadly fire arrows, the devastating combo of Wraith Flash and Wraith Burn, Shadow Strike Chain, combat drain allowing to reload AND heal with the appropriate rune, countless high-level and/or epic runes, etc.

Tempting Fate: Sneaking among the Uruks, you will often hear them wishing for a good fight or stating that they need a worthy foe for a change. One actually brags to his buddies along the lines that "if the Ranger comes creeping around, I'll give him a thrashing." Of course, it's all the more satisfying when you make them eat their words. In the introductory cutscene to an ambush mission, a captain may declare, "I love being in charge! Nobody attacks me!" Cue the group of sneaking enemy Uruks ready to attack him.

Unstable Equilibrium: Whenever Talion is killed, his slayer earns a promotion, causing subsequent rematches with that captain to become progressively more difficult. Additionally, dying causes time to pass, during which other orc captains can also gain power in other ways. Toward the end of the game, Talion gains powerful combat abilities that make it more and more unlikely to be killed if you're skilled enough, in contrast to the Early Game Hell. Reducing the Hit-Streak requirement to five hits AND doubling the charges of special attacks, Execution bypassing all varieties of mook-level uruks, deadly fire arrows, the devastating combo of Wraith Flash and Wraith Burn, Shadow Strike Chain, combat drain allowing to reload AND heal with the appropriate rune, countless high-level and/or epic runes, etc.

Sauron in the Bright Lord DLC. At first, it looks like he's an Anticlimax Boss with his pathetically low health, but that was just a distraction while he cancels your brainwashing on the five warchiefs you brought with you! After you kill your former lieutenants, he comes back with his earth-shaking mace on fire (and proves he's a Bad Boss by occasionally smacking his own minions for no apparent reason), and true to his title, he can resurrect the dead warchiefs as well. Frequently.

Good Is Not Nice
 Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Video Game) / int_21f3aa44
comment
Good Is Not Nice: The wraith not only looks like an evil ghostly zombie and possesses powers one would expect from a villain, he's also completely ruthless and willing to use said powers mercilessly to thwart Sauron's forces as much as possible. Not even the suffering of the outcasts elicits any kind of sympathy from him. When a prisoner is chased down, savagely beaten, and dragged away by a pair of Uruks, Talion is horrified, whereas the wraith only sees this as a useful distraction.

Aborted Arc: In The Núrn area there's a great amount of voice lines, flavor text and even artwork about a sea monster whose been terrorizing the denizens of the region. The game seems to have been building up to an appearance by a Kraken-like creature similar to Moria's Watcher in the Water. But this unfortunately goes nowhere.

comment
Mythology Gag: When escaping from the Graug lair during one of Gollum's missions, the wraith says "Fly, you fool!" to tell Talion to escape. One of the achievements is also named after the iconic quote, as it involves dropping Morgai Fly hives on Uruks to make them disperse. One of the sword missions is named "They Shall Not Pass". The wraith reminds Talion that "not all those who wander are lost" after the ranger points out that Torvin is far away from home hunting in Mordor. After Talion learns to brand enemies, the wraith notes that it is "a gift," and they should "use the enemy's weapon against him," foreshadowing Boromir's argument in Fellowship of the Ring. The platinum trophy for the game notes "One has walked in Mordor," an answer to Boromir's line of "One does not simply walk into Mordor." In The Lord of the Rings, Frodo and Sam overhear an orc and a tracker discussing the various theories of who caused trouble at the Tower of Cirith Ungol. Among these theories include the work of a tark (orcish slang for "Man of Gondor"), a great elf-lord, a dwarf-man, a pack of rebel Uruk-hai, or even the whole lot put together. And whom causes trouble for Mordor in this game? A tark (Talion), a great elf-lord (The wraith,who is later revealed to be Celebrimbor), a dwarf-man (Torvin, a dwarf that almost looks like a human), and a pack of rebel Uruk-hai (the various Uruks that are branded by the wraith over the course of the game).

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Talion successfully takes down the avatar of Sauron, which is the main reason why he doesn't appear in The Lord of the Rings to stop the fellowship or lead his armies, undoubtedly a huge factor in the victory of hobbits, elves, and men. And then Talion is corrupted by Sauron's darkness. It's unknown whether or not he can overcome this. Ratbag finds out about the You Have Failed Me trope firsthand after finally becoming a Warchief. Subverted in the fact Talion's actions manage to save the ethnic peoples of Mordor from slavery.

Extremely Short Timespan: It's not immediately obvious, but the game takes place over the course of three days, at most. This becomes more obvious compared to the sequel, especially since in that game, it's revealed over a long, but finite time that an Uruk can shrug off Talion's Branding.

