I had a lot of setbacks while recording these. It all started when my controller broke. This was supposed to be out yesterday but for some reason it took an awful long time to upload. Here is it now. I'm working on some stuff I'm sure you guys will love (if I pull it off, of course...)
I swear, after 170 hours of running around just killing orcs, I had one come back from the dead twice a couple days ago. Seems you don't run out of reviving orcs, they just get really rare.
Uruk's Hollow what do you think about complete list of epic runes? Can you do that? p.s. Very good job with videos, a lot of new information about SoM mechanics and gameplay. Well done.
There are a few things you missed. If you vault over units the bleed effect will stop ticking as long as you continue to do it. Vaulting over someone as well as preparing your bow and arrow will automatically charge your bow
Here's another tip: If you are chasing a running Uruk, and you do not have any elf-shot (or any skills that will help you catch up), you can tap the drain button. This will stagger him and allow you to catch up.
you should do a walk through for your first SOW run. even if there isn't commentary it'd be interesting to see how you play through the game the first time.
You can also use the elf-shot recovery rune (forgot its official name) which stacks with multiple runes on your bow. You can easily get 33% chance to recover +2 arrows after firing the bow, which means for every 2 or 3 arrows you shoot you can recover 2 arrows at LEAST. There's another rune that can stack to give your 50% chance to recover +2 elf-shot when you fire an arrow when mounted on a caragor. Combine these with the rune that replenishes focus when your hit streak is charged (forgot that one's name too) and you essentially get unlimited arrows and focus as long as you discharge your hit streak (fire arrow) and keep charge it with arrow shots. Perfect for archer builds. You can take a graug down without ever leaving focus (the trick is to headshot them with fire arrows, which drains their health rapidly). P.S: Subscribed. Awesome vid and cannot wait to see what you do with SOW.
(RIVER OF ARROWS: Up to 25% chance to recover +1 elf shot after firing the bow) . I have combined 5 of em, i never lose arrows unless i shadow strike (i need all 5 slots to be river of arrows elsewose it's not 100% chance
A trick I found is when you're jumping off a high ledge and doing the animation where you land on one knee you can go into elven swiftness instead if you start the jump in wraith form and change halfway through.
I dont know if many know this but when facing a captain, after ground executing (RT+x) you can immediately execute (Y+B) cancelling the animation of the ground execute
I remember being on the back of a graug as it got killed. the game still thought i was on its back as it fell sideways. for awhile i ran horizontally across the screen. best bug i've ever seen it was hilarious.
Thanks! Even though I’ve finished the story and gotten all Artifacts and Ithildin, branded every captain and warchief in Nûrn, I still like looking at these vids.
Brand and Vault Over one is immensely useful in the self-imposed Hardcore mode where you need to complete the game and unlock no more than 2 skills - one of them is a Death Threat. Thanks for these videos, love them.
Another Lure of Power ability, it works before you get the brand ability, I got it a little bit before the Hammer fight and I can brand enemies already. It may be a glitch but I'm not sure, I only got it because I sent a death threat against a warchief. Edit: Lure of power before getting brand definitely isn't a glitch
I've also found a trick involving combat drain and the brutal stealth kill. Mind you this only works before you gain the brand ability. Anyway, once you combat drain a normal, they go out of combat, and you can stealth kill them for an easy kill. But if you have the brutal stealth kill, and the lowered hit streak skill, you can brutalise them and charge your streak. And repeat until all the enemies have either been killed or have fled in terror. It really is handy if you have these skills and are hugely outnumbered. However like I said, once you receive the brand ability later on in the campaign, this trick doesn't work anymore.
bro you put so much effort in your videos and i dont think you get enough recognition, i just wanna say that keep doing what you're doing because you're probably a very genuine youtuber who's very passionate about making videos and entertaining people because of how good your videos/thumbnails and information is on the content you're based around. i'm gonna subscribe because i can't wait to see where this channel ends up, no doubt in my mind that you'll grow quick.
