The Storm of War (bow) | Weapon Missions Middle-earth: SoM Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Location: Southern Black Road
Secondary objectives: You need to complete the mission within 5 minutes.
Requirements: The Ride Caragors skill
Right after you start this mission, use the Ride Caragors ability, i.e. press the key/button that makes you mount the caragor. You need to complete the minigame, thanks to which you will harness the beast. You can now go hunting and, if you also want to complete the secondary objective, you will have to make it within 5 minutes. Fortunately, this is lots of time and, even if you make a mistake, you should easily make it.
After you run into the first orc patrol, DO NOT USE the sword, nor have the caragor bite the enemies. Instead, use the bow (preferably, at a long distance), without dismounting the caragor. It would be a good thing, if your concentration bar was as long as possible, because you will then be able to eliminate the orc without disabling the concentration mode. You need to kill a total of 10 orcs, with the bow and since there is a lower number of opponents on each patrol, you will have to jump, at least, two patrol parties. Have the caragor run to reach them faster.
Note - Take care of the caragor's health, during the mission and, if it sustains heavier damage, have it to feed on the nearby, weaker orcs. Thanks to this, it will return to full health.
Rewards for completing the mission:
- 400 experience points
- 150 gold pieces (Mirian)
- 50 gold pieces (Mirian) - only if you have completed the secondary objective of the mission
