Thank u for your work. Shadow of War is one of my favorite games! 9000 people are still playing Shadow of War on Steam, so it still has alot of life

@@Cornholio4 Thanks! I really appreciate that!!

Thanks for the amazing game. I played until I got all the achievments. If you still know anyone on the sound design team, they did an amazing job as well.

Awesome game mate, shadow of war is a masterpiece

That’s so cool!

yea, why would he be that dumb to get the ring that close to Sauron

@@saiyanbob666 It more or less he did not know the ring would chose sauron over him, after all the ring is that of a corrupted force try to corrupt the user

🤣.......

@@gsamalot Well this ring basically contains Sauron's essence, so it can only serve him. He didn't even create it to get a power boost, he put his own power into the ring so he could controll the middle-earth via ring-bearers on the high position. After this plan failed, the ring was only his weakness. A physical object that contained most of his strength. It could ber removed or destroyed. So making the ring was a mistake from Sauron. But anyone who tried to use the ring against him was f*cked. And in lore Celebrimbor never got the one ring, never fought any war with Sauron, never escaped him. And he didn't create the ring, Sauron did. Celebrimbor only created elven rings.

It actually does amplify his power. And it comes at no cost. It's pretty broken. Sauron forged his ring, and put a good part of it into himself, however unlike morgoth he didn't put his power into something that would change or go away... So while he gets all the benefits of the one ring it comes with no drawbacks. It's compared to a man with the gift of sight getting a telescope to see even further. Aka imagine it as demigod mode for him. Sure he is not invincible if he wears it but he has so much of his own power on a feedback loop that he'd be unstoppable for the forces / strong members of middle earth to beat. The only reason sauron ever lost while in control of the one ring was his own arrogance which would never be something hed fall for again or a force unlike no other which wasn't at all possible after the second age

He betrayed Talion. Celebrimbo is a kunt.

Definitely sounds interesting, Celebrimbor sounds a lot darker in this game than in canon.

I don’t remember in the game do they mention that they still did the same thing with his body after death? Sticking it on a pike full of arrows as a banner in war.

The only mistake he did is the betrayal with his host.

@@KenobiStark1 while it's never been stated, it's def a possibility it still happened in this game universe, though with the addition of Celebrimbor's head smashed in when they displayed his body like a banner

TAKE HIM TO DETROIT

Only in the shadow of mordor game. As tolkien wrote him, he created the rings of power out of pride of redeeming the deed of his granfather feanor, but was ultimately deceived by sauron. He fought bravely defending eregion but his forces were overrun. And in lore he was unmarried.

@@bambostarla6259 I heard they canonized the games’ story

@@Chemtrooper46 Ehm its impossible, they dont have the rights to do so

@@bambostarla6259 they should. It’s better

@@Chemtrooper46 I personally dont like it. But its still a great game

What Amazon Trailer, you mean that pathetic crap fest doesn’t exist 🤣

👍😎

Yes u are right

I’d rather watch a compilation of Jar Jar’s most annoying moments, clockwork orange style…..than watch a single minute of Abominationzon’s LOTR abomination.

@@polarfroge maybe what you really need is to spend less time on social media

Most of his power was tied to the ring. It took centuries for him to gain any semblance of power after losing it

​@@oldmate86 did he put all that power there?

The weapon in the end is so good. it has the best chance to go through armours. always wondered why that weapon isnt used in films and games. it is basically a war-hammer, but you use the sharp side.

@@scottwarren4998 its very heavy. robert baratheon used that weapon but even ned stark cdnt hold it properly

@@jmgonzales7701 The ring was tied to his soul. That said the ring at the vary least makes up for half his power.

