Absolute legend. Comes back after two years and immediately finds a way to circumvent *No Chance.* How amazing is that?

[@GoldieMethrans]

What´s even better is that it´s *easier* to do that in here than in SoM :,D

[@trizick5379]

@@GoldieMethrans is there a specific button to press or is it random

[@GoldieMethrans]

@@trizick5379 From what I saw, it´s 3-6 random buttons that are randomly selected to pass Last Chance and in No Chance case, you need to blind guess which one was selected to circumvent it (as well as you need to have a Last Chance to be able to do it). I only know of 2, E and Left Mouse Button.

[@UruksHollow]

Hello again! I hope you enjoyed this video! Got a couple things to add: Several of the tricks in the video were not discovered by me. Some of them, like the Caragor instant kill have been in use by the speedrunning community for quite a while. I normally give credit for stuff like this, but I am not sure of who discovered what. Also, there are quite a bit more glitches I know that didn't make it to this video, either because I don't fully understand them yet, or because they are downright useless (who would want to fall through the map consistently...?). There is a possibility of a second compilation later, or I might make individual videos for the best ones. See you on the next video! EDIT: Some clarification for the Waters of Lórien might trick: you need to also have Fatal Might active. I apologize for not having this information on the video. I always have Fatal Might on and didn't realize it was interaction of the two that was causing it.

[@cayuga2572]

It is good to see you again!

[@terminaut9497]

great to see your stuff. did you ever get my message about the hidden fear in orc captains? I managed to terrify hacked overlords by causing fear in them enough

[@UruksHollow]

Believe I did. I have known about being able to terrify Overlords for a really long time. TBH I was under the impression most people knew about it.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@UruksHollow I’ve only ever terrified online overlords burying them under a massive horde of undying tide of undead orcs. The undead will never kill the overlord and his guards, _especially_ if one or all of them are berserkers and/or tanks. But as long as I farm might and health from the mewling grunts in a corner, I can indenfinetly sustain and build up a tide of murderous corpses that’ll happily tarpit the overlord until he has a mental breakdown.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@UruksHollow Oh, I had a question that had long plagued me: Back in the day, there was a glitch that could turn normal and epic captains into legendary captains with three or more epic traits. Have you found a way to replicate that since they patched it?

[@laylaruan]

0:20 in the first game there was actually special dialogue for when a captain gets frustrated and leaves while you’re out of reach. Stuff like “I don’t have time for this idiocy!”

[@deanvalentine8509]

Honestly such a shame this game didn't get more support and content. Such a missed opportunity.

[@UruksHollow]

Absolutely. At the very least I wanted for the last few big bugs to get a fix, but that never happened. From what i gather talking to some devs, they wanted to continue work with Shadow of War for a little longer, but their next project needed all hands on deck.

[@calebcuyler7135]

[@Xiaorew999]

Looks like it's time for me to do another playthrough again... I have missed this feeling of motivation to play this game tho I thank you my good sir.

This is exactly what I was thinking... I think it is time for me to get all the trophies on my ps4, to go along with my 100% achievements on my pc

[@kennethgrey7829]

Same thing happened to me, I lost interest after I beat the game and all DLC so I quit, but now I am motivated to play it once again.

[@apocalypticfuryflame]

I'm one of the people who discovered some other different tricks and glitches, but they didn't seem 100% consistent so I didn't post a video on them. Amazing finds. I actually did some of these glitches before but didn't realize how well they work in consistency. Amazing video.

[@UruksHollow]

Awesome! Which ones did you find, if I may ask? I had similar things happen when many of the tricks in the videos. The caragor instant kill, for example, I had it happen shortly after the game released on Zog, but had no clue of what had just happened. The focus consumption during sprint, I knew about it for a long time, but never spoke out about it, and the speedrunning community discovered it eventually, so i can't take credit for it, either.

[@apocalypticfuryflame]

@@UruksHollow I can send you the link to the short video that I made on them if you're interested? I found fewer than you did but they work.

[@apocalypticfuryflame]

@@UruksHollow kzbin.info/www/bejne/bl6QmHmliJKFj68 It's a very old video so please excuse anything if it's not of best quality. I did however show the tricks/glitches in action the best way possible.

