Finishing the final story in Shadow of War - Part 1 (The Bright Lord) @Stung5

Dooom Guy Finally, at last, I am completing Middle Earth: Shadow of War! Took me months to make it this far. This is the first segment of The Bright Lord mission, the final mission in the Eltariel story missions in the main questline in Shadow of War.

This part contains the battle up top of the thick ramparts that leads to Barad-dûr

I realized after the fact that the returning uruk captains both friend and foe were able to lose their mortal weaknesses and terrors. For example, Amûg the Tactician (my weakest and most pathetic orc) did not have his mortal terror of burning...
And Ar-Saku Pain Lover who is my most encountered nemesis did not have his 2 mortal terrors where one was definitely mortal terror of spiders. I know this b/c I have exploited his terror at level 85 countless times to level up my own captains.

Ironically, this trick did not work on an online vendetta captain that I recruited, Narûg the Deranged... in this video, I pull up his stats and he still has his "Mortally Flammable".
After putting this together, I think logically what's going on is that this final mission removes mortal terrors from all friend and enemy captains on the bridge. My theory is that this happens so that no captain gets terrified, maybe, because there's no checkpoint to run to or something in this special story mission.

Now, it sure would be awesome if this were a way to remove mortal terrors; however, after I had completed the game. The pyromanic Amug still has his mortal terror of burning. So, this mission isn't exactly a cure for those pathetic mortal terrors.

Rise of Nations Easy Mass Cavalry achievement 1 Million SlaughterHaus

Dooom Guy 2022-12-31 | I am playing Rise of Nations: Extended Edition where I am earning the achievement Mass Cavalry. This achievement requires that you train 1 million cavalry units and I've made this easy again by creating a mass slaughterhouse for my cavalry units. With this slaughterhaus, you can easily get the achievement in maybe 1-2 hours.

I have uploaded the scenario map featured in this video into the steam workshop to help any others that are trying to unlock this 1 million cavalry units achievement. Some of the scenarios that people built out there do not take advantage of the Rise of Nations game scripting system, this slaughter house DOES.
Get the map here:
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2997400585
Share any feedback you have -- I believe there are ways to make this slaughter house even more efficient.

There is a lot of fun to be had with rise of nations scripts.

Rise of Nations Easy Decon Achievement, Destroy 10K buildings

Dooom Guy 2022-12-30 | I am playing Rise of Nations: Extended Edition where I am earning the achievement Decon. To get the decon achievement, you need to destroy or raze 10,000 buildings across all of your rise of nations sessions. I think basically any scenario, match, or capture the world campaign counts towards the achievement.

To make this as easiest as possible to speed run this achievement, I have created a custom scenario slaughterhouse map that is called Building Slaughterhaus.
With Rise of Nations' game scripting system, it made it easy to set this up with cheats essentially so that the enemy nation is constantly building anti-aircraft SAM installations and the hit points for these structures has been set to 1. In addition, I use scripts to turn my infantry soldiers into turbo super soldiers.

There is a lot of fun to be had with rise of nations scripts.

my favorite scene from AvP 3 (2010) - Weylands revenge 4K UHD

Dooom Guy 2022-12-29 | This is my favorite scene from Aliens versus Predator (2010), or AvP3. This happens at the end of the marine campaign.

I may have to give a warning for those that have epilepsy because the advanced graphics effect during Mr. Weyland's rage creates some offputting frames and can mess with your brain and mind.
Be very careful where you pause the video because some frames are painful to look at for some folks.

Regardless, this scene is presented to you in ultra high definition 4K, so, enjoy.

Lance Henriksen is awesome and he does great work for this entire franchise. He is a professional and is a blessing to us all. Thank you, Lance, for all your work.

The scene depicts a synthetic clone with Mr. Weyland or Bishop who is an avaricious corporate synthetic being. He is ultimately the evil boss at the end of the marine campaign where you play as the rookie, a character that never speaks yet seems to be the most competent of the entire US Colonial Marine detachment that was sent to this planet in Aliens vs. Predator 2010.
The rookie is picking up the executive data pad and is unexpectedly attacked by Weyland. Weyland attempts to pull the data pad from the rookie's hands and both tumble down the pyramid steps next to a hole that leads to a molten rock lava abyss. The rookie instantly destroys Weyland where he falls to his demise in the molten lava. Mission success.

