In The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, players will delve into the events that lead up to Gandalf's interrogation of Gollum just prior to The Lord of the Rings. The game delves into Gollum's time spent enduring torture at the hands of the Dark Lord in Mordor.
Throughout The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, players will be presented with opportunities to determine which of Gollum's two personalities will hold sway in key decision-making moments. This choice between the cunning Gollum and the innocent Smeagol will have far-reaching consequences, altering the narrative in numerous ways. This guide will delve into one such decision, which occurs towards the end of the game's second chapter.
This decision occurs in the latter part of the game's second chapter, following Gollum's involvement in an explosion orchestrated by the Frail Man and his crew. As expected, Gollum is subsequently interrogated about his accomplices, and players are presented with the option of betraying the Frail Man or sacrificing another hostile inmate instead.
Ultimately, this choice will determine which of Gollum's Cellmates remains alive to interact with during the next chapter and has no real effect on the gameplay.
Blame the Frail Man (Gollum)
Repeatedly reminding Smeagol that they'll be tortured if they get caught lying to the servants of the Dark Lord, Gollum convinces him that selling out the Frail Man is the best way to ensure their safety.
Doing so results in the Frail Man being forcefully taken up to the tower, but he goes out with a sense of dignity, ultimately motivating the other prisoners during his final moments. This unexpected turn of events frustrates the Orcs, particularly the merciless Smeagol.
.
To successfully shift blame onto the Cruel Orc, Smeagol employs a clever tactic to persuade Gollum that the Frail Man still holds value to their survival. By highlighting the Cruel Orc's thievery of their precious bread and emphasizing the potential benefits of the Frail Man's connections in acquiring food, Gollum is easily convinced to target the Orc instead.
