I like you, you actually talk whilst doing speedruns, I have seen so many other people that are just silent the entire time and thats kinda boring, unless it's zelda. then it's just interesting with all the glitches they usually have.
You would love Darkviperau. He has made an entire series dedicated to his rambles, and he just got back to speedrunning after attempting to complete Gta V for over a year!
For me it's the opposite, i prefer the speedruns without commentary. Usually i prefer any gameplay without commentary, but speedruns specifically because you get the feeling they're focused and enjoying the speedrun. But if they talk, often times it becomes boring because it sounds like ''Just another day at the office, let's get this done quickly and go home''
It took me 30 hours to 100% this game. Then another 2 hours to 100% the DLC. Overall, This game was a gem. I love it. The only achievement/trophy I do not have now is the DLC challenge because it glitched and would not count my Warchief kills. Besides that glitch, I have no complaints of this game. 8.5/10. Worth playing at least once.
+Ch1l1C0nCarnag3 The game was amazing, so much hype built towards the last 2 boss battles, one was a perform 3 stealths, and the other was a quick time event. It was an 8.5 until those last 2 boss battles, then it quickly turned into a 3. Overall it's a game I loved but will never replay again, so much potential for those last 2 boss fights.
what are you talking about man this game is made for SRs you can chain almost everything and be in constant sprint, took me about 13-14 hours to 100% the game along with the 100% trophies
I played through this game in 5.5 hours watching every cutscene and dieing twice. I also probably did some unnecesary stuff like collecting a few of the ithildin and the weapon missions. Great run!
I am frankly going to sounds boastful here, so please excuse me for it. The first time that I actually played this game and got to the talon fight, I had a rapid firing orc on my side which one shot 1 talon at the start of the fight and a second one immediately after. After that he hit some accidentally killed two of my orcs and then proceeded to kill the third talon AND the fourth. The last one was range immune though, so i had to finish him myself :p
As someone who owns this game I have to say that the stealth system is both alright and total crap at the same time. You can walk 3 feet in front of an enemy if you are Crouched. You can sprint past many enemies without them fully noticing you. Rip immersion...
Hello fearful ferret, I just got a quick question with the run. When you are branding the warchiefs, what do you do if the only weakness of a warchief is explosions. Do you restart the run or is there another way to keep the warchief alive to brand him.
I once did a run where I was supposed to kill all warchiefs in the fastest time. I got on one of those huge trolls, went into an area that I knew one warchief was in. Ate him. Two other showed up. Ate them two. More kept showing up. I got seven down. One more, he killed my troll. I killed him, got another troll. Note: all this in under ten minutes. I killed three more warchiefs in the next five minutes, then I had to stop playing because of work. How fucking quick would that have been otherwise?
Bibble Yeh, I smell bullshit. It’s very rare that slot of captains will come too you, not only that but some you can only kill by activating their little brawl missions. You also have to fast travel or die for another Graug to show up. Quit lying.
Hello, I'm unsure if you may see this message, however, I am just now getting into speed running and I plan on starting with this game. Going to spend the next week or so learning the best pathing for this game one step at a time. I am curious about a couple things if you know the answers. I understand if not since it has been four years since your run. How does the three spiders save time as well as, what would you say is the hardest part about this game?
The miriam reward is presumably useful for something, but I don't remember what. The hardest part is probably dealing with difficult warchiefs; lots can go wrong and it can be difficult to formulate a good strategy for some of them. The actual instanced missions are all pretty easy by comparison. Good luck!
@@UBFearfulFerret I appreciate you messaging me back on this! I am learning a lot as I go considering I have never ran the game before so it will all be slow. I ran it yesterday for the first time, messing up a lot and got a time of 3 hours and forty minutes. About to try again