The Dreaded: Talion becomes this as more and more Uruks are killed by him. A late-game quality Captains can have is "Fear of the Gravewalker", where simply seeing Talion is enough for them to flee in terror. One of the artifacts, Old Scorchy, is just as feared. Uruks normally don't care about brands, but Old Scorchy is an enchanted brand that causes pain and damage on a mystical level, and is treated as an Anything but That! torture device for Uruks.

comment
Death as Game Mechanic: Talion, the main character, can come back to life after being killed, and each death affects the world. The game has a political system for the different orc clans, and the orc who gets the killing stroke on you can earn promotion in the orc totem pole, causing a chain reaction of political intrigue, with some orcs seeking favor with the newly promoted one while others try to kill the promoted orc to take his place on the totem pole. Enemy orcs even ACKNOWLEDGE that you died and came back, and can actually taunt and throw mocking nicknames at you if you keep getting repeatedly killed by them.

He Who Fights Monsters
 Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Video Game) / int_2c1f1138
comment
He Who Fights Monsters: The whole game has this value. The methods the wraith uses, through Talion, would, under most circumstances, be considered excessively cruel and morally repugnant (e.g. brainwashing, torture, brutality, deceit) — Talion starts out reluctant to wield these powers, but, over time, this aspect disappears and starts flying in the face of Tolkien's core values. Watching Talion's humanity deteriorate as he embraces his enemies' character can help illustrate Tolkien's main points... but also, the one ''truly' embracing the powers and nudging Talion to use them is the wraith, as he formerly tried to use the One Ring against Sauron and failed, resulting in his death. Referenced by some Uruks when fighting Caragors.

Facepalm of Doom: The wraith's Branding involves placing his hand on the side of his target's face. This leaves a physical brand of a handprint, though it's implied that it's purely aesthetic for we the audience, since if enemy Uruks could identify their brainwashed kin, Talion's army of Uruks would be cut short real quick.

Memory Trigger: The Wraith suffers from Ghost Amnesia, so in order to regain his memories, Talion has to travel about Mordor, finding relics from his past in the form of metal-crafting tools. Every time Talion touches one of these tools, his body seizes up as the memories return to the Wraith, reminding him that he was Celebrimbor, the Ultimate Blacksmith of the High Elves, responsible for forging the Rings of Power, and who lead a revolution against Sauron before being imprisoned, tortured and killed for daring to steal the One Ring and use it against the Dark Lord.

Create Your Own Villain: Whether from incidental deaths or deliberate enhancement through mission successes and death threats, the Nemesis system allows the player to cultivate practically any Uruk into your... well, nemesis. There's even an achievement called "Rise and Fall" for dying to a no-name grunt, helping him get promoted to Warchief, then cutting him down at the height of his power.

Not Worth Killing: Uruks with the Humiliator trait (possibly with a sobriquet like "The Humiliator" or "The Merciful") "refuse to give the killing blow to unworthy victims" and will likely end up walking away from a downed Talion because of this. And due to how the Nemesis system works, it may actually piss you off more than if they had killed you. Orcs who kill you go up in rank (and time advances) and while that means you'll face a stronger foe, it also means he'll eventually drop a more valuable Rune when he dies. Orcs who show you mercy can't be manipulated this way!

Trailers Always Lie: The promotional information for the game highly emphasizes the idea of building Talion's own Uruk army to fight Sauron's forces. While the Nemesis system comes up early on, the actual ability to Brand targets (thereby allowing the creation of Talion's own army) does not come up until well into the game, at least halfway in. The first half consists of using the Nemesis system and various orcs' weaknesses and strengths, but not the creation of an army on Talion's own side.

Death is Cheap: Some Uruks can survive what seems like a fatal blow (up to and including being stabbed in the face) and return for a rematch. Off with His Head! is the only assurance that they won't come back. According to the source material, Uruk medicine is very good, though also painful, so it's probably a Justified Trope. Also, Sauron isn't called a necromancer for nothing.

Boring, but Practical: Fighting a Captain with a mob of enemies all around you? Wraith-stun the Captain. Any wraith-stunned enemy will get attacked faster, thus building the combo faster, and even if you stop to parry an attack, you can still build a combo quickly allowing you to switch between renewing the stun on the Captain and using him to build up a combo and parrying/executing the mob that's surrounding them.

