Galadriel and Sauron meet in single combat in final Rings of Power S2 trailer

“Once the deceiver obtains a being’s trust, he gains the ability to sculpt their thoughts.”

Morfydd Clark stars as Galadriel in the second season of Prime Video's Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Fans eager to see a Galadriel/Sauron reunion in the second season of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will be thrilled to see the pair meeting in hand-to-hand combat in the final trailer. The trailer also hints at Sauron's growing dark powers and an unlikely alliance between elves and Uruks.

(Spoilers for S1 below.)

As previously reported, pretty much everyone guessed long before the S1 finale's reveal that Halbrand (Charlie Vickers), king of the Southlands, was Sauron in disguise. Fans even dubbed him "Hot Sauron." He took advantage of the fact that the elvish light of Valar was fading, putting the race of elves in danger of extinction unless they returned to Valinor to preserve their immortality. The discovery of the precious ore mithril gave the elves another option championed by Elrond (Robert Aramayo), Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), and the elven smith Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards).

Valve’s bespoke Steam Deck OS will be officially available on Asus’ ROG Ally

In our review of the Asus ROG Ally last year, many of our complaints centered on having to fiddle with an "awkwardly scaled" version of Windows. That's especially true when you compare the ROG Ally experience to Valve's Steam Deck and its finely handheld-tuned SteamOS 3.

Those ROG Ally complaints may be moot in the future, though, as Valve has confirmed that it is working to officially support SteamOS 3 installations on Asus' handheld.

The first hint of the move came when support for "extra ROG Ally keys" popped up out of nowhere in the latest SteamOS release notes last week. Now, speaking to The Verge, Valve's Lawrence Yang confirms that the note is indeed "related to third-party device support for SteamOS. The team is continuing to work on adding support for additional handhelds on SteamOS."