For 'Beck and Call', I found it most helpful when gaining Intel and delivering Death Threats faster than finding Worms. For leveling Branded Captains I would use a method that involves making a said Captain into a Bodyguard for a Warchief, now each Bodyguard can have one Master/Warchief at a time, but you can also have that same Captain go through Initiation of a new Warchief. This leaves the Captain in a position of switching from one Warchief to the next. In addition, you would also need to make sure you Captain completes his trials for each Warchief to gain Power Levels. I would do this as a way to level up Branded Captains, then have the maxed level Captains become Bodyguards for one Warchief (for example: 20 Bodyguards for one Warchief at Power Level 20 [having these same Bodyguards with Death Threats already on them helps increase Epic Rune pops]). When I 'Beck and Call' the Warchief wth 20 max level Bodyguards, I hit the Dispatch button and watch as a mixture of white, blue, and epic emerge from their corpses.
Most of these I figured out when I was bored like the Morgai fly explosion I had no one to shoot with a fire arrow so I just thought "I would really like to terrorize some uruk's that are not in my range" so I did fire arrow and then, an explosion came out of the nest
If a captain has a weakness to Strealth and you instantly stealth kill them and they are death threat'ed. They will always/have a high chance of dropping a stealth epic rune. So if you attack a captains weakness they will drop that rune
0:57 seconds in the bane of my existence in my second run of This game.. I died to him and his goons repeatedly until I saw this video and now Tugog is nothing but mere food for the worms
The last one actually happened to me twice on accident last week. I was kind of confused when I was only after killing the captain then he gets back up and starts fighting me again lol.
Keep on uploading your content is great and you can clearly see that you put time and effort into making these videos can't wait to see more shadow of mordor and shadow of war gameplay
Well, by pure luck while farming Epic Runes. You just have to keep sending Death Threats and killing those Captains until you get it. Since it is an Epic rune, the more Epics you already have, the better the chances of getting it.
i think there was some place in nurnen where a fight between an uruk and a caragor happens, and if the uruk wins he will be promoted to a captain, could you possibly promote your own grunts this way? oh man... this game series has a tremendous amount of potential but i can see only a portion of it being used!
So I played Shadow of Mordor a while back and i branded every uruk exept for the one who wont revive or just dissapear. He was the first uruk i killed (i didnt do the missions because i thought i was to weak).
So the Talons of the Black Hand can be branded? That's pretty awesome, but I'm guessing they don't stick around in the army screen after the final mission? Would've been cool to make each of the five talons a warchief
You can brand Ghul Queens if thier health drops low enough, allthough they don't seem to be fighting other ghuls, and the only way to notice that they're branded are thier glowing blue eyes.
A few days ago I skipped the last chance by somehow glitching through the ground. I appeared very near to the fight, but I was alive and the uruks were no longer triggered. I don´t know how to reproduce this.
With Combat Masters, you cannot use this trick. Draining cannot be interrupted if they have that trait. Though, a Defender with Combat Master and Vault Breaker would be borderline invincible in combat. I would just use a different strategy to beat him.
+Uruk's Hollow I once fought a Beserker cap that I had no way of defeating with melee, range, or stealth. I had nearby ally grunts whack him, and interrupted him if he tried to retaliate. He died in about a minute.
+ Uruk's Hollow if the enemy is invincible, i just combat branded nearer uruks...especially Beserkers and Shield men and the guy's head turned to green within a second! and I hold him and decapitated him.
How/where do you get the combat music files from? I cant find any in the OST's on TH-cam. Specifically Uruks Hollow combat theme when the alarm is sounded
Love your Videos i love Shadow of Mordor and i think you are the first channel thats based around the game :D One Question: Are you just make Shadow of Mordor/War videos or maybe i dont know another game or a FaQ video?
Just SoM/SoW videos. I do glitch other games for my own entertainment. Been doing it since 2003 but back then I didn't have a means to record what I did so I got tagged as a troll everytime.
I have a question. The Vendetta missions have you avenge a defeated player by killing the captain that killed them, correct? If you succeed in killing the captain, does he die in the other players game too?
This guy is going to go absolutely crazy when SOW comes out. And I cant wait
*I'M* going to go absolutely crazy when SOW comes out.
Aren't we all?
i'm already crazy before it came out
LOL already ahead of you. I can't wait to see how big hegets
He did
I had a lot of setbacks while recording these. It all started when my controller broke. This was supposed to be out yesterday but for some reason it took an awful long time to upload. Here is it now.
