this is a good idea for this boss battle: When you beat the QTE you fight the Black Hand kinda like you fought the Hammer, but when you damage him for so long he turns into Sauron (like in the QTE) and he is invincible in that mode, and if you try to attack him he will damage you so hard, so, you have to do a semi-puzzle thing to taking him down (by not attacking him in a melee way)* then Sauron gets stuned and you have to do the QTE again to fight The HAND in the same way as before, this repeats three or four times and ends with an awesome QTE killing the Hand... Sorry for my English, Im Spanish :D its a cliche boss fight but I think this could have been epic! *this part is in progress, it consist in repeating three or four actions (throwing arrows on fire at him or smth like that...)

Skull Wolf because he had the ring. At the end of SoM, the Ring is with either Gollum or Bilbo, so to absorb the wraith of the elf who created it would be powerful enough to take the ring back.

Holy shit. I got the first two, but I never even realized that last bit.

Here's another way of looking at it: -The Tower sadistically relishes the player's disappointment in how easy fighting him is. -The Black Hand deceives the player into thinking the final boss battle will be an epic one.

damn! you've beaten me to it!

AgentRedgrave in shadow of war you get one

@@Koichi-Kun although that one is kinda disappointing like first it starts with his elf appearance and into his awesome armour I'm right yea shit's getting serious now but then you finish the fight in his elf form again

I agree

@@Theseamus2000 i think fighting him in his Elf appearance is fun, because that’s the form Sauron took when he was manipulating Celebrimbor into thinking they were friends

This fight wasn’t good at all it was just a quick time event

@@chrismarple Lol, exactly. This fight was awful, if you can even call it a fight.

⁠​⁠@@ArchangelExilethe fights were all representative of what each villain represented Sauron. The hammer was the might. the tower represents the mind of Sauron the black hand represents the manipulation and deceitfulness of Sauron.

​@@andyrendon7753well it was pathetic anyway I don't care if it's brute force, manipulation and deception, I want a damn fight before they make me use the stealth mechanics and then the quick time event

Debatable.

He's just Tall Sis

Yes

You are good. Their outfit (Celebrimbor and Sauron) are elegantly beautiful and badass. I love Armstrong for this kinda of thing. 💛

all elves or valar, maiar and ainur are hot

Yeah and it's pretty much the same with The Tower boss.

ravenandthecrow They tried to do something different with the bosses than what they did with the rest of the fights in the game, which caused the boss fights to kinda suck. But the rest of the game is amazing especially fighting the uruk captains

It wasnt supposed to be a battle. It was supposed to be a story. You still have to remember that Shadow of Mordor is still trying to tell a story

The rest of the game is pretty damn good. It's just the final boss battle (if you can even call it that) is a major let down.

@Bane Knightfall Yea. IT is one of the reasons why I did not buy the game. The other reason is that I was under the impression for a very long time in my life that Sauron made the rings but later the lore was changed to say it was some elf as if the Dark Lord of Mordor needed an elf to do something like this. Some bullshit change made by the author I believe from a book I never heard off before it hit the shelves in my part of the world. Now it is canon. The same goes for Lords of Shadow 2 ... the end fight between Dracula and Satan ...... was just a lame cinematic. There was only one fight between the devil and Drac while the Devil possessed Alucard. I mean come on!!! Why would The ultimate evil need to possess a vamp to fight the king of vampires. I get stuck on details like this to the point it ruined the game for me. It is a flaw for gamer

Felxs well killing and branding all war chiefs and captains completing the legends of your weapons and completing the slave rescue missions

Not to mention the artifacts scatters everywhere

SomekidWhoMakesMemes ose oh okay ty, I was a little bit confuse about this. so I will collect this thing. The old warchiefs you branded before are normally gone after the blackhand dude right? so I have to brand the others too?

he want destroy sauron .... 😔😥

Not really

@@Dylan-bc2po UMMMMM REALLY

@Quadir Lovell Shadow of War was made AFTER Shadow of Mordor, idiot

@Quadir Lovell Shadow of War was absolute trash

@Quadir Lovell Shadow of War is made AFTER Shadow of Mordor, you braindead clown. You are so stupid

I don't know if you're still trying to figure this out, but there's side quests that do it. There's 10 per weapon, and if only changes Talions weapons. After completing the first five The sword and Dagger a reforged with more of a Gondorian craftsmanship, but after completing the last five the reforged to look more elven. The changes are purely cosmetic.

There was a music which was removed due to copyrights.

CryBox7 ohhhh that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up

I finished the game like 30 minutes ago and I can only tell you that I also did not understand how the elf was absorbed if it was not supposed to be a curse from the blood ritual but rather that the elf chose you and revived you using you as a vessel I no longer understand the blood ritual

Actually, this takes place around 40-60 years before The Lord of the Rings saga. The moutain is not erupting. The eye of Sauron is beginning to form and eventually does in LOTR.

so it happens after the hobbit?

@@dark3rthanshadows Old comment, but basically at the start of this game Sauron returns to Mordor after being banished from his fortress in Mirkwood, so yes it does.

Also, the OP thought that at the end of the game Talion looks to mountain and senses the one ring has been destroyed, hence why he says 'The time has come for a new ring.' This is a simple mistake however, as the game is set straight after the hobbit.

They could’ve make The Black Hand boss battle like the bright lord dlc battle

Why do you think so if I may ask?

@@blaster23456 LOL The sword combat was perfect and makes you feel like a total unstoppable badass. EVERYTHING in Shadow of Mordor was so much better and well finished and made than trash of war. There's a reason why Shadow of Mordor won the GOTY and Trash of War did not lol Shadow of War is a very bad and unpolished game. I'm glad it didn't get nominated for game of the year

@@blaster23456 In Shadow of War the Orc cuscenes are WAY too long and too unserious. The shadow of War world is like you were in a clown world, not an orc world. Shadow of Mordor was much darker, more brutal and harsher than Shadow of War. Also the combat in Shadow of War is absolute trash. The story was kinda shit. Many many many things

@@blaster23456 Talion became such a pusy in Shadow of War lol did you see his face even the beard is gone, the devs really destroyed Shadow of War

Shadow of war improved in every way and is vastly superior to shadow of mordor.
