wrong, nazgul only can't be kill by a man, which mean it can be killed by woman,hobbit,dwarf,elves,or maybe undead it self(nazgul is a fallen king who corrupted by the power of the ring and became undead)besides army of the dead only can be killed by anduril. about nazgul fel beast, do you really think the're powefull enough to kill of army of the dead ? witch king fell beast is killed by eowyn(a woman) hahahaah...sorry to say this to mordor and nazgul fan but.. mordor and nazgul are weak
.................... O. o i am amazed. in my mind i corrected your mistakes but it is no better than me! i am german. of but of corse living in america for a few years i became flewent speaking it but spelling the english words is a hassle
Gandalf was in the each race of Sauron a Maiar,and the only One who can slain him is Sauron with his physic form.The Witch-King was innmortal,but remember even Gandalf would have kill him because he cannot fall by a Man hand,but Gandalf was a Wizard and Maiar only in Man form.And when Pippin (in the book) said to Gandalf to save Faramir,Gandalf told that the Black Rider is still out and he must face him..
Gandalf the Grey can fight even against Balrog and the Nine Nazgul.Remember in the Fellowship of the Ring,Frodo,Sam,Pippin,Merry and Aragorn (Strider) have saw a cloud and fire in the Watchtower of Amon-Sul.There Gandalf fought with all the Ringwraiths (Nazgul)and drove them away.And if he can fight Balrog he can fight the Witch-King (because of course Balrog is older and most powerfol than the Witch-King.Everything in the movie was wrong about the Witch-King.
@SupaChard89 i agree, and if i remember right, Sauron collected the nine men with the rings of power AFTER he lost his physical form and turned them into ringwraiths (the Nazgúl) and the witch-king was the king of men or something right. and i think they didnt accept the rings for just immortality, it was to govern the race of men. so yeah youre right, this uploader is just talking out of the ass. but i still like the witch-king.
@Syatek2020 I know what you're TRYING to say, but you make no sense. Also, that's not the reason. Again: Has anyone read The Lord of the Rings or The Silmarillion?
i would have been nice if you also explained more about his death, because he should have been immortal, wearing a ring of power. If you read the books, you should know that merry stabbed him with a sword he found in a gravehill near the shire, and that it had belonged to the numenor of arnor, who forged it to resist the nazgûl, so by stabbing him, he kinda destroyed the spell of the ring that made him immortal, giving eowyn a change to kill him, which she did. No offence, just giveng som intel.
@inflames200 na anscheinend hast es du verstanden. und da du weißt, dass auch ich so spreche, wundert mich es, dass du auf englsich antwortest. in einer firma würde ich das als unhöflichen umgang interpretieren.
just for info, gandalf was much more powerful than appearing in the movie. if anyone has read the books will see that his staff didnt break, nor did he fall from his horse because a huge dragon bird let out a scream.
also im quite sure that after his battle wiht the balrog and gnadolf goes from gandolf the gray to gandalf the white. he becomes stronger than "any but he who sits upon the dark throne"
sorry to be a buzzkill but the bit about gandolfs meeting witht he witchking is incorrect, the version youve described happens only in the film, in the book its different
(now my desc mightnt be a 100% accurate as ive not got the book to hand) but i think after the gate of gondor is broken by grond he enters on his horse, then the rohirrim come and he turns around, exits minas tirith and goes to deal with them
