Shadow of War: Celebrimbor's missions
Middle-earth: Shadow of War features missions known as Shadows of the Past - here, you play as Celebrimbor and you have to recreate his heroic acts. These missions are rather easy to complete but you can also try to win a trophy: bronze (for completing a mission), silver (usually you have some additional restrictions, e.g. you can't use your sword) and gold (you must complete a mission within a time limit or finish an additional objective). On this page of our guide we described all Celembrimbor missions.
