Recruit two bodyguards of one warchief for “The Operative” and play the resulting Betrayal mission. There are only 4 fortresses and after you’ve conquered them they can only be taken back by enemies during Act 4: Shadow Wars. These are related to warchiefs and conquering fortresses. There are three missable trophies you really need to look out for: The Operative + It Came From Within + Vandal. Step 1: Beat Act 3 of the Story + Get All Gondorian Artifacts as soon as possible for better Gem Drops + The Operative + It Came From Within + Vandal It’s advisable to focus on the story first to increase your level quickly and unlock all the trophy-related skills. Even the online ranks (you must reach the rank of captain) are entirely based on your offline army.
Act 4 is called “Shadow Wars” and you’ll be defending your fortresses from enemy armies over the course of 10 stages.
You can do everything on easy difficulty. Welcome to the Middle-earth: Shadow of War Trophy Guide! It’s a very pleasant platinum with a mix of combat trophies (some of which have you dig deeper into the nemesis system), story trophies, collectibles (all marked on the map) and completion based tasks.
