"Spirit of Fire" quest
In the "Spirit of Fire" quest I've killed dozens and dozens of Uruk with Fire Arrows. The quest isn't registering the kills. Why is that ?

I've tried everything I found suggested elsewhere. Nothing works. I get credit for the side objective. Then I shoot dozens with Fire Arrows and get no credit.

Five fire arrow kills are all you're supposed to need to complete the quest. I've even done more than five fire arrow kills sequentially. It makes no difference. I don't understand how the game could possibly think I'm doing it wrong.

Okay...

I have completed 99% of Shadow of Mordor.

This one quest still eludes me, because (no matter how many I make)
the game/quest never credits me for Fire Arrow kills I've made.

I can't help wondering why no one is stepping up to help...

I've watched video walk through's. I've read written walk through's. Nothing is working. Whatever you want to call them... I have every "skill", "perk" or "ability" the game offers. I have both creatively and simply tried to complete this quest. Nothing I have tried works. The game simply refuses to give me credit for successful fire arrow kills.

I know how to activate "Fire Arrows". I tried the quest again. Shooting dozens of Uruk with Fire Arrows, the game still refuses to give credit where credit is due.

Tried again. I blow them up and blow them up with Fire Arrows. They die and the game still gives no credit for the kills.

Tried again. I get credit for the bonus objective. I still don't get credit for legitimate Fire Arrow kills of Uruk.

I guess the fact no one is responding with a workable solution means no one knows what's wrong with this quest.

When you build your hit streak up you have to use the correct button to actually use a fire arrow not just a normal arrow with the hit streak effect that looks like fire. If there are specific uruks highlighted yellow then it has to be against them.

So...what do you understand the "correct" button to be for the PC version ?

Okay...

After weeks and weeks of effort...

After countless hours spent trying to complete this quest...

After a great many well meaning yet vague suggestions...

I finally figured this out.

Now, I can explicitly tell you all what simply needs to be done
to accomplish the main objective of the Spirit of Fire quest.

1) charge your hit streak.

2) press only the right mouse button while aiming at an Uruk.

3) While still pressing only the right mouse button / aiming, press the number " 6 "
on your keyboard to shoot the required "Fire Arrow".

4) Repeat steps 1-3 to get your five "Fire Arrow" kills and complete the quest.

This was not obvious, as I was accustomed to options of this sort normally appearing in the lower right corner of the screen. Accordingly, in the heat of battle, I never noticed the phrase "Fire Arrow" appearing next to the number 6 in the lower right corner of the screen once my hit streak was charged.

P.S.

The above instructions are specific to the PC version of the game.

Necro'd but just playing this now.

This worked with the default LCTRL for me (PC). But it was confusing at first as I assumed you had to press LCTRL to switch to the arrow, then charge your shot as normal to shoot the fire arrow. This isn't the case, while you're aiming, LCTRL actually immediately shoots a fire arrow. So the procedure for me was:

1. charge your hit streak
2. hold right mouse button to start aiming
3. move mouse to aim at target
4. press LCTRL