Rise of Nations Mass Infantry Achievement, 1 million

Dooom Guy 2022-12-28 | I am playing Rise of Nations: Extended Edition where I am earning the achievement Mass Infantry where you have to train 1,000,000 infantry units. Yup that is 1 million infantry units must be trained over the course of all your rise of nations matches. I think basically everything type of game, scenario, and conquer the world campaign counts towards this achievement; however, even after easily playing 300 matches, most players would still not be anywhere near creating 1 mil infantry units.

To earn the achievement in the easiest and fastest way possible for myself, I created a custom scenario with a bunch of scripts. This scenario is called Infantry Slaughterhaus. The slaughter house basically sets everything up so that all I need to do is continuously train infantry units until I unlock the achievement. This makes earning the achievement easily possible within a day's time. I think it could probably be earned within 2-3 hours. I didn't take care to time myself today though.

I've published this helpful slaughter house custom map so others can use it if they want to unlock the achievement.
It is available here on the steam workshop.
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2997426962

The rise of nations game scripts that I use helped tremendously to make this easier for instance, I purposely set back my nation's age back to the classical era so that I can send some really weak units after the enemy while they have modern age technology. This also allowed me to have the artificial intelligence technology upgrade while creating classical era units ! This is the genius behind this killing machine.

Harrison caught sleepin on the job - Aliens vs. Predator 2 CUT CONTENT

Dooom Guy 2022-10-26 | I reconstructed a scene from cut dialogue in AvP2's first marine mission unwelcome guests. This is somewhat both a deleted scene that I created as well as revealing how some cut avp2 story dialogue would have likely been used in the game.

In the original AvP 2 game's very first marine mission, Sgt. Blackwell will grow very impatient with Harrison's failure to follow his orders. Eventually, Blackwell loses his patience and requests from Major McCain to abort the mission completely. Even though he requests this permission, nothing happens.. except there is an unused voice over dialogue response from Major McCain where he says "Permission granted, hell of a time for discipline to break down." Afterwards, a likely conclusion is that the player would inevitably see the "Mission Failed" sequence.
The McCain line remains cut from the original Aliens vs. Predator 2 although it was distributed in the game files.

This is the first time anyone has seen such a scene re-constructed.

I think the line and sequence was cut probably b/c it may have been too harsh on newbie avp2 players that had no idea what they're doing. In fact, new players are often confused about what they need to do in this very spot and the question frequently comes up about how they get past this locked door with Blackwell and Shugi.

This is a high-quality resolution video, ensure your device does not incinerate itself before attempting to watch in 1080p.

This is what should happen to Harrison if he fails to run a bypass.

Some players think Blackwell is the most annoying character in the whole avp2 game. If the game turned out this way, I think even more people would be even more irritated by Blackwell.

my dude, that olog is fud up! 4K

Dooom Guy 2022-09-28 | This is the gnarliest Olog corpse that I've ever come across in the valleys of Mordor. This is definitely the strangest thing I've seen that day and there's no telling that there could be stranger things to be found in Mordor.

Obviously, I was just slaying orcs that day until I stopped to realize that this olog is mad fud up. I couldn't believe what I was seeing so I picked up the camera and started recording it. He looked like he turned into some kind of Tarantula.

Enjoy this glitch and maybe you too will encounter such glitches that will leave you in complete awe. It left me speechless.

Another interesting glitch that I've never noticed before is that you can hear an orc monologuing to himself while I am in photo mode. I had no idea that orcs will still carry on a conversation while in photo mode. I realized that after I was watching the playback and heard a faint voice of a nearby orc in the clip.

Now in 4K UHD resolution.

