Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - 6 Tips for Mastering the Nemesis System

[@elekonas]

One orc killed me like 7 times and got really strong. I created a monster. Each time i came over he got anoyed that i keep bothering him. Love this game

[@RealLifeEddy2K]

elekonas I had this problem. Lucky Shot was my issue, got me down I think 6 times, I finally got the hang of the game, found his A##, punched him right in the face, and finished him with the combat finisher. His head isn't off so he aint dead yet, I'm sure I'll see him as a Warchief later in the game, which sucks cause he is ranged, but I will await the day to meet him again.

[@richardrasmussen3820]

+Real Life Eddy ranged bosses are easy, if youre sneaky and fight him

[@jenot7164]

Nice, I think you get a trophy for killing him in the end.

[@colinwhitlock5148]

Richard Rasmussen all the bosses are to easy. I've just started trying to forge the perfect nemesis, but once you get the vault stun, they die so easily.

[@prime2243]

Wario Number 1 With Combat master they would be unstoppable

[@awesomedude2556]

I didn’t just have one or two nemesis I had 6 different orcs who would constantly team up and absolutely destroy me, I would try and ambush one of them, then two of the other orcs would suddenly pop up. They were unstoppable, I can’t even decide which one of them were my true rival, they’ve all killed me so many times

[@echo12345ish]

Did you ever beat them?

[@kingimasters2649]

​@@echo12345ishno one knows no one's heard from him since legends say he still fighting those same orcs till this day

[@TheFallenJ]

Earlier today I decapitated a freaking captain and he comeback like 3 hours later with an iron eye-patch on his eye or something demanding revenge, WTF!!!?

[@MrTurok999]

You must have pissed him off royally,came back from the dead he was so pissed

[@SavageGamerCA]

Someone placed a pirates head on his shoulders.

[@TheMrPROS]

Same thing happened to me except the guy came back 7 times

[@dylanmalone14]

It happen to me a little while ago. WTF is right

[@elPominator]

Seems a bit strange but... you know you can do that shit too right? wouldn't be fair if they couldn't cheat as well :P But in all seriousness, a decapitation seems a bit hard to walk away from, not sure how WBIE will address that

[@twinsenstwinsens]

6:21 "alot of planning and alot of ORChestrating"

[@sniperkitty3000xx]

nice

[@grifforuss8964]

exacly what i was thinking when he said that

[@atylerblack164]

There are so many things I love about this title, I never realized how well the death system works in the game until watching this video though. They handled death in a way that creates new opportunities, makes the game more challenging, and also gives more rewards in the end. Brilliant..

[@gri22lybear]

I'm almost 7.5hrs in and I love it. I will say it's the BEST open-world game that I have EVER played and also the best LOTR game of all time!!!!! Thank you Monolith Productions for creating my 2nd favorite game of all time and my first is "Condemned: Criminal Origins".

[@melissafuller8100]

How is it now 8 years later?

[@gri22lybear]

@@melissafuller8100 it’s Awesome, but no longer my fav Open-World game since so many others have released since then lol.

[@countbooga6997]

​@@gri22lybearI would say the only other open world games that are better than this are elden ring, horizon, Witcher 3, and Spiderman. This game is definitely top 10 open world games of all time imo

[@rafaelsotelo4668]

This game is my first stealth game that made me actually think about my strategies.

[@bveracka]

I love this game, but it takes time to play. It's best enjoyed for at least a couple hours at a time, otherwise I doubt you'll find it satisfying. I've really been taking my time with it, doing the side-quests to build-up my strength, and reading all the lore. I've clocked 19 hours and I'm just now about to get the branding ability! The progression (at least of your powers) feels a little slow, especially at first it can seem overwhelming. In the end, it makes for a very rewarding experience and it's one of a select few games I've given a 5/5 star rating on PSN.

[@TheoKandov]

Shadow of mordor > ac

[@kskinox3019]

Not even close, AC is away better.

[@vnukoded]

KS I so wut? Its still better.

[@fullcontenterror]

k skinox Last few ACs have been pretty shit compared to the older ones...