Gandalf is a Maia', not a god for the first thing, and the Witch King's abilities did temporarily over power him, but the screech of the Nazgul's Morgul blade and the fell beast made quite the terrible combination. If the witch king had been subject to the full light of the valor in Gandalf's full strength he would have been bested but not beaten of course since fate dictates he may not be slain by man.
But your grammar and knowledge of Lotr lore needs revising.
Considering how according to the movies, Aragon used a torch to defeat 5 Nazguls, the Balrog would've lit up the Witch King like a straw torch doused with gasoline.
@F0ck93 yea it is, if gandalf was such a ninja why the hell would his staff explode like he is some pussy, book is better, and book is original, so staff was never broken
I always thought that its was the blade that Merry found in the barrow-mounds that did all the work. It was a weapon from the first age and as such could touch the wraith whereas any other weapon would just pass right thru them like smoke.
@xecidex no the nazgul are the 9 caped once-human-lords that were given rings of power which were in turn controlled by the one ring. the leader of the nazgul is the witch king of angmar...
@ThaUsualSuspects first of all if a man had killed him i am sure you werent going to be so dissapointed because you think womans cant do what men can and second eowyn would have died if merry hadent stubed the witch king in the back
grrrrrrr.... eowyn.... find... kill... burn.... lamentation...... houses.... cursed...... cursed........ return the city........ minas tirith...... to minas morgul........ kill her........
dnfuehdfbgyhrbfhSOrbgfedhbgfibgftreadgxhujdghyg nestygh yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! there was no honour in that act! marry striked from the back, eowyn striked on man kneeling! do you attack man on the ground?
kill................. kill................ return The Nine............... their kingdom awaits.......
@Werewolf9098 Actually, yes, you strike from the back, when you can win that way. There is no honor in losing, so that your women and children can be murdered and tortured. The Witch king in an earlier scene orders that all, (to include prisoners, women and children) be killed. To confuse knightly courtesy as in a game with a battle for survival is to make the mistake of the "Battle of Maldon" on which Tolkien wrote a play.
@S4disticJ0k3r That is one of Tolkien's points. "Small hands move the world because they must, while the great are busy elsewhere." Neither Eowyn nor Merry were intended to be at that battle by their king. Victory depended on their courage and disobedience. I get the impression that Tolkien was not an advocate of central planning, having experience with its failures in WWI and WWII.
@S4disticJ0k3r I figure that Glorfindel's prophecy or foresight was gained based on some subconscious sensing of a spell of protection. It may be that the 9 rings provided some spell of protection, but the key point is blindness of the maker of the spell of protection. The blindness or incompleteness of spells of protection is a common theme, seen in Homer with regard to Achilles, or in the Niblungenlied, with the linden leaf that stuck to Sigurd limiting his protection by the dragon's blood.
@DonMeaker The 9 Rings were in possession of Sauron himself, it's made clear in the Letters.
Also, it's not really an incompleteness in the spell, but rather the fact there were weapons that could harm the Witch-King badly, and undo the spells (those spells were nothing like the examples you gave). The spells knitted his sinews to his will.
Witch king was so obssesed with power to kill the maiden of rohan-Eowyn and he forgot to look behind for OTher enemies. This mistake costed him the life. Of course the sword of merry(Simple short sword of rorrhirim equipment) cant har him but he stunned him enogh that the sword of eowyn cut his face down. -.-