Rare Orc encounter, he stares at you for a long time - shadow of war

Dooom Guy 2022-09-18 | This was a rare orc encounter for me where for his intro speech, he just stared at me for a really long time. I didn't get to the record button in time to record the whole thing but he just kept pacing back and forth and stared at me for quite a while.
The moment eventually ended and the fight began after around 10 minutes of a staring contest.
I figured he needed some phat beats that slap, to fill in for the deafening silence.

Meet Nazû the Outlaw. He is an outlaw commander that roams around in Gorgoroth.

This is just one of those weird things that you run into, in the land of Mordor.

3 Post-game Fortress siege-defense missions, Shadow of War

Dooom Guy 2022-09-14 | In this session, I take on the post-game fortress defense nemesis missions that become available.
This defense missions are the most difficult that the game has to offer because your fortress will be assaulted by level 80 enemy orc captains.

When I was trying it out for the first time, I definitely got a little careless and got myself killed, I was so shocked that I pressed ctrl + alt + delete so I would not have to recapture my fortress in Nurnen for being so careless. What happened was, I had gotten surrounded by level 80s and my health and might dropped to near 0making death imminent.

Anyways, in this reccorded session, I played fortress defense missions in Nurnen, then Seregost, then Gorgoroth.

I then found out that these defense missions are endless.

Now, during these sessions, there were some causalities, notably, Narûg the Deranged from Nûrnen. Narug is much stronger in death though, by dying and being brought back to life, he lost his mortal terror of fire. Instead, it turned into heavily damaged by fire which is an improvement.
Another more tragic loss was the death of Târz the Singer. I could not revive him in time, but, I did not want to say good bye to him so I resurrected him from the dead which stinks because he won't be doing a lot of singing as the walking dead.

At Seregost, Grisha the Deep Sear perished, he wasn't really that great.

Gorgoroth had no casaulities, but, I certainly almost came close to losing some of my favorites.

Death is not The End achievement, Shadow of War

Dooom Guy 2022-09-05 | A quick video where I unlock the "Death is not the end" trophy achievement in Middle-Earth: Shadow of War.
This is an easy trophy that only requires that you complete the game, in order to unlock the raising the dead skills. Once you've gained the undying loyalty skill so that you can resurrect a dead captain of yours, simple use it on one of your available deceased uruk captains.
This makes this them rise from their death slumber, but, one catch is that all undead captains have flame weaknesses.
They also lose their personality. They only vocalize deathly screeches and moans.

At this point in the game, I found myself getting frustrated with my uruk captains. I gained a feel for what captains are good and not good. Basically, captains with major vulnerabilities and fears are terrible and they will let you down. One way to have fun with this captains who may have been fun while playing the game and rising in power, is to set them to fight your other uruk captains in duels.
In this very video, you'll see 2 captains that have a fear of burning. A couple of times, both uruks start jigging in a daze after getting scolded by fire. The worse yet are the fire warders that have major weaknesses and vulnerabilities to fire. They're the worst!

Unlocking Baranor the Conquerer achievement 300k points HD

Dooom Guy 2022-08-07 | I recorded myself unlocking the 'Baranor the Conquerer' achievement. This is probably one of the harder achievements to unlock in all of Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, especially desolation of Mordor. Honestly, I did not think this achievement was too bad, although, I did need take an initial failed attempt to unlock it.

Pro Tip, do not delete your saved desolation of mordor file because this will reset the game so that you'll need to find all of the Torvin skill upgrades and complete all of the story quests again.I did just this and then I needed to complete the expansion pack by unlocking all of the torvin upgrades and story quests with Serka. That attempt failed to get the gold and unlock this achievement. So, like many have already suggested, I recommend you try getting this achievement with all of the Torvin skills and Serka skills unlocked and beaten already otherwise, you will lose a lot of time completing those quests.

I think this achievement is fairly easy to unlock if you follow these guidelines:
* Have all Torvin Numenorean artifact skills unlocked from previous playthrough
* Have all story quests unlocked from previous playthrough.
* Beat Desolation of Mordor in under an hour
* Focus on conquering all of the outposts first
* If you have some time, kill some warchiefs before sieging Shindram
* Siege Shindram, purchase some of the explosive sabotage skills to make things a little more easier.

