Shadow of War: Siege of Nurnen - Walkthrough Middle-earth: Shadow of War Guide

Quests: Bruz

Main objective: Capture Nurnen fortress.

Choose allies that will join you in the assault and buy some upgrades.

1. You will participate in your first siege. You march to battle, accompanied by Bruz and a few other captains that you have selected. Before you start the assault, you can select upgrades for the attackers. After that the siege will begin.
2. This fortress is rather weak and has low-level upgrades. Climb on top of the wall and eliminate Archers. In the meantime, your forces should attack the first control point - capturing all of them unlocks a battle with an Overlord.

Capture all control points and you will conquer the fortress.

1. Jump down to the attackers and capture the first control point. You now have to take your forces to another point. However, this time, you must face a few captains. You can use environmental objects to, e.g. call a Drake or cause an explosion.
2. Fight with the captains and try to dominate each one of them. This is very important in the later parts of the game where you will suffer a lot of losses during assaults and defenses.
3. Remember that you can heal your weakened captains (when they lay on the ground) - approach them and use domination. Sadly, enemies will probably try to attack you during that process so be careful.
4. Capturing the second point ends the siege and the fortress is now yours. This is an exception because other sieges require you to defeat powerful Overlords. Enjoy your first victory - Talion grows stronger!
