![]() Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli arrive, but they are too late. Boromir reappears and fights them killing several by to no avail as he was pierced by many arrows, and the hobbits are taken. The Orcs band appears and try to seize the Halflings. He grabs Boromir and orders him to protect Merry and Pippin. Aragorn tries to maintain control and asks Legolas and Gimli to stop them. Sam becomes concerned and runs away to search for Frodo. Boromir returns to Aragorn and the others and is asked where he has been he confesses what he had done to Frodo. He then comes to his senses and begs Frodo to come back but to no avail as Frodo has already gone. Boromir curses him and accuses him of being a traitor. Frodo refuses and Boromir tries to seize him and take the Ring by force. Boromir becomes irritated with the decision to destroy the Ring and Frodo tries to tell him that all that touches the Ring turns to evil, but Boromir doesn't listen and asks Frodo to lend him the Ring. Boromir offers his advice to Frodo and Frodo already knows of what he wants him to do and that was to take the Ring to Gondor to defend Minas Tirith. In Ralph Bakshi's version, Boromir confronts Frodo in his thinking place and Frodo talks of his fears. ![]() After sending Boromir in a funeral boat over the Falls of Rauros, Aragorn eventually decides that the fate of the Ring-bearer is no longer in his hands, and refusing to abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death, decides to go after them. The Three Hunters (Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli) then have to decide whether to follow Frodo and Sam or to go after the Uruk-hai to rescue Merry and Pippin. Returning to the boats and finding one gone, along with Frodo and Sam's packs, Aragorn concludes that Frodo and Sam have gone on alone to Mordor. He also tells him that the Orcs (later known to be Uruk-hai) have taken the Hobbits. With Boromir's last words he tells Aragorn not to let Minas Tirith fall. Aragorn arrives to find Boromir lying by a tree surrounded by dead Orcs, and pierced with many arrows. The Two Towers opens with the rest of the Fellowship searching for Frodo, until they hear Boromir's horn, signaling that he was in need, along with Orc voices. The Fellowship of the Ring ends with Frodo and Sam beginning their journey together towards Mordor. Although originally annoyed, Frodo realizes that Sam will be useful for the journey ahead, and that he needs a good friend to help him along. When Frodo tells him to go back, Sam wades out into the water towards the boat even though he cannot swim, and begins to drown, prompting Frodo to rescue him. As he is about to leave in the boat, Sam comes running out and insists on going with Frodo. He decides to continue the Quest on his own and from there journey to Mordor alone, so that his friends will not have to suffer on his behalf. After a minute he realizes what he has done and weeps, begging Frodo to come back, but Frodo is already far away.įrodo then realizes the effect that the Ring is having on his companions, and that slowly it will destroy them all. ![]() When Frodo refuses, he becomes angry and tries to take it by force, causing Frodo to put on the Ring, disappear and run away. Boromir's words become more and more aggressive, saying that the Ring should not be destroyed, but used against Sauron, and he asks Frodo to lend him the Ring. He is soon joined by Boromir, who talks to him, giving him advice, although Frodo has already been warned by Galadriel that his friends will turn against him. While they are resting, Frodo walks off alone to sit beside the river and the Falls of Rauros. However, Aragorn is reluctant to lead the ring anywhere near Minas Tirith, as he does not trust Denethor and his men. Also, not understanding the power of the Ring, he thinks that Gondor would be able to use it and so have the power to overthrow Sauron. Opinion is divided on this as Boromir wants to pass through Gondor, the land of his people, which he thinks will be the safer option. They stop at Amon Hen where they have to decide which way to go next (straight towards Mordor on the eastern side of the river, or to Minas Tirith on the western side to gain Gondor's aid). Ten days after leaving Lothlórien, the Fellowship are rowing down the Anduin in the boats given to them by Galadriel. ![]()
