If You Fail This Lord Of The Rings Quiz, It's Time To Rewatch The Trilogy

The Lord of the Rings trilogy was a book series by J.R.R. Tolkien set in a fantasy land called Middle-Earth, where elves, dwarves and hobbits live in their own separate lands. It all starts with Bilbo celebrating his birthday, in which he passes along one of his most prized possessions to his nephew, Frodo. A gold ring that had a mysterious inscription in it. It was no ordinary piece of jewelry, but instead had the power to corrupt powerful men and wizards even. Frodo, being a young hobbit is unaware of the power it holds until his wizard friend lets him in on how there are very powerful people in Middle-Earth who would kill for the One Ring. This ultimately leads him, and a few other hobbits to begin their own journey – one of which would bring great loss and even more destruction. Powerful wizards create dark armies to try and get their hands on the ring. But its true owner – Sauron is still around and is plotting his revenge to have his property returned. Frodo makes the ultimate sacrifice to take on the burden of the ring, where he makes arrangements to take it back to the place it was originally forced so Middle-Earth can be free of its dangerous power once and for all.

It’s quite an agrarian land, and the hobbits live in small homes that are built into hills and have circular doors.

Question 2

Which of Bilbo’s birthdays are they celebrating in the first film?

At the beginning of the first film, all of the hobbits are gathered in the Shire to celebrate Bilbo Baggins’s birthday. Not just his birthday either, for it was also Frodo’s birthday as well. It was a grand celebration that took a lot of time to prepare, and Gandalf was present and offered his magical services to hold a fireworks show. The fireworks were the highlight of the party because of how intricate and beautiful they were. Together the guests ate and drank together through the night.

Question 3

What are the name of the four hobbits who band together to get the ring out of the Shire?

At the end of Bilbo’s party, he hands down some of his most precious belongings to his nephew, Frodo. Among these things is a magical ring that has been lost for nearly 3000 years. It isn’t just any magical ring – but the One Ring. With it comes dangerous and destruction, and can corrupt even the most decent of men. After their wizard friend discovers its true nature, he returns to the Shire and demands that Frodo leave with it, before someone hunts him down for it.

Question 4

Which wizard helps Frodo on his quest?

After it is revealed that Frodo has the One Ring in his possession, he is forced to leave the only place he has ever called home. Without fully realizing what is at stake, he and three other hobbits band together to begin a journey of a lifetime. Unfortunately it’s not all flowers and sunshine, and the four of them are constantly threatened. Luckily they have a wizard who is usually around to help. Although sometimes he does disappear, it’s likely for a good reason.

Question 5

What species is Arwen, the woman who saved Frodo from being killed by Ringwraiths?

After the four hobbits make their way to the first stop that Gandalf instructed them to go, they are puzzled at the fact that the wizard has not arrived.

In the midst of their journey, they are attacked once again but this time Frodo’s life is put on the line.

Question 6

Where must Frodo take the ring in order to destroy it completely?

The history of the One Ring is not divulged as Frodo is carrying it around with him to the locations Gandalf has instructed him to go. After Frodo is healed from his Ringwraith wound, he gathers with residents of Rivendell, along with a few other soldiers. Together Frodo learns just how dangerous the ring he holds is. It was created by the Dark Lord in order to obtain more power during the Second Age. The only way to destroy it is to return it to the place it was forged.

Question 7

What do the group of protectors of Frodo and the ring call themselves?

Despite learning just how treacherous, dangerous and time consuming the task of destroying the One Ring will be, Frodo nobly accepts the mission. Mostly because he feels like it is his duty to do so because the ring was passed down to him. But, to his surprise he is not the only one embarking on this journey. Of course Sam stepped up to accompany him wherever he goes. As well as Merry and Pippin. Aragorn also vowed to protect him alongside Legolas, Gimli and Boromir. Gandalf became the leader of their group, although he wouldn’t always physically be there.

Question 8

Who is the The White Wizard in the first film?

The White Wizard was previously the chief of wizards during the Third Age. He very much embodied the destruction of Sauron, but after learning of all of the power that the One Ring possessed and could give a person, he began to desire it for himself. He betrays Gandalf by pretending to still want to rid of the magical ring. The White Council consisted of him, Gandalf and another wizard named Galadriel. Together they worked together to try and keep Sauron and his powers at bay.

