Fatal Secrets (dagger) | Weapon Missions Middle-earth: SoM Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Location: Celon Poros (Nurn)
Secondary objectives: You need to kill, at least, two orcs with the Lethal Shadow Strike.
Requirements: The Lethal Shadow Strike ability
This mission is not as difficult as it may seem, at first, although you need to take successive steps carefully. The plan is that you follow the enemy messenger and kill the informants that he meets. You need to kill, a total of, four informants this way. An additional handicap is that you need to stay in shadows and complete the mission within 8 minutes. Fortunately, if you are not lagging behind, anywhere, you should have, around, 5 spare minutes, towards the end of the mission. The important piece of news is that the informants will not be automatically identifiable. After the messenger stops anywhere, you need to come sufficiently close. Only then, the informant will be marked with a green icon.
While following the messenger, you do not need to follow his path. As a matter of fact, this is recommended against, because you will be running into the other orcs, along your path. Of course, you can take advantage of such situations and complete the secondary objective of performing two Lethal Shadow Strikes, but it is best to steer clear of them, in general. It is also necessary that you use the Wraith mode to your advantage, because this will make it easier to locate the opponents that you pass by (some orcs on the lower ledges are well-hidden) and allow you to get around them safely.
As for the informants themselves, kill them only after they are done talking to the messenger and he walks sufficiently far away. Thanks to this, he will not notice the kill. You can eliminate the informants in a variety of ways - by getting them from behind, using the bow or by teleporting. In the case of the last two informants, it is a good idea to climb onto the upper ledges of the ruins. This will make it easier to plan on attacks and, at the same time, avoid the patrolling orcs.
To end the mission, you also need to kill the messenger, which is a piece of cake. Especially that you do not need to sneak anymore. Personally, I recommend that you eliminate the messenger with the bow, or with the Lethal Shadow Strike. Thanks to this, you will not need to deal with his guards in the first place.
Rewards for completing the mission:
- 400 experience points
- 550 gold pieces (Mirian)
- 50 gold pieces (Mirian) - only if you have completed the secondary objective