Unintentionally Unwinnable: The "Trials of War" challenges require the player to kill a certain number of Uruk Captains and Warchiefs. However, all the Uruks are pre-set instead of randomly generated, and while the Captains can still be promoted to Warchiefs like in the main game, their place won't be taken by a low-rank Uruk after they were promoted. So if the player didn't kill enough Captains before they took the place of a deceased Warchief, then there won't be any more Captains to kill, prevent him to reach the goal. Due to how the Nemesis system works as well as how Captains operate in the world, it's entirely possible for an inexperienced player to get into a rut where they simply cannot progress because the Captains are too hard to kill. Add into the fact that being killed by a Captain makes them stronger and getting into a fight in a really bad spot can lead to about 4 Captains turning up to the fight, who all get extra Power simply for surviving the Curb-Stomp Battle against you... If this happens before the early missions against the Warchiefs, the player can easily be stuck after the eighth or so mission. At this stage, Talion probably has not learnt Branding yet, and thus do not have access to one of his most powerful abilities. The Trial of Defiance can be this if the player messes up the kill order of Captains and Warchiefs so that they don't have enough Captain or Warchief kills to complete the trial. note For this trial, the player must kill six Warchiefs while the maximum number of Warchiefs at any one time is five. Also, one bonus objective is that the Test must be finished with no Warchiefs left in power.

Foregone Conclusion: As it turns out, Celebrimbor managed to steal the Ring from Sauron while Sauron was holding it up with a pair of tongs. Celebrimbor later tries to use it as a weapon against the Dark Lord in order to save his wife and child. Unfortunately, Celebrimbor had to die to become the wraith, or the game would not have been possible. Thus, it betrayed the Elf Lord the moment it got the chance and flew onto Sauron's finger. Curb-Stomp Battle ensued.

Bad Boss
 Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Video Game) / int_3cb1d38d
comment
Bad Boss: The game doesn't distinguish between enemy orcs and orcs under your control while in combat (unlike Outcasts, which will never be auto-targeted), so it's very easy to accidentally hit or even execute your own guys in a pitched fight. There's also absolutely nothing stopping you from torturing your own orcs in a variety of different ways, while they just stand there and take it without resistance. Justified as Talion doesn't particularly like his branded orcs and the wraith sees them as tools. Background conversations between orcs show that the Hammer and especially the Tower have a tendency to do very bad things to their own troops.

No Kill like Overkill: During the first half of the game, Talion's method of disposing interrogated orcs is to stab them through the eyes, then decapitate them. Given how much punishment some orcs recover from, this may be justified.

Climax Boss: One of the final bosses is your nemesis; the game tracks your victories and defeats, and chooses the one Uruk who either had the best chance of putting you down, or the one who hates you the most. Sauron in the Bright Lord DLC. At first, it looks like he's an Anticlimax Boss with his pathetically low health, but that was just a distraction while he cancels your brainwashing on the five warchiefs you brought with you! After you kill your former lieutenants, he comes back with his earth-shaking mace on fire (and proves he's a Bad Boss by occasionally smacking his own minions for no apparent reason), and true to his title, he can resurrect the dead warchiefs as well. Frequently.

Bittersweet Ending: Yes, Talion has defeated the Black Hand, but anyone who knows the mythology will be disturbed when he says that he wants to make a new Ring for himself. There can only be one master of the Ring, and he seems to be Sauron's next vessel... or perhaps it's Celebrimbor's doing after all. As well, most of Talion's allies have left Mordor, either fleeing for their own safety or having been pushed away by Talion's single-minded obsession with his revenge.

Annoying Arrows: Averted for both Talion and the orcs — archers and spear-throwers will be the bane of early-game Talion's existence, due to interrupting the combat multiplier and doing a fair amount of damage. Played straight, however, for orc bosses that are Immune to Ranged, where shooting them directly won't damage them at all.

The Guards Must Be Crazy
 Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Video Game) / int_4508b16b
comment
The Guards Must Be Crazy: It's possible to stealthily kill one Uruk only a few feet away from and in front of other Uruks, without alerting the rest — at least for a few seconds. They will leave their friends to investigate your suspicious noises, thereby letting Talion ambush them individually. Entire groups can be eliminated by stealth without drawing attention from other nearby orcs, despite all the gurgling and thrashing noises. You can also hide and move around very easily by crouching on ledges above the Uruks, who almost never look up. Does this sound familiar? This trope is averted in stealth missions which you must complete without being spotted; during these, the enemy suddenly and inexplicably seems to have eagle eyes. Be prepared to restart these missions over and over. Justified Trope when you defuse an alerted guard by branding him—him going "It must've been my imagination" makes sense when you're essentially mind controlling him.

Body Horror: Captains that aren't beheaded may return again - with increasingly gruesome wounds. Burned orcs will be covered in bandages. And if they're seriously wounded, they'll actually appear with bags over their heads. The descriptions may even mention that their face is scarred, making it painful to eat. Captains that survive a headshot will sport a metal plate which has been grafted into their skull. For a non-orc example, the Tower's armor appears to be fused to his body, the straps and buckles going under his skin in spots. The skin around his mouth has also been removed, so his teeth and gums are always showing.