Question 9

How does Gandalf escape Saruman’s prison?

After Gandalf meets with Saruman to discuss the matters of the ring, Saruman reveals his true intentions with the ring. He tells Gandalf that at that very moment there were Ringwraiths on their way to track down whoever has the ring in their position to kill them. Gandalf, fearing Frodo’s safety immediately tries to leave in order to warn but also protect the young hobbit. To his surprise, Saruman has turned sides and ultimately captures Gandalf to lower Frodo’s chances of survival.

Question 10

Which member of the Fellowship is killed during the first film?

The Fellowship endure many battles, fights and unexpected attacks throughout the entirety of Frodo’s journey. During their journey under Misty Mountain, they battle goblins and an ancient demon. Even after they manage to escape those threats, they continue to encounter orcs, and Uruk-Hai, an army of highly skilled orcs in order to take the ring for him. During an attack, Frodo is attempting to escape but meets one of the Fellowship, who quickly is corrupted by the ring’s dangerous power.

Question 11

What is Legolas’s weapon of choice?

Legolas is an elf who is a member of the Fellowship. He was the prince of his own realm in Mirkwood. He was essential to the Fellowship because of his keen sense of sight being he was an excellent elf hunter. He became very good friends with Gimli, who is a dwarf. The two of them constantly were bickering due to the long history of fights between their two species. He was a warrior with honor, which is evident in the way he gave his final respects to one of the fallen members of the Fellowship.

Question 12

What is Rivendell?

Rivendell is a highly populated town in Middle-Earth, located near the Great Sea. It was a place for a group of survivors in a war against Sauron during the Second Age. It was established by Elrond and he continued to rule into the Third Age. After Bilbo’s 111th birthday, this is the place in which he retired to in order to be surrounded by nature and its peace. It was here that the Fellowship was founded and decided on the fate of the ring.

Question 13

What is the name of the creature that was corrupted by the Ring?

This creature was not always the deranged being that it was during Frodo’s journey. In fact, he was a hobbit himself before he became obsessed with the ring. Unlike Frodo, who was able to still be himself (for the most part) and not fall into the temptation of the power the One Ring possessed. This creature however, was lost the moment he laid eyes on it. He even killed his cousin over it. He was driven into the Misty Mountain where he lived outlived his supposed life span, which evidently took a toll on his body and mind.

Question 14

What is the title of the second film in the trilogy?

The Lord of the Rings film adaptation is split into three movies, which all depict the Tolkien book series titled the same. By the second film, the Fellowship have somehow managed to split up. Frodo and Sam are on their own, as Frodo doesn’t want to burden the rest of them with protecting the ring – Sam refused to leave Frodo’s side. Merry and Pippin get held up elsewhere. The rest of the Fellowship are making their way to rescue Merry and Pippin.

Question 15

Why were Merry and Pippin separated from Gimli, Legolas, and Aragorn?

At the end of the first film, Frodo leaves the Fellowship behind so he spare them the burden. Despite the fact that Sam nearly drowned, the two go off on the journey together. Merry and Pippin were unable to accompany them. The two get a little tied up in their own situation. Out of pure luck, they manage to get out of their unfortunate predicaments, only to travel into the Forest of Fangorn where they are faced with a new dilemma.

Question 16

After Gandalf was killed in the first film, who becomes the leader of the Fellowship?

Down in the Mines of Moria, the Fellowship are attacked by a demon during their flee. They make it across the bridge, but it doesn’t take long for the demon to close the gap. Gandalf sacrifices his own life for the Fellowship, casting a spell on the demon. Costing him his life in the process, he is dragged down in the dark depths along with it. Although they are distraught by the loss of their wizard, they must continue on their journey.

Question 17

Who captures Frodo, Sam and Gollum when they are on their travels?

Despite the fact that Gollum attacked Frodo and Sam in order to get back the ring, Frodo forgives him because he knows the pain and suffering carrying the ring can do. Gollum agrees to join them because he hopes he can get close enough to Frodo that he can get his precious ring back. They arrive at the Black Gates of Mordor and realize there is no way in, so Gollum takes them down another path that goes around. Out of nowhere, they are captured – surprisingly by one of the siblings of the Fellowship.

