What happens when you complete the Shadow Wars?

Published in Game Endings 1 min read

Upon completing the Shadow Wars in Middle-earth: Shadow of War, specifically after clearing Stage 10, you unlock the game's true ending.

The True Ending Unveiled

Once all ten stages of the Shadow Wars are successfully completed, the primary reward is a significant narrative conclusion:

  • You are shown a "many years later" cutscene, which serves as the definitive end to the main storyline. This cutscene provides a resolution to the game's overarching plot, offering the "true ending" that players often seek. While this cutscene is the main reward, it signifies the narrative's conclusion.

Post-Completion Activities

After experiencing the true ending, your journey in Mordor doesn't necessarily conclude. The game transitions into an open-ended state, allowing you to continue engaging with its world:

  • Continued Exploration: You remain free to explore the vast open world of Mordor, revisiting areas and engaging with any remaining side content.
  • Online Conquests: You can continue to participate in online conquests, challenging other players' fortresses and defending your own, extending the gameplay experience beyond the main story.

While the primary narrative concludes with the cutscene, these ongoing activities provide continued engagement for players who wish to extend their experience in the game world.
