Cutting the Lines (sword) | Weapon Missions Middle-earth: SoM Guide

Location: Durthang West

Bonus Objective: Melee Execute 5 Uruks

Try to attack only these orcs who are the mission targets

The mission objective is to kill all trainees in a stronghold, who are marked with yellow arrows. After you start a fight, try to kill only the orcs who are the mission targets, because unnecessary fights, e.g. with Sauron's Army Captains, may make it more difficult. Also, try to quickly eliminate enemies who are going to raise the alarm, because that would spawn much more orcs in the stronghold. If you find yourself in danger, retreat to a safe distance for a moment, hide in bushes, and only after things quiet down, resume your hunting.

Executing your targets will help you complete the bonus objective

While fighting orcs, remember about the mission bonus objective. The easiest way to complete this, is with Execution ability, because then every eight blows you can launch a special attack that finishes off an orc.

Note - You may optionally make the fight easier by taming one of the caragors kept in the stronghold. However, you need to have Ride Caragors ability unlocked.

Mission rewards:

• 400 experience points
• 150 Mirian
• 50 Mirian - only if you complete the bonus objective
