Easy "Vertical Mobility" trophy​

First, let a random Orc kill you. Then, play the resulting Vendetta mission and recruit the Orc (hold Circle to dominate him when his health is low). Go to the army menu, press Triangle on your new Captain, then press X on the current Overlord to make them switch positions and get the "Vertical Mobility" trophy. The earliest you can do this is after capturing the fortress in Núrnen. You need to be in control of the region's fortress to reposition the Captain. Also, you cannot recruit Orcs that are a higher level than your own. If the Orc is a higher level, write down his name, level up, and come back to recruit him later. Sometimes the reposition option is greyed out. If that happens, make someone else Overlord and try again, or issue the reposition command to your Overlord directly (instead of commanding the Captain).

Easy "Wild Things" trophy​

The best place to do this is at the Haedir fast travel point in the middle of Núrnen. Keep advancing time by pressing Circle on the fast travel point. Do this until a Drake spawns (usually within 1-5 tries). Make sure you have the "Call Mount" skill and "Graug Call" upgrade equipped. Both are mounted skills. Call a Graug and chase after the Drake, then shoot it with some arrows. However, do not "break" the Drake (meaning its icon cannot turn green). Go to an open area and wait for the Drake to attack you with its flames. While the Drake breathes fire, shoot it in the head to force it to the ground. Then, attack it with the Graug to quickly kill it. You can also perform a few more headshots while it is on the ground for bonus damage. If you "break" the Drake in the air, it will try to escape. Keep its health above 50%. Drakes can also land during combat without shooting them, but this rarely happens. The only guaranteed way is to shoot it in the head while it breathes fire.

Easy fight pit wins​

If your Orc is about to lose at a fight pit, simply quit the game and retry again until he wins.

Easy XP in Act 4​

The best and quickest way to gain lots of XP in Act 4 is by losing your keeps instead of defending them. You earn a lot more experience by retaking a fort than you will successfully defending it. You get approximately 50k XP for successfully defending a fort, while you get approximately 160k XP for failing to defend a fort and then retaking it. For more XP, add White Gems to your armor for a small XP buff. Upgrade them for even more XP. When losing a fort, you do not lose Warchiefs or Overlords. Overlords are captured, so if you want to keep them, you will have to complete a rescue mission later. You can send out Orcs to save him. To make things easier, replace your good Overlords with useless ones before losing. There is (currently) a bug that makes the rescue mission sometimes never appear. To avoid potentially losing your best Uruks, leave some spaces open and swap terrible Overlords into your fort. For every fort defense quest, simply lose the fort and retake it for around three times the regular amount of XP you would earn.

Ultimate Build By DeeJay_Curry
Strong build in SOW

Four pieces of legendary outlaw gear & two pieces of ringwraith = My ultimate build





Sword - Blackguard sword/ legendary outlaw



trait no.1 - 55% increased melee damage against enraged enemies

- Since slmost every player put a lot of berserkers in their fortresses, so the sword comes in handy.



trait no.2 - Critical hits have a 50% chance to freeze enemies.

- Freezing your enemies makes them look like icy snowman. woo christmas!!



Dagger - Blackguard dagger/ legendary outlaw



trait no.1 - 80% increased stealth damage against enraged enemies.

- like i mentioned before, since there is a lot of bersekers in players fortresses, the dagger comes in handy.



tarit no.2 - 50 might gain on a stealth kill

- use chain stealth to get rid of a bunch of grunts and you will gain as many might as possible to defeat captains.



Bow - Blackguard bow/ legendary outlaw



trait no.1 - 55% increased ranged damage against enraged enemies



trait no.2 - 3 might fain per ranged attack hit



Armor - Servant's Blackened armor/ legendary ringwraith



trait no.1 - Allied grunts have a 40% chance to resurrect when they die

- now you don't have to press T to resurrect grunts, saving might to DO SOMETHING ELSE!



trait no.2 - 25% chance that a critical hit applies frost.



Cloak - Mask of the Undying/ legendary ringwraith



trait no.1 - Water of lorien and spectral dash cost no focus, melee damage and stealth damage will increase by 33% for 5 seconds after use.

- the reason why i recommend you guys using this, because when you poisoned or cursed, you lose focus to sprint and become slow to move, with the mask, you are able to dash to anyhwere you want.



trait no.2 - undead allies take 50% less damage



Rune - Blackguard rune/ legendary outlaw



trait no.1 - Followers deal 100% increased damage against enraged enemies

- thie rune is extremely useful in conquest, enemies will be on the ground within seconds, especially when it comes to berserkers.



trait no.2 - eleven rage lasts 33% longer

- you often get full wraith after entering the throne, by putting the rune on talion's finger, you can do more combat execution, etc... on overlord after pressing 5
