Part 8/11:
Initially, Gildor seeks to part ways after greeting Frodo, but upon learning of the dire situation, he invites Frodo and his friends to join their company for protection. During their camaraderie, he expresses concern about Frodo's journey, emphasizing his wisdom and understanding of the grave dangers ahead.
Although a similar encounter occurs in the film's extended version, Gildor's character is excluded from the theatrical cuts in order to expedite the story’s progression to Rivendell.