Question 18

Who convinces the Ents to participate in the war?

After Merry and Pippin manage to escape from their kidnappers – which was not that difficult seeing as they were all slaughtered, they run into the Forest of Fangorn. They meet the Ents which are tree-like creatures who have existed for a very long time, living in seclusion. The two hobbits make their case about how they should help them win the war against Sauron. Unfortunately, they decline their help because they are not interested in getting involved, saying it’s not their problem. They dismiss the hobbits entirely.

Question 19

What kind of deadly creature does Gollum take Sam and Frodo to?

As Gollum began accompanying Frodo and Sam on their quest to destroy the ring, he actually became quite torn with whether or not he was going to harm Frodo, or even take the ring. He started to grow fond of the hobbit, perhaps it was because of how lonely he had been living in the Misty Mountain for so long. But, after the incident with Faramir, he quickly realized his one true love was the ring, and he would do anything to get it back.

Question 20

Before Gollum became the murderous creature he is, what was his former name?

As it was said before, Gollum wasn’t always the foul creature that he turned into. The corruption of the ring took a serious toll on his life. Its unimaginable power had granted him a form of immortality, although his body did suffer quite heavily. Before the ring came into his life, he was a hobbit living with his family. On his birthday, he and his cousin were out fishing when his cousin first discovered the ring. Gollum’s former self was entranced by it, and even killed for it.

Question 21

What army does Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli recruit to help them fight?

This army was permanently trapped for centuries, for they were soldiers who were unable to fulfill their oath to their rightful king. King Isildur was their king, and his family line had been forgotten for centuries. During the Third Age, they were “reawakened” by the lost heir to the throne. Although unsure at first, they fought in the war against Sauron beside their rightful king. Ultimately, they were freed from their prison-like state because they were able to fulfill their oath.

Question 22

How does Denethor almost accidentally kill Faramir?

Denethor had two sons: Boromir who was his eldest, and Faramir who was his youngest. His mother died when he was five years old, which caused his father to grow cynical because of it. He also favored his older brother, but the two did not grow apart from it. In fact, they were surprisingly close and watched out for each other. After Boromir dies, Denethor began to appreciate his last remaining son. But he began to lose sanity, which caused him to nearly kill him.

Question 23

How does Eowyn, niece of King Theodden fight in the battle?

Eowyn is the niece of King Theodden, which she was caring for since he had grown severally ill thanks to Saruman. Luckily, Gandalf visited him and used his magic to restore the king back to his health. Healed, he began his preparations to fight in the war against Mordor. She was forced to stay behind and look after his kingdom while he aided Rohan. But when Denethor II asked for his help once more, Eowyn wanted to be a part of the fight too.

Question 24

How does Gollum get Frodo to suspect Sam’s intentions?

After Gollum decided he want to finally get rid of Frodo for good, it proved harder than he thought. The hobbit was very determined to get the ring to Mordor in order to destroy it completely. And it wasn’t just Frodo he had to worry about. Sam was proving to be just as determined as Frodo – if not more. He wasn’t the one carrying the ring, so he was suffering less on their journey. But, Gollum still had his wits and knew what the ring did to a person’s mental state and used that to his advantage.

Question 25

How does Aragorn give Frodo a safe passage to Mordor?

As Frodo, Sam, and Gollum have begun their climb up the stairs, they fear that the Eye will catch them and their quest will be over. Any suspicious movement and the tower that Sauron had built would immediately turn to them and thousands of soldiers would pour back inside the gates and all would be lost. Aragorn, knowing they’re likely already inside the Gates of Mordor know that it’s on him to help the pair of hobbits in any way that he can.

Question 26

What is the name of the chainmail protected Frodo from getting pierced by a spear?

As Bilbo was giving Frodo his many possessions back in the Shire, he came across a shirt of chain-mail which he once collected on his own adventure. It was given to him by Thorin Oakenshield, and is so strong that it cannot be pierced even by the sharpest weapon. The shirt itself was worth so much more than just a piece of armor, for the material was incredibly rare in the Third Age. Nonetheless, Frodo wore his gift, and thankfully it paid off well.

Question 27

In the last film, which of the hobbits fights with Eowyn in the battle against the Orcs?