I'm working on some stuff I'm sure you guys will love (if I pull it off, of course...)
Uruk's Hollow Rah
I swear, after 170 hours of running around just killing orcs, I had one come back from the dead twice a couple days ago. Seems you don't run out of reviving orcs, they just get really rare.
Uruk's Hollow what do you think about complete list of epic runes? Can you do that? p.s. Very good job with videos, a lot of new information about SoM mechanics and gameplay. Well done.
There's a few Epic Runes not available on Xbox One, unfortunately.
There are a few things you missed. If you vault over units the bleed effect will stop ticking as long as you continue to do it. Vaulting over someone as well as preparing your bow and arrow will automatically charge your bow
That Morgai flie explosion was sick! can't believe I never knew about it
If you want to avoid the explosion you can also shadow strike an enemy inside or outside the blast and keep your hitstreak.
Uruk: "WELCOME TO URUK'S HOLLOW"
Me: *faints*
Uruk: *Looks at me* "LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU!"
Slap Slap Slap Clap Clap Clap xd
Your name is the best I have seen on TH-cam 😂😂
Here's another tip:
If you are chasing a running Uruk, and you do not have any elf-shot (or any skills that will help you catch up), you can tap the drain button.
This will stagger him and allow you to catch up.

russell phillips yes pls Uruk's hollow
Nothing makes me happier than seeing another Uruk's hollow video be uploaded!
MrBlaster500 agreed!
MrBlaster500 same
Already knew the lure of power thing. The other stuff was new to me. thank you.

huh that's quite useful, I know I've done it once but didn't remember how : D
Tip number two is VERY helpful. I'll have to try and remember this for my next playthrough.
I dont know if many know this but when facing a captain, after ground executing (RT+x) you can immediately execute (Y+B) cancelling the animation of the ground execute
I remember being on the back of a graug as it got killed. the game still thought i was on its back as it fell sideways. for awhile i ran horizontally across the screen. best bug i've ever seen it was hilarious.
just realized that celebrimbor has one hell of a backhand slap.
Thanks! Even though I’ve finished the story and gotten all Artifacts and Ithildin, branded every captain and warchief in Nûrn, I still like looking at these vids.
This is a great video. That arrow teleport and then stealth attack could be vital for some of the dagger missions. Thanks for the vid.
I'm really loving all of your content! It's really nice and it explains stuff well. Really nice job! I'm just hyping up for Shadow of War.
Man Shadow of mordor really went into detail in decapitations.
The last one is absolute gold. Thanks for uploading this
Brand and Vault Over one is immensely useful in the self-imposed Hardcore mode where you need to complete the game and unlock no more than 2 skills - one of them is a Death Threat.
Thanks for these videos, love them.
The only one I didn't know was the Lure of Power one, but that's gonna be my new favorite trick, I think :) Thanks for sharing
Another Lure of Power ability, it works before you get the brand ability, I got it a little bit before the Hammer fight and I can brand enemies already. It may be a glitch but I'm not sure, I only got it because I sent a death threat against a warchief.
Edit: Lure of power before getting brand definitely isn't a glitch
This guy is gonna blow up when SOW comes out
It really brings back memories, loved the thrill of this game.
Wow I never thought I'd see any thing that I didn't already know but this was very useful thanks very informative
WELCOME TO URUKS HOLLOW!
ME:*Screeching inaudible*
Just started playing this game again. Thanks for the tips, this will help me a lot.
i love how in only 6 months you have almost reached 10k subscribers. For such a brand new tuber your content is A+
For the stun cancel you can just grab hold of them and it'll have the same effect.
I've also found a trick involving combat drain and the brutal stealth kill. Mind you this only works before you gain the brand ability. Anyway, once you combat drain a normal, they go out of combat, and you can stealth kill them for an easy kill. But if you have the brutal stealth kill, and the lowered hit streak skill, you can brutalise them and charge your streak.

However like I said, once you receive the brand ability later on in the campaign, this trick doesn't work anymore.
*normal uruk.
Hey, thanks! I'm currently on The Bright Lord and that rune might just help me! ^_^
bro you put so much effort in your videos and i dont think you get enough recognition, i just wanna say that keep doing what you're doing because you're probably a very genuine youtuber who's very passionate about making videos and entertaining people because of how good your videos/thumbnails and information is on the content you're based around. i'm gonna subscribe because i can't wait to see where this channel ends up, no doubt in my mind that you'll grow quick.
