Talion becomes a Nazgul The biggest bombshell from Shadow of War comes at the end when we learn Talion's ultimate fate: Talion becomes one of the Nazgul. After he's abandoned by Celebrimbor, Talion begins to die. His only option is to take Isildur's Ring, which he uses in the final fight against Sauron.
Resisting the corrupting effects of the Ring during decades to hold back Sauron's forces in Mordor and to give Gondor time to prepare for the War, Talion eventually became one of the nine Nazgûl.
Even after being possessed by Celebrimbor, Talion's kindness and humble attitude still remained, and he often verbally sparred with Celebrimbor about protecting humanity. Eventually, this came to a head when Talion opted to free Isildur, instead of enslaving him.
According to book lore Rangers of Ithilien (one of which Talion supposedly is) really ARE Dunedain of the South, in book we are told that Rangers of Ithilien who act as a special forces of Gondor were recruited from among descendants of men who lived in Ithilien (which was abandoned due to attacks from Mordor in year ...
No, Talion appears only as a game character, in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War. Don't assume that anything or anyone in the games is canon. Even characters that appear in LotR are presented differently in the games.
The Nazgul arrive for him there, and the Witch-King welcomes Talion calmly into their ranks. Talion falls and becomes a Ringwraith in full, and he joins the Nine in their hunt for the One Ring.
Orcs and Orc Captains refer to Talion, a ranger of the Black Gates as "the Tark".
After he was attacked by the orcs, they transported his lifeless body to Mordor at Sauron's behest. Sauron revived Isildur with one of the nine rings, and then tortured him until his spirit was broken and he became a Nazgûl.
Talion is a vital part of the Middle-earth games, but he's not a canon character in Lord of The Rings lore, despite his fascinating backstory. Monolith Productions and Warner Bros.
Halbrand, the Nazgûl
Halbrand, per the theory, offers the perspective of the Kings of Men. If this is true, then Rings of Power won't end well for Halbrand. Sauron manipulates the Nine Kings by giving them rings that they use to accumulate wealth, knowledge, and prestige.
Why is Talion called the Tark? Tark is an Orkish word that was often used by the Orcs of the later Third Age to describe a Man of Númenórean heritage (such as the Gondorians). Considering the enmity between the Orcs and the Men of Gondor, the word tark tended to be used in an insulting way.
Dirhael was Talion's only son. He resided with his mother, Ioreth, at the Black Gate and was subsequently murdered during the attack by the leader of Sauron's Black Captains, the Black Hand, at the beginning of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
The Nazgûl (Black Speech: Ringwraiths, sometimes written Ring-wraiths), also known as the Nine Riders or Black Riders (or simply the Nine), were Sauron's "most terrible servants" in Middle-earth. They were mortal Men who had been turned into wraiths by their Nine Rings of power.
In the 2017 sequel Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Celebrimbor abandons Talion so he can pursue his quest for vengeance alone. He's briefly able to hold his own against the Dark Lord by possessing the Elven assassin Eltariel.
Talion is going off to the afterlife, I'm not going to give you an in depth explanation of the different planes of existence in Tolkein's universe. Read the books. And Eltariel still has the new ring. Get the Blade of Galadrial expansion to see the true epilogue.
History. Talion is descended from the Northmen in Rhovanion but grew up in the city of Minas Tirith in Gondor. He was forced into exile after killing a nobleman who attacked his wife, Ioreth. Ioreth convinced her father to help them escape the city, swearing she would confess to the crime herself if he did not help.
Upon completion of stage 10 you'll be rewarded with a "many years later" cutscene, after which you're free to continue exploring the world and taking part in online conquests. That's essentially it as far as rewards go, but this is the "true ending" you may have heard people speaking of.
Originally posted by K3PTHIDD3N: And can you even reach weapon and armor level 80? I believe (because of death threats and/or olog sword breaking the max gear level is 85, but otherwise, yes, 80 is the max gear level as well.
In Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Helm is shown to have become a Nazgûl. He received his ring from Sauron and Celebrimbor after he was mortally wounded in an ambush by Wulf's men, during which his daughter was kidnapped.
Fellbeasts are monstrous, wyvern-like creatures that were bred by Sauron to be steeds for his lieutenants, the Nazgul. They were not truly dragons, but rather creatures from an older time long past in Middle-Earth. Sauron bred them as a challenge to the Great Eagles, their good-aligned counterparts.
This is because only the 9 Men who got Rings of Power ever became Nazgûl. There are no Elf-Nazgûl or Dwarf-Nazgûl. Of course, the Rings of the Elves were not directly made or affected by Sauron.
Celebrimbor expressed disdain, saying Talion should have forgotten about him and defeated Sauron *for both their sake. * But he wanted his friend back and he would have died to see him free (without the ring, and without a wraith, Talion would die due to the ritual at the Black Gate in the first game.)
Unlike in the books, Celebrimbor doesn't appear to be an innocent pawn in Sauron's plan to create evil and unleash it upon the world. In fact, it seems as though he is the mastermind at work here, and the driving force of evil and greed that makes the rings so corrupted in the fist place.
Urfael is the primary combat weapon in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. The sword has served Talion in his life as a Ranger of Gondor, as a Captain of the Watch upon the Black Gate. Now, even in death, the sword serves Talion still, in his quest for vengeance, reaping a fearsome tally on the Uruk-hai of Mordor.
The Nazgûl Sisters, known as Riya and Yukka are the main antagonists in Middle-earth: Shadow of War story expansion, The Blade of Galadriel. They were once daughters to Emperor Sagong of the Kingdom of Shen in the farthest east of Middle-earth. These powerful warriors were sent to Mordor for conquest by their father.
