Place 6: Gandalf
Gandalf did not have the Ring for very long. In fact, he only held it for a few seconds before throwing it into the flames of Frodo’s fireplace to reveal its power.
Gandalf himself assumed that he could not withstand the influence of the Ring. Therefore, he avoided being in contact with it for too long.
Even though Gandalf was never long confronted with the power of the One Ring, he proved to have more strength and resilience than Isildur, who took the Ring despite knowing its dark power.
- Had the Ring for: a few seconds
