Gaining information on the members of Sauron's Army | Sauron's Army (Nemesis System) Middle-earth: SoM Guide

It has been mentioned on the previous page that, at first, Talion knows virtually nothing about the members of Sauron's army. As a result, sooner or later, you need to perform certain actions that let you learn about them, as well as their strong and weak points.

The most obvious way to obtain information is to interrogate the regular orcs. The game allows you to interrogate each orc that you run into. Unfortunately, most of them cannot provide you with advanced knowledge and, at best, you can learn what the orc in question looks like and what his name is. If you want to learn more (strong and weak points of Sauron's minions) you need to search out an orc with a green icon above his head. Enemies of this type are also marked on the world map and an example orc informant has been presented in the above screenshot.

Note - for more detail, you can also interrogate weakened Captains (you weaken them with your attacks). They can provide you with the same knowledge as the abovementioned informants.

You need to grab an orc and confirm that you want to interrogate him

In itself, it is not easy to interrogate an orc, because you need to make sure that you will not be interrupted, in the process. Therefore, it is best to kill the monsters around, in the first place, and do your bidding afterwards. You need to grab the orc and press the key/button that initiates the interrogation process.

After that, the window of the Sauron's army opens, which allow you to decide what to do. You can:

• Reveal the army member that you know nothing about (the blacked out silhouette). depending on whether you are interrogating a regular opponent or an informant, you can either learn the name of the orc only, or get the full information on him (strong and weak points).
• Learn more about the orc whose identity you already know. In this case, you will learn more about his weak and strong points. This has been described later in this guide.

If you want to learn about all the members of the Sauron's Army, you need to perform a total of several tens of interrogations (this is not required). You can, just as well, focus on several Captains of Warchiefs of your choice and try to learn more about them. The game grants you lots of freedom, when it comes to that.

One of the alternative ways to learn about the members of Sauron's Army is to find interactive documents, like the one in the above screenshot. The main upside of this method is that you only need to collect such a document, without the necessity to fight battles, or risk Talion's life in any other way.

You can see the Outcast and obtain intelligence data

Yet another method is to meet the Outcasts. At this point, I recommend that you learn about Outcast Rescue Missions, because this raises the odds of meeting a friendly character that has the knowledge that you require. Before you meet up with the marked Outcast, (the well-known green icon), you need to clear the area of monsters. The meeting itself is very short because it opens the Sauron's Army window immediately.
