The Collector pays his debts - New Nemesis | Shadow of War

[@jacksonhandshoe290]

Having brutal on is a lot more entertaining to watch, seeing him die a lot and go absolutely nuts on some random AI is the best part of his play throughs.

[@NothinbutRye]

Yeah, but I’d rather he not get really pissed and leave the game, that would kinda suck

[@noahthompson3451]

I kind of wish he had it on Gravewalker but Gravewalker can be borderline insanity inducing and seeing how much he's dieing already I think this is fine.

[@ryanwilson5971]

At least on brutal they die just as fast as you do, I play on grave walker where you get tapped you die and execution takes a sliver of their health

[@LordDarkhelm]

@@noahthompson3451 I played on Gravewalker. I hated my life. The adaptation rate was the worst part. You do so much less damage, and so eventually they adapt to literally everything. Just perfect.

[@noahthompson3451]

@@LordDarkhelm That's kind of the point of Gravewalker and while I'm not usually a fan of difficulty settings that are just unreasonable in this game it can be fun to die. And about the adaptation thing, The biggest tip I can give you is to go out of your way to find intel and find out weaknesses, because even if they don't have anything major like a fear they always have something like takes more damage from stealth attacks. I don't even know if they can adapt to something like that because I haven't seen it. Also a weird thing I didn't even know till my second playthrough of the game if you execute with a second/full bar of meter it does SIGNIFICANTLY more damage compared to the pixels that the normal execute does. And if an orc is giving you a lot of trouble send one of you guys to kill him, especially sense they made training orders not pay to play you'll be able to customize him to take advantage of any weaknesses the orc may have.

I had a dream where prak returned, it was amazing

[@jgiuliano7401]

It would be glorious for us and terrifying for Bret

[@lancecurry7538]

Funny... I recently branded an Uruk with twin axes and a metal mask exactly like Prâk's, but he spoke normal, and he's enraged by injury, like Krûk. His name is Stakûga the Angry, and he is probably the deadliest Uruk in Seregost right now.

[@lordqwertythepyromancer3458]

Guys, we are already being haunted by prak's infinite amount of reincarnations. Never mind the fact that bloodstorm has returned

[@GamingAndFilmKnowledge]

I have recently branded an Uruk that has some sort of Jon Snow getup going! (No, I’m being serious)

[@armiproductions5680]

And thus a new incarnation of Prak/Kruk was born.

If he's not an amalgamation of all Great Nemeses, that is.

Imagine Ukrom comes back after beating him, then he becomes Blood Brothers with The Collector

[@azurehorizon6097]

Something similar happened to me with 2 Uruks named Skoth and Skun, both of them became ruinous and were also blood brothers, sadly Skun didn't survive my Shadow Wars and Skoth is the last member of the ruined as I called them both but he won't be dying anytime soon

[@chriskoloski32]

Things Brett forgot: uruks rise up to around your level if they kill you, and standing near explosive barrels hurts

[@sithmaster4305]

Bret getting mad over the ghoul lovers never gets old. I also love how he came back IMMEDIATELY after the generic ghoul got him.

[@szymon3008]

I mean the ghul lover is real strong, he can summon normalnie, poison and quenn ghouls (sorry autocorrect + bad English)

[@ryderwilliams5072]

its been like 4 years and i still love these shadow of war vids

[@lancasterchurch4747]

Gruk keeps collecting himself back up after each death. Truly is irony

[@richardendresz161]

A really hilarious thing has happened to me in this game. A nemesis who cheated death found me fighting a different captain and told me that I made him what he is. So he tried to interrupt my fight almost killing me a couple of times up until I decapitated the captain I hunted in front of him and he just starts running away like a bitch. I laughed so hard I let him go

[@noahkarottu7783]

I love the stupid and equally amazing interactions this game has. If you have the ability to just laugh at inconveniences it makes it so much more enjoyable than getting frustrated

[@Kabirdix]

The Normal vs. Brutal dynamic regarding story missions sounds good. It is a little odd that the nemesis system rewards you mostly for dying but that's a good system to take advantage I reckon

[@CovertOperative13]

Was that a "The Butcher and The Blade" tag team reference? Truly a man of (bloody) taste, I see.

[@thekingofrockin7944]

I like how the collector got the eye back he LOST after cheating death the first time, only to seemingly lose the other one 😆

[@deltaknight2764]

He lost his good one last time and the Uruk rebuilders couldn't remember which socket it was supposed to go into.

[@RubyGalaxyYT]

That was quite gripping, yes for brutal difficulty!

[@flakknight3761]

Bruhhh so truee

[@quackquack8775]

Brutal's the easiest difficulty imo, you kill captains way too fast

[@LilGamingYes]

To be fair when you are low levels without any skills whatsoever it is difficult! It gets easier quickly but ToG isn't there yet...

[@giantWario]

Gravewalker is just tedious. It takes so long to kill anything that it starts feeling more like you're playing a MMO. Normally I feel great after getting through a tough challenge in a video game but on Gravewalker I just feel tired. Sure even Brutal can be easy once you have good gear but at least the game remains fun.

[@John-Stark]

Brutal's funner though

[@OperatorSadge]

This isn’t the series we wanted. It’s the one we needed

[@robertcontento7748]

[@NatsuDragn33I]

BTW, it's a great idea to turn down the difficulty during story missions and raise it for everything else.

[@nathams42]

Oh yeah...Brutal is...indeed...brutal. But it makes it quite fun. I'm ok with watching you grind through the first stages. If anything it makes it more rewarding when you succeed.

[@davish7864]

Hey Brett! Here's a pro tip for you, get all the collectibles in both regions you have unlocked currently! That's like 6 free skill points! The Haedir, the Gondorian Artifacts (btw you can actually skip Idril's annoying monologue by immediately pressing the button that opens the map, believe it or not it ACTUALLY WORKS!) and Shelob Memories. Also, there's an Epic Tier Sword that is AMAZINGLY OVERPOWERED on Brutal Difficulty. It's called Humiliator, it gives you 10 seconds of Unlimited Might after killing a Captain, however it's quite a rare drop, but somehow I got it while killing a Captain with an Execution while Elven Rage was active on Brutal Difficulty. But trust me man, that kind of power is worth grinding for.

[@VeryDShelf]

Well if anyone wants tear to survive longer, I recommend using the green runes for the lifesteal.

Brutal is always good, more because it is harder sure, so more deaths is expected, but like with Ishmol, that means more orcs get promoted and we see more commander orcs and could potentially come across some rather entertaining ones, so I'm all for that. Also enjoying the videos with the doing what you feel like approach and would also gladly watch a series on anything, so it's good to see that you're putting out stuff you want to play and having fun with it!

In Shadow of Mordor, I had an allied grunt get upgraded to captain and slip into my ranks when I wasn't looking. After wiping out all possible nemesis, the one chosen for me was another Ishmoz. In Shadow of War, I got another Ishmoz in a chest. Some time later, a 4th Ishmoz ambushed me. Now after all this time, you find the fifth way you can get an Ishmoz in this game and he's your first. I just can't get away from Ishmoz it seems.