@NEMESIS98Stars Merry's sword was the only thing that could harm the Witch-King that badly (except the other swords from the Barrow-Downs, given by Tom Bombadil off course), because it was enchanted, and forged in the war of Arnor against the Witch-King. Those spells were meant to harm the Witch-King. When Merry stabbed him, the Witch-King's protective spells were gone and he was vulnerable to Eowyn's attack.
You're theory is very easy to counter. Eowyn's sword is also ordinary, and: books.
@MasterBombadillo "...and not by the hand of man shall he fall..." His spell of protection was against men, and he was not protected against Eowyn or against Merry.
@DonMeaker The Prophecy of Glorfindel isn't one that says the WK can't be killed by a man, but it says he wouldn't be killed by a man, which are two different things. It's not a spell of protection.
Besides that, you can't say Merry isn't a man, or, if he isn't, Eowyn wouldn't be able to kill him because she's a Man of race. Also, the sword from the Barrow-Downs lifted the spells of protection: it wasn't because Merry wasn't a Man that he could damage the WK, but because of his blade.
They didn't mess it up. In fact, it can be argued that the attack was Aragorn's fault. He was to careless when he was on Weathertop, searching for signs of Gandalf. Also, the Hobbits did nothing wrong while in the valley. They even managed to warn Strider and Frodo about the attack. Really, Hobbits don't do everything wrong.
@zinnerNL In the movies. I hate the changes they made, and that was one of them. In the books, Aragorn made a fire. The Nine are afraid of fire. It's a better weapon then a sword against a Nazgul. Well, ordinary swords. The swords from the Barrow-Downs, given by Tom Bombadil, were actually cursed and could wound the Witch-King badly, which we saw when Merry stabbed him.
@zinnerNL The sword of Merry (and the other Hobbits, apart from Sting) was one forged by the smiths of Arnor, to counter the Witch-King. This Dunedain knife was enchanted with spells.
And who cares about what PJ did in the movies? It's far from canonical what happened in there.
ive only seen the movies thats why i refer to them. Ah I see, so merry was lucky to pick the dagger with the enchanted spells which aragorn gave them on weathertop?
@zinnerNL Aragorn didn't give anything to them in the books. Between Buckland and Bree, they crossed the Old Forest (where they met Tom Bombadil) and the Barrow Downs. They were caught by a Wight, but Tom Bombadil saved them, banishing the spirit and gave them a bit of the treasure inside: four enchanted daggers, which were short swords in Hobbit hands.
What a dopeass little dude, pointy little hat and everything, fire sword...I don't get how Aragorn can fend off like five nazgul and yet Gandalf, who has strayed out of time and space and essentially become deifeid to some degree, can't even fight one.
@DZZeborro First of all, jezmuff meant it's strange that Aragorn defeated five of them (book-wise he didn't) and Gandalf couldn't fight one. So you have the same opinion.
Secondly, Gandalf didn't won. He was able to hold them off, in order to retreat.
@MasterBombadillo Yes you're right, he did hold them off rather than defeat, but he did so for a whole night, and intentionally to allow Frodo to pass unnoticed (which ofc the silly hobbits managed to screw up).
@DZZeborro If Gandalf would've defeated the Nine, then the encounter between Frodo and five of the Nazgul wouldn't have happened. And how did the Hobbits screwed it up? They were following Aragorn's orders.
The Numenorean Er-Murazor was the most gifted and powerful of the many great Lords of Westernesse. Although only a prince, his might outshone all but a few of Numenor's kings and, in the end, he lived longer than any of the Adan sons. His tale covers over six and a half millenia. He was born in the year S.A. 1820 on the island of Numenor as the second son of king Tar-Ciryatan. His mother gave him the name Tindomul ( Twilight Son) for he was born during a solar eclipse.