Your rune and weapon pickups will be really random. In old playthroughs, I found some pretty cool gear. In this particular playthrough, I remember finding some really lame rune weapon upgrades. It's totally up to chance what you'll find. You will probably waste too much time if you try to scour around for better weapon upgrade runes.

What is up with Eli Vance? Whats going on? [Half Life 2] 4K UHD

Dooom Guy 2022-08-01 | What is up with Eli Vance? Do you notice it? Can you see it? What is happening with Eli Vance's eyes ? Is he a cyborg? Did the combine do something to him?

Both Alyx Vance and her father Eli Vance may have joined the combine and while they try to mask it and present Gordon Freeman with a friendly face, clearly, they're showing signs of their true inner selfs as everyone can see within their eyes! This could be the plot twist that was to be revealed in half life 3. Is this the ending that you wanted ?

I am playing the half life 2 remaster when I encountered this.

In all honesty, I think there is something going on graphically but no idea what the details are. I am playing the recently remastered version of half life 2 which supports high resolution screen displays (awesome!).

"Baranor and Serka infiltrate the fortress of Shindram to reveal the hierarchy. Completing this quest reveals a very useful skill where you can get intel on all war chiefs and captains.

Lets play Desolation of Mordor Part 2, Bombadier Achievement 4K HD

Dooom Guy 2022-07-28 | This is part 2 of my first play through of the Desolation of Mordor DLC.

In this session, I unlock the Bombadier achievement. The bombadier achievement is currently the most rare achievement for players to have in shadow of war. Even Baranor the ocnquerer has been unlocked by more players than the bombadier achievement.

When I first read about what you need to do to unlock the bombadier achievement, I thought that you had to kill an enemy with each munition type in a single glide without touching the ground once between kills. This is NOT true, you can take as many glides as you want, you only need to kill a single enemy with each ammo type while in the air. You can touch the ground between kills, just make sure you are not touching the ground while you kill an enemy or else it will not count.

In reflection, this was a pretty easy achievement to unlock. A lot easier than I had originally thought when I started playing shadow of war.

#shadowofwar #middleearth #desolationofmordor

Lets play Desolation of Mordor - Gathering Torvin Artifacts, Part 1, 4K HD

Dooom Guy 2022-07-27 | This is part 1 of my first play through of the Desolation of Mordor DLC.

In this session, I unlock all of the Torvin skills by finding the Numenorean artifacts. This unlocks the "Gauntlet" achievement since I collected all Númenórean artifacts and brought them to Torvin.

Isn't it great that Torvin made a return in this game? Torvin the dwarf was cool although he doesn't do much besides hang out in his camp in this dlc pack, whoops sorry, spoilers sort of, well whatever.

Torvin is a dwarf who helped Talion in Shadow of Mordor in the region of Nurnen where the slave fortress is and the docks. Torvin is a dwaran hunter. He is collecting ancient Numenorean artifacts.
This expansion pack includes a lot more backstory to the Numenoreans with all of these artifacts that Baranor finds and collects. The Numenoreans were an ancient people that were the ancestors to both the Gondorians and the Rohirrim. They settled Middle Earth before the first age. Isildur was a close descendent of the Numenoreans. Hhis armor reflects that as seen in the film and the Numenorean armor that is found around Mordor.

In this session, I take on the final boss in Eltariel's dlc pack, Nazgul Talion.
This concludes the DLC.

Lets play Blade of Galadriel Part 8 - Siege of Gorgoroth HD

Dooom Guy 2022-07-26 | Part 8 of my 4K UHD HD playthrough of the Shadow of War DLC Blade of Galadriel.

In this session, I siege the fortress in Gorgoroth that is held by the rogue nazgul sisters. This video contains spoilers since it covers half of the ending to the blade of galadriel expansion pack for shadow of war.

You may notice some choppy recording in the middle of the siege, I simply had some recording issues and had to pivot in the middle of recording. No moments were lost.

