📜 Plot Overview
Building on the original’s hunt, The Hunt for Gollum 2 delves deeper into Middle-earth’s shadowy interlude between The Hobbit and Fellowship. Gollum, tormented by the One Ring’s grip, slips beyond Mirkwood into darker forests. Aragorn and Gandalf pursue him through ancient ruins and forsaken realms—possibly even Balin’s ill-fated colony—uncovering Gollum’s tortured psyche and the Ring’s deepening hold on his soul. The chase builds toward the Dead Marshes, culminating in a pivotal confrontation that sets the stage for future events.
