The Dark Rider (sword) | Weapon Missions Middle-earth: SoM Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Location: Celon Poros (Nurn)
Secondary objectives: You need to have the harnessed caragor bite five enemies to death.
Requirements: The Ride Caragors ability
Right after this mission starts, use the Ride Caragors ability, i.e. press the appropriate key/button. You need to complete the minigame that allows you to tame the beast. At this point, countdown starts and you have 3 minutes and 20 seconds to eliminate three groups of orcs. The time limit is tight so, you need to hurry.
I recommend that you start with the group that is stationed the closest to the starting point. As you ride, hold down the running key/button thanks to which you will get there faster. After you get there, you can use the sword, or the bow, to kill/ wound the orcs. Also, remember about the secondary objective so, after you have weakened an orc, hold down the appropriate key/button to have the caragor bite the orc to death (this also regenerates the beast's health). Kill, at least, five orcs this way. The mission ends after you have killed all of the marked orcs.
Note - The caragor's premature death does not end this mission in a failure, but it is much more difficult to complete the mission in time.
Rewards for completing the mission:
- 400 experience points
- 450 gold pieces (Mirian)
- 50 gold pieces (Mirian) - only if you have completed the secondary objective