@Angulion001 That's just fan fiction, Tolkien never told us names of the Nazgul, except for Khamul. We can only guess what his former identity was. I read much better theories than that one.
@MasterBombadillo Not just humble fan fiction, my friend. The source of my information is the official book of Angmar from the M.E.R.S. series and I only posted a very small part of it. But I agree with you... those detailed informations aren't from our beloved J.R.R. Tolkien and so they can be named as rumours.
@Angulion001 Sorry, what's M.E.R.S.? Is it the role playing or something else?
And with fan fiction I mean everything what isn't written by J.R.R. or C. Tolkien. I don't think somebody who isn't a fan would write a book about Angmar.
@MasterBombadillo Yes, Middle Earth Roleplay System is the biggest rpg based on Tolkiens novels. And well, some employee doesn't have to be a fan of something when writing, for example, about Angmar. That's the difference between money makers and true fans... a fan usualy doesn't earn their money with their writings - more doing it for the joy of it.
@eaglevomit01 Yet I agree with you over the fact that there are many flaws in this video, you're not right either with the point you're trying to make. The Witch-King never was a Dark Lord. His identity before becoming one of the Nine is very unclear, it's possible he was a Numenorean lord. He wasn't resurrected by Sauron to lead the Ringwraiths, but because he was the mightiest among them, he took the lead. if you're referring to the Fall of Arnor, I should note he already was a Nazgul.
Have anyone here played the Battle for Middle-Earth Rise of the WK? If you have, you got to play the epilouge. Arnor's men could kill the WK, but, i think it was Elrond, that said that he did not have any powers left... And many years after that, the WK killed king Theoden! Fuck you, Elrond, fuck you!! -.-
@tord0 Yeah, and games are a very valuable source about this lore.
When the Witch-King was defeated, he fled to Mordor, Glorfindel told King Earnur he should not pursue the Witch-King because he wouldn't fall by the hand of a man. Elrond wasn't even there. They never had a chance to actually kill the Witch-King. Eowyn was destined to do it.
Over the hills of slain a hideous shape appeared: a horseman, tall, hooded, cloaked in black. Slowly, trampling the fallen, he rode forth, heeding no longer any dart. He halted and held up a long pale sword. As he did so a great fear fell on all, defender and foe alike; and the hands of men drooped to their sides, and no bow sang. For a moment all was still. That is the fear he produces but yet is not shown in the movies at all.
wk beat gandalf in the book too!!! learn to use your mind when you read!! when the 9 were chasing frodo and glorfiendel, that scene where the 9 stopped becuz of the water...frodo was across the river with his sword pulled out or smth like that...then one of them (wk) raised his sword in the air and suddenly frodo's sword broke into pieces...when wk met gandalf at minas tirith Tolkien didn't say wk broke gandalf's staff with his magic...he said that wk raised his sword in the air => BOOM
@killingracer Wow! How did your comment have anything to do with WK beating Gandalf in the book?All your comment said was that the WK owned Frodo then Glorfindel had to save him.How does holding up your sword until flame comes down it equals to BOOM???Learn to use your mind while reading !
The WK and Gandalf never fought face-to-face at Gondor, in the book, and you left out Gandalf fighting all nine at weathertop. Plus, Minas Morgul was lost and retaken several times.
The Angmar legacy is awesome. I really appreciate you added this vid. You were right in about everything, though it would be nice if you improved your spelling and grammer. Anyway, GREAT vid!
I always assumed that the war against Anor by Angmar was led by the witch king before he actually was given the ring by Sauron. I guess I learned a good bit from this video. Thanks ^^
half this stuff is wrong, Hobbiton was the name of the place IN the shire where nearly all hobbits live Frodo lives in Bag End under The Hill, The old man u mentioned was the "Old Gaffer" or Ham Gamgee father of Sam Gamgee. The Nazguls first found the hobbits at The Prancing Pony in Bree where corrupted spies dwelled which told them all news of the hobbits for Frodo made a mistake while he was in the Bar and had slipped on the ring, also he stabbed him with a dagger of pure darkness.
was it not also in the books written that men are equal to Ainur? Illuvatar stated that men were his second race of children so equal to his previous races he made. He made the Ainur, Elfs and Men... so why is it impossible for the Witch King (a former man) to kill an Ainur?
youdont know hat your talkin about sauron didnt tell them to find baggins they tortured gollum until he said and i quote " shire ....... baggins " get it straight
In book Gandalf horse was calm when confronted face to face with the witch king and his flying beast. The staff didn't broke too and Gandalf himself was calm and didn't fall off his horse back so I've been told.
not to be a major kill joy here, its a good video with good knowledge, but theres one mistake. in the book gandalf and the witch king never actually fought, the movie was wrong, gandalf prepared to fight him alone but before anything happened the rohirim came ana the witch king flew off. but other than that 5 stars
nice

