I'm not SURE but I think curse on NPC's also prevents them from using special abilites (like bezerkers' quick strikes or Marksmans' Aimed Strike). I'd say it probably prevents enrages too, but there are Uruk how are Enraged by Curse so I'm not sure.

With the terrified status, dominating and then selecting fight to the death will remove the terrified state.

Thanks Cole. Didn't know it works like that. I just thought it's something like fire where it just drains their hp

Ohoho. Nice find Dr. Cole!

So since i haven't seen it on the guide i figured i should mention it. Curse Vs. Captains causes them to lose health and disables their immunities for its duration. An example would be if the captain is immune to executions but he becomes cursed, he can then be executed. Curse also causes grunts to flee.

Curse on player disables minimap, if I'm not mistaken.

Hm, then maybe they overwrite each other, but the when the old one last longer then the new one it will fall back to it?

I've definitely terrified enraged enemies.

Shadow dominate & shadow striking are also unavialable when poisoned

Same here! Very curious about 'curse'. :)
