What exactly happened to Gandalf when he fought the Balrog?
>>68652022
He died from exhaustion and then the gods were like "You dun did gud bro, we're gonna send you back to defeat and replace Saruman çause he betrayed us, that fuck."
And he woke up in Fangorn (I think) and was like "I have to stop Saruman, the gods will it"
>>68652022
He leveled up

Naw he actually woke up where he died, on the mountain. Then one of the Eagles found him and took him to Lothlorien where he was given his white robes and staff and then he went to Fangorn the meet up with Aragorn and co.

The balrog battered him with its wings and then revealed himself to be mike tyson

It says in the Silmarillion that when Gandalf died he talked to the main god Eru himself, who told Gandalf there was more shit to do and sent his ass back to middle earth
they fell to epic depths as they battled, only to somehow end up on top of a snowy mountian by the end......
because plot.
It's pretty much already been covered, but yeah. Basically he died and Eru Illuvatar was all "Hey, you're still needed back in Middle Earth brohemian. Saruman is a cunt, Radagast is fucking crazy, and the Blue Wizards....well. To be honest I have no fuckin' clue where they are. Anyways, you're the White Wizard now. Good luck and godspeed. Is that a thing in Middle Earth? 'Godspeed'? Is it like...'Illuvaspeed'? Hmm. You're still here? Fucking hell dude just go."
Something like that.

Gandlaf got cucked by the big balrog cock. Galadriel farted out a couple of half caste kids and he was doomed to raise them.

>because plot
wat?
They fought for like a week. The only plot device is that Gandalf died and came back, the altitude didnt matter, stupid.

tell that to balrog's snapped neck
>>68652022
maybe you should watch Two Towers (Extended Edition) for the answer.

Actually it wasn't in the silmarillion, at least not the pdf I found online. I swear I had a version that said it, but I don't know. Tolkien does say that eru saves gandalf in some letters so it definitely did happen.

It was probably in the appendicies in LotR, lot of interesting shit there. And it made the basis of probably half of the Hobbit movies.

Why do they say godspeed? What gods were known to have very fast speed?
>>68653930
That'd make sense. I used to have a bunch of physical LOTR books in high school but I don't know where they are anymore.
