Middle-earth Shadow of Mordor: Shadow and Steel (dagger)

Location: Nurnen Peninsula (Nurn)

Secondary objectives: Kill three orcs with the Strike from Above attack.

Requirements: The Strike from Above ability

Search out the orcs that you can safely jump down onto

After this mission starts, focus on the secondary objective first, to get it off your head as quickly as possible. It is important because, during this mission, you cannot be spotted (you will fail the mission then). You may have some problems, while attacking the orcs, because the opponents mainly appear in groups. You can try to lure single orcs away, or search for the single ones (preferably in the Wraith mode). Sneak up to such orcs from behind and execute attacks from above. Eliminate three orcs, in this way.

You can kill the Defenders with stealth attacks ONLY

You may also run into lots of trouble, while completing the primary objective. There are five Defenders to eliminate, BUT the main restriction is that you can kill them ONLY with stealth attacks (getting them from behind and using the dagger, jumping down on them or grabbing them near the ledges). The other types of attacks are forbidden and you gal the mission automatically, if you perform them. Therefore, do not try using the bow, caragors, explosive objects or branding. Before you approach each defender, plan on your attack carefully (preferably in the Wraith mode) and distract the accompanying regular orcs, whenever necessary. Also, try to use the platforms above bridges, ropes, etc. to move around. This brings down the risk of being spotted.

Rewards for completing the mission:

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