The game is split into four Acts - a beginning, a middle, an end, and an epilogue - each driven by character-specific plot lines, and your progression through the first Act is largely determined for you. Our Shadow of War walkthrough, guide and tips explain how progression works in this sprawling open-world adventure, amass an army and tackle Fortresses, and hunt down the many kinds of collectibles.
Shadow of War builds upon the storyline and many mechanics of 2014's surprise hit Shadow of Mordor, introducing a greater Middle-earth storyline and the return of a dynamic Nemesis system.