@Werewolf9098 Actually, yes, you strike from the back, when you can win that way. There is no honor in losing, so that your women and children can be murdered and tortured. The Witch king in an earlier scene orders that all, (to include prisoners, women and children) be killed. To confuse knightly courtesy as in a game with a battle for survival is to make the mistake of the "Battle of Maldon" on which Tolkien wrote a play.

Its super fucking gay that the witch king gets killed by some bitch and her stupid butt buddy... what a fucking retarded end to an awesome character.
S4disticJ0k3r 11 months ago
@S4disticJ0k3r That is one of Tolkien's points. "Small hands move the world because they must, while the great are busy elsewhere." Neither Eowyn nor Merry were intended to be at that battle by their king. Victory depended on their courage and disobedience. I get the impression that Tolkien was not an advocate of central planning, having experience with its failures in WWI and WWII.

@DonMeaker I dont fucking care... Its a retarded as fuck concept that should be abolished and burnt to ashes.
S4disticJ0k3r 11 months ago
@S4disticJ0k3r I figure that Glorfindel's prophecy or foresight was gained based on some subconscious sensing of a spell of protection. It may be that the 9 rings provided some spell of protection, but the key point is blindness of the maker of the spell of protection. The blindness or incompleteness of spells of protection is a common theme, seen in Homer with regard to Achilles, or in the Niblungenlied, with the linden leaf that stuck to Sigurd limiting his protection by the dragon's blood.
DonMeaker 11 months ago
@DonMeaker The 9 Rings were in possession of Sauron himself, it's made clear in the Letters.
Also, it's not really an incompleteness in the spell, but rather the fact there were weapons that could harm the Witch-King badly, and undo the spells (those spells were nothing like the examples you gave). The spells knitted his sinews to his will.

Witch king was so obssesed with power to kill the maiden of rohan-Eowyn and he forgot to look behind for OTher enemies. This mistake costed him the life. Of course the sword of merry(Simple short sword of rorrhirim equipment) cant har him but he stunned him enogh that the sword of eowyn cut his face down. -.-
NEMESIS98Stars 1 year ago
@NEMESIS98Stars Merry's sword was the only thing that could harm the Witch-King that badly (except the other swords from the Barrow-Downs, given by Tom Bombadil off course), because it was enchanted, and forged in the war of Arnor against the Witch-King. Those spells were meant to harm the Witch-King. When Merry stabbed him, the Witch-King's protective spells were gone and he was vulnerable to Eowyn's attack.
You're theory is very easy to counter. Eowyn's sword is also ordinary, and: books.
MasterBombadillo 1 year ago
@MasterBombadillo "...and not by the hand of man shall he fall..." His spell of protection was against men, and he was not protected against Eowyn or against Merry.
DonMeaker 11 months ago
@DonMeaker The Prophecy of Glorfindel isn't one that says the WK can't be killed by a man, but it says he wouldn't be killed by a man, which are two different things. It's not a spell of protection.
Besides that, you can't say Merry isn't a man, or, if he isn't, Eowyn wouldn't be able to kill him because she's a Man of race. Also, the sword from the Barrow-Downs lifted the spells of protection: it wasn't because Merry wasn't a Man that he could damage the WK, but because of his blade.

They didn't mess it up. In fact, it can be argued that the attack was Aragorn's fault. He was to careless when he was on Weathertop, searching for signs of Gandalf. Also, the Hobbits did nothing wrong while in the valley. They even managed to warn Strider and Frodo about the attack. Really, Hobbits don't do everything wrong.

@zinnerNL In the movies. I hate the changes they made, and that was one of them. In the books, Aragorn made a fire. The Nine are afraid of fire. It's a better weapon then a sword against a Nazgul. Well, ordinary swords. The swords from the Barrow-Downs, given by Tom Bombadil, were actually cursed and could wound the Witch-King badly, which we saw when Merry stabbed him.
MasterBombadillo 1 year ago
But the sword from merry is a simpel rohirrim sword, at least in the movie
zinnerNL 1 year ago
@zinnerNL The sword of Merry (and the other Hobbits, apart from Sting) was one forged by the smiths of Arnor, to counter the Witch-King. This Dunedain knife was enchanted with spells.
And who cares about what PJ did in the movies? It's far from canonical what happened in there.

ive only seen the movies thats why i refer to them. Ah I see, so merry was lucky to pick the dagger with the enchanted spells which aragorn gave them on weathertop?
zinnerNL 1 year ago
@zinnerNL Aragorn didn't give anything to them in the books. Between Buckland and Bree, they crossed the Old Forest (where they met Tom Bombadil) and the Barrow Downs. They were caught by a Wight, but Tom Bombadil saved them, banishing the spirit and gave them a bit of the treasure inside: four enchanted daggers, which were short swords in Hobbit hands.

