Two Humiliator Swords in 2 Days

[Machan]

Here's how I got 2 Humiliator Swords in two days.

This may be redundant information but I’m putting this out for those who are looking at getting this sword.

There are many Youtube videos on this subject but I didn’t find a single one with clear directions, so here goes. Hope this helps you.

 (See links to screenshots)

1. The key to finding this sword is in the Bonus effect (highlighted in yellow) Look for an Epic sword that gives the Humiliator Bonus. While this one is a Numenorean sword, my first was a Gondorian. I don’t think there is a guarantee that a particular Ork will drop this. I got both swords while doing Vendetta missions (I do about 30 a day).

2. Complete the bonus by executing a Captain.
3. The upgrade changes the sword to the Humiliator
4. You can upgrade its further by letting an Olog kill you and he breaks your sword. Be patient, it took me 5 tries for an Olog to finally snap my sword in two. As soon as that happens, the Olog will get promoted to captain. Hunt him down and killing him will return your Humiliator to you upgraded.

IMHO Minas Ithil is the best place to find Ologs roaming the map alone. Make sure no other Uruk joins the fight. If they do, finish them off with your bow.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I’ve missed anything. If I’ve got any information wrong I sincerely apologize.

Not much of a "key" in finding said sword by just looking at the highlighted special effect that's unlocked via challenge. The looks on the weapon also don't matter, as they are actually based on which Tribe the captain was from that dictates the item's appearance. There's a whole reddit post about that.

While there's no concrete knowledge on how to properly obtain every unique Epic gear consistently, there are some claims of how you can even the odds about specific drops, namely one of the most sought epic swords (and most broken), the Wrathgiver. Plenty of sources mention that to obtain this particular sword more reliably you have to fight an orc that's either Warriors or Savages types, are Slayer/Trickster/Tracker class and have no elemental weapon, then proceed to kill said orc without using elemental damage, using at least 3 Executions on them and the kill blow needs to be an Execution itself. Extra points if you do so in Elven Rage/Ringwraith.

Still need to get a proper shot myself at that, I just haven't been able to pull it off because I can't seem to get an Elementless Warmonger Tribe Warrior/Savage type orc to spawn to test it, since I want the sword to be Gondorian.

My Wrathgiver dropped from a slayer I'd executed once, then finished off with an elven light - fury ground pound. Never even popped wrath mode.

Might be helpful, especially considering that fury can't be entirely adapted to and if you deal enough damage to them via the punches, then the animation will complete even if they've technically adapted to the dagger. This counts as a proper "ground execution" even after adaptation, when a non-fury ground execution would no longer be usable. I guess ground executions also count towards Wrathgiver, I dunno... That or it was just a stupidly lucky RNG result

Also yes, it's entirely broken and takes all the fun out of fighting... But it's nice to have it in your back pocket for when you're going up against cheater orcs!

Wrathgiver: 'Gain 10 wrath on an execution' is nothing special IMO. I can fill up my might using my dagger on one brutalized kill. I think it's the build combo that makes it special.

This video is a good example on the build. But notice he doesn't even use his sword.
His wrath prestige is 100% - that alone is a game-changer.
He's got 2 warmonger weapons that increase damage by 2% per pick up
For the finisher he picks up enough coin to boost his attack by +105%
Game over.

No, dude, getting double wrath from kills doesn't mean as much as you think. The reason the Wrathgiver is by far the best sword in the game is the fact that it is *bugged*.

When using a Wrathgiver, you only get the +10 wrath on an execution that *kills* an opponent... Executions that are survived don't provide the wrath bonus.

However, when you use the unupgraded Elven Light with that sword equipped, every enemy hit by the blast, whether they die or not will give +10 wrath.

This, combined with the passive rapid might generation of wrath mode, allows you to stay in that mode indefinitely so long as there are at least 3-4 enemies nearby. Because you can just keep spamming Elven Light, and regenerating wrath while you're in the act of burning it.

Every enemy hit by a Talon Strike also gives the +10 wrath, by the by. Again, this is whether they die to it or not, any enemy simply *touched* by Elven Light or Talon Strike will give you bonus wrath. If you have two bars of might, you can get off enough Elven Light to instantly fill up your entire wrath bar in a random group of enemies. If you *don't* have two bars of might, you can do the same thing for two elf-shot.

Wrathgiver ensures that you effectively never run low on wrath, ever. Even just fighting a single captain with no other enemies around, given a "Elven Wrath lasts 33% longer" secondary effect on your rune, can let you stretch wrath mode for a ridiculously long time.

Some of the comments about how to try your luck with getting a Wrathgiver do include Ground Executions, some even promoting that the kill has to happen with said execution form. While all speculation, considering there are plenty of different people who tried said methods and vouche for it means that the killing method of a captain may actually determine the chances of certain items.

Goblin already said it, but yeah. Wrathgiver's special effect appears to be nothing on paper but because it apparently also works for Elven Light (unupgraded) and Talon Strike without the need for those 2 skills to actually kill, unlike the Execution requirement, combined with a Rune that grants 33% extra time of Elven Rage/Ringwraith you'd be unable to get out of it unless you did it on purpose. Of course, the main purpose of this alongside 2-set Marauder bonus to get more damage is pretty much key to counter those cheated captains in online sieges.

I get what you're saying bro, and I completely agree. When it comes to siege defense or attack this sword (with the right armor combo) totally overpowered. But in normal battle or vendetta I don't see it performing that well (prove me wrong .) I'm not trying to be negative - it's a definite MUST have.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I learnt much from it.