Heh :) "There Sauron took the Nine Rings and other lesser works of the Mírdain; but the Seven and the Three he could not find. Then Celebrimbor was put to torment, and Sauron learned from him where the Seven were bestowed. This Celebrimbor revealed, because neither the Seven nor the Nine did he value as he valued the Three; the Seven and the Nine were made with Sauron's aid, whereas the Three were made by Celebrimbor alone, with a different power and purpose. [It is not actually said here that Sauron at this time took possession of the Seven Rings, though the implication seems clear that he did so. In Appendix A (III) to The Lord of the Rings it is said that there was a belief among the Dwarves of Durin's Folk that the Ring of Durin III, King of Khazad-dûm, was given to him by the Elven-smiths themselves, and nothing is said in the present text about the way in which the Seven Rings came into possession of the Dwarves.] Concerning the Three Rings Sauron could learn nothing from Celebrimbor; and he had him put to death. But he guessed the truth, that the Three had been committed to Elvish guardians: and that must mean to Galadriel and Gil-galad. In black anger he turned back to battle; and bearing as a banner Celebrimbor's body hung upon a pole, shot through with Orc-arrows, he turned upon the forces of Elrond."

bro, that was a solid joke

Daaaamn

I’ve never been able to think of “Nenya” and not think this haha.

That was what he said to him before he started bashing his face in with his hammer

Is this from Shadow of War? Or shadow of Mordor?

@@sbentsen2714 shadow of mordor, the first game, it's the lord of light dlc i think. It's a nice game, pick it uo if there is a good promotion

Exactly , that is why the movies did a bad job portraying Sauron's true power

i mean, king fingolfin of the elves fought morgoth himself, basically the eldest and strongest of the valar(gods) and grievously wounded him

And yet the king of the elves and the king of men beat him. At the cost of their lives ofc.

@@bloodangel19 at his second weakest state, yes he still had the ring during the battle but he was severely weakened after the flood, so it took two of the strongest motherfuckers during that time to put him down and even then both of them died.

@@cephalonbob15 True, but Morgoth was heavily weakened by that point. A great portion of his power had gone into his creations. And still he never was really at risk of dying against Fingolfin (who still fought very well though).

now sauron will be some pansexual lama furry in love with transdwarfs

@@gamurarandrei2657 don't remind me

@@gamurarandrei2657 wait what??

@@gamurarandrei2657 what the hell are you talking about?

@@gamurarandrei2657 you're a joke. "ugh ugh woke herp derp" calm down clown. Tolkien himself said that most hobbits had darker skin. Read the books you clown.

What Amazon series ? PS : And you better not dare says it out loud or I will hunt you after my death forever ! :P There is NO Amazon series. Amazon is a forgotten rain forest, and the company should be just as forgotten ;)

The Ring is literarly Sauron. Of course h can find so close to him, xD.

You can not hide it, but you can destroy it. Even he can sense it from far far away, because his soul in it.

Couldn’t Celebrimbor have destroyed it at Mount Doom? Logical

@@benjaminevans9137 Not unless if he wasn't too consumed by the One Ring. Also, that would prevent one of the best stories turned to movies ever

@@BrianMarrino236 good point

especially when they let celebrimbor have the ring, or made Saurin an elf. you can just smell the deep understanding of Tolkiens works right there

@@beecee2205 sarcasm?

I saw someone write before that they didn't make the story canon because they didn't have specific rights to portray the story exactly as it should be so they had to take some creative liberties to not infringe upon copyright law. Idk how true that is though.

