The Siege of Gondor, one of the greatest conflicts during the War of the Ring. Being a series of battles fought between the free peoples of Middle-Earth and the forces of the Dark Lord Sauron, the Siege of Gondor became one of the most renowned events of the Third Age. Knowing that the heir of Isildur is marching towards the city and believing that a ring lord is soon to be revealed, the Lord of Mordor launches his war prematurely hoping to destroy Gondor before the free peoples can be united. Will Minas Tirith withstand the power of the East? This is the Siege of Gondor, the tale of heroic deeds and the most important conflict of the War of the Ring.

    Did you find the hidden easter egg (Gollum)? It was way too long since I attempted one of these projects. Some might be disappointed that I decided to recreate this siege instead of focusing on a new project, however, I have such a passion for this conflict, and I really wanted to see my progress since the first time. This video was by far the most ambitious project on this channel as of yet. Multiple artists were hired to provide lore-accurate art, 3D-scenes and animations. I also got the show off all the new maps I have created  The video caused a huge budget deficit, but it was worth it considering the amount of details I could fit in. If the video gave you some value in any way, entertainment, nostalgia or whatever, please consider leaving a like and a comment to help leverage this project. Thanks to TheCapitaineMax, Domenic Minniti, John Smith, Forrest Johnson, Paradox, Observer, Samuel-A001, Gabriel Yalap, Gigi Quillian, Tom Stappenbelt and Richard Trout for their support! I very much appreciate the support who goes directly into funding my artist! Consider supporting me here: www.patreon.com/join/LOME
  • we need the Battle of Sudden Flame and The Battle of Unnumbered Tears in this style
  • @Supermunch2000
    Peter Jackson's Battle of the Pelennor Fields was beautiful, epic and emotional but Tolkien's was better.
  • I have great respect and admiration for the Easterlings of Rhun. They are described as valiant and proud warriors, I admire how even after all other forces of their allies had long since routed, they stood firm and fought fiercely to the end.
  • @NerdoftheRings
    This might be my favorite video of yours yet, my friend! Really great stuff!
  • @ali-aqmusic
    Can’t wait for more Mellon, you can clearly see the hard work and time that you put in this video you deserve more. AND IF YOU ARE NOT SUBSCRIBED TO THIS MAN THEN DO IT!!
  • As an film-editor myself, I can surely say: THIS IS AMAZING WORK! Great animations and above all, great storytelling my friend 🙏🏻 I salute you!
  • @TheDawnlessDays

  • @javier.aguilar

  • What a colossal amount of effort went into the making of this!! Very impressive!
  • @hadifarhadi1824
    perhaps you don’t know that you have big fans in Iran who admire your videos. Keep it up bro👊
  • @nilocblue
    Wow I was not expecting such an amazing and professional video like this. Your writing was excellent, not getting too lost in details, but still adding just the right amount of character events. Well done!
  • @sayagarapan1686
    Where have you been, buddy? I hope you're not dead from Covid or something. If you are, can I have your Sting and One Ring Replica's? Okay, well, quit loafing and come back soon. Cheers, my friend.

    Waiting for this was so worth it! I don't care that you did remake this battle instead of making a whole new video bc you improved it so much (like including theoden defeating the haradrim chieftrain). Like allways i like the immages you are using for your videos but that birds eye view of minas tirith and osgiliath killed it, its like a fusion of a modern drone picture and an old painting, i love it! Also its so cool you are using the lord of the rings online for things like eowyns battle. In difference to your first video now you give us more background info to the battle like it was portrayed in the books not the movies and a wider picture. Again fantastic work on this one! I allways felt like faramir get way to less praise for what he accomplished. Loosing only 1/3 of his men while not only holding osgiliath against the morgul host but also retreating the whole way back to minas tirith while beeing constantly attacked by orks, humans and nazgûl is an impressive feat not many leader could had been done.