@DZZeborro First of all, jezmuff meant it's strange that Aragorn defeated five of them (book-wise he didn't) and Gandalf couldn't fight one. So you have the same opinion.
Secondly, Gandalf didn't won. He was able to hold them off, in order to retreat.
MasterBombadillo 1 year ago
@MasterBombadillo Yes you're right, he did hold them off rather than defeat, but he did so for a whole night, and intentionally to allow Frodo to pass unnoticed (which ofc the silly hobbits managed to screw up).
DZZeborro 1 year ago
@DZZeborro If Gandalf would've defeated the Nine, then the encounter between Frodo and five of the Nazgul wouldn't have happened. And how did the Hobbits screwed it up? They were following Aragorn's orders.

@MasterBombadillo Exactly my point. Ant Hobbits do everything wrong, it can't possibly be Aragorn's fault. :o

Origins of the Witch-King
The Numenorean Er-Murazor was the most gifted and powerful of the many great Lords of Westernesse. Although only a prince, his might outshone all but a few of Numenor's kings and, in the end, he lived longer than any of the Adan sons. His tale covers over six and a half millenia. He was born in the year S.A. 1820 on the island of Numenor as the second son of king Tar-Ciryatan. His mother gave him the name Tindomul ( Twilight Son) for he was born during a solar eclipse.

@Angulion001 That's just fan fiction, Tolkien never told us names of the Nazgul, except for Khamul. We can only guess what his former identity was. I read much better theories than that one.
MasterBombadillo 1 year ago
@MasterBombadillo Not just humble fan fiction, my friend. The source of my information is the official book of Angmar from the M.E.R.S. series and I only posted a very small part of it. But I agree with you... those detailed informations aren't from our beloved J.R.R. Tolkien and so they can be named as rumours.

@Angulion001 Sorry, what's M.E.R.S.? Is it the role playing or something else?
And with fan fiction I mean everything what isn't written by J.R.R. or C. Tolkien. I don't think somebody who isn't a fan would write a book about Angmar.
MasterBombadillo 1 year ago
@MasterBombadillo Yes, Middle Earth Roleplay System is the biggest rpg based on Tolkiens novels. And well, some employee doesn't have to be a fan of something when writing, for example, about Angmar. That's the difference between money makers and true fans... a fan usualy doesn't earn their money with their writings - more doing it for the joy of it.

@Angulion001 You've got a point. But when it's not written by fans, it's even less valuable. A (true) fan would do much better research.

The witch king of Angmar was a Dark Lord in the ancient past.
He was resurrected by Sauron to lead the followers that he had enslaved with the 9 rings for mortal men doomed to die.
eaglevomit01 1 year ago
@eaglevomit01 Yet I agree with you over the fact that there are many flaws in this video, you're not right either with the point you're trying to make. The Witch-King never was a Dark Lord. His identity before becoming one of the Nine is very unclear, it's possible he was a Numenorean lord. He wasn't resurrected by Sauron to lead the Ringwraiths, but because he was the mightiest among them, he took the lead. if you're referring to the Fall of Arnor, I should note he already was a Nazgul.

@tord0 Yeah, and games are a very valuable source about this lore.
When the Witch-King was defeated, he fled to Mordor, Glorfindel told King Earnur he should not pursue the Witch-King because he wouldn't fall by the hand of a man. Elrond wasn't even there. They never had a chance to actually kill the Witch-King. Eowyn was destined to do it.

Over the hills of slain a hideous shape appeared: a horseman, tall, hooded, cloaked in black. Slowly, trampling the fallen, he rode forth, heeding no longer any dart. He halted and held up a long pale sword. As he did so a great fear fell on all, defender and foe alike; and the hands of men drooped to their sides, and no bow sang. For a moment all was still. That is the fear he produces but yet is not shown in the movies at all.

half this stuff is wrong, Hobbiton was the name of the place IN the shire where nearly all hobbits live Frodo lives in Bag End under The Hill, The old man u mentioned was the "Old Gaffer" or Ham Gamgee father of Sam Gamgee. The Nazguls first found the hobbits at The Prancing Pony in Bree where corrupted spies dwelled which told them all news of the hobbits for Frodo made a mistake while he was in the Bar and had slipped on the ring, also he stabbed him with a dagger of pure darkness.