The bosses of the expansion pack are the Rogue Nazgûl that come from the Kingdom of Shen. They murdered their own father Emperor Sagong in their own lust for power after taking the rings from a ringwraith.
The sisters, Riya and Yuka come from the Kingdom of Shen in the farthest east of Middle-Earth. They were daughters to the emperor and powerful warriors. They went to Mordor for conquest and waged war there against 2 of the Nazgûl. They eventually defeated the Nazguls' armies and then they took the rings from them.
When the sisters returned to the Kingdom of Shen, they were welcomed in great triumph though they soon became corrupted by the rings of power that they held. They overthrew their father by murdering him and assumed control of his throne and the Kingdom of Shen. Thereafter, they imposed tyrannical rule that eroded their society.
Ultimately, they were destined to be servants to Sauron, who took them back to Mordor. They served the dark lord for many many years. They still held on to their ambition though. and so when the witch king was defeated by Talion and Sauron and Celebrimbor were fused together inside the flaming eye, the rogue sisters rose up against their masters in a new attempt to conquer Mordor.

This unlocks the "Banished Ambition" achievement since the rogue nazgul sisters are defeated.

I got the achievement by completing the architect quest by winning that nemesis mission, I recruited Ar-Kaius the Architect, who is a marauder commander.

If you save enough of his workers, you'll gain his favor.

In this session, I continue playing as Eltariel in Cirith Ungol and I unlock the light trap achievement - "I see the Light" where you need to use light trap on 20 orcs.

Again Akoth Slayer of the Dead did not shine in this DLC. Maybe he would've made an appearance if I failed the orc recruitment missions.

I definitely had some difficulty fighting Talion but it wasn't too bad. I still won without dying.

Shadow Wars - Part 3, the final ending to Shadow of War (Spoilers) 4K

Dooom Guy 2022-07-16 | Finally, I have completely beat Shadow of War... this concludes the third wage of shadow wars in the epilogue of the game.

The 3rd act of the shadow wars includes the following siege defenses:

1. The siege of Khargukôr, in Seregost

2. The Siege of Ghâshgôr in Gorgoroth

The lord of mordor is making an attempt to siege my citadels, Khargukôr, in Seregost and Ghashgor in Gorgoroth. I was able to easily defend my fortresseses.

"None beyond Mordor will ever know of your sacrifice, they will see you only as a creature of shadow."

"I fight for my family. I fight for Middle-earth. I fight for the Man I once was."
-Talion

Nice fort you got here, but I was expecting entrails hanging from the walls. Let's fix that, shall we?
- Lorm Iron-Fist (Poisonous Machine Tank)

"Sauron and Celebrimbor remain locked together in the Eye. They are contained, but not defeated."

This video contains spoilers since it shows the real and true final ending to Middle Earth: Shadow of War. In this video, you will find out what was Talion the ranger's ultimate fate in the Lord of the Rings universe.

The ending scenes and cinematics were recorded in 4K resolution. Enjoy the high definition of the great end game cinematics that were created.

END GAME Epilogue for Shadow of War:
"Talion held back the forces of darkness for decades. But the Dark Lord's ring had a will of its own.

It is over.
Together, we will turn towards Middle-Earth.
- The Witch King

Talion finally fell and joined the nine.

In the years that followed. the One Ring was found and the newest of the Nazgûl traveled with his brothers to the Shire in pursuit of the new ringbearer.

And then... after decades if warm darkness gave way to light.
A new fellowship and an unlikely hero.
Death came.
Death to Sauron.
Death to his dominion.
And death to Talion, who walked out of darkness and found freedom."

In memory of Maegan Walling, Beath Ann Allen, and Michael David Forgey (Forthog).

The Shadow Wars - Part 2 - Nurnen Sieges and more

Dooom Guy 2022-07-16 | Continuing the Siege Wars in the final epilogue of Shadow of War.

This is a siege defense of Sharkhburz, the citadel of Nûrnen.

This was another pretty easy siege defense. A particular someone thought that I would at best have a hard time with this and more likely I would fail and die and lose control and dominion of my citadel. Well, this was a cakewalk.

