* Seeing [[spoiler:Celebrimbor's death]] from his perspective is pretty unnerving. Also counts as a TearJerker, considering both the event and what happened just before.
** To clarify: [[spoiler: Sauron, in his Annatar guise, beats Celebrimbor to death with a smithing hammer. By "his perspective," we mean Celebrimbor's point of view. And then there's a wet-sounding crunch on the third or so swing, which ''still'' doesn't kill him, and you get a nice view of Sauron flipping the hammer around to the pointy end before he finishes the job.]] Immediately before this, [[spoiler: you get to see Celebrimbor bound in chains and forced to watch as Sauron kills his captive wife and daughter with a single swing from his mace -- there's a GoryDiscretionShot but that doesn't stop you from hearing their desperate screaming as he approaches them.]]
** Want a bit more? [[spoiler:Listen to the sounds made on the fourth and last swings before the flashback ends. Look at how much blood is dripping off the thing when it's flipped around for the final swing. It's not hard to imagine that Sauron beat Celebrimbor until his head split open, then buried the spike of the hammer in his ''brain.'']]

** He also says other lines, mainly in Elvish, such as "Edwenno o gwath! - Ochedin Valannor! - Nan iChir Gelair!". [[note]] For those who don't understand Elvish, they say: "March forth from the shadow! - Renounce the blessed realm! - I am the Bright Lord!". [[spoiler:And yes, Bright Lord as an opposite to Dark Lord.]][[/note]]

Added DiffLines:

* There's a decent amount of evidence that Núrn is currently being set upon by a sea monster, not too dissimilar to the Watcher in the Water that attacked the Fellowship at Moria. There's at least one artifact that alludes a man being attacked by something in the water, and it sounds absolutely chilling. Fortunately, Talion doesn't ever encounter the beast.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** The Tower in general is a dose of nightmare fuel: The BodyHorror on him is taken UpToEleven, and when you enter his stronghold he makes the corpses turn to look at you. You look at his throne, see it's empty- then the camera pans around, and suddenly he's there again. The guy is just a walking nightmare.
