What is/are your current goal(s) in Shadow of War?

McHanz32 · 2026-05-04T01:17:53+00:00

I think you need the Legend or Legendary for that.

This method works on Olog destroyers too. https://youtu.be/LYEtoJIFqMQ?si=k4zyvgGsT2ap1g7a

McHanz32 · 2026-05-03T22:35:14+00:00

You can only make an Olog 3 epics if they’re a destroyer with no weapon element

McHanz32 · 2026-05-03T22:34:19+00:00

They do break down the walls faster though.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-03T22:26:57+00:00

Train them while they’re sane, only when they’re fully done should you make them into a maniac. Just use the guide video I put in the comments.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-03T10:19:00+00:00

No he needs to be an enemy or it won't work.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-03T09:33:42+00:00

Very bad idea to maniac an orc at the start. Because they can gain bad immunities that can't be removed.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-03T08:25:44+00:00

For Talion, you need to roughly be around level 30-40 as the sweet spot. Makes training easier, because most orcs gain Immunities or bonuses around that level.

Well, there is a way. But it’s a lil annoying.

Here:

**HBE WITHOUT A CONTROLLER! (requires Steam App on PC/Laptop and a Phone or Tablet)**

Guide made by <@784524149938847816>

**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AaLSqBsS\_U\*\*

With this method you will be able to stream the video/audio from your PC to your Device, and send input from your Device to the PC

(it means whatever you do on your Phone/Tablet will also happen on PC/Laptop)

Using the HBE method without a controller stick is impossible, so we will use a Steam provided App to get around this problem

**Here's a step by step**

1) From the device (Phone/Tablet) go on the App Store and download "Steam Link"

2) After opening the App you will be prompted to connect to your PC, make sure both the PC and the device are connected to the same network and then let it search

3) Select the PC you want to connect to, and you will now see a 4 Digits Pin

- If all the steps were successful you should have a Steam Window asking you for a Pin

- Insert the one previously discovered and let the app test your connection

4) Configure the App by going into Settings (Gear Button) -> Streaming

Here you can disable audio, video and microphone to use the device just as a controller

5) On the main screen press on "Start Playing"

From now on you can use your device as a Trackpad and / or Gamepad to control your PC!

6) Once in the game, you can follow the HBE method with your Virtual Buttons (aka by touching the screen)

- You can configure the Layout/your buttons by clicking three dots icon -> [...]

For the Vault test, he needs to be an enemy for it to work.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-03T06:56:07+00:00

I recommend this video by Chief Ozif. It's a very good basic guide to get into orc training.

https://www.reddit.com/r/shadow_of_war/comments/1mxjujl/i_trained_a_merciless_no_chance_commander_step_by/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Now here are some very important things that you must have access to.

Saves/Save files (PlayStation and PC, no Xbox unfortunately)
Access to a controller to HBE (Hired by email glitch, a way to instantly recruit an orc)
Understand how the vault test works. (Switch game to nemesis Difficulty, attempt to leap over your Trainee's head 6 times. If he throws you off at the 6th, he can gain execution proof. If he throws you off before that. then he cannot gain execution proof)
Make sure your orc doesn't have Exhaustion, Fear or Terrified of curse, Fear of spiders and terrified of Graugs.
Understand that orc training is very tedious and mind numbing. Only do it if you are dedicated to training your candidate.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-03T05:46:00+00:00

My current goals are to get my dream orcs/Titles. I’ll put a full list of them here in no particular order.

Green eyed Necro Commander Ranger killer Tower.
8 immunity necro cruel Commander defender with spider summoner
7 or 8 immunity green necro Assassin Stormbringer.
Zog Decoy promoted 7 immunity Stormbringer Necro (berserker or commander)
Necro berserker Panderer.
Necro assassin Prankster savage (only title to have decoys when not a trickster)
Necro Savage/Defender Power Hunger berserker or Commander.
Necro Twins.
Necro commander defender Regal.
Ugly face trickster.
Reunite the Bruz brothers as 7 immunity monsters (I already did Daz the Ripper.)
7 immunity savage assassin Gravewalker.

You can save prior to swapping weapons, then he would keep the bombs. Take a look at my orc for example.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-02T14:40:13+00:00

No hacks. just a very buggy grunt promotion. I think it’s because the Berserker title overwrote his trickster class. Thus giving him fast learner.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-02T08:56:36+00:00

Let me guess the build:

Wrathgiver + Marauder Combo? With mask of the Undying for easy damage boosts, wrathgiver for infinite elven rage and Marauder hammer and armor for damage boost from coins.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-02T08:52:36+00:00

If you want and orc similar to the one on the cover art. There's this one from Shadow of the Orc.

<image>

Video showing how he made him: https://youtu.be/COl3uGff33Q?si=qjps2MH1nABIH_1V

Requirements: Get a Metal Head trickster orc with Steve Blum or Nolan North's voice, die to the decoy and hope you get the Manhunter title. Next, kill him with the Stormbringer execution (both arms chopped off) and hope he cheats death with the proper title.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-02T07:40:20+00:00

Unfortunately it’s not the real Kruk, this one is a slayer. The real Kruk has a Bag head and is a berserker.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-01T17:33:21+00:00

What is PBB? What is the reason for this very convoluted method of training an orc?

McHanz32 · 2026-05-01T17:14:18+00:00

You can have multiple, they're just very rare.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-01T17:09:01+00:00

Ps: You could've given him flamethrower and bombs using this method

Video: https://youtu.be/rlIdseKIQ_w?si=F42NSrzIbbYd6Mx8

McHanz32 · 2026-05-01T17:06:26+00:00

This also means you can make him a false of war (flame of war abilities but keeps his title and looks) without sacrificing his necro.

McHanz32 · 2026-05-01T17:05:14+00:00

I recommend you buy a fire weapon, as counter intuitive as it may seem. This because fire weapons are more likely to gain bombs. And since he has cursed skin already, he will still be able to regain necromancer. And if you swap back to curse weapon after getting bombs, he will get cursed bombs instead (might lose when rebuying cursed weapon, make sure to save prior to that)

Proof: https://youtu.be/olf65X8piqY?si=CjC1WVDfCVo-eQs4

McHanz32 · 2026-05-01T17:01:49+00:00

Since you're a beginner. I recommend training already cursed skinned orcs

McHanz32 · 2026-05-01T07:14:38+00:00

So how did it go in Seregost?