[@Alpha545]

I didn't know half of these and they're going to be very useful! While I doubt I was the first guy to figure them out, I have done videos on some of these tricks :) (Might on Waters of Lorien, Infinite Elf-Shot, Caragor Insta-kill glitch) I've actually got a glitch to add: you can stealth drain Olog grunts from above by using Olog Lord and Quiver of Souls or the Wrath on Drain (I forgot the name of that skill). It doesn't actually seem to do anything useful, but the animation plays.

[@firewolf5971]

This was a year ago, so you probably played the game and learned what the skill was again, but it was the Consume skill

[@Alpha545]

@@firewolf5971 I'm actually talking about using the subskills 'Quiver of Souls' or 'Bright Lord's Wrath' from the skill 'Drain', as well as the subskill 'Olog Lord' from the skill 'Consume'. And yeah, I had to look that up :P Just to clarify :)

There's always something new to discover in this game! Not just glitches, either. Every now and then, I come across an interaction with a Captain I had no idea existed.

[@LilGamingYes]

@@UruksHollow I had one earlier say "Of all the scum I could've betrayed I had to betray the one who can actually defeat me in combat. I'm an idiot." I came back to this game like 3 days ago, but I don't remember seeing that one before. It had me laughing for 5 minutes!

[@GeeseAreDeadly]

Holy shit, he has returned

[@matchunga]

When I thought you already revealed everything the game has to offer, you come with new content. Keep it up buddy, you are the best!

[@hewhoisme4343]

Not a glitch, but since daggers do so much damage, throw your best life steal gem on it and use brutalize kills as much as you can, in my first play through I used brutalize a lot and it is ridiculously powerful, since life steal is based off of the amount of damage you do. When you do a brutalize kill, all of the strikes Talion does give you health.

[@Dovah_Slayer]

it even works on captains as brutalize does more stealth damage than regular stealth attack

[@zeph5800]

Huge thanks for the hammer AoE healing, didn't think of that before. The fights are so much easier now

[@zssdfounder4607]

I knew some of these, I learned of a fiew from another video, and now I've learned more from you I'll have to try these out :)

[@alinkbetweengames4328]

7:02 A similar thing happens if you don't have 4 Captains when you first take Nurnen. In addition to the Overlord and 2 Warchiefs, a follower Captain is needed to appear in the mission "The Fight Pits".

[@riseofzen]

"Waters of Lorien" NEEDS "Fatal Might" to generate might, without FM your combo counter will still increase by dashing though It's been mentioned in another thread but I'm just saying it again to make it easier to find And honorary mention, if you ever get your hands on an epic sword that says "Gain 10 wrath on an execution".....aka Wrathgiver DON'T EVER GET RID OF IT..........it's the most bugged weapon in the best way possible

[@cbrock68]

I just started playing this game again today

[@kensavage7657]

This list is incredible! I'm going to have to rewatch this video multiple times. I've just hit act 4 and the game has got a bit harder - many of these tips will help me a LOT!

[@Raxtalion]

Looks like some fun stuff to try out. I keep going back to this game. It's probably my favorite. Can't wait to see those other glitches/tricks. I managed to fall out of the map before myself, captain grabbed me at the edge of nurn and I guess it pushed me outside the boundaries. I fell for less than a minute and then it just passed time like I died. Nobody even got credit for the kill. So yeah that doesn't seem to helpful. Also, something I noticed in my own game before, in a fortress siege, all the grunts spawn endlessly, so in my one case, they had pretty much killed all the captains and taken the points before I finished with the first 2 captains. I didn't take any of my own captains to the siege either. I suppose if you're lazy you can just sit there and let all the random orcs do the work.

[@aurum-anadeus4875]

yeah i noticed that too. i found it a good low risk way to take forts, especially difficult ones, conserving your strength for the captains

Not sure if you have seen it yet, but I accidently discovered a new glitch last night while speedrunning, we can now instakill Orcs and Nazgul as long as they are near stairs. even works on usually immune mobs like Bruz (during damaged mission) leading to an interesting time.