This includes the shadow wars stage 2 and stage 3. I defend Sharkburz citadel twice in 2 Nurnen siege defenses.

In the stage 3 shadow war defense of Nurnen, the opposing army was able to break through my gate and some walls. This was not enough for them to prove themselves as much of a threat to the citadel and the dominion of wraith Talion.

After the Nurnen defenses, I head to Seregost where I begin granting curse immunity to any of my captains that do not have immunity to curses.

The Shadow Wars - First Cirith Ungol Siege Defense and curse immunity - Part 1

Dooom Guy 2022-07-14 | And so begin the shadow wars, this covers the first siege in Cirith Ungol.

After the battle, I beafen up my captains by granting immunity to curses to any orcs that are missing the trait that are left in the region of Nurnen.

This was a pretty simple siege defense mission.

My uruk captain that appears in the thumbnail of this video (my nurnen overlord), he is a beast. He gave my arch nemesis one hell of a time when my nemesis was trying to siege my fort. My nemesis also lost many captains trying to slain him in the online fight pits. Oh, if you could've heard him shouting all kinds of curse words as he tried and tried again and again to defeat my nurnen overlord beast warmonger.

This is the stage 1 shadow wars siege defense mission in Cirith Ungol.

Finishing the final story in Shadow of War - Part 2 Conquest of Minas Morgul

Dooom Guy 2022-07-12 | Finally, at last, I am completing Middle Earth: Shadow of War! Took me months to make it this far. This is the second segment of the bright lord mission, the final mission in the Eltariel story missions, in the main quest line of shadow of war.

SPOILER ALERT, this video contains spoilers and it is that you fight the witch king and Sauron at the end of shadow of war.

In the middle of my battle against Sauron, my recording cut out and I had to restart it. Nothing was missed, I picked up right where it stopped in the battle, but you may notice the jump cut there since I had to pause the game to fix the issue.

Watch part 1 here:
youtu.be/3ppJxWFSJ0A

I had a tough time against the witch king, I didn't quite know what I was doing.I thought this was a really cool game nevertheless.

Caragor head gore [Shadow of War]

Dooom Guy 2022-07-09 | Here's some software gore for you... a decapitated caragor head got all renderer gore with sides of the caragor's head, ears, and armor skewing off into another dimension.
The head would also disappear when viewed from certain angles and positions.

I am not sure how to recreate this. It hasn't happened too many times before, but, it does occasionally happen. This was the most egregious case.

I was walking through the valley of Lithlad and then I got ambushed by a treacherous mystic orc and I thought, perfect, I need to upgrade my mystic legendary gear set -- this is opportunity. He led a pack of caragors into battle with him and they all pretty much got slaughtered. One was decapitated and its head rolled down the sand and started ejecting all of this renderer gore until it reached its final resting point where the software gore continued to flay out.

This is in 4K resolution, high definition.

Ranked online conquest against an undead fortress

Dooom Guy 2022-07-08 | An online conquest sessions where I siege a fortress in Nurnen that is commanded by an undead captain.

The fortress is led by Ur-Hakon the Proud, who is an undead destroyer that possibly belonged as a member of the outlaw tribe once upon a time.

Fighting Dung Collectors And more Online Vendettas

Dooom Guy 2022-07-01 | I am avenging more shadow of war players online by finding their killers and slaying or shaming them.

This was a second parter to a livestream that I had to take offline because the stream was freezing beyond belief.

I encountered a dung collector, yes a dung collector in the beginning. What a title for an uruk.

Tûgog Dung-Collector was waiting and seemingly covered in dung, yes, that was not poison. What do you think happened? He was probably hanging out with runny-bowels earlier.

The first vendetta was supposed to destroy Stakûga Lucky Shot.

I used these sessions to upgrade some of my legendary gear, which, is the best gear in the whole game.

I wish I could avenge Mordom properly...

