Read the <A HREF="http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/2/1052637533" TARGET=_blank>whole post</A> there guys. This spoiler is pretty much debunked. Here's a quote.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Update:<P>Well, I said I was unconvinced by a Gaming report alone, and here's a counter from a much more credible source. John points out that Brian Sibley's "The Making of the Movie Trilogy" contains a reference to Paths of the Dead on page 61. It says:<P><BR>"Time to go on," says Richard, "time to take the paths of the Dead!" <P>And we are passing between sculpted rock walls in black styrofoam carved with a riot of ruined buildings -- steps, doorways, towers, and turrets -- all this way and that, and each numbered with a small yellow sticker and pained a luminous green for the purposes of digital photography.<P><BR>Additionally, Argo from our Discussion Boards points out this Gamespot review of the same game.<P>From Gamespot.com, a very good gaming site;<P>"After the defeat of Saruman and the forces of Isengard, the attention of the broken Fellowship of the Ring has turned collectively toward Mordor and the final destruction of the One Ring. You'll be able to play as eight different characters in various areas taken directly from the movie, such as Gandalf as he helps defend Minas Tirith during the Battle of the Pellennor Fields; Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli as they traverse the Paths of the Dead; and Frodo and Sam as they strive to reach the fiery cracks of Mount Doom while opposed by the evil hosts of Mordor" <P>Perhaps IGN was mistaken?<P>Update 2: Ringer Spy Tar Anaclime sends this scan of a section of a map the NZ Film Commission produced which lists all the set locations from Lord of the Rings. Note it lists Paths of the Dead twice.<P>Unless something else emerges, I guess we can count the report of the deletion of the Paths of the Dead pretty much debunked ... for now. <BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>As was mentioned at the start of the OneRing report, video games make pretty unreliable spoiler information as the people that write the promos likely know little about the book or the film and often get facts wrong. My guess is that this writer confused Paths of the Dead with the Dead Marshes.<P>So relax and continue on with your regularly scheduled programs.<P>H.C.
