With the second season finale of Rings of Power on the horizon, Amazon has unveiled a tantalizing promo filled with spoilers that gives fans a glimpse of what to anticipate in Episode 8.
In the promotional video, Galadriel is depicted on a quest to vanquish Sauron, who has now revealed himself as The Lord of Gifts. Viewers will witness Sauron's crown making an appearance during a sword duel, a scene that intriguingly suggests it will eventually find its place on Sauron’s head and not through any dark heart.
Among the other notable highlights, we observe Arondir's unexpected recovery following what appeared to be his demise at the hands of Adar in Episode 7. The Balrog emerges from the deep caverns of the Dwarven city of Khazad-dûm, creating a sense of foreboding. Meanwhile, a shadowy Dark Wizard is shown threatening Nori and Poppy with his staff, just as the Stranger is about to come to their aid. Additionally, Sauron is seen wielding a weapon resembling a spear or pole, sparking fan theories about its potential use to showcase Celebrimbor's fate in a display of might. Significantly, Elendil gazes in awe at Narsil.
Narsil, the renowned longsword used by King Elendil throughout the struggle of the Last Alliance, is famously associated with his son Isildur, who employed it to sever the One Ring from Sauron’s grasp. This marks a pivotal moment within the backstory of The Lord of the Rings, notably recognized from the opening battle scene in Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring. There is growing anticipation that Rings of Power will ultimately culminate in this iconic moment, creating a smoothly integrated into The Lord of the Rings saga.
The concluding episode of Season 2 of The Rings of Power is scheduled to be available for streaming this Thursday, September 3, on Prime Video. While awaiting this exciting release, viewers can explore an in-depth analysis of The Battle of Eregion.
