Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Shadow of Mordor is a fun game i play. It is just like the movies: Hobbit, and, Lord of the Rings. They are mixed together to make one big game. There are many forms of different monsters to attack. One of the many around the free roam world is called an "Uruk". They are just like the rest of the monsters in this game, but are the very basic. There are big cats that they try to kill or are killed by called "Caragors". They are big cats with body armor and are very strong and have alot of health. You usually don't want to mess with them in the beginning of the game. It is best when you get the ability to mount them. These are only 2 of the monsters in Shadow Of Mordor.
         In Shadow Of Mordor there is a variety of different monsters. Two of those monsters are "Caragors , and Uruks". Another one of these monsters is a captain. They are Uruks but are stronger with different weaknesses and strengths. They are usually harder to defeat then others. But some captains can die very easily with ranged attacks. For example you can head shot the captains with the weakness "Weak to Ranged Attacks" and be able to either kill them or injure them badly. When they are strong to ranged attacks it means they can take hits from ranged attacks and not be hurt by them. Another Uruk is called a "War chief". They are much stronger then captains and Uruks and are very rare. There is only 5 War Chiefs at a time in the "Saurons Army". Saurons army is all of the uruks that are captains or War Chiefs. War chiefs have very little weaknesses and have more strengths. Another monster is called a "Graug". The Graug is a very huge troll. He does alot of damage and has more health then anything in the game. You don't want to mess with these ever because they are really strong. Graugs like to kill Caragors and eat them as a snack. The Graugs can kill over 50 Caragors at a time and still have full health. The only thing that is bad about a Graug is that they are very slow, but their big weapon makes up for it. These are only some of the monsters in Shadow Of Mordor.
          Another thing in Shadow of Mordor is the Ability system. With the ability system you can do many things. One of the abilities is the ability to mount Caragors. When you try to mount Caragors you hit The button that flashes on the screen. To get the button that flashes on the screen you have to be on a higher level then the Caragor. For example if the Caragor was in a cage, you have to be on the cage and let it out then hit the button that flashes on the screen. Another ability that you can get is called execution. When you are at an 8 kill streak you can press the button assigned to the skill to instantly kill an enemy. When you are using executing an enemy the other enemies are coming at you in slow motion. Some enemies will get scared when you kill the enemy with execution and try running away. Another ability in the ability system is called "Wraiths Flash". You also have to get an 8 kill streak to use it. When you activate it using the key assigned to the skill you stun near by enemies. When you use the ability it creates an explosion. A lot of the time when you use this ability you want a lot of enemies around you, to have the full affect. Most of the time its useful when you are about to die. When you are near full health you want to use execution instead of Wraith's flash. When you activate an ability you have to wait to get another 8 hit streak to be able to use another one again. Once you kill an enemy with execution some others may flee. When you kill a Caragor enemys also might flee. When enemies flee it tells others to flee as well, if your lucky enough. If you get the others to flee you will be able to hit them without being hit.
          Later on in the game you can mount different types of monsters (2 at the moment). One of them is a Caragor. The Caragor can be mounted in many different ways. The most popular is in the late game. When you have shadow strike and then get to a certain mission it upgrades to shadow mount. When you aim at a Caragor in Wraith mode and you use shadow mount you teleport  on them and tame them right away. Then you can ride freely (All monsters that you can ride in some way allow you to use Shadow Mount). The latest monster that you can ride is a Graug! You can use shadow mount just like the Caragor or you can do it the hard way. When you want to mount a Graug without using shadow mount it is very hard. First of all you have to get it to start eating Caraogrs or Uruuks. When it is doing that you go to its ankle and make it bleed (Will have the button to press in the bottom right hand corner). Then you press the button and it will get angry and start charging you. When it charges you, you want to shoot it with elf shot in the head. When it gets shot in the head it will become stunned (Only when it is charging). Then you go behind it and hit the button to mount it. When you mount it there is alot of counters you have to do, but in the end its worth it.
         In the really late part of the game, you have to fight many different bosses, most of them are very hard and frustrating. The boss  =====>
is called the legendary Graug. It is much harder then the other ones. It can also heal very easily. But there is one down side to the monstrous creature. Once you kill him, he is dead forever. He is usually very hard to get to be stunned. You shoot him in the head when he is charging you, just like the other Graugs. When you do this he will hit a wall and be stunned. Them you go up to him jump on his back and start stabbing him. Then you will have to press buttons hurting him.
          Another boss is the Black hand of Sauron. He controls the uruuks and caragors and Graugs. He is easy to defeat but very hard to get to. You don't attack him, you counter all of his abilities and then he dies. Eventually you will want to try to kill his "Guard". His guard is very hard to defeat.The guards name is "The Tower". He is a very hard boss to defeat. He is the hardest boss to defeat in the late game. When trying to kill him you have to start elf draining or branding him. If he catches you he starts killing you then teleports away. When he teleports you are laying on the ground injured, that is of course if he catches you. If you aren't caught and brand him he teleports away injured and you aren't.