The vault breaker one and Morgai fly one I already knew haha
I love this
When you will gain 500 000 subscribers, I'll be able to say "I'm here since 1600 subscribers"
Paweł Mulak same
Paweł Mulak he'll get like a 100000 when shadow of war comes out
And I can say I was around since 200
I WAZ FIRST!
Paweł Mulak lol I'll be saying been here since 70
For 'Beck and Call', I found it most helpful when gaining Intel and delivering Death Threats faster than finding Worms. For leveling Branded Captains I would use a method that involves making a said Captain into a Bodyguard for a Warchief, now each Bodyguard can have one Master/Warchief at a time, but you can also have that same Captain go through Initiation of a new Warchief.

When I 'Beck and Call' the Warchief wth 20 max level Bodyguards, I hit the Dispatch button and watch as a mixture of white, blue, and epic emerge from their corpses.
DISPATCH counts as making the final hit, so to say.
I thought this will probably be a dumb list of obvious stuff, I was wrong.
great stuff.
Most of these I figured out when I was bored
like the Morgai fly explosion
I had no one to shoot with a fire arrow so I just thought
"I would really like to terrorize some uruk's that are not in my range"
so I did fire arrow and then, an explosion came out of the nest
If a captain has a weakness to Strealth and you instantly stealth kill them and they are death threat'ed. They will always/have a high chance of dropping a stealth epic rune.
So if you attack a captains weakness they will drop that rune
You make fantastic content. I enjoy watching all of your videos and can't wait for you to review shadow of war. Keep up the amazing work.
0:57 seconds in the bane of my existence in my second run of This game.. I died to him and his goons repeatedly until I saw this video and now Tugog is nothing but mere food for the worms
Insanely awesome video pls upload as much as you can!
Thanks for the epic vid!
Awesome video man,I would love if you can do one with all the possible Warchief missions,as I'm not sure I've encountered each one.
The last one actually happened to me twice on accident last week. I was kind of confused when I was only after killing the captain then he gets back up and starts fighting me again lol.
Holy Uruk! Thanks for that Vault Breaker tip!
Keep on uploading your content is great and you can clearly see that you put time and effort into making these videos can't wait to see more shadow of mordor and shadow of war gameplay
how many hours do you have on the game wraith-demon?
04:20:works reverse to, i had an explosive arrow fired at me and i identified him and when i got out i was fine
Yeah, this channel is gonna be as big as Arkham Videos soon, isn't it (:
"FUCK! MY HEAD IS NOT FOLLOWING MY BODY!"
Hey uruk's hollow i have a question
how did you get lure of power? i've never sesn that rune yet it seems very intresting
Well, by pure luck while farming Epic Runes. You just have to keep sending Death Threats and killing those Captains until you get it. Since it is an Epic rune, the more Epics you already have, the better the chances of getting it.
thanks!
P.S. does shank grabs count as acharn kills?
Great video mate 👍🏻
I really enjoyed this game, was worth every penny
So the heads are alive after being cut off? Holy shot the bag heads make a lot more sense now.
I love this channel can't wait to see you do shadow of war
you still upload the old shadow of morder videos :D, cool. Subbed.
You sir, have a very interesting playstyle here ^^. Not to mention all those runes lying around in your world :P
i think there was some place in nurnen where a fight between an uruk and a caragor happens, and if the uruk wins he will be promoted to a captain, could you possibly promote your own grunts this way? oh man... this game series has a tremendous amount of potential but i can see only a portion of it being used!
Cool I'll try some of these, keep up the good work
So I played Shadow of Mordor a while back and i branded every uruk exept for the one who wont revive or just dissapear. He was the first uruk i killed (i didnt do the missions because i thought i was to weak).
For the drain vault breakers another easy way is to use the bow and go behind the sucker BAM magic.
Have you or are you considering speed running the game? The talon trick makes perfect sense for one.
4:23 - SURPRISE, GRAVE WALKA
So the Talons of the Black Hand can be branded? That's pretty awesome, but I'm guessing they don't stick around in the army screen after the final mission? Would've been cool to make each of the five talons a warchief
I love it! Great job!
