The game is set in five regions and I approached each one in the same way to streamline the process. Also activating all of the fast travel points, the 'Haedir' will unlock the ' Purge' achievement, so you need to activate them all anyway. There are collectibles but they are tied to the fast travel towers, as when you reach a fast travel tower you can activate it and then use it to find all of the Gondorian artifacts, the Shelob memories and the Ithildin shards, which all need to be collected for the ' Finished Tales', ' The Web Revealed' and ' Speak Friend and Enter' achievements respectively. You should play the game without worrying too much about achievements as they are mostly straightforward and some of the miscellaneous ones can be done at any time while others need certain skills unlocked so you won't be able to do them right away, you also have a very high chance of unlocking some of them as you play as they largely involve actions that you will be performing as you play and build your Orc army. This includes the apparent toning down of any grinding for achievements.Ī note on the one missable achievement it is very difficult to miss but to be sure read the description for ' It Came From Within' before getting too far into the game so that you are aware of what you need to do for it. Note: This guide was written after the update that removed micro-transactions that allegedly altered how the game worked.

There are 2 achievements that I labelled as 'Online', though the online is actually done offline, but your actions are done against other players fortresses or against Orcs that killed other players online, so a connection to the internet is required for them. The achievements for this game are fairly straight forward and most can be done as you play the game with only a small mop-up at the end. The gameplay has been vastly improved from the previous game making fighting more challenging, but more fun and traversing the world much easier and more gratifying. Welcome back to Mordor! In Shadow of War you once again take on the mantle of the undead ranger Talion to bring Mordor to it's knees using it's own army against it.