[@rh7201]

Rogue Warrior Lol, nicely put

[@Orshabaal]

KS I AC4 is literally the best AC so far (imo ofc, we are not the same). AC2 is the second best. SoM is a great game i had the opportunity to try it (an original one), i loved it, but AC's atmosphere is much better (imo again), but i don't think there is any point to compare them. 2 great games, and that's all.

[@octapusxft]

2:29 Yeah, I found that using baits to unleash like 8 Caragors at once can mean that they will eat the faces of every orc in the stronghold

[@GothamsMattman]

It's a gory awesome Arkham combat mixed with a little assassins creed seek abilities and the parts where your near death where you have to drag the joystiq into a certain spot and pressing a button reminds me of God of war a bit I love this game I don't know why people complain and say it's a rip off of other games they pooled together great aspects of other games and created an amazing game. Monolith impressed me

[@EQOAnostalgia]

i thought this was going to be just an assassins creed ripoff... i was so wrong.

[@flippityfloppity6213]

this is such a badass game. i love it it

[@arayaphornpraphan9678]

Combat system is actually deeper than I thought at first hour.

[@Mammothtankgrind]

So loving this title was worth the wait!!!

[@Futtiwar]

Just finished the game 15 minutes ago, amazing game 10/10 would play again.

[@EndlessElusion]

This Game is an Awesome Mix of Assassins Creed and Batman Arkham Series

[@gameisthegame5847]

I would even throw in tomb raider with the grittiness and open world aspects

[@MrJoking4fun]

This game is too hard sometimes. I think the one thing that this game forces you to do that no other game has ever done, is to force you to retreat. For me personally I have to bite my tongue every time that opportunity comes because you know you have to run, victory is impossible, you just cant bring yourself to run. Its just you cant win when you're facing 5 captains and a horde of orcs.

[@kevinwilson455]

I wouldn't say it was too hard. as long as you level up and get all your abilities! I could see some situations beings hard if I didn't decrease the finisher count or have certain moves

[@faasnuhind8578]

I feel that a main thing with numbers of enemies is consoles. I played all the way through on the 360 and never had a group of more than 20, yet I am trying the graphics on the one and such, and almost right off the bat, 30-35 uruks swarmed me in a stronghold.

[@mikelevine94]

That's what I like. It's hard to fight to many people so u need to strategies. Not like AC where u can rely on counters n insta-kills

[@MrRiskRunner]

I find it easy all you have to do is Parry and combat brand :/

[@juhabakapeci4108]

I feel the same way, it really is difficult for me to do, even when i know i have too. Some people who grow over confident like my cousin more often then not dont run, they fight to the end and die.

[@jefthereaper]

[@SavageGamerCA]

I got more then 20 hours on this game since release lol, I really enjoy it as you can see. I feel so badass with all of my epics and abilities and I'm just 50% done from completing it. I've just been messing around so much with this nemesis system that I hardly bothered to do anything else after the story to get 100%. :)

[@TheGomGomBoyThaiConsoleGamer]

unlock the blast ability , forgot what it's call but u need to do the main " yellow " mission , once u get it it became much easier , u can blast away all the swarm and it gives u a chance to finish them off , it generates every 8 sec though , so use it wisely

[@JohnSmith-ju9zd]

I love this game! Enemies pissed me off quite a few but that's the point! i miss this feeling when playing games. not unlike now where most games you just mash buttons to win. Earlier this day i threw away my controller out of rage because i couldn't kill this 1 Captain. lol

[@suddskys7482]

One of the best games ever. I'm having a blast of fun playing this game. I'm wondering when the new DLC arrive

[@nothankyoutube]

I'm only an hour in, and its a little confusing with the actual buttons, the tutorials are so quick, pretty much feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.

[@sergore]

I played it yesterday for 3 hours... I will start from scratch today 'cause I fucked up a lot for the same reasons man... fucking awesome game, though!

[@chaseholmes3323]

I agree, with all the powers there is a learning curve, but after I got through it, the game just got much better.

[@MasterLittica]

Sergio Ospina Game should be out here in the UK in the morning so im going to spend a few hours getting used to it, and stream it through the night And probably end up restarting again lol

[@fullcontenterror]

Imo the controls are better on PC because you have more buttons on your keyboard and you can rebind your keys.