I think I arrived at 7k but not sure ... either way awesome content, replayed the game again and can't wait for SOW!
You can brand Ghul Queens if thier health drops low enough, allthough they don't seem to be fighting other ghuls, and the only way to notice that they're branded are thier glowing blue eyes.
Interesting! I will try this out one of these days.
Great presentation, good job!
A few days ago I skipped the last chance by somehow glitching through the ground. I appeared very near to the fight, but I was alive and the uruks were no longer triggered. I don´t know how to reproduce this.
1:06 - I'm sure, it would be a little complicated, if the captain had combat master.
With Combat Masters, you cannot use this trick. Draining cannot be interrupted if they have that trait.
Though, a Defender with Combat Master and Vault Breaker would be borderline invincible in combat. I would just use a different strategy to beat him.
+Uruk's Hollow I once fought a Beserker cap that I had no way of defeating with melee, range, or stealth. I had nearby ally grunts whack him, and interrupted him if he tried to retaliate. He died in about a minute.
Sounds like Ratlug Jitters from Test of Wisdom - the one Captain you should never Death Threat. Was it this guy by any chance?
+ Uruk's Hollow if the enemy is invincible, i just combat branded nearer uruks...especially Beserkers and Shield men and the guy's head turned to green within a second! and I hold him and decapitated him.
Not sure, I don't remember the name. All I know was that the only way I was able to defeat him was with other Uruks.
Can't wait to see your coming SoW vids :)
I think there was something similar with shadow kill which allowed you to use it without losing arrows.
Newovar There is a rune that turns the cost of shadow kill into 1 instead of 2
It is the epic rune: The Knight of Erington
Good video! It actually has some interesting and unknown tricks! =]
Best tips video ever! New sub for sure!
AMAZING!!
Awesome Vid! you deserve more subs
I was waiting to see if the decapitated uruk would get back up like the non-decapitated one. Do they not when you attack them?
How/where do you get the combat music files from? I cant find any in the OST's on TH-cam.
Specifically Uruks Hollow combat theme when the alarm is sounded
Facial animations & eyes of uruk (2014) still better than ME: A (2017) (approx 5:00)
wow your channel is growing fast :D
So just to clarify, do those captain who you identify as they die and lose their head still come back up if you try to attack them?
Number 2 is amazing trick.
Love your Videos i love Shadow of Mordor and i think you are the first channel thats based around the game :D
One Question: Are you just make Shadow of Mordor/War videos or maybe i dont know another game or a FaQ video?
Just SoM/SoW videos.
I do glitch other games for my own entertainment. Been doing it since 2003 but back then I didn't have a means to record what I did so I got tagged as a troll everytime.
I branded the talon because he was vulnerable to stealth, and then when I the fight was over I was like WHAT
Fuck I really wish I knew this stuff before I platinum and went 💯 % completion on the dlcs. Would've save me some good time
I just started playing the and thanks for the tips
Mordor will run Black with Uruk BLOOD!
Is there an runes editor? It is long to wait for shadow of war, it is necessary to somehow occupy yourself.
I have a question. The Vendetta missions have you avenge a defeated player by killing the captain that killed them, correct?
If you succeed in killing the captain, does he die in the other players game too?
The Captain in the dead player's save remains alive.
I've only had the last on happen to me I only wanted to see a slow motion execution
Which version of te game lets me revive the captain back
How come time was stopped when you went to brand the talon?
Shadow of Acharn legendary power.
Great video!
2:11 is that in the regular mode I got the bright lord dlc but is the lure of power available in regular mode
Is the intro quote a random thing captains can say when you're in Uruk's hollow? Or is it in a story mission. I kind of forgot all the story missions.
he said it was when he fought a captain in uruk's hollow
Also if throw a dagger then use the bow then its Talion that fires the bow.
What happens if you identify an uruk when a groug uses the eat anamation, or if he falls of a ledge after being hit?
Lol tip no 2 is very useful to me as i having hard time against these hord. Tq!
I already knew all of this tricks! Damn i am miserable
How did you get the sword? Is yet just a skin ?
bob spocinski just complete these challenges for your sword and if you do enough your sword will change apperance twice.
