The Lord of the Hunt New Enemies — Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Walkthrough

Guide to the Lord of the Hunt DLC for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Learn about new enemies like Beastmaster Warchiefs, new beasts, quests, and mechanics.

Hey there! So you've jumped into the 'Lord of the Hunt' DLC for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. It's a pretty cool expansion where you team up with Torvin, a Dwarven Hunter, to take on some new threats. You'll be facing off against Beastmaster Warchiefs, who are Uruks specifically trained to control Mordor's dangerous wildlife. These guys are tough and unique, appearing in every playthrough. Get ready to ride some new beasts into battle too! You can mount the Wretched Graug to unleash toxin on your enemies, stalk foes on the predatory Caragath, or even summon a Ghûl Horde. Plus, there are five new Epic Runes to make your mount even more powerful, and a new character skin that makes Talion look like the ultimate hunter. Don't forget to look for pages of Torvin's diary scattered around Nurnen to uncover more lore. This DLC also introduces new missions and challenges, including Beast Hunting challenges that can earn you new trophies and achievements. You'll also get to test your skills in the 'Test of the Wild' where you can climb the leaderboards. Here's a quick rundown of the quests you'll encounter: Main Quests (Torvin): - Matrons Rising - Swift Tracking - Unwarranted Aggression - Hypocritical Oath Beastmaster Warchief Quests: - Call of the Caragath - Stronghold Uprising - Blasted Uruks! - No Rest For The Wretched - Homewrecker Legend of the Hunter Quests: - From Hunter to Hunted - Heaving Rampage - Belching Monstrosity - A Feast of Flesh - Beast Master A couple of things to keep in mind: - The Beastmasters and their armies have some unique abilities. Some Uruks will focus on killing your mounts, so be prepared to fight on foot sometimes. - During the mission to hunt Ashgam the Smuggler, you'll need to dismount the Warchief and his bodyguards before you can actually harm them. Don't waste your time shooting if they're mounted! - Chronologically, this DLC happens after you defeat the Legendary Graug and the Tower of Sauron, but before you face the Black Hand and the Dark Lord at Narcost. It's a bit odd that Talion's appearance changes so drastically without explanation, but hey, it's the Lord of the Hunt! - You'll notice that Celebrimbor is pretty quiet throughout this DLC, with most of the narration coming from Torvin. Also, even though you're fighting new beasts, Uruks might still mention the old ones like 'Caragors' and 'Graugs' – it's just a small oversight. Have fun out there, hunter!
