20b: Mordor in Flames | Main missions Middle-earth: SoM Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Requirements to start the mission: You need to complete first part of the final mission - "Lord of Mordor"
Note - The final mission of the game consists of two parts. On this page, you can find the walkthrough for the second part - "Mordor in Flames". If you want to learn about the first part, see the page entitled "20a: Lord of Mordor ".
Note - You will be allowed to return to Mordor after you complete the game's storyline. Therefore, you do not need to complete all of the activities, before you start your final mission.
You return to your mission after Talion returns to Udun and you start riding a caragor. Ignore the battles around you and head Northwards of the starting point, towards the Black Gate.
After you get there, you will learn that you need to eliminate... five enemy Warchiefs subordinate directly to Sauron (Talon of the Hand). Fortunately, this is not a lost cause, because Talion is accompanied by the Warchiefs that he has branded. If, in the first part of the final mission, none of them has died, you will have five Warchiefs on your side.
It is best to start the battle using the caragor to deal quick damage to the enemy orcs. You only need to stay away from those of the orcs that grow in strength while around a caragor and from the ones that can instantly kill the beasts.
It is best to start the fights proper only after the caragor dies. I strongly recommend that you attack the Warchiefs one-by-one because, for the obvious reasons, they are very tough. I recommend that you, at the same time, deal with the regular orcs and bring up the multiplier, thanks to which you unlock special attacks. In the meantime, keep an eye on the branded Warchiefs. If you see the Warchief being attacked, help him.
Continue fighting and eliminate the Warchiefs subordinate to Sauron. Your Warchiefs may also die yet, if you have followed my suggestions, and branded them only after their Power level has gone up, the probability of this to happen is lower. What is even more, their death does not cause you to fail the mission and only make winning more difficult. After you kill all five Warchiefs, spend a moment o collecting the runes from them (high probability of epic runes).
Head towards the Black Gate. You need to reach the very top of the scaffolding standing next to it and the best way to do that, is use the wooden ladders, just like the one in the above screenshot.
After the cutscene ends, you start the final battle against Sauron. It is not a battle, per se, and only a collection of not too demanding minigames. You need to:
- Tap the keys/buttons that appear on the screen (example in screenshot 1)
- Move the pointer into the centers of circles and tap the required keys/buttons (example in screenshot 2)
- Mash the key/button specified by the game, up until the bar fills up (example in screenshot 3)
After you have completed all of the minigames, you win and this completes the storyline! Congratulations!
Note - After you see the final credits, you return to Mordor, where you will be able to complete all of the additional activities (side missions, collectibles, attacking Captains and Warchiefs, etc.).
Rewards for completing the mission:
- 1000 experience points
