Ever wondered how long it really takes to walk from the Shire to Mordor? YouTuber Emulated Vintage Gaming decided to find out the hard way by embarking on a 10-hour journey across Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings Online, retracing Frodo’s path step by step.

Along the way, the video features Andy Serkis’s reading passages from The Fellowship of the Ring (audiobook), The Two Towers (audiobook), and The Return of the King (audiobook), turning it into an immersive audiobook-meets-virtual-pilgrimage experience.

Watch the 10-hour trip below and see if you can make it all the way to Mordor before second breakfast! Also, be sure to watch the end featuring Gollum taking the ring from Frodo at around 9:36:20.
