| Aug 6, 2017 at 12:58 | comment | added | Ian Thompson | @RichS --- I've tried to work out how Gandalf knew that casting the ring into the fires of Mount Doom was the only way to destroy it. It's too long for a comment, so I've posted an answer. However, I don't think a definitive answer exists. | |

| Aug 5, 2017 at 18:46 | comment | added | RichS | This answers how Gandalf learned of the ring's history from Elrond, but does not answer how anyone would know the only way to destroy the ring. Can you provide quotes from the books showing how they know of the one way to destroy the one ring? | |