@@SuperDannyrulez well that goes without saying, the detailed account of events, is in the Unfinished Tales, works to which Monolith guys had no licensing rights, so obviously the story they came up with is not particularly lore compliant in places ;). Otherwise Celebrimbor would not be taken to Mordor nor did he ever touch the One Ring nor make any engravings, and neither did he steal it and waged his mini war against Sauron within Mordor hehe, we know from Lotr and it's appendices alone that Celebirmbor was killed during the war in Eregion, the UT give this version of events in more detail, and surprsingly at least one thing is accurate in the cutscene, the Celebrimbor vs Sauron in Eregion: "Sauron himself departed from Eregion about the year 1500, after the Mírdain had begun the making of the Rings of Power. Now Celebrimbor was not corrupted in heart or faith, but had accepted Sauron as what he posed to be; and when at length he discovered the existence of the One Ring he revolted against Sauron, and went to Lórinand to take counsel once more with Galadriel. They should have destroyed all the Rings of Power at this time, "but they failed to find the strength." Galadriel counselled him that the Three Rings of the Elves should be hidden, never used, and dispersed, far from Eregion where Sauron believed them to be. It was at that time that she received Nenya, the White Ring, from Celebrimbor, and by its power the realm of Lórinand was strengthened and made beautiful; but its power upon her was great also and unforseen, for it increased her latent desire for the Sea and for return into the West, so that her joy in Middle-earth was diminished. 9 Celebrimbor followed her counsel that the Ring of Air and the Ring of Fire should be sent out of Eregion; and he entrusted them to Gil-galad in Lindon. (It is said here that at this time Gil-galad gave Narya, the Red Ring, to Círdan Lord of the Havens, but later in the narrative there is a marginal note that he kept it himself until he set out for the War of the Last Alliance.) When Sauron learned of the repentance and revolt of Celebrimbor his disguise fell and his wrath was revealed; and gathering a great force he moved over Calenardhon (Rohan) to the invasion of Eriador in the year 1695. When news of this reached Gil-galad he sent out a force under Elrond Half-elven; but Elrond had far to go, and Sauron turned north and made at once for Eregion. The scouts and vanguard of Sauron's host were already approaching when Celeborn made a sortie and drove them back; but though he was able to join his force to that of Elrond they could not return to Eregion, for Sauron's host was far greater than theirs, great enough both to hold them off and closely to invest Eregion. At last the attackers broke into Eregion with ruin and devastation, and captured the chief object of Sauron's assault, the House of the Mírdain, where were their smithies and their treasures. Celebrimbor, desperate, himself withstood Sauron on the steps of the great door of the Mírdain; but he was grappled and taken captive, and the House was ransacked. There Sauron took the Nine Rings and other lesser works of the Mírdain; but the Seven and the Three he could not find. Then Celebrimbor was put to torment, and Sauron learned from him where the Seven were bestowed. This Celebrimbor revealed, because neither the Seven nor the Nine did he value as he valued the Three; the Seven and the Nine were made with Sauron's aid, whereas the Three were made by Celebrimbor alone, with a different power and purpose. [It is not actually said here that Sauron at this time took possession of the Seven Rings, though the implication seems clear that he did so. In Appendix A (III) to The Lord of the Rings it is said that there was a belief among the Dwarves of Durin's Folk that the Ring of Durin III, King of Khazad-dûm, was given to him by the Elven-smiths themselves, and nothing is said in the present text about the way in which the Seven Rings came into possession of the Dwarves.] Concerning the Three Rings Sauron could learn nothing from Celebrimbor; and he had him put to death. But he guessed the truth, that the Three had been committed to Elvish guardians: and that must mean to Galadriel and Gil-galad. In black anger he turned back to battle; and bearing as a banner Celebrimbor's body hung upon a pole, shot through with Orc-arrows, he turned upon the forces of Elrond. Elrond had gathered such a few of the Elves of Eregion as had escaped, but he had no force to withstand the onset. He would indeed have been overwhelmed had not Sauron host been attacked in the rear; for Durin sent out a force of Dwarves from Khazad-dûm, and with them came Elves of Lórinand led by Amroth. Elrond was able to extricate himself, but he was forced away northwards, and it was at that time [in the year 1697, according to the Tale of Years] that he established a refuge and stronghold at Imladris (Rivendell). Sauron withdrew the pursuit of Elrond and turned upon the Dwarves and the Elves of Lórinand, whom he drove back; but the Gates of Moria were shut, and he could not enter. Ever afterwards Moria had Sauron's hate, and all Orcs were commanded to harry Dwarves whenever they might." The Unfinished Tales, The History of Galadriel and Celeborn In general when it comes to lore, those games, Shadow of Mordor and it's sequel are not particularly faithful, some elements they use in interesting way, but others, often the games simply disregard the more subtle and complex aspects, nor they don't use the historical info properly there is also a lot of book lore and details which could have been used well for video games, but were not utilized (things like Silent Watchers, the lesser wraiths victims of Morgul-knife, Barrow-wights etc. a lot of that stuff would work amazingly well in a game). There would be also other ways to make the game story more...canon compliant, but they went a bit lazy with it.

@@beecee2205Sauron was not an elf in this game, he just took the disguise of one. Something one would expect from the great liar and trickster that is Sauron.

One of my complaints about this game is he takes fair form when you fight him. If gollum exists, he should look evil.

Sauron lost his fair form after the fall of Numenor.

@@jasonsinn9237 thanks, I forgot when exactly in the timeline.

@@shane3127 no worries 👍. And you're right, the lore in this game is all over the place.

Sauron is a shapeshifter Or was when he had the ring

Lol it's CGI scene from a game.