How To add Immune to Curse to ANY ORC in Shadow of War

Dooom Guy 2022-06-29 | Were you wondering how you can add immunity to curses to any orc, even your favorite orc than follow these steps in the video. It does not matter if your captain is lvl 30 or 80.
You can add the immunity "Immune to Curse" to any orc by following these steps.
Do you have an uruk that is terrified of curses or heavily damaged by curse vulnerability? Is your war chief dazed by curse? This is how you can solve your problem.

This is a really EASY way to add immunities to your favorite orc. It works and it is awesome, especially considering there's a lot of orcs out there with really crappy traits even when they're your favorite.

Sometimes, the trick does not work right away and you need to try again.
Also, in some versions of the game this trick may not work as well.

What the HELL is in his pants ?

Dooom Guy 2022-06-29 | Somebody mind telling what the hell is going on inside his pants?
I'm pretty sure this orc is dead.

I suggest watching this clip in the highest quality possible b/c after uploading I realized how the compression can make it extremely hard to see what's going on. Also, watch on a bigger screen too because even on higher quality, it can be hard to see exactly what is happening on a small mobile screen.

Not sure if I should rather ask, what the hell is up his skirt..

I fought a hacked orc, and the hacked orc won

Dooom Guy 2022-06-27 | I tried to fight this hacked orc named "Ronk the Funny One".

I encountered him through online vendetta.

It was about 20 minutes of futile pain.

He thinks its so simple to fight an obsessive maniac

Dooom Guy 2022-06-23 | Ur-Lisak Ear-Collector just likes to hang around in Minas Morgul - living the simple life. He preaches his life of simplicity to all of his fellow orcs.
The cursed feral tank unfortunately caught the gaze of Lûga the Ruined. The fiery machine tank is a non-verbal maniac that is hell-bent on slaying.
Not even Thrak Flame of War was of any help in aiding Ur-Lisak during one of the times he was ambushed.

It was during these events that Thrak Flame of War finally received his eternal rest. I encountered Thrak really early on in the game in Minas Ithil before I even unlocked Nurnen. I killed Thrak a few times before giving up, I was thinking that he simply didn't die. Thrak was no match for the Luga the maniac. Quickly, he was dealt with and never heard from along the alleys of Minas Morgul again.

In these clips, you'll see some more shadow of war glitches like one of Thrak's body doubles getting stuck in the side of building.

Im devastated that I lost him, Mr. No Chance

Dooom Guy 2022-06-21 | Mr. No Chance, Ogbur the Gambler, completes the poison bucket challenge in this nemesis mission.

I am truly completed devastated by this unexpected loss. Mr. No Chance was great even though he betrayed me in the mountains of Seregost. We had a good run, but it ended here on the lonely mountain pass out of Cirith Ungol.

Take this clip as a reminder that you should be very careful when leveling up your marksmen orcs, make sure if you do not want them to kill the enemy orc that the orc is capable of getting away in time.

I miss him so much already.

#shadowofwar #middleearth #lordoftherings

You think you have a Chance ?

Dooom Guy 2022-06-21 | This is a match of Ogbur versus Ogbur.

"You think you have a chance? You have no chance, I have no chance, none of us has any chance!"
Ogbur the Gambler, a marauder beastmaster

"Don't even try to catch me!"
-Ogbur the Cave-Born, an outlaw destroyer.

"You think it's fair, giving someone no chance? Not fair at all, not fair giving no chance, no chance!"
-Ogbur the Gambler

Executing a Betrayer with a fight that he cannot win

Dooom Guy 2022-06-18 | This is the execution of Kûga Man-Breaker, an epic cursed Dark Berserker.
Executing a betrayer who betrayed me in order to avenge Ogbur the Gambler, the one that rambles on and on about not ever having a single chance.
Kuga fought alongside Skak Horn Blower, a warmonger commander in a failed rebellion and coup d'etat. Shaka the Head Lopper was also part of the rebellion conspiracy.

Kuga was shamed and fled from the ambush site. Kuga was hunted down and dragged to the fight pits where he faced a loyal captain in a fight that Kuga could not and would not be allowed to win.

Gûnd Weapon Smith, a machine beastmaster, was the executioner.