@@UBFearfulFerret I figured why the spiders help, make it so that you can get more arrows earlier on. However, I will ask, how can i speed up my time on the branding of warchiefs, and what is the best way to make sure that you can brand them? I keep accidentally killing them and not getting the chance to brand them
@@TheTexasWarrior09 No easy answer there. Get them to low health or trigger one of their fears. Sometimes they'll resist branding even with very low health and I never could find a solution to that.
@@UBFearfulFerret Well that sucks. I will admit I am new to the game and speedrunning so i am making a lot of mistakes. Aka Vulnerability to stealth and not stealth branding them.
I'm happy I play Shadow of Mordor on PS4, Playing on PC looks like I would forget the controls a lot, haha, I'm a loser. But, PC version looks smoother or the sensitivity is amped up a bit.
Shin Mufasa No wonder you had fuck all to do, you were playing on the 360. The game is totally different on Xbone, PS4 and PC. Last generation systems didn’t have the nemesis system, so no randomised enemy’s or cool random outfits, it was extremely cut and dry. I played through it on the PC and had a lot of time and fun put into the game. Currently sitting at nearly 500 hours, nearly 1.3k in shadow of war aswell.
This is really late but I'll answer you anyways even though I'm sure you've looked it up if you're really curious. The current 100% WR is 6:40:21 (6h 40m 21s) by BR4ECJlAB. However that record won't last much longer. There are new runners that are going to break that since BR4ECJlAB was the only runner for the 100% category before this. Myself (FranktheArcher) and a runner named TinYtus are also doing runs and I'm not sure what Tinys PB is I just PBed 2 days ago for 7:06:52 and I had bad RNG on the Warchiefs and messed up a few of the side quest multiple times. I'm expecting to break the record sometime within the next few weeks. Whenever I have time to do more runs
@allthatREMAINS Well nobody yet with prove you can see the list on www.speedrun.com/middle-earth_shadow_of_mordor i think it is possible. the community for this specific speedrun is small though so there isn't alot of optimizing or other stuff happening. But we keep trying so Fearful gets beaten after 5 years !
@@Blackellmo Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the deets! Gonna play through it again myself bc I wanted the dlc but only the GotY edition was up for grabs the past sale. Then get into SoW :) finally.
@@allthatremain5357 no problem. I have gotten shadow of war for over a year but haven't played it. I wanted som to 100% through before i go and beat sow and got stuck speedrunning this game hahahaha
great game, but for the game its supposed to be, its to easy especially the fighting, the fact i can just smash hit and block. is a bit odd, but overall great game
It's a stream upload and you can't edit speedrun footage. This guy is pretty cool as he's actually responding to chat while doing something so demanding.
Psycoholic2008 You people are fucking brain dead. He was streaming, so he was interacting with his chat. It’s what you do. He also can’t edit the fucking footage because it’s a speed run. Idiots.
Tony Hoffman How about you shut the fuck up? He was live-streaming, which means you interact with the people typing in chat, not only that but he never stopped, he physically couldn’t play more or faster, so being silent would have just made it boring. Fuck off.
I forgot how much I love that game. It's amazing how far it exceeded my expectations.
He did in 50 minutes what i did in 14 hours across the span of several weeks
GameSoda64 lol still haven't beaten it
My 100% file is at around 24hrs. My current speed run file is at like 6.
Psycoholic2008 my 100% file is 18 hours
I like you, you actually talk whilst doing speedruns, I have seen so many other people that are just silent the entire time and thats kinda boring, unless it's zelda. then it's just interesting with all the glitches they usually have.
GarrickkTheGreat yeah me too. but I understand it's because they need their full focus on the game.
Probably because they’ve ran the game hundreds of times and want to be able to focus to never play the game again 🤣 that’s what I’d do
You would love Darkviperau. He has made an entire series dedicated to his rambles, and he just got back to speedrunning after attempting to complete Gta V for over a year!

