Middle-earth Shadow of Mordor: A Knife in the Dark (dagger)

Location: Thang Talath (Nurn)

Secondary objectives: You need to Brand three Defenders, while remaining unspotted.

Requirements: The Brand ability

Brand the shielded orcs

This mission takes place in ruins and while completing it, it is a good idea to keep sneaking, for the whole time (fortunately, you do not fail the mission, if you are spotted). Search for opportunities to surprise single Defenders, i.e. the shielded orcs, whether by sneaking up to them from behind, or by whistling after you hide in the bushes. After you get near such a defender, you need to press the branding key/button and obtain, at least, three allies this way. Thanks to this, you will complete the secondary objective.

You can eliminate the orcs on your own, or have the branded ones eliminate them.

After you complete the secondary objective, you can start murdering all of the orcs in the ruins. It is not compulsory, though, because you can, just as well, take some vantage point, command the branded to attack and observe what is going on in the battlefield. Finally, at the end of the mission,, remember to command the branded to commit suicide (the Dispatch key/button).

Rewards for completing the mission:

• 400 experience points
• 550 gold pieces (Mirian)
• 50 gold pieces (Mirian) - only if you have completed the secondary objective
