Part 10 of our Middle Earth: Shadow of War playthrough picks up some time after the events in part 9. You and Baranor found Idri, or moreover she found you. Together you worked together to free captured soldiers of Gondor lost since the fall of Minas Ithil. In the process Baranor was captured and taken to an Uruk outpost in Gorgoroth. You set out to free him and luckily Idril and her men had the same thing in mind. The last you saw of Idril and Baranor they vowed to stay in Mordor until all of their people have been set free.

Memories of the Ancients

Now in Gorgoroth you set your sights on the Overlord’s of the territory. You once again begin by cleansing the seeing towers. More ancient secrets are revealed but this time something is different. Shelob warns she has seen a battle on top of a tower where a Dark Lord was defeated and Bright Lord took his place but the world did not change. You tell Celebrimbor she is scared of him, scared of what will become of Middle Earth once Sauron is defeated. More of Celebrimbor’s memories are uncovered as well, memories of him riding a fire breathing drake and holding back entire armies. He tells you in Mordor loyalty passes from orc to Captain to Overlord and eventually the chain of command ends in a ring of power. With all the secrets unearthed you collect the Bright Lord’s Sword from Celebrimbor’s Ancient Barrows.

The Conquest of Gorgoroth

Now you turn to the Overlord’s army. Once again you pit orc against orc, Captain against Captain. Through careful planning you send your spies to infiltrate every position of respect and importance. You use this to draw out the Warchief’s and have their bodyguards back stab them. With each betrayal you slip one of your own into the Overlord’s positions of trust. When the infiltration is complete you gather our forces on the ashen plains of Gorgoroth and lay siege to the fortress. As with Nurnen the siege is perfect. The overlord was clueless to the deceivers in his midst and he falls to your blade swiftly.

No Rest for the Wicked

After your victory you step out on to the balcony overlooking your great army. The cheering and stomping nearly shakes the very foundations of Mordor. You raise your arms and deliver your victory speech. The end is within our grasp. We have shown the Dark Lord our strength. We have taught him the folly of challenging us. Now he knows that the Bright Lord and his army will not be stopped. Mordor will soon be ours! The province of Gorgoroth is now yours but you are not done here yet. In the shadow of Mount Doom a dark and ancient evil awakens. It draws your attention away from the dark Lord and for now you must prepare yourself for the trials and tribulations of what comes next.