#shadowofwar #middleearth #lordoftherings

A rebellion led by No Chance beastmaster

Dooom Guy 2022-06-17 | Harassing Ogbur the Gambler eventually led to a big rebellion of turncoats among my ranks. The marauder beastmaster was too cognitively impaired to show signs that he was even aware of the subversive plot, never mind colluded with it.
Ogbur used to serve as one of my captains in Seregost until he too, betrayed me individually. He was swiftly dealt with and shamed. Unfortunately, for Ogbur, the shaming was too much and he became deranged. All he ever talks about now is how he has no chance, not a single chance!

"You don't have a chance! No chance! That's the truth of it, no chance at all"
-Ogbur the Gambler

The first assault was led by Krûk the Greedy, a marauder tank. It was expected to be a regular ambush on Ogbur who frequently ran off. Then Skak Horn Blower suddenly appeared with his axe around Longtooth's throat.
Skak quickly cowered since the rest of the insurrection did not show up with him. Longtooth was quickly healed by Talion and he ended up throwing a spear straight through Skak and slaying him. Finally, Shaká the Head Lopper and Kûga Man-Breaker showed up to see Skak's corpse. They quickly ambushed Talion. In the midst of the chaos, Ogbur took a moment to go on another angry rant about how he was never given a single chance, not one chance. Then Ogbur ran off and retreated abandoning his supporting usurpers, Shaka and Kuga.
Kuga was first to be weakened and fall to the ranger. He was shamed off of the battlefield.
Shaka was slain.

Insurrection leaders:
Skak Horn Blower, a warmonger commander
Shaká the Head Lopper, Terror Trickster
Kûga Man-Breaker, cursed Dark Berserker

"You've been a good Bright Lord, but now Mordor needs a Blood Lord: me!"
-Shaká the Head Lopper

"Nobody likes bowing to a pinkskin. And after today, nobody will have to."
-Kûga Man-Breaker

After the rebellion, Dûsh of the Blackguard hunted down Ogbur the Gambler. He simply followed the echos of no chance rants that were reverberating across the cavern walls of Cirith Ungol.

You never gave me a chance, not one single chance

Dooom Guy 2022-06-16 | One of my favorite orc encounters, Mr. No Chance.
Ogbur the Gambler grew insane after he betrayed me and I whipped and shamed him. I originally encountered him in Seregost, but, he continued to track me down as I went to different regions.
I used the marauder beastmaster to level up my troops since he would frequently flee from battle after losing most of his health.

"Your outlook here has grown quite grim
For soon, I'll tear you, limb from limb"
-Gûnd the Poet (Marauder assassin)

"You never gave me a chance, not one single chance."
-Ogbur the Gambler (Marauder Beastmaster)

Lithlad Fight Champions, wasting legendaries

Dooom Guy 2022-06-15 | It's a long way to the top of the Lithlad fight pits championship.
I fed a couple legendaries to the ravenous death pits before I finally won.
This madness was not without purpose though. I wanted to complete my legendary sets and these legendary orcs had some gear that I needed.

The second half of the video has completely screwed up audio thanks to my really lame video processor that I hold in contempt. I had enough of trying to troubleshoot it. Took 2 days to bring this video to you... I really need an upgrade.

#shadowofwar #middleearth #lordoftherings

Lithlad Fightpits championship

Dooom Guy 2022-06-14 | The championship for Lithlad is on and I want my citadel.
This is simply my playthough of competing in the Lithlad fight pits.

Be careful going into the fight pits, it's a real gamble. A lot of f***ery exists there too. Have you ever had a captain just stand there and do nothing for the entire match and just take it until they died?
If you've played enough fights pits, you'll realize how terrible the fights really are.

Avenging an interesting player in Online Vendetta shadow of war

Dooom Guy 2022-06-12 | Here's an online vendetta missions, where I got the chance to avenge another player with a very interesting name... I can't remember whether I was victorious or not, you'll have to watch and see if I died a horrible and embarrassing death or not!

I am targeting ûshak Slave-Lover who has 2 kills. The machine bezerker is ready and he is level 80 and he only gets dazed by one thing.