What Measure Is a Mook?: Played with. If an Uruk kills Talion, he gets a name, is promoted, and gets his own Berserk Button / Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? personality traits. And while Uruks are Always Chaotic Evil, sometimes they will make remarks that are genuine emotions and pining - until they start demeaning slaves again.

Flash Step: The Shadow Strike Wraith ability. Used as a combat technique to teleport to and knock down an opponent. It can later be upgraded to a lethal version. Yet another upgrade allows Talion to chain these together indefinitely (or at least until the energy meter runs out), and another upgrade to allow for instantly Branding and taming a Caragor mount.

Emergent Narrative
 Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Video Game) / int_55ca2d34
comment
Emergent Narrative: The Nemesis system dynamically populates and shuffles the orcish social hierarchy based on Talion's actions. Each orc is procedurally generated with random personality and appearance traits, remembers and references previous encounters with Talion, and gains further abilities and individuation (like nicknames) as he climbs the ladder, especially if he manages to "kill" Talion. Later in the game, Talion learns to Brand/brainwash orcs and then subtly orchestrate their rise to power from the shadows, producing highly memorable From Nobody to Nightmare narratives.

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": Talion makes the distinction of "They're not orcs, they're Uruks" during the introductory sequence, although the only noteworthy difference between Uruks and basic orcs is that Uruks can endure more punishment. Talion even colloquially refers to Uruks as "orcs" at times.

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Sometimes, when the player's about to finish off a Captain, the uruk may beg for his dear life before Talion tries to deliver the coup de grâce. On the other hand, other captains will just openly insult him.

Nintendo Hard: Can happen thanks to the Nemesis system, but this term fits more towards the Bright Lord DLC. Despite having the One Ring, which lets you do some crazy stuff (turn invisible, slow time to a crawl, perform unlimited executions and have infinite arrows, as long as the ring is charged), the game balances this out by the fact Celebrimbor's weapons have less slots for runes, he doesn't have Talion's highest-level upgrades. It also throws possibly the largest quantity of orcs in the entire game at you, makes the Warchiefs extremely powerful, makes basic Captains absurdly powerful for their rank and ends in the toughest fight in the entire game — Sauron turns your branded Warchiefs against you, forcing you to kill all five of them at once, after which he'll revive one or more of them to fight you again while also fighting you directly. Be killed by a random Uruk and you'll see his power level going from 1 to 18.

Gameplay and Story Segregation: Ratbag will tell the Hammer of Sauron that he's the only warchief left alive. In reality, Talion only has to kill four of the five warchiefs, including the one needed for Ratbag to ascend in rank; the last one is, in gameplay terms, an Optional Boss. Talion will tell Torvin that the Graug they intend to slay will be his first, regardless of how many the player might have killed already.

Maligned Mixed Marriage: Talion's marriage to Ioreth made her father Hallas extremely unhappy due to the fact that he was not of Numenorean blood like she was, even though he saved her from assault by a Minas Tirith nobleman. He did save Talion's life by commuting his death sentence and giving him a position on the Black Gate, though. Hirgon and Eryn have the reverse situation to Talion and Ioreth, in which a "pure-blooded" Gondorian fell in love with an outcast woman.

Flies Equals Evil: Some Captains and Qarchiefs are so foul that they're constantly surrounded by a swarm of flies. The Morgai Flies that inhabit Mordor are a ubiquitous example, as they breed voraciously in the unburied carrion that litters the landscape.

On a slightly less world-changing note, he also upgrades your weapons, reforging them into better, more intricate forms, or, in Acharn's case, turning it into a proper dagger. Legends and their meaning are also inscribed on them.

Guide Dang It!
 Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: The game doesn't inform you on certain ways you can manipulate the Nemesis system. Firstly, it doesn't explicitly inform you that no Uruk is immune to damage from other Uruks. This makes killing any tough Uruk who may be immune to anything Talion throws at him a piece of cake once Talion has branded enough Uruks in said Uruk's vicinity. Warchiefs in particular become sitting ducks once Talion promotes enough Branded Captains to his side. Once the second half of the game is unlocked, Talion can manipulate Power Struggle missions by switching between regions (which resets all three missions in the region when he returns). If there are less than three Power Struggle missions in the region, he can also use Fast Travel to a Forge Tower to force missions to spawn. While the game reminds the player that issuing a Death Threat to a Warchief will significantly increase the chance of said Warchief dropping an Epic rune upon death, the game doesn't inform the player that the player must land the killing blow on said Warchief for said increase in chance to occur. One of the hunting challenges is to slay a Ghul Matron. These spawn outside of missions only under very specific circumstances, which is not explained anywhere: First you need to find an area at night where Ghuls spawn. Kill most of the Ghuls, then let the rest be when they start running away, and stay put. Another wave of Ghuls will rise up from the ground after a short time. Repeat as before, and in the third wave Ghul Matrons will arrive.

