To obtain these epic runes from captains, Talion must first dominate a bodyguard, who must then be forced to deliver a death threat to their captain. For instance, if the player kills an enemy captain using a stealth takedown, the player will receive a stealth related rune.Įpic runes are extremely powerful runes that can only be obtained from Uruk warchiefs or captains who have been threatened. Every Nemesis has certain weaknesses, such as a vulnerability to attacks from mounts or stealth takedowns, that can be exploited to obtain specific runes. Whenever Talion slays an enemy Uruk Nemesis, it may drop a rune which Talion can use to upgrade his weapons.