[@MasterLittica]

***** Ah don't be too worried I was exaggerating quite a bit, just take your time any you will be find

[@haraldhwick]

1. Pick an orc 2. Strengthen the orc 3. Take(kill or dom) the orc 4. Return to step 1

OMG! dat ratbag in the background 3:50

[@aznericxD]

That's surprisingly neat- there's more of an incentive to play stealth now

[@swr1240]

3:55 sounds awesome! I haven't tried it yet. Can't wait to use it

[@glittch135]

I sent a warlord to screw up a new captain I was having trouble dealing with. The dude was 13 and nearly impossible to kill. "______ The Clever." He was using Tomahawks or Hatches, bleeding effect. Well... I didn't expect him to one shot my favorite kill all warchief... Especially with the 7 level gap difference... Needless to say, choosing between revenge and a powerful ally is sometimes hard...

[@luisangel444]

this tips help you at the beginning of the game, when the game is really interesting, and it is about killing, running, hiding, and dying. But later on it becomes a little bit boring, later on in the game you are so overpowered that there is no need to research anything, to hide from nobody, to escape, you can annihilate a full army, and even if it sounds cool (and to be sincere it is cool the first 10 minutes) is like playing a game whit cheats on: it will be a whole lot of fun, but afte 30 minutes you will be bored.

[@nybigmike22]

Just started playing this game a couple days ago. This game is very good

[@jamesmcgee3567]

My method: kill everything in sight. I don't need research, It's helpful but I don't need it

[@antivenom2789]

I jus stared the game I kill everyone no intel I straight go hunting big crowds too

[@farhanitube8075]

Anti Venom me too

[@BarcodeTeacup]

About 10 hours in and i am loving the game so far, the combat and nemesis system are amazing ive spent hours just messing with the enemies in the world. my only real complaint is the climbing traversal is pretty stiff compared to infamous or assassins creed

[@joeplay101]

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood: Arkham City: Orcs Edition. This game is amazing. I love it.

[@jameswayton2340]

This game is very good. Reminds me of prototype! Just powering up like crazy jhaha

[@collinmckenzie7626]

so much nuke nerdiness

[@GeneralG1810]

Great game hours of gameplay in it which is so rare in an SP game these days

[@therupoe]

I've got this big, fat captain that is always hunting me lol I love this game!

[@fgna87]

This game is very confusing because is a mix of EVERYTHING, but believe me, when you get the hang of it, you´ll say THIS SHIT IS AWESOME. I mean, looks like the world is alive, you´re just one NPC more, its like playing a complete simulation. This game i think, could have one of the highest replay values ever. The game is never gonna be the same, for example missing an arrow to the head of an orc captain can totally change the world. Kudos to creators!

[@RealLifeEddy2K]

fgna87 I open with a brutalize to show their buddies what I'm about. They run like little girls, one gets an arrow to the head their buddy I chase down and combat finish him on the ground, look around to see if any ladies saw me, sadly no :(. Oh well I will continue to kick a##.

[@deletekeys]

These tips are useless given they are literally given to you in game. Useful information would be telling people that the captains or warchiefs they should be branding should have zero fears while having immunity to combat finishers and ranged given those make up the majority of attacks when orcs fight each other. Something else that isn't made clear in the game is that orcs in the actual world become captains they don't just generate new ones when time passes. The more you brand the higher chance there is of a branded orc to join the ranks of captain. I've seen it happen at least half a dozen times already

[@111222joey222111]

Damn this game has sexy graphics

[@nowfelmostafa4456]

Lmao

[@jenot7164]

At the beginning of the game I always used to run away. I know I'm a coward.

[@farhanitube8075]

where is continue? new ring?

[@jamescraig3757]

I've had a playthrough where my most loyal orc was a crossbow Necro orc and he killed every Capt in a fortress way to high for my level , everytime they nearly killed me. Maybe 7-8 death throw in a row

[@lionerdious3180]

i had that too, an orc killed me, sent him a death threat, went with my war-chief and his two body guards douche slays us all. well he killed me first the rest were a piece of cake. when I finaly caught up with him he didn't see me coming

[@lj0339]

I feel like there was zero guidance on how this game works. I’m at the beginning and have just been killing the captains, but I think I was instructed to get info out of the Slaver, it the very first thing in the storyline. Should I not have killed him because I can’t get the info now? I haven’t seen an option to dominate them, but I guess I’ve just been doing stealth or ranged kills on them. Is it possible?