Came Back Strong: Talion is killed at the start of the story, then revived after he becomes bound to the spirit of a dead elf lord, gaining wraith powers. Any Captain who survives a fatal blow from Talion will come back stronger than before. If he exploited one of their weaknesses, like a vulnerability to ranged attacks or fire, they'll have become immune to it.

In The Lord of the Rings, Frodo and Sam overhear an orc and a tracker discussing the various theories of who caused trouble at the Tower of Cirith Ungol. Among these theories include the work of a tark (orcish slang for "Man of Gondor"), a great elf-lord, a dwarf-man, a pack of rebel Uruk-hai, or even the whole lot put together. And whom causes trouble for Mordor in this game? A tark (Talion), a great elf-lord (The wraith,who is later revealed to be Celebrimbor), a dwarf-man (Torvin, a dwarf that almost looks like a human), and a pack of rebel Uruk-hai (the various Uruks that are branded by the wraith over the course of the game).

Boss in Mook's Clothing: Depending on how much power and support an Uruk has, a "mere" captain can prove a greater challenge than a warchief or a story boss. Some of the captains even look very much like ordinary Uruks if one isn't paying close attention or checking for them in the wraith world. Seeing "Combat Master" or "Invulnerable to Stealth" unexpectedly can be quite the Oh, Crap! moment.

From Bad to Worse: Uruk captains will sometimes ambush Talion in the middle of a melee, including when dealing with another captain. They'll then proceed to lampshade it by snarking that it's a bad time for you, which is rather fortunate for them.

Distinction Without a Difference: Since the game follows the films' version of Denethor, Talion and other Gondorians are proud to be a kingdom without a king, considering themselves freer than any other because of it.

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Ratbag invokes this by volunteering to help Talion get to the Black Hand. It doesn't end well for him. According to the game, all Uruks have this since the society is based on Klingon Promotion. Warchiefs are never seen because of this, and always have one eye on their bodyguards for treachery. However, they are forced to confront serious threats because not doing so would make them seem weak and encourage backstabbing.

Invincibility Power-Up: Each weapon has its own ability, each one lasting about 20 seconds. The sword's ability grants you an unlimited number of executions, the dagger's ability allows you to become invisible and stealth kill at your leisure, and the bow's ability gives you an unlimited number of arrows. In the Bright Lord DLC, these powers are combined in the One Ring, which also slows time.

Off with His Head!: Combat executions and the Wraith Finisher can remove an uruk's head from its body. Killing a captain or a warchief with a decapitation will show their head on a spike for their rune portrait / pre-replacement Nemesis corpse, and also prevents them from ever coming back.

The Alcoholic: Virtually every Uruk in Mordor, judging by the massive amount of grog barrels littering their camps. Even many of their conversations center around grog. One of the possible titles for a captain is "The Drunk" and they will be seen carrying multiple bottles. One drinking song heard during "Feast" missions has them naming grog as their one comfort.

Easy Level Trick: Luring groups of Uruks back to a Forge Tower can allow you to make short work of them. Once you've climbed high enough onto the tower, they will automatically lose track of you. Before they walk away, you have ample time to drop down for Stealth or Brutalize kills. This even works on Captains as long as they don't have a specific immunity to the attack.

Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: Talion and the wraith, respectively, particularly in terms of their skill trees. Talion's skills focus on methodically taking out individual or small groups of Uruks and mostly just gets slightly better at it by the endgame. The wraith starts out un-impressively but quickly picks up lots of crowd control and domination abilities, including most of the hitstreak attacks. In fact, one could argue that Talion's primary skill contributions at that point are the ones that build the combo meter faster.

Puzzle Boss: The Hammer is invulnerable to everything but a combat finishing move, meaning you have to attack his Uruk bodyguards til you get a multiplier high enough to do one on him. The Tower is invulnerable to everything except Stealth Drains, meaning you have to repeatedly sneak up on him without being detected. It is possible to come across a warchief with the combat master perk (can't be harmed by any traditional combat strikes or finishers), immunity to stealth finishers and immunity to ranged attacks. At that point the battle becomes about luring him into an area where you can take advantage of his one vulnerability.

Justified Trope when you defuse an alerted guard by branding him—him going "It must've been my imagination" makes sense when you're essentially mind controlling him.

Resurrective Immortality: Talion's bond with the Wraith prevents him from permanently dying. Not only is this the reason for Talion's survival, but it also means that Death Is a Slap on the Wrist. Talion doesn't take it too well, since he is a Death Seeker who wants to join his dead wife and son. There's a chance Captains may survive a fatal injury like a headshot, or being set on fire. If they do, they come back with some new scars.

comment
Dynamic Entry: Unlike regular stealth kills, Brutalize kills are noisy and attract the attention of nearby Uruks. However, they also build up your hit streak to five and it causes a few Uruks to panic and flee. Beginning a combat encounter by bursting out of stealth with a Brutalize kill therefore gives you a head start on your hit counter (possibly allowing you to perform an execution immediately) and makes the attacking group a little smaller.

