If the tower from his last playthrough was that brutal, it would be a very good idea for him to get one. Also I don't know why, but every time I see the tower in a playthrough, he just seems to be nearly invincible, especially when on low health Ironically.

[@DmitryKurushin]

@@ndt_dynamite2247 not yet, but if he continues the story without killing the Tower, there's a good chance the guy will follow Talion into the next region to kill him.

[@SheppardOfNumenor]

Good afternoon, Brett, I thought you might want to know about the sliding option as you could apply that instead of vaulting. The Uruks and Ologs cannot block you nor obstruct your way as it might be for the situations in which you are getting gangbanged more than a prostitute in South Vietnam during the Vietnam/ American War (The Vietnamese call it the "American war" sometimes). For myself, I play on the PS5 and the sliding option is triggered by tapping the L2 button. Keep up the grand work, sir!

[@DarkmegaGaming]

time to get all those collectables. they give you a skill point when you get the lot (in both minas ithil AND cirith ungol). just focus them down real quick and unlock all your base skills so you've got fight options, then do the outposts, they give a lot of xp and at low level the captain is usually easily dealt with. just don't grab the celebrimbor armor etc till atleast maybe level 20 so it's at a decent benchmark of power. also, life steal gems onto your stealth and melee, wealth on your armors and power on the bow for some high burst. stealth gem on your melee, you can grab a dude and shank him a couple times to pretty well get all your health back. Same with brutalize, if you can get that off on anyone (like a terrified enemy whos running away or some foes startled by the freeze pin skill upgraded with terror), thats a full bar of health once you've got atleast a tier 3 life steal gem.

Get all the minor collections, such as Shelob's memories and the gondorian artifacts. And Celebrimbor missions. (4 of them in the starting area) You get 1 skill point for each, so there is a potential of 6 skill points, to gain, without needed to level up.

Try needing to fight 5-7 Captains all at once, that's Nemesis difficulty-rate ambushes. 😂😂 Also, a bit of a correction regarding Shadows of the Past missions: there's 4 standard ones and 1 Ancient Warchief one you get after you complete those 4 ... and what's even better, those Ancient Warchief missions reveal who exactly is preserved in a sarcophagus you see when you unlock the Ithildin Door in the region you're in (where you get Bright Lord gear piece). ;D
