Bane of Shadow (sword) | Weapon Missions Middle-earth: SoM Guide

Location: Cab-Gwanath Bluff (Nurn)

Secondary objectives: Kill, at least, 25 orcs.

One of the elite orcs

You should not have too many problems completing this mission, because it only requires you to eliminate orcs, i.e. the regular and the elite ones. As for the standard opponents, you need to kill, at least, 25 of them (required for the secondary objective), and you also need to kill the three elite ones. The good news is that the elite orcs are not tougher. They only come with bodyguards that you can either eliminate or avoid around (e.g. by eliminating the mission target with the Strike from Above). While trying to reach the elite orcs, you need to watch out for the captains of the Sauron's Army and do not engage in fight with them. The best way to find the captains is to use the Wraith mode.

Rewards for completing the mission:

• 400 experience points
• 550 gold pieces (Mirian)
• 50 gold pieces (Mirian) - only if you have completed the secondary objective
