death defying

[Kookaburra]

How often do you guys get this because every time i down an orc they always get back up, i thought this was something that only certain orcs could do but every time i see that animation of an orc getting on his knees i get frustrated because i know they will just get back up with full health making all that damage i did pointless, at first i thought it was because of the difficulty but even on easy they always get back up, now every time i am about to kill an orc i try to kill them with arrows, stealth ,beasts, elemental attacks, throwing them off a cliff, or with a follower.

You should be learning their weaknesses and taking advantage of such when fighting Orc Captains. Usually exploiting a weakness will allow you to kill the captain directly without them getting a second chance. Otherwise, you'll have to slog through more combat.

After all, Talion gets to defy death most of the time, so it's not unfair for some of the toughest Orcs to also get a second chance.

Most orc's far's I know that get back up the most are Olog's and Defenders, this is why I skill them to death with tailon strike and nonelement wraith stun, try it.

I always check their weaknesses, i'm mainly talking about orcs that don't have exploitable weaknesses, especially when dealing with defenders, savages, tricksters, and assassins.

All weaknesses are exploitable. Some are just easier than others to set up....

Check their class. Only Tanks have death defying.
