Middle-earth Shadow of Mordor: An Interested Party

Requirements for starting the mission: You need to complete the second main mission (The Slaver).

Secondary objectives: You need to rescue four slaves.

Wraith mode is very helpful for tracking Gollum

Make sure that you have the Wraith Mode activated and follow the footsteps left by Gollum. You do not need to keep using the alternative vision, although this will help you stay on track.

Deal with orcs in the two camps to free the prisoners

At the beginning of the mission, you will get the opportunity to complete the secondary objective, because you will be passing by two orc camps, where there are four slaves kept. Try to eliminate all of the orcs, in both of the camps, (fortunately, they are the weaker variations), thanks to which the slaves will be freed automatically.

Note - you can attack the orcs in any way you want, e.g. in melee, with ranged weapons or one-by-one by stealth killing.

The spot where you find the medallion

Further along your path, watch out for the orc patrol on one of the paths - you can either walk around them or attack them. By following the footsteps, you will finally get into a cave. Enter and remain in the Wraith Mode. Reach the ledge above and find the interactive medallion here, which you need to collect from the ground.

Kill the caragor before he mutilates you

Be prepared to use the bow quickly, because there is a caragor in the cave. Aim the bow, draw the bowstring as far as possible and release it, which kills the beast. You can now head towards the cave exit and replenish your arrows along your way.

Dodge to the side when a hinter throws the spear

At the cave exit, you will be jumped by orcs and, this is the occasion on which you encounter Hunters. They are capable of throwing spears and you need to react to that, by dodging to the sides. I recommend that you start by attacking the monsters at a range and take advantage of the fact that your arrow supply is full. Only after the opponents come closer, or you deplete Focus, switch to melee.

You can either attack the caragor at a distance or in melee (it then becomes highly dangerous)

The orcs are not the only problem, because there appears another caragor around. I recommend that you attack it, as soon as possible, i.e. before it kills all of the orcs, because it then focuses on you. You can kill the caragor, for example, with two arrows towards its head, or in melee. In the latter case, it is necessary that you perform dodges, thanks to which you will avoid taking heavy damage from the attacks. After the battle, walk away from the cave to meet up with Gollum and complete this mission.

Rewards for completing the mission:

• 600 experience points
• 50 gold pieces (Mirian) - only if you have completed the secondary objective
• New main mission unlocked: "Shattered Memories"
• New main mission unlocked: "The Outcasts"