By the last installation of the trilogy, many of the Fellowship were spilt up and in different parts of Middle-Earth. The hobbits were definitely a great deal away from the Shire – Frodo and Sam were making preparations to climb the treacherous mountain. One of the hobbits were sent away because he looked into the seeing-stone and was now being hunted for it. Some of the guardians in the Fellowship were at Gondor, some other places. Eventually, they would make their way back to each other. Even Merry and Pippin.

Question 28

How does Eowyn kill the Witch-King?

During one of the many battles of the War of the Ring, Eowyn had enough of watching from the sidelines while her men went off to sacrifice their lives for their kingdom. She was very much a part of it too, and knew she could at least contribute something. After Aragorn refused to take her with him, she decided to go herself, and was happily accompanied by Merry who was in the same position as she. Seeing her uncle was wounded and in trouble, she went up against the Witch-King, who reminded her he could not be killed by any man.

Question 29

What friendly competition do Legolas and Gimli partake in during the battle?

During the Battle of Pelennor Fields, which was the one with the most loses and damages of the War of the Ring, many armies and forces came together. It was for Minas Tirith, and thanks to Aragorn and his Army of the Dead, Gondor was thankfully defended – although there were some great losses. It was here that King Theoden was killed. Of course, it wasn’t all serious because Legolas and Gimli decided to have a bit of fun throughout all of the chaos.

Question 30

What advantage is there to wearing the ring?

The One Ring was one of the most powerful weapons that Middle-Earth had ever seen. It could give the wearer great power, but it came at a cost. Because it held such immense power – that of which could be harnessed by the strongest of men, it would ultimately destroy its owner. Depending on how strong and moral a person was, the effects of the ring could be instantaneous when it came to corrupting the mind. If you were strong, like Frodo – it was a gradual, slow pain that over time became more difficult to resist.

Question 31

How does Sauron’s army try and convince the Fellowship that Frodo is dead?

After Sauron tortured Gollum to discover where his ring had last been seen, he had his eyes set on the Baggins. Knowing that it was likely his ring – the One Ring he was determined to get it back after all that time. To his surprise, he kept losing Frodo, and his ring. Not to mention that the Fellowship was closing in on the gates of Mordor, which brought the fear that Frodo might actually accomplish his task. His army decided to try and trick the Fellowship but telling them Frodo was unsuccessful and died a gruesome death, hoping they would lose hope and he could thus be victorious.

Question 32

How does Gollum get the ring off of Frodo while in the Cave of Doom?

Against all odds, Frodo and Sam manage to out-wit Gollum and make it to Mount Doom. As they began their climb, the effects of the ring, and such a travel had ultimately caught up to Frodo. Sam, determined to help his friend finish his quest carried Frodo on his back up the mountain and into the mouth of the cave. Frodo musters up the strength to walk to the cliff and stare down at the burning lava with the ring extended in his hand. But it was too late, he was unable to destroy it, so he put it on making himself invisible to attempt to get away.

Question 33

How are Sam and Frodo saved from the burning mountain?

After Gollum gets a hold of the ring, he celebrates by jumping with glee. Unfortunately he was attacked by Frodo who was determined to get the ring back. The two engage in a vicious fight before Gollum is knocked over the edge, along with the ring. Both are incinerated in the lava of Mount Doom, the One Ring lost forever. No longer under the control of its power, Frodo and Sam escape the collapsing cave only to discover the entire mountain is erupting from underneath them.

Question 34

By the end of the third film, who becomes the new King of Gondor?

After the destruction of the One Ring and the defeat of Sauron, the kingdoms of Middle-Earth rejoiced. The Kingdom of Gondor especially, for they had crowned their long lost king. After the death of Isildur all centuries ago, his family line had been lost to the kingdom. His heir had been revealed during the War of the Ring, and made it out alive through all of the battles. Thus, he was crowned king and was able to rule his land.

Question 35

After returning to the Shire, which of the hobbits gets married?

Frodo and Sam make it off Mount Doom alive thanks to Gandalf and the Eagles. The remaining members of the Fellowship are reunited and Frodo begins to recover from the mental and physical toll he had endured for that long period of time. After he had healed at Rivendell, the four hobbits decide to return to their homes in the Shire. Upon their arrival, they are surprised that not a thing had changed since they left – and none of the hobbits were even aware of the things that happened beyond their borders.
