Talion convinces Celebrimbor to hang around and continue their buddy-cop story. Talion and Celebrimbor didn’t kill Sauron, but they did overcome some of his lackeys.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War picks up shortly after the end of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. There’s a lot more that happens in the first game - other characters and tie-ins and cameos - that we won’t get into here because they don’t really impact what you need to know going into the second one. (Spoiler: They don’t kill Sauron all the way.) They spent the first game murdering and/or mind-controlling Sauron’s servants in and around Mordor until they had a final confrontation with Sauron. Talion’s fighting prowess and Celebrimbor’s wraith abilities turn them into a formidable pair. Sauron (who was calling himself Annatar at the time) guided Celebrimbor to make the Rings of Power - “Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, nine for mortal Men, doomed to die.” Celebrimbor has some guilt about the whole helping-the-Dark-Lord thing, so Talion and Celebrimbor team up to take on Sauron and his forces. During Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, we learn that the wraith is the Elf Lord Celebrimbor, the greatest Elven smith. Talion is brought back to not-quite-life by a wraith in a shared-body kind of situation. Things didn’t go great for Talion (or his family), and he wakes up dead before the first game even starts.
You play as Talion, a human ranger who was stationed at the Black Gate of Mordor. Bilbo’s safely back in the Shire with a shiny new ring in his pocketses, and his “nephew” (first and/or second cousin once removed, technically) Frodo is not yet even a twinkle in Drogo Baggins’ eye (there’s still almost 30 years to go for that).
Premise and some loreīoth games take place during the 60-year span between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring. So let’s talk through everything you need to remember (or learn for the first time) in Middle-earth: Shadow of War. And the game is not exactly forthcoming with tutorials, tips or hints. It’s very hard to shake the rust off if you played the first game. It’s sequel, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, however, is not so forgiving.
