However, their ring is soon stolen by Shelob, the spider-like creature who possesses great power and knowledge. 

Shelob promises to aid Talion in his fight against Sauron if he retrieves artifacts for her. Talion and Celebrimbor set out to recover the stolen ring, facing various enemies and forging alliances along the way. They traverse the vast regions of Mordor, encountering powerful Orc warlords, loyalists to Sauron, and the mysterious Nazgûl, who seek to corrupt Talion and claim the ring for themselves.
