It’s been a little while since we’ve heard anything from Middle-earth, but word is spreading across the land of a new gameplay video and it just so happens that we have it.
In this newest release from the gameplay series of Shadow of Mordor videos we get a peek at the weaponry as well as potential runes to accompany them. The runes are able to enhance the power of Talion’s weapons and you can obtain them from fallen enemies. There are ways to ensure an Epic rune drop occurs as you will see in the video below which is pretty awesome, especially once the rune is placed in his weapon.
There are also a number of pre-order bonuses exclusively at UK retailers and we’d say they are rune-tastic, have a read about the four runes you can get your hands on –
- Deadly Archer Rune – Talion will deal extra damage when executing ranged headshots against Sauron’s Captains.
- Flame of Arnor Rune – Talion can ignite his blade by achieving a high combo count and incinerate his enemies.
- Captain of the Watch / Hidden Blade Rune – “Captain of the Watch” character skin and the Hidden Blade Rune – Talion can deal extra damage when executing stealth attacks against Sauron’s Captains.
- Orc Slayer Rune – Talion will decimate Sauron’s Captains with increased damage from special attacks.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will launch worldwide on 7th October, 2014 for Xbox One and Xbox 360.
