If you've returned to Tolkein's world with Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, you know there are lots of secrets to uncover. One of the most intriguing collections to unearth are the Ithildin. These are ancient symbols carved into ruins all over Mordor.
The only way to uncover these is by moving toward the icon on the map and using Talion's Wraith to read the symbol. There are 32 to find across the game's regions, but we won't spoil your reward for finding them all. Of course, there are some nice Achievements/Trophies to earn too. Let's get started!