[@patryktrybuchowski7944]

Everytime when i kill captains, they keep coming back and thats the same with the warchiefs

[@doomjammer]

this guy looks so baked explaining the tips

[@Poodleinacan]

My definition of mestering the Nemesis System is to get a good Uruk and screw him up as much as I can... Then take control of them and have a walking battlefield as a pawn.

[@spencerfuller149]

I spend my time branding captains because the highest level rune I have ever gotten was a level 21 :| it is just a waste of time for me, branding captains can be multiple times as powerful as you are, the strategy is to make a branded captain a warcheif, give him tons of bodyguards and make him riot on all the others

[@micks701]

I have a question, is there an end to the nemesis system? For example, can you kill all the Uruks captains and war Chiefs so that there are no other Uruks to replace them? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm a noob

[@EvilJapanesePie]

no

[@bestotv999]

Installed today on my ps4, nothing special but game fells good :)

[@axelmalone2001]

Nothing special?! Nemesis system bruh

[@bestotv999]

Axel Malone I really like graphics but this games backs me in 2008 when i played naruto shipuden on my ps2, something like open world.... Gonna play it till end, i spend money :D

[@bravepart]

Hey I was wondering if you guys will PLEASE cover this for me, as it has not been covered by any major gaming channels, but I have discovered that ME:SOM will not include the Nemesis System on PS3/XB360 versions. Since discovering this, I have pulled my pre-order copy of the game until I see what's really going on, of course the game is still going to be a fantastic play, but with the Nemesis System being such a big deal in how the world works and reacts to the player, I will be less enthusiastic playing through without it. I'm just a little shook that there is no hardcore news about this on any major games news sources, and well at the least if you do make a video covering it, it will get loads of views. Just please, clear this up.

[@Xbox360CovSgtTater]

I'm getting it for ps3 too, it will have the nemesis system just not advanced and in dept as the next gen though.

[@Xbox360CovSgtTater]

go to yahoo.com and type in "shadow or mordor nemesis system ps3" it will be the one from videogamer.com

[@bravepart]

Cheers for the input good sir!

[@khornethegrim8258]

The only reason dying bothers me is the 5 minutes or takes to sit through the orc captain screen. I don't care which captain take out which or gets promoted. I want to get back in the game so I can continue my murder spree.

[@johnathonjaco6055]

i miss how badass the orcs used to look in shadow of mordor. they just look more comically goofy in shadow of war sadly

[@babufrik3897]

Am i the only one that still haven't gotten shadow of war instead of playing shadow of mordor? Plus still trying to master the nemesis system?

[@yoseph961]

let the warchiefs kill you a couple times so they reach level 20 and you're guaranteed an epic ruin

[@sparrow9635]

I burned a guy and stabbed a sword straight through his skull. About 2 hours later he ambushed me while I was on a slave mission with 3rd degree burn marks and some improvised cloth eyepatch wanting revenge. Just amazing.

Someone named Uruk Hollow did a video about that.

[@Luna-kw8rw]

Tip to kill Warchiefs: kill the bodywards first

[@SavageGamerCA]

and give the warchief 5 branded bodyguards for guaranteed success.

[@mikeb6410]

I wonder why they didn't put different difficulity modes? This games pretty easy. Fun, but easy so far.

[@ericcyr1981]

On xbox one what buttons do you have to press to make an ork or urk or carogos your own fighters?

[@popis3493]

I don't understand this powet struggle, I have two upgrade points and I can use it because it says I need more power struggles, and I don't know where to find them or how.