Loads and Loads of Loading
 Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Video Game) / int_96181ea7
comment
Loads and Loads of Loading: Mostly averted, but any loading screen featuring Talion's face in the background will generally take a good minute to complete. The developers were aware of possibly long loading times and, during certain loadings, audio fragments from Talion's past are played, ranging from his wife singing to him to him sadly grieving the loss of his family. When loading is done, these continue to play out unless you press a button to skip it. Played straight in the Play Station 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, which feature lengthy (around 10 to 15 seconds) blank loading screens every time the player closes the map or the pause menu, when they go into the Nemesis system, etc. This is probably due to the game taking longer to load the environments than it would in a more powerful hardware.

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Celebrimbor in the Bright Lord DLC has a significantly different moveset from Talion. While the game informs the player that Celebrimbor can mass Brand orcs and cannot slow time while aiming with his bow, the game doesn't inform that Celebrimbor cannot do two special attacks while his Hit Streak is charged, nor can he stun enemies after vaulting over them. All these, combined with his lower health, Elf-shot and usable rune capacity, require the player to employ different strategies.

 Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Video Game) / int_974b47a7

Men Are the Expendable Gender: All the slaves seen in gameplay are men. While Uruks periodically talk about capturing and gutting "She-slaves" none are actually seen by the player. And the only "She-slave" that we see is a named character that gets rescued during an early story mission, so it's possible they were referring to her. In addition, Uruks are an all-male species and are treated this way by their Warchiefs, the Black Captains, and eventually Talion himself.

"Not So Different" Remark
 Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Video Game) / int_984ef9ef
comment
"Not So Different" Remark: Used in one of the Warchief death quotes. Raising an army of Orcs/Uruks and deciding to get his own Ring of Power? Just like Saruman and Sauron. Sauron invokes this against Celebrimbor. Celebrimbor denies it, but his actions seem to say otherwise. Before Talion kills him, the Hammer mockingly infers that the darkness the Ranger seeks to destroy has already begun to claim him.

AntiFrustrationFeature
 Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Video Game) / int_9b9435d0
comment
Anti-Frustration Feature: Aside from dying, the only way time advances on a map (thereby allowing Uruk power-plays to be made and promotions to be given out) is by actively doing so — this prevents situations where a player might Fast Travel to one end of the map to take on a particular Captain, only to have said Captain move to the portion they'd just left. If the camera-angle is uncooperative, the Parry prompt will appear across the bottom of the screen, rather than above the head of the enemy attacking. Should you kill a captain but die before you can pick up their rune, the rune will remain on the map once you respawn. They even have their own icon. note Be careful about leaving them laying around, though. Too many of them on the minimap can start causing crashes. No matter how many enemies are attacking, starting a mission will always make them vanish. This cuts both ways, though. Want to bring that Graug you just dominated into a mission? Tough luck. Dominating a captain will make them vanish into thin air and reappear elsewhere on the map. Which is helpful when you are surrounded by hostile orcs so your freshly acquired Captain doesn’t get immediately dogpiled by his former underlings.

Evil Is Not a Toy: As shown in both the main story and the Bright Lord DLC, in the past, the Wraith tried to use the One Ring against Sauron. As anyone who's read Tolkien's work knows, the Ring has a mind of its own and will do anything to return to its master. It does just that right before he would have struck a killing blow against Sauron, resulting in the tables being turned into a Curb-Stomp Battle against him.

Awesome Moment of Crowning: Subverted with Ratbag. His rise through the hierarchy is met with dismay and disgust. It's implied the only reason no one kills him is because the orcs are hoping he'll take the fall for all the trouble going on (which he does, when the Hammer crushes his skull with his mace for allowing the enormous Sauron statue to be destroyed by Talion.)

Doomed by Canon: Talion's efforts (in this game and the sequel) don't do anything to halt Sauron's overall plans; just slow them down. Being an Alternate Timeline doesn't change the fact that The One Ring is still in the hands of Bilbo Baggins, and Sauron's alliance with Saruman continues unhindered. In addition, the Wraith's idea of using the enemy's weapons against him is a goal inevitable to fail, since Tolkien made it explicit that any attempts to wield Sauron's power would just result in another Sauron, literally. While downplayed here, it forms one of the main themes of the sequel, showing that Celebrimbor isn't so different from Sauron himself.

