Middle-earth Shadow of Mordor: The Darkness Within (dagger)

Location: Cab-Gwanath Bluff (Nurn)

Secondary objectives: You cannot kill any of the orcs, up until the moment that the trap is ready.

Requirements: The Brand ability.

Sneak, while heading towards the spot, where you play the second part of the mission

This mission consists of two main parts and you first need to reach the Executioner's Watch location. Slide down the rope and start sneaking across the orc stronghold. You cannot be spotted, along your path so, use the ledges above, mainly and use the Wraith mode to locate the opponents. If you want to complete the side objective, you cannot kill anyone, up until the moment, at which the final battle takes place. Therefore, stay away from the opponents and ignore them.

The area with seven archers

After you reach your destination, examine the current situation. There are seven orc archers here and remember that you cannot kill anyone, if you want to complete the secondary objective. Therefore, what is important here, is that you plan your route carefully.

Surprise the archers and brand them

You can reach the archers in any order that you want. You can sneak up to them from behind or lure them away from the rest of the orcs, e.g. by whistling. Watch out where some of the archers may keep an eye on each other. Apart from that, there is an orc patrolling, between the two archers on the right. Brand each one of the archers, as soon as the patrolling orc walks away from him.

The patrolling orcs can be easily killed with an arrow to the campfire

The final part of this mission is, arguably, the most enjoyable. Activate all of the branded archers. Soon, there will arrive a bigger patrol. You can either wait for the archers to deal with the patrolling orcs, or help them. I recommend that, in the latter case, you shoot an arrow towards the campfire in the center, because the explosion will kill the majority of the orcs.

Rewards for completing the mission:

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