The ghul lover had mortally wounded by fire, which means that he could be instantly killed with an explosion, or be killed extremely fast with fire. There's your death science for you.

[@TheMasterMind144]

Yup, just because he was enraged by fire didn't mean that he couldn't also be vulnerable to it and judging by how fast he died he definitely had a mortal vulnerability. It's a weird combo which doesn't happen very often but the game mechanics allow it.

[@talon4618]

There's a skill you can get in Ranged where you can pin a captain's leg to the ground and make him vulnerable (there's an upgrade to that skill that allows it to effect Ologs as well). Although this can either trigger a fear of pinning, make them enraged by pinning, or have no effect at all due to being arrow-proof (by Dazing an enemy, you can disable immunities), but I think this could help you loads against orcs who are constantly dodging attacks, stopping vaults, have a shield raised, or a combination of those things. Also take into consideration the fact that you don't have to charge your arrow shots to get what you want, just a simple tap on the trigger and your shot will land. Another thing you can do is get a skill called Poison Tendril that will allow you to poison grog barrels from a distance and by making them blow up, you can poison enemies in the blast and it won't set them on fire (in case they're immune to fire). From what I've seen, the fire that is turned poisonous (that green fire you might see) is called Balefire.

"Enraged" and "immune" are two totally different things, man. "Enraged" just means they're pissed-off and super-dangerous. You'll occasionally run into an orc who's enraged by a specific vulnerability-- especially fun when it's stealth. Drop from a rooftop, then run for your tiny squishable life!

The thing with ghuls is that you need to only dodge the poison spewed from the dark green ones, and the matron, matrons can only be dealt with efficiently and quickly with a single shadow-strike, everything else they hurl back in your face like the slayer class does, their mechanics are made to counter your frontal assault, also, consider looking at traits like Grim Resolve. and take a look at what the gems can do for your equipment, white gems for experience on chestpiece and cloak will net you faster level-growth, which will give you a better chance at keeping pace with captains you might want to recruit, (they might be assigned 1 or more levels higher by the game to spite you, just use online vendetta's to farm experience whilst time stands still in your version of the game) eventually at higher tier levels, replace those white gems on chest and cloak for greens to net yourself additional health, get yourself red gems for the dagger and bow to maximize their damage output, it saves you alot of trouble, lastly, always take a green gem on the sword so it steals health for you. all the best!

It's been quite a while since I've played Shadow of War, but if my memory serves, being Engraged by something doesn't make you immune to it. Ghul Lover probably didn't have the "Fireproof" feature, meaning all his buff did was make his return to hell that much more infuriating for him.

There are times that even though they have a hate if a thing, they usually can be still damaged by then. Which is weird because he didn’t show damage the first time you burned him.

[@arcticshocked]

I like the *idea* of the adaption system, but it occurs way too frequently and way too quickly. Pair that up with the fact that end-game uruks have immunities on top of immunities and I've often found uruks that become nigh immortal because they adapted to the 1 out of two things that work on them and the only thing that works after that was a tedious slog. The adaption system works in the early game but is more annoying than interesting in the late game. Cutting down this game's longevity I feel compared to the first. They really needed to balance it more. Maybe adaption would only occur on subsequent meetings and only then had a chance not a guarentee? like you ran away, they got away, or they came back from the dead.