You Don't Look Like You: As Urfael and Acharn are upgraded, they look significantly unlike like their original forms.note Azkȃr, the bow, simply adds text that is barely noticeable The first upgrade tends to look similar enough to be a reforging, but the third is at the point where you want to ask the Wraith "What is this and where did you put my sword and/or son's hilt?" The blades looks more and more elvish in design with each reforging, after all, the Wraith that's doing the reforging was originally an elf. Like what he's doing with Talion.

Deadpan Snarker: Talion gets in a few snarks every so often. Particularly pronounced with his interactions with Ratbag. Gollum gets in a fair bit of snark, particularly with a mean-spirited but hilarious song against Talion (but not the wraith).

All for Nothing: Shadow of War retroactively makes the Lord Of The Hunt DLC into this. In that story, Torvin had Talion kill all the Beastmaster Warchiefs to stop the Uruks from taming Caragaths because their stealthiness and mobility (increased speed and climbing ability compared to Caragors) would make them powerful tools for Sauron's armies. But as the sequel shows, not only would the skills of the Warchiefs be replicated as Beastmaster Captains are a common occurrence, but the Caragors in War have the same stealth abilities of the Caragaths, implying that the Orcs were ultimately able to integrate their lethality into their forces (possibly through interbreeding the two species though they're still considered Caragors), rendering everything Talion did to prevent it moot.

The blades looks more and more elvish in design with each reforging, after all, the Wraith that's doing the reforging was originally an elf. Like what he's doing with Talion.

Klingon Promotion: If an orc that kills Talion is not part of the current hierarchy, he will (attempt to) kill one of the captains to claim their place. Talion can also brand a Warchief's bodyguard and force him to turn against his master, which can result in the aforementioned bodyguard becoming the new Warchief if he succesfully manages to kill the old one. Three different types of power struggles involve one Captain trying to murder another one for some reason. If a Captain that holds a lesser place in the hierarchy manages to kill a higher-ranked one, he will ascend to a higher position

Tin Tyrant: A common appearance for warchiefs is heavy plate armour over most of their body. All Nazgul appear this way; perhaps because Talion sees them differently as undead. During the final boss fight, the Black Hand reveals himself to be Sauron in all his Black Knight splendor.

Continuing is Painful: Time passes when you die, filling any power vacuums in the orcish hierarchy and allowing existing orc leaders to consolidate their power. The orc who killed you also gets an immediate promotion, so dying multiple times to the same enemy makes for a more challenging rematch every time.

Shout-Out
 Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The Uruks speaking in a cockney accent appears to have been inspired by Warhammer. There's a wonderful shout-out to Dwarf Fortress in the form of one of the collectible artifacts, an engraved mumak tusk. The name and description follow the standard DF format and the engraving even depicts dwarves in combat with an elephant (or at least the Middle-earth version thereof). Somebody on the dev team is clearly a long-time DF fan. As expected, there are numerous shout-outs to Tolkien's works, including a mission where Talion must defend a bridge against a swarm of Uruks. The mission is titled "They Shall Not Pass". Other sidequests refer to chapter titles from The Lord of the Rings novels; examples are "The Scouring of the Shadow" and "A Knife in the Dark". Sometimes, an Uruk will claim to be "quivering in antici...pation". It's no secret that a lot of the gameplay elements were shamelessly lifted from the Arkham Series, but they also gave us this gem in the codex entry for the Morgul Bats: In a bit of a recursive adaptation with A Song of Ice and Fire the Rangers on the Towers of the Teeth and the Outcast bear a strong resemblance to the Night's Watch (an organization that guards over a massive wall overlooking a deadly wasteland) and the Wildlings (a resourceful tribe of humans that insist on living on the other side of the Wall). Also, Lithariel bears some physical resemblance to Daenerys Targaryen.

Large and in Charge: Zig-zagged. Captains and Warchiefs have randomized appearances, so they can bigger than common Uruks or smaller than Talion. The Hammer and the Tower, however, are taller than any of the Uruks, while their superior, the Black Hand, is the size of a normal man. Sauron himself towers over any of his servants in this game.

Series Continuity Error: Barad-dûr hadn't been built when Celebrimbor was alive, but is visible in a flashback cutscene. Likewise, Gondor had lost the Black Gate about a thousand years before Talion was supposedly stationed there. It's more-or-less justified by the Alternate Continuity in which the game takes place, however.

Too bad for Celebrimbor and everyone else, the One Ring is partly sentient and proceeds to demonstrate why none of the Ring bearers in the series try fighting Sauron with his own power: when it looks like Celebrimbor has Sauron on the ropes, the One Ring simply slips itself off of his finger and right onto Sauron's. Celebrimbor is promptly crushed.

