Introduction:

 

The Blade of Galadriel is the first story expansion to Middle-Earth: Shadow of War. You take the role Eltariel who has been tasked with eliminating the Nazgul threat within Middle-Earth, this is set during the shadow wars of the main game. In terms of trophies it is very straight forward, you don't have to partake in endless sieges or recruit orcs, almost everything is story related and you should have all trophies in 3 or 4 hours.

 

Eltariel plays slightly different from Talion; her skills are based upon using Lights to defeat your enemies. She starts off weaker than your endgame Talion will be but you will acquire XP quickly and can unlock some skills and gems to slot in to your gear that are quite overpowered.

 

 

Walkthrough:

 

Step 1 - Complete the story

 

In this step simply complete all main story quests, this will net you the majority of the trophies leaving only an hour or so of cleanup at the end depending on your approach.

 

By the end of this step you will have unlocked:

 

Flash Mob (B)

Banished Ambition (B)

Scorched Earth (B)

Holding the Line (S)

Problem Solved (B)

The Time has Come (S)

Unlikely Alliances (B)

 

Step 2 - Fallen Blades quests, Cleanup

 

If you have not done so already, now is the time to complete all Fallen Blades quests and use the Light Trap on 20 orcs.

Trophy Guide

Blind 100 Orcs.

 

There is a new ability for Eltariel that involves the use of Light abilities to Blind orcs; this is introduced to you straight away.

 

There are various skills and combo finishers that can blind enemies but the primary method is to hold :circle: and aim a cone of light at enemies after a few seconds they will be blinded. You will easily blind 100 orcs whilst naturally playing through the story, if you somehow don't you can just look around for more groups of orcs to blind.

Defeat the Rogue Nazgûl.

 

Story related and cannot be missed

 

This will unlock upon completing the quest 'The Battle for Mordor', where you have to defeat the Nazgul sisters.

Deny Sauron’s control of Seregost forever.

This will unlock upon completing the quest 'Poisoned Ground'.

Defend Cirith Ungol from a new threat.

 

Story related and cannot be missed

 

This will unlock upon completing the quest 'The Siege of Cirith Ungol'.

Settle the Fixer’s score with the overlord of Núrn.

This will unlock upon completing the quest 'Like a Thief'.

 

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/5599/ca0.jpg The Time has Come (S)

Witness the end of Eltariel’s path.

 

Story related and cannot be missed

 

This will unlock upon completing the quest 'The Fall of Talion', completing the main story of the expansion.

 

[spoiler=:snowwut:]As the quest name implies, you have to fight Talion. He isn't particularly hard to defeat, I recommend using regular strikes and executions when your Might builds up enough, you can roll away and heal if needed. Eventually nazgul will join the fight; ignore them and focus on Talion, once you have dealt around 2/3 of damage to his health the battle will end.

 

 

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/5599/3f7.jpg Elven Conquest (B)

Complete an Online Conquest with an Eltariel skin.

 

This needs to be completed in the main game as Talion. Go in to your Inventory and then press :r1: and you will be able to select an Eltariel skin. Once you have changed your skin, play any online conquest (ranked or friendly) and the trophy will pop once you completed it.

 

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/5599/04f.jpg I See the Light (B)

Use Light Trap against 20 Orcs.

 

Light Trap can be unlocked using a skill point under the 'Ranged' section. To plant a Light Trap, you need to press :r2:+:circle:, it causes a light explosion when an enemy orc is close to it. You can use this stealthily and easily enough in the middle of combat. Once used on 20 orcs in total the trophy will pop.

 

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/5599/c83.jpg Complete in Defeat (S)

Defeat the Lawless.

 

To unlock this trophy, you need to complete the quest 'Ratak the Lawless'. This is the final quest as part of the 'Fallen Blades' quest line.

 

In each of these quests you need to defeat a Legendary captain that will spawn directly in front of you. I don't recommend attempting these until you have reached the part in the story where you get a bodyguard, the reason for this is because some of the captains have a lot of annoying immunities, having a bodyguard helps immensely as they deal a lot of damage and act as a distraction.

 

Once you complete all of these quests, 'Ratak the Lawless' will be available. He is a higher level and tougher than the previous captains but the approach to defeating him is the same: use your bodyguard and check his weaknesses by pressing :r3: when he appears.

 

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/5599/a40.jpg Unlikely Alliances (B)

Recruit your first follower as Eltariel.

 

Story related and cannot be missed

 

This will unlock upon completing your first main quest when you arrive in Cirith Ungol, any of the available main quests will result in the recruitment of a follower.

Pardon me, sir (or madame).

 

I am sorry to be a bother, but I have one question that pertains to the "Elven Conquest" trophy. Would I need a PlayStation Plus subscription in order to get that trophy? I wish to know. Thanks.

 

You do not need ps plus for online vendettas or online conquests.
