HOW TO GET WRATHGIVER (Including Level 90)

Important! You need two Skills: Treasure Hunter, and Discerning Eye (Wraith Section)

(1) Send Death Threat to an Epic Quality Uruk that is NOT a Tank
- Pick a target without any Enrages that could trigger during the fight
- Avoid Arrow Proof Orcs, so you can easily knock them down with Shadow Strike

(2) Inside that Death Threat - Finish the Orc with GROUND EXECUTION as the FINAL ATTACK
- Don't mistake it with Execution (which requires Might) - it has to be GROUND EXECUTION! (combination of the buttons listed below, while the Orc is knocked down)
- Keyboard -> Shift + Left Mouse Button
- PlayStation Controller -> R2 + Square
- Xbox Controller -> RT + X

Important Notes

- Don't use any elemental attacks right before the kill (any damage over time present on the Orc while he is dying, may affects the possible loot pool)
- Don't pin the Orc right before the kill (it adds frost loot to the pool)
- Don't kill him during the enrage (it adds few enrage related items to the pool)
- If you had some Interactions (Nemesis Score) with that Orc and your finishing attack triggered his "Nemesis Execution Window" (aka QTE - Quick Time Event) - don't kill him! - simply let the animation end, and then repeat step nr (2)

(3) Make sure that the Orc dies close to you, then wait just half second for the item to get auto picked up, and instantly press Main Menu Button - so the Death Threat doesn't finish (Very Important!)

(4) Check the Loot
- Wrong item? - Quit to Main Menu - To reset everything that happened in this Death Threat - Then log back in and repeat step nr (2)
- Correct item? - Finish the Death Threat, and you will keep your new loot!

Wrathgiver is the only Sword in the game with Wrath Main Stat, but in order to get the "actual name" - you have to do the item challenge 1st

To get level 90 Wrathgiver/any other Epic Swords easily
- Send DT to an Uruk, and keep killing him/resetting the DT - Until you get a minimum level 82 drop
- Do the item challenge (+3 levels) to make it 85
- Keep dying to Olog grunts/captains until one of them breaks it (+5 levels) and you get a level 90 Sword!

Tribes also affect how your Wrathgiver (and other Epic Swords) will look like

Additionally here's another very nice WG Guide (in a form of Video) - https://www.reddit.com/r/shadow_of_war/comments/1qwyoku/getting_wrathgiver_sword_more_control_less_luck/

What even is "that thing"?!

NATS allows you to instantly kill any even 7-8 Immune Orcs, Hacked Orcs, including the infamous "RED SQUARES" (Baranor DLC Traits given with Cheat Engine)

Outside of Sieging this way, which can become very boring very fast (trust me... 0 challenge)

You can also use it for few different things, like: decapitating orcs in your own world, to prevent Uruks coming back from the dead in NO Cheat Death Save (keep in mind - decapitation from the front isn't a guaranteed perma kill, so do it from behind/sides) or even perform some very cool various kill animations (different angles in SoW mean different executions)

Disclaimer: You don't need any Mods or Cheating Programs to do that, it's purely an in-game thing.

Once you complete The Bright Lord Mission - both ATS and NATS is gone! (No Spoilers)

How to perform NATS

- Exactly the same way as ATS, excluding the part where you dump your Might (because you do not have Might Bar at all)

How to perform ATS

If you have 1 Might Bar or higher, you have to dump it first to "below 1 Bar"
- Use Mighty Shot to do that - left CTRL (PC) or R1 button (Controller)

Once your Might is lower than 1 Bar
- Position yourself towards the Captain
- Hold Left Mouse button (PC) or Hold Square button (Controller)

Now let's go back to NATS

- In order for the Glitch to work - you cannot buy any Skills that would unlock your Might Bar! (which means: Execution / Elven Light / Mighty Shot)

- Your Main Goal is to get Full Wrath Bar as fast as possible
- Which relies on Eagles Eyrie into Talon Strike (10 wrath per hit cause of WG)

Two Mandatory Items: WRATHGIVER and KINGMAKER

- Rest of the items - ANY of your choice

Only the 2ndary Stats are important

- Sword (Wrathgiver) - 15% damage when your health is full
- Armor - 30 Wrath per Captain Kill
- Ranged (Kingmaker Bow, ideally 15 Arrows) - 15 Focus per ranged hit
- Cloak - 90% shorter Curse duration
- Ring - 33% longer Elven Rage

(Below i will show you My Build, that i have been theorycrafting while learning and practicing the Glitch, but such minmaxing is not even required)

My choices for the "Optional" pieces of the Build

- Slaughter Armor, because it looks the best to me, and there is no really any good options for that slot anyway... Little health regain per kill also better than nothing.

- Feral 2set (Ring and Dagger) - to instantly mount Siege Beasts, and after that i can also Talon Strike to one of the roofs in the middle, to mount another Siege Beast at Inner Gates from very far away! (example and the reasoning for it - in the Video below)
