Set in a time long before the main game, there seem to be more fortresses dotted around, but that’s about the only difference. Once up, they act in the same way, allowing you a means of fast travel around the (admittedly smaller) map. Instead of seeking out Celebrimbor’s crumbling towers, you instead capture Uruk outposts and erect the towers. He doesn’t need anyone’s guidance aside the odd cue from Galadriel, and his focus is unshakeable.

The big dynamic shift this time round is that instead of being led around by various other characters, the Bright Lord is very much his own Elf. Armed with the One Ring, Celebrimbor is on a one-man mission to enslave the Dark Lord’s Uruk army and claim his vengeance. The Bright Lord is a lone badass with a serious vendetta against Sauron, who has betrayed him and taken his family prisoner. Still, Celebrimbor is hardly a shrinking violet himself. Celebrimbor, the Elven lord partly responsible for crafting the Rings of Power, is thrust front and centre now in a ten-mission retelling of the final days of his conflict with Sauron.Īs before, you begin with all the skills unlocked, which makes up for the fact that the enemies have an increased level cap of 25 and are mostly granite hard. Similarly to last year’s less than stellar Lord of the Hunt DLC, the Bright Lord takes the action outside of Shadow of Mordor‘s main campaign, this time giving us a new protagonist altogether.
