They Shall Not Pass (sword) | Weapon Missions Middle-earth: SoM Guide

Location: Tol Crossing (Nurn)

Secondary objectives: You need to push the orcs from the bridge.

Quite unusually, there is a set time limit to complete this mission. You have four minutes to defend the bridge and prevent any of the orcs with torches, from reaching its other end (an example of such an opponent in the above screenshot - they are marked with yellow dots). You can eliminate the marked orcs in any way you want, but I recommend that you use the bow and headshots, or explode the barrels on the bridge.

Take the grabbed orc over to the edge of the bridge and throw him off

The orcs with torches are not the only ones to appear on the bridge. You should also watch out for the other monsters that you can either eliminate or brand (if you have the Brand ability unlocked). Do not engage them in battle too much, because you can miss one of the orcs with torches and fail the mission. At the same time, make sure that you have completed the secondary objective, before the four minutes elapse. You can attack the orcs, whenever they come near one of the edges, or grab them, take them over to the edge and throw them off.

Rewards for completing the mission:

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