ranter I JUST FINISHED FUCKING DYING LIGHT THEY PULLED THE SAME SHIT GOT FUCKING DAMMIT
GONZO C Exactly!
+Ch1l1C0nCarnag3 I have beaten it once, and then rage uninstalled it. This game pissed me off so badly. Even more than Mass Effect 3-s ending!

the miliseconds you save by having fast reaction to counter is amazing.
i didnt even know SoM was even speed-runnable? how's it done? lucky battles and optimizing paths and strats? I muist know!!!

Sleepy Shinigami well if imagine it's because it's open world and the boss enemy's are constantly repopulated.

"I love dead bodies" ─FearfulFerret, 2014
I played through this game in 5.5 hours watching every cutscene and dieing twice. I also probably did some unnecesary stuff like collecting a few of the ithildin and the weapon missions. Great run!
Really ? How ?
This is a great game and a great run.
Jeez, what an anticlimactic ending...
1:48:45 I love how you were so far away, and yet you have to me notified that this guy has a fear of betrayal.
God, I love this game.
1 Day, 6 Hours, 12 Minutes and 50 Seconds until SHADOW OF WAR HYYYYYYYYYYYPE
for some reason this game looks more fun then the second one
It is, I've played both and I'm not sure why I liked the first one more.
My biggest issue with this game is the QTE fights at the end. I don't get it. After the Hammer I thought I was in for some good final bosses :(
How did you loot the green marked orc on 18:00 minute ? For hints ? And how do you do it on ps4 ?
in my first playthrough of shadow of mordor, one of the warchiefs was burning supporters, and i thought you had to grab them and throw them in fires.
Looking back, I think I got the worst possible war chiefs on my fist play through.
what an entertaining run.
I am frankly going to sounds boastful here, so please excuse me for it.
The first time that I actually played this game and got to the talon fight, I had a rapid firing orc on my side which one shot 1 talon at the start of the fight and a second one immediately after. After that he hit some accidentally killed two of my orcs and then proceeded to kill the third talon AND the fourth. The last one was range immune though, so i had to finish him myself :p
How do you run?????? Cause I’m having trouble
As someone who owns this game I have to say that the stealth system is both alright and total crap at the same time. You can walk 3 feet in front of an enemy if you are Crouched. You can sprint past many enemies without them fully noticing you. Rip immersion...
Branding the first talon makes them friendly so you skip that whole fight so this could be even faster
Hello fearful ferret, I just got a quick question with the run.
When you are branding the warchiefs, what do you do if the only weakness of a warchief is explosions.
Do you restart the run or is there another way to keep the warchief alive to brand him.
im pretty sure the warchiefs allow you to dominate them when they get down low enough instead of having to grab them
Port guy didn’t raise a single cent the whole time
Why is keen eyed the best rune just out of curiosity
+Camden Peacock pretty sure it restores focus (slow mo bow power) every headshot, so you can chain headshots for unlimited slow mo.
Can someone please who plays PC post on here the trials of war records??? All 7 with elite and general leaderboards. Please please!
t wrecks em t wrecks em Just look at the leaderboards yourself... If you can’t it probably means you torrented the game.
Is there any runs that include the dlc?
Have you ever had a captain named Dûsh appear in your runs?
Yes, he's fairly common, as is Zogdûsh and probably a few other dûshes.
FearfulFerret I also like how it's technically possible to run into an orc named Dûsh Bag-Head.
theenglishman I have a guy named Azdush the Metal Beard and he is awesome!!! ~30 power
I once did a run where I was supposed to kill all warchiefs in the fastest time.

I killed three more warchiefs in the next five minutes, then I had to stop playing because of work.
How fucking quick would that have been otherwise?
Do you mean captains? Warchiefs don't just show up. You have to do specific mission related tasks for them to.
iamblakeman Then captains.
Bibble Yeh, I smell bullshit. It’s very rare that slot of captains will come too you, not only that but some you can only kill by activating their little brawl missions. You also have to fast travel or die for another Graug to show up.
Quit lying.
i know its late but is it a short game?? cuz its free in like
3 days or something.
yeah its short
jasper huu If you want to 100% it it's pretty long
jasper huu around 12 hours to complete the story of you just playing casually.
Rushing from mission to mission it’ll probably take around 9 hours.

Hi do you have any plans on speed running Bioshock Infinite again?
No immediate plans, though I will return to it at some point.
why did he already have brand and fury unlocked?
Daveeeee888 New game plus.
I'm happy I play Shadow of Mordor on PS4, Playing on PC looks like I would forget the controls a lot, haha, I'm a loser. But, PC version looks smoother or the sensitivity is amped up a bit.
+PurplePlutonium you can connect wired controllers to your PC
+Gimli son of Gloín And wireless bluetooth ones with an adapter.
PurplePlutonium Yes, it’s much smoother, running at over 60fps compared to a locked 30fps on consoles.

Mmmm Took me 72 hours and 41 minutes to complete the game
if you brand the first talon you can skip the fight
i cant run whlie im in stealth in pc
Tha hack? lol
You can run in stealth, you have to hold whatever your sprint key is as well as crouch
Luiz Felipe Triques You hold shift and space bar down at the same time, idiot.
great game, but for the game its supposed to be, its to easy especially the fighting, the fact i can just smash hit and block. is a bit odd, but overall great game

it was is fucking nice i think...
technically i have the world record I completed in 1:34:47 But i have no recording and no way of proving it. -_-
On joue pareil tout les deux enfin presque... :) progresse. .