[@McJaggerbeck]

They are the red missions on the map. I'm very new to the game, so I don't understand it completely, but I think you also get power for killing captains

[@popis3493]

James P. Yes I am kind of new too, I didn't understand neither at the beginning, but now I do, the problem is that I needed to go foward in the mission with Ratbag to "unlock" more power struggles because they didn't appeard before (and that's why I didn't understand, they didn not appeard). Thanks

[@Jordun]

This game was too easy completed it in like 5 hours wish it had a difficultly and longer campaign can't wait for the dlc :)

[@cedricblondel1071]

Isit a way to see how much time you kill an orc or how much time they killed you ? Like a journal ? Or history log ? I don't find anything like that in the game

[@watenallace663]

after beating arkham asylum, arkham city, and arkham origins, this game is extremely easy for me, I beat the first first warchief in under 30 seconds i'm not even kidding, i'm hoping this game gets harder but it is still extremely fun and addicting

[@KartoPlays]

jeff philly I don't even remember what this was about? I think I stealth-killed him, so yeah. That prob. only takes 1 sec

[@johndada385]

I really need help because I bought Shadow of Mordor for my XboX 360 in Deluxe Edition with most of the DLC's but it has a ton of lag and when they talk their mouth doesn't open. Also, the bow is the glitchiest thing in the game. The arrow isn't straight and it's very annoying. Can someone help me fix it a bit?

[@johndada385]

Oh and I bought it at 29th of December if that helps.

[@XplosiveBaggins]

ROBO MANsters Well 2 month old comment, poor you. But seriously, the reason it does that is because the game is very glitchy and has many issues on ps3 and xbox 360. The last gen consoles can't handle it.

[@johndada385]

That's why. Because it was so glitchy and I got bored and I didn't want to do it a 100% completion.

[@SuperSquishface]

I love this game & would give it a 8-9/10 but it's a big shame to of learned about this payola stuff. Come on WBID.

[@littlefrank90]

So I see everyone dominating orcs and making armies, I'm guessing you have to unlock that ability with the main quests..? Or am I missing something?

[@brykage044]

Yes can unlock through progress of the game

[@user-cu8co9pf1u]

I got an AD for IGN.

[@andreasdbzz9961]

When I was watching gameplay there were only heads cutting off in slow motion. Now I have the game and I can just rush them. I have to unlock the runes to get those combos??

[@RealLifeEddy2K]

andreasdbzz 99 Cutting heads off is when your sword goes fiery yellow, you hit F and it combat f's them up, loving it.

[@andreasdbzz9961]

Edizzle yeah I am ok now, I have all the abilities unlocked.

[@martindimitrov516]

Most boring ending ever.

I can't figure out how to do the execution ability. can someone please help me

[@pandejsal4634]

lol it's a joke right?

[@40mm-Grenade]

I don't know man.

[@CyBeRnetX1]

Took me some time too. But the only time you can do an execution is when your sword glows blue, that is when your hit-streak in the upper left corner glows red. Then press the execution button ( Im on PS4 so for me it's Triangle+Circle )

[@40mm-Grenade]

Oh ya you can unlock an ability to get execution's faster so instead of like 8 hits to get it it's now 5.

[@CyBeRnetX1]

Yeah that was one of my first and best ability unlocks :D

[@hellospiral9335]

No. 6 is invalid. If you have the skill that you can kill dominated orcs (don't know its name) you can kill him after he isn't useful anymore,, therfore getting his rune.

[@tiseenderwelke]

arent they technicaly Uruk Hai ?

[@moonsets-on_you]

Lol the people who kept dieing by one orc is gonna hate them if they use Nemesis Forge

[@normanlindsay9285]

Is there a difficulty level option? That is my major question far as my decision whether to buy or not, I will buy if I can set it to a Hard or Expert level so I could enjoy difficult combat and a chess like game strategy from the Nemesis system. If someone could give me a factual answer it would be very appreciated and deserving of multiple cookies and milk =)

[@Jepmusik]

I have not seen a difficulty setting so far. However, there are various challenge modes, bonus objectives, and other miscellaneous tasks that give the game the added difficulty. I suggest buying it, the nemesis system is loads of fun to manipulate.

[@normanlindsay9285]

Thanks for the input.

[@zachmarter137]

In order to increase your difficulty, say on a war chief, dominate a captain and send him a death threat. He will increase in power, his bodyguards will be around him and he will always be protected by a gang. Btw death threat is an ability so if u don't have it, the n u will have to wait to unlock it

[@AaronElWhite]

"ORC"estrating your army. :)
