Can You Beat SHADOW OF MORDOR With Only Wraith Powers?

I find your lack of faith...disturbing.

Shadow of Mordor is a great game, and has lots of stealth, combat, and "magic" options. So what if we took away 2/3 of that? After all, it's kinda silly that a ghost can use physical weapons.

Time to banish Mordor to the shadow realm.

Through the Nemesis System, I think both this game and its sequel have one the most fun gameplay loops I've experienced in open world games. I get really invested in making allies, engaging in power-struggles between orcs and creating rivals. And the best thing is that very little of it is scripted.

"Smeagol didn't make it, precious. It was those nasty developers and publishers that did it! Poor Smeagol would never make such trash."

MY DEAR GWYN, LEMON JUST POSTED! AND IT'S A SHADOW OF MORDOR VIDEO!?!? WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED

[Mizuraka]

I started playing shadow of war again and damn....I forgot how cool the nemesis system works ! We really need more games with it

[FinnishedThirdMusic]

First Diablo 2, and now this?! What have we done to deserve such goodness?

[Bill_Door]

I would love to see an Orc only run of Shadow of War

[temmiesbreakroom]

The wraith flash/flurry thing when you stun someone and smack em turns you into a wraith and requires you to punch em with the wraith fist.

[nickdejager]

Lemon?!?! "And in the darkness, BOMB them." I can't believe you missed that.

I'm only at 15:13, and I have my fingers crossed about two things. I consider Shadow Strike a Wraith Power, because it's the Wraith wielding the sword. Also, intel can be obtained once he has the Head Explosion or Brand abilities, because Talion will no longer use his sword to kill Uruks once either effect is unlocked.

[Phosypha]

It's been a while since I've played Shadows of Mordor, but I'm pretty sure that Wraith Finisher makes it so you always detonate the head of non-captain enemies after you interrogate them.


Obviously its a bit late to say this now, but it might come in handy if you try this with SoW (though I suspect that one would be quite a bit more rough)

[Kiiro]

These games are criminally underrated. I remember playing this game all the way through middle school. The nemesis system, Arkham-like combat, cool story and characters and awesome abilities. Definitely helped fuel my love for the series. Great video as always!

[hoodiegal]

"It isn't efficient, but I'll be damned if it isn't fun" - that just describes this entire game tbh. I had a blast with it.

[SirFleetingFury]

I love seeing the channel continue to branch out! Top tier quality and commentary as well. Thank you!

[ExtremeMan]

Celebrimbor made SUFFER ME NOW itched into my skull forever with the amount of times he said it in game.

Great game.

[what]

I remember how i kept dying to a single ork captain until he was literally the strongest possible and that whole expirence is truly why i love this game. I also remeber by the end having every ork captain and warlord under my control. I wish that system was in other games.

[infernalmonster]

Can't wait to see if we'll get a sequel of this with shadow of war

[soul]

Fun fact. If a branded grunt kills an enemy captain, they will be promoted to captain after you progress time a bit. I loved doing this when i found a cool orc. It's hard to pull off but fun if you do. It's especially nice if the captain's grunts have some warpaint before you branded them

[bigtree]

Such an underrated game. And Shadows of War had an amazing online mode

[manosbouzoubouzou]

Ah yes, one of my absolute favourite games, and of my favourite challenge runners. Thanks blessing us with this awesome game.

35:00 ...Play the Bright Lord DLC campaign since it actually gives you a pretty kickass fight against Sauron?
Okay, DOOM music works too.
EDIT: Okay he knows about it.