If they had made this instead of what they’re doing then probably would’ve been perceived better

Well, this and SoW kinda fucked up the lore but they're still amazing

@@aishikmukherjee8438 But it was never intended to be in the same universe/timeline right?

@@yonneye2427 Yeah.

​@@yonneye2427 if it was a different universe why is there a one ring, sauron, celebrimbor, elves etc etc etc. Just asking

Not as brutal as torturing him to death and using the corpse as a banner.

I believe it's supposed to be a smith's hammer, and not a weapon.

What the fuck are you on about, you keep saying that crap.

Every elf in the show is much less than an average elf

Its called The Lord Of The Rings

@@javierescamilla4457 wow dude, I didn't know this! Thank you a lot! Gonna watch it tomorrow. Can't wait to see Sauron on the big screen

@@Marios-io9qg you will see him the beginning but its mainly about the journey of a hobbit whos quest it is to destroy the one ring

Shadow of mordor

much better

Tolkien would probably get a massive headache and immediately go to bed if he saw 60 seconds of this.

he has no true form?!

No, it is not.

This is supposed to be an illustration that the ring of power is loyal to Sauron and will always turn the tide in his favor in the end....

The ring can alter its size to fit on the user's finger.

@@lucifermorningstar2462 hi Luci, how's the wife?

@@GreatRunner it's from the games middle earth shadow of war and shadow of mordor

These are prequel games to LOTR, Shadow of War and Shadow of Mordor It’s a reimagining of events that took place between the Hobbit and Fellowship, as if explaining what held Sauron from invading Middle Earth sooner In the Books, Sauron under the Elven form Annatar used the Elves under Ringsmith Lord Celebrimbor to learn Ringcraft and persuaded them to create the Rings of Power Sauron had Celebrimbor killed later The game is a bit different as it depicts Celebrimbor and Sauron as friends and collaborators who designed the Rings of Power together and gave 9 Rings to the ones that became the Nazgûl Celebrimbor in game seem to believe in Sauron’s vision for world peace, and when Sauron created the One Ring, he kidnapped Celebrimbor to help him complete it by forging the Black Speech Engraving, stating how the One Ring can control all others But Celebrimbor used chance to temporarily bind Ring to him and steal it from Sauron He then used Sauron’s stolen powers from Ring to dominate the wills of Orcs to forge his own army against Mordor But as you can see the Ring was using Celebrimbor all along to return to its true master Sauron then killed Celebrimbor’s family and Celebrimbor himself, killing him with the hammer he once used as a gift to Celebrimbor starting their friendship, which was also same Hammer used to forge the Rings of Power. Sauron used poetic license in his revenge The game really starts with Talion, a ranger of Gondor that patrols the border to Mordor. Only to find his family killed and himself killed in a ritual to bind Celebrimbor’s Spirit to him Instead of passing on peacefully and go where all Elves go in death, Celebrimbor became a wraith perhaps as result of being bound to the Ring and Sauron, or because his dark deeds in being involved with Sauron Either way the wraith became bound to Talion, Talion needed Celebrimbor to stay alive, and Celebrimbor needed Talion as s vessel Each having beef with Sauron and his minions the two worked together in revenge That’s what the two games are about basically

Campa cavallo

Sauron isn’t an elf he just uses that as a disguise

@@joshxamanda looks like a Elf to me

@@HelloKZfaq89 that is just shapeshifting basically. he is an angel like thing, and can shapeshift. that is one of his forms

He is Maiar, as they said, Maiars are lower class of angels. Valars or Ainurs (before creation of Arda or Earth) are much more powerfull ones. They are most powerfull and they live in Valinor (continent) far from Middle Earth on the West. Morgoth is the most powerfull Vilain, and he is also Ainur, who is chained on the Edge of Arda punished to suffer alone for his sins. And Sauron his most powerfull Leuntanat, is his sucsessor. Maiars can also change their phisical form and posess power.

@@HelloKZfaq89 What Sauron is, is somewhat complicated He used to serve the LOTR equivalent of God but was corrupted by Morgoth, this worlds equivalent of the devil. Sauren became the second in command of all evil forces. As for Saurons powers they include shape shifting, mind corruption, enchantment and more.

maybe he cant change his body anymore but he can project an appearance

Ok
