![]() It also coincides with the final defeat of Sauron, when Gollum is dumped into the lava of Mount Doom. Gainax Ending: The ending cutscene occurs right upon conclusion with the battle with Agandaûr. ![]() Flunky Boss: Tharzog, orc chief of Mount Gram.Farin is the fighter, Andriel is the mage, and Eradan is the thief. Fighter, Mage, Thief: The three heroes utilize the trinity quite nicely.Evil Sounds Deep: Agandaûr, Urgost, Tharzog, Wulfrum.Also Agandaûr has elements of both The Mouth and The Witch King. Expy: The alternate Fellowship, with Eradan for Aragorn and Farin for Gimli, though there are notable differences.Fornost has also become this due to Agandaûr's meddling. Enemy Mine: The heroes are forced to do this with Urgost.Others include the sorceror Wulfrun and the orc chieftain Tharzog. The Dragon: Whilst Agandaûr is one of Sauron's dragons, he spends most of the game attempting to recruit his own, including literal dragon Urgost.Dragon Hoard: Arguably, Carn Dum itself becomes this after Agandaûr's defeat, when Urgost takes the fortress as his own.The weight of Agandaûr's threat comes from him being Sauron's lieutenant, while the weight of Urgost's threat comes from him literally being a dragon. Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: Both Agandaûr and Urgost lampshade this towards each other, with each referring to themselves.Death from Above: In most exterior levels, Beleram the Eagle can be summoned to inflict massive damage on a single enemy.Continuity Porn: Swimming in it, particularly if you utilise the conversation trees, which serve as an optional Info Dump.The Cavalry: The Eagles provide this on numerous occassions.Since this game is set in the film continuity and Farin's backstory states that he fought in the Battle of Five Armies, it's likely that he is one of the Dwarf soldiers in Dain's army in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, which could potentially make him a Canon Immigrant.Agandaûr might be a Canon Character All Along if he's to be equated with a messenger of Sauron mentioned by Dain, as he fulfils the exact same role for the Dwarves of Nordinbad.Canon Foreigner: Quite a few, the main fellowship and most of their newfound allies and enemies.The dialogue options prove to be utterly meaningless because no matter how much you antagonize him, the NPCs suddenly blurt out that you wouldn't be able to beat him anyway. But Thou Must!: There is absolutely no option to fight the dragon, Úrgost.A particularly Egregious moment occurs when Elrond describes the War of the Dwarves and Orcs to the heroes, particularly how Azog was killed by Dain Ironfoot during the war like in the books, which is something that was changed when the Hobbit films came out.Radagast is an interesting case, he appears drastically different here to The Hobbit trilogy as it was still in development at the time.For example, Arwen's struggle with choosing a mortal life is mentioned only briefly and Elrond doesn't seem to be in any hurry to sail westward. Broad Strokes: The game is set in the film continuity, although a few details are ignored (and as of the film adaptations of The Hobbit, obsolete). ![]()
