Saviors

[Halfpaststate]

Is it down to random chance when you are about to be killed by a captain and you get saved? Hasn't happened to me yet :/

...Maybe because I haven't died many times.
Also enemy captains haven't come back from the dead a lot which makes me sad.

[Hydrataur]

Yes, they're random. I've been saved 3 times. Once by a random Gondorian captain and twice by Forthog

[Skywarp]

I got saved today by a Forthog Orc-Slayer. Also I can confirm some captains come back from the dead. (cheat death)

Having friendly orcs around you increases your chances of being saved. Otherwise it is a very low chance.

How do I get Forthog Orc-Slayer? he is a free DLC Item, where did you guys unlock him.

He is in there by default. And it is even more rare for him to show up.

He comes automatically with the base game

I have yet to experience any savior events after I have been downed. And I am nearly done with the Shadow Wars stages, and I have been downed many times and killed by many different Orcs/Uruks. Both Captains and just regular ones. Most of which I personally went out and killed for revenge. However, I still have not experienced the savior mechanic at all. Even when I have a bodyguard asigned to me.
Heck, I've tried summoning my bodyguard before and an enemy captain shows up instead a few times. I do like the randomness of the nemesis system, but at times it does get anoying.
However, I do think I need to say that I don't get downed that often anymore due to my experience of fighting so many captains at once, especially during the siege defence.

I have only been saved once by a Gondorian sergeant, and once by one of my orcs in a defence siege.

okay i know this thread is a pretty old, but my game is somehow bugged. I've been saved like 10 times throughout 35 hours gametime. And I'm now encountering the situation that i got saved for once and then died again while fleeing the battle, and got saved again! I'm trying to die again and see if it happens a third time

edit: okay this cant be. I got saved again. for the record, i play on nemesis difficulty

You can turn off saviors in options if you don't want to be saved

Just got saved during a warlord battle by one of my spies. Saved me replaying the whole siege, so this was a real savior.

[CyberWolfGaming]

I haven't triggered it either I have a bodyguard he can help in a tight spot like if I have multiple captains my BG in Seragoth is an archer that's arrows explode his name is Maku the Flame of War sort of got him by burning him alive he cheated death many times. I also got my first deranged he is such a pain he isn't hard to kill but he refuses to stay dead and apparently Talion straight up avoids removing the Uruks head and I can't even remember his name he is so unimportant.

It's random, but I swear to god eventually you'll find that one orc that will almost ALWAYS be there to save your ass when you least expect it every time. I had the same orc save me 3 times in a row and I made him an overlord for his heroic deeds lmao. He saved me once time when I got gang banged by like 5+ captains, another when a "no chance" traited orc sniped me from a mile away because they also had the "sniper" perk and I have NO clue he was zeroed in on me, then the last time when I pressed spacebar too fast during an "unblockable attack" and still got hit. After the third time I was like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SIR YOU JUST MADE YOURSELF AN OVERLORD!
