Sauron’s identity has finally been revealed in Rings of Power, and it’s natural to wonder if he’s been using special abilities and powers all along—he’s certainly been more secretive than starting large fires to kill harfoots. Here’s everything you need to know on Sauron’s abilities and powers in Rings of Power.
What Are Sauron’s Powers in The Rings of Power?
Season 1 showed off a few off Sauron’s impressive abilities, and we’ve compiled them in a short list below:
- Mind control and manipulation
- Abnormal strength
- Immortality
In The Rings of Power’s finale Sauron inserts himself into a few of Galadriel’s memories, even impersonating her brother to make his case for only wanting to heal Middle-earth. She doesn’t believe him and forces him to flee Eregion, but he leaves her in a river reliving a memory of drowning in the Sundering Seas until Elrond rescues her.
Winning a fight against Tamar and his friends is a sign of his super strength from the movies. He was the most likely to survive the eruption of Mt. Doom because Sauron is immune to fire. Finally, Sauron is immortal in the best way: his spirit lives on when his body dies so he’s never truly gone.
And of course, it doesn’t help that Sauron has proven to be rather charismatic as well, as seen in the way he talks and relates to people, and even persuades Celebrimbor to see things his way. Evil and charisma are a deadly combination.
That’s everything we have on all abilities and powers Sauron uses in Rings of Power. Check out some of our other Rings of Power content like what an Istari is, who dies in season 1, and where The Stranger is from.
