Barad-dur is destroyed, the Black Gate collapses, and Sauron's army is cast into disarray, while the Dark Lord himself is vanquished.

Gandalf calls the three eagles to take you to Mount Doom, where you find Frodo and Sam, who have climbed above the lava flow. You are transported to the Field of Cormallen, where you meet the heroes of the Host of the West. Frodo confesses to his failure at the Cracks of Doom, and reveals that it was Gollum, not he, who destroyed the Ring.
