Dol Guldur Orc Chieftains are a hiring NPC that reside in Dol Guldur towers in Dol Guldur. They carry an Orc skull staff in one hand and a silver coin in the other. They wear Dol Guldur armour, but without the helm. Additionally, they are taller than their subordinates and don't have debuffs under sunlight if they are spawned or wander outside of Dol Guldur: so they're technically Uruk-hai (which is not surprising given that Uruk-hai often occupy the high-ranks in orc societies). They also have 25 health, as opposed to the 20 health of normal Dol Guldur Orcs.
The player must have at least +150 alignment to Dol Guldur in order to hire units. Successfully hiring a unit from the chieftain will earn the player the achievement "Foul Creatures".
Behaviour[]
Like other traders and hiring NPCs, this chieftain will ignore other entities, regardless of alignment until provoked. Then it will defend itself with its Orc Skull Staff.
Hiring[]
The following list includes the units available to hire from a Dol Guldur Orc chieftain, as well as their cost in silver coins and Dol Guldur alignment requirement. Note that as alignment goes up, the number of coins needed goes down.