Heroic Second Wind: When Talion's hit points fall to zero, if the blow that did so was not an explosion, he will fall to his knees and one of his enemies will have a chance to finish him off. If nobody takes the chance after a while, or if you succeed at a Quick Time Event, Talion will get back to his feet and recover some of his HP. Subverted in that Captains and Warchiefs also have the ability to do this: if you don't finish them off with an execution, you will have to succeed at a Quick Time Event after their HP falls to zero in order to kill them. Later in the game, Talion can gain the ability to deliver a killing blow while recovering. Some captains have the No Chance ability, which denies the player the chance to recover, killing them automatically. Some captains have the Humiliator ability. Rather than try to finish you off, they taunt you and stroll away, leaving you alive, but giving them the power boost from the victory and forcing you to find them all over again.

Ratbag will tell the Hammer of Sauron that he's the only warchief left alive. In reality, Talion only has to kill four of the five warchiefs, including the one needed for Ratbag to ascend in rank; the last one is, in gameplay terms, an Optional Boss.

Absurdly Sharp Blade: Much like Aragorn's blade in the main films, Talion's sword cuts through Orcs like warm butter and never shows signs of dulling. This trope extends to his son's broken sword as well, which is still sharp enough to be driven to the hilt into an Orc's head.

Set a Mook to Kill a Mook: You can get caragors to attack orcs by un-caging them or using meat to attract them. Later on, you can brand most foes, causing them to fight for you. Poisoning grog barrels does this to any Uruks it doesn't kill outright by causing the survivors to fight each other out of paranoia.

comment
Cruel Mercy: Any Orc with the Humiliator trait will refuse to deliver the finishing blow to Talion when he's down. This might sound good, but it denies you a chance to get your second wind, meaning that, when Talion goes down, the fight is over and you have to find the orc all over again.

From Nobody to Nightmare: The Hammer was a no-name medic who happened to pick up Sauron's mace when the latter fell in battle. Cue a few hundred years later... Every Uruk in the game has the potential to be this. If a random foot-soldier manages to kill you, he'll get a promotion to Captain and spiffy new gear. It's even possible for him to eventually become a Warchief.

Authority Equals Asskicking: During duels, executions and ambushes, stronger captains will usually kill/frighten away weaker ones, but it's mostly dependent on their levels. Warchiefs on the other hand cannot even be ambushed or executed by captains (presumably out of fear) unless you force a captain to betray them.

Stopped Dead in Their Tracks: After Talion has killed the Hammer of Sauron, a woman called Lithariel, the Warrior Princess of Nurn, shows up to ask the Gravewalker to return home with her and speak to her mother. When Talion initially refuses, and is about to walk away, Lithariel then tells him that she knows he's the Heroic Host of Celebrimbor, at which point he stops walking and turns to give her his full attention.

Gameplay and Story Integration: When Sauron is fought as the Final Boss of the Bright Lord DLC, even before he reclaims the One Ring, the boss fight displays just how the One Ring can never be used against him properly. The One Ring's powers that easily kills all other enemies in the game are much less effective on him, and he repeatedly nullifies Celebrimbor's control.

Blade Lock: This is one of the ways captains can greet you. Can double as an Oh, Crap! moment, as this happens most often when you're cutting through a random pack of orcs when, suddenly, one blocks you, introduces himself, and tells you to Say Your Prayers. If you have certain abilities and are able to perform multiple executions in a row as long as your meter is full, it can be fairly irritating to find a captain, activate your meter, and start merrily hacking away, only to have him lock blades with you, deliver his quote, and then move away from you... all while the meter drains.

Why Won't You Die?: Uruk Captains and Warchiefs who killed Talion will sometimes say this after they've already killed him. Others speak a variation, eagerly willing to kill him again. This can also work against you. Some Uruk Captains or Warchiefs will come back from the dead after Talion has apparently killed them, runes and all. The best way to ensure they don't come back is by decapitation - and even then...

Captain Obvious Reveal: If you're at all familiar with Tolkien's written material, the Wraith's identity as Celebrimbor. He even outright says so indirectly when calling the forging towers "like a silver hand". Guess how you say "silver hand" in Elvish? And even if you can't immediately recall his name, the clues are there from the get-go since the wraith is very obviously an elven smith and craftsman, which narrows the list of possible identities dramatically.

All Trolls Are Different: Graugs (full name Olog Graugs, with Olog being the Black Speech word for troll) are massive, lumbering beasts found in Mordor's wilderness who have a terrible temper and are prone to eating people, including other trolls and especially Uruks. They have variants of their own (including one who can projectile vomit an acidic bile as a form of combat in the Downloadable Content story, and elemental-powered ones using fire, poison, and ice in the sequel), and are cross-bred with Hill Trolls by Sauron to create sun-resistant Olog-hai in the sequel. Talion learns how to ride them late in the game from the dwarf hunter Torvin, and they turn into stone before crumbling into dust when they die.
