In the Flesh | Outcast Rescue Missions Middle-earth: SoM Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Location: Cab-Gwanath Bluff (Nurn)
Side objectives: Kill five orcs using caragors (requires the Ride Caragors ability).
The marker for this mission is on a ledge, high above in the ruins. This mission is quite difficult, because you need to keep racing against time, all the way through. Before you take to this mission, it is also advisable that you learn the Ride Caragors ability. You need to reach the imprisoned (there are five of them) in the correct order and you have 2 minutes to save each one. Each time, start by using the arrow to free the captive caragor (an example in the above screenshot).
After you free the caragor, stand on one of the ledges, above the raging beast and press the harnessing key/button. Complete the minigame to dominate the caragor. Then, fight to clear the area and, at the same time, complete the secondary objective. If you want to do that, you need to kill five orcs, while riding the beast, and do not worry if you fail the first time around. There still will be opportunities to do that. Still, try to care about the caragor. Avoid being attacked by the stronger orcs and feed on the knocked down enemies, thanks to which the beast regains some of its health.
Each time, keep fighting up until you have 40 seconds left. Depending on the surroundings, either dismount the caragor or (in the case of if it is dead) get away from the enemies and dash towards the prisoner. You need to have some spare time, in case that the orcs obstruct you from freeing the prisoner. The good news is that after you free an outcast, the countdown starts over . However, note that the individual outcasts are kept in distant encampments so, without the caragor, reaching them takes some time (on average, thirty seconds). This means that you need to hurry at all times and you should eliminate the enemies only when necessary for the completion of the main/secondary objective.
Rewards for completing the mission:
- 400 experience points
- 400 gold pieces (Mirian)
- 50 gold pieces (Mirian) - only if you have completed the secondary objective
