Shadow and Flame (bow) | Weapon Missions Middle-earth: SoM Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Location: Fern Outskirts (Nurn)

Secondary objectives: You cannot take damage.

Right after this mission starts, you will have to defend yourself, because the small hill that you are standing on, will be attacked by the enemy archers. To complete this mission, you need to kill a total of 30 orcs and you need to do that by targeting the explosive grog barrels, just like the one shown in the above screenshot. The important piece of news is that while aiming at the barrels, you do not need to draw the bowstring to its fullest extent. Therefore, try to limit the times between the individual shots, thanks to which the concentration bar (slowing down of time) will last you for longer.

Note - Do not walk outside of the green circle on the map, because you will fail the mission this way!

While fighting, also remember about the side objective. The only way to avoid taking damage is hide behind sandbags, between the individual attacks. Lean out from behind the bags only for short moments, only to take the shot in sol-down mode. Also, try not to go for new arrows too often, because you then risk taking damage (before this mission starts, it is a good idea to buy the attribute that increase the maximum of arrows that you can carry).

Rewards for completing the mission:

• 400 experience points
• 550 gold pieces (Mirian)
• 50 gold pieces (Mirian) - only if you have completed the secondary objective
