–Gollum in The Two Towers | ||
Gollum is a character that can be found, tamed, and will then follow his master. He can carry items in his inventory and catch fish.
Gollum can be killed by various means, including hired units, and only one of the Gollum NPC spawns per world, so caution is advised.
Gollum has his name above his head that you can see through blocks, it is small from far away but helps if you are struggling to find him even with the sounds. It can be seen from 57-60 blocks away.
Spawning[]
Unlike most mobs, Gollum is a singular character, and only one will spawn naturally per world. He spawns under the High Pass waypoint in the Misty Mountains.
If Gollum is killed, he will respawn under the High Pass - not necessarily in the same place as before. This may take some time.
Taming[]
Gollum can be tamed by right clicking on him with raw fish. When Gollum is first found, the amount of fish needed to tame him is 20.
If Gollum is already owned by another player, then he can still be tamed by someone else. The catch is that it will require more fish to tame him than it did originally - and every time he is tamed, the amount needed for the next taming increases exponentially (with a bit of randomness), by the third player tame Gollum can easily cost 4 stacks of fish.
If Gollum is killed, the amount of fish needed to tame him resets back to the original amount needed.
As of Public Beta 24, once he is tamed, you will earn the achievement "The Taming of Sméagol."
Behaviour[]
Gollum will automatically regenerate health over time.
Gollum has several different states:
Carrying items[]
- If you shift right click on a tamed Gollum, his inventory GUI will open, allowing you to store items like a Pouch.
Following the player[]
- This is the normal state where a tamed Gollum will follow the player. He can be right-clicked to stop him from following you.
Sitting[]
- If right-clicked, a tamed Gollum will change to this state. He will no longer follow you but jump around at one spot. He can be right-clicked again to continue following you.
Fleeing[]
- If Gollum sees an enemy (for example elves and orcs) or you hit him, he will flee for some seconds but soon come back. When you hit him, Gollum will say something like "Master has betrayed us!" but will behave normally when this state ends.
Catching fish[]
- Sometimes, Gollum will catch fish for the owner: He will run to the next water source, hunting the fish for some time and then come back to you, giving you a random amount of raw fish (1-14fish).

Summoning Gollum[]
You can summon Gollum by yourself with a spawn egg or with the following command (you have to enter your Minecraft name):
/lotr_summon lotr.Gollum ~ ~ ~ {GollumOwnerName:[Your Minecraft name]}
As of Public Beta 20 Gollum can be found in-game, and tamed with raw fish. He spawns in a cave under High Pass, and it is quite hard to find him.
History[]
Gollum was originally a secret mob added exclusively for the winner of a building contest. In Public Beta 20, this was changed - he was made to spawn in the world so as to be available for everyone, and given 27 inventory slots instead of the original 9.
Known Bugs[]
Gollum has slight sound bugs in that horizontally, the player can hear him at appropriate ranges, but occasionally vertically (if the player is above Gollum) his sounds can be heard infinitely.
