'The Hobbit 3' spoilers: Major spoilers from the 'Five Armies Chronicles' Art and Design Book revealed

A week away from the release of the last installment of "The Hobbit" book series, "The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies" is still plagued with spoilers left and right. Could there be anything else to surprise moviegoers once they watch the movie? Hopefully, yes. 

There's a bunch of spoilers that leaked recently due to a retailer releasing the artbook "The Battle of the Five Armies" a month before the movie's release. The art and design book contains quite a number of major spoilers. Even though the copies are already kept off the shelves now, there are already people who got their hands on it. 

Do be warned, these are major spoilers for the movie. But like always, take every spoiler with a grain of salt. Nothing is confirmed until the movie is released. 

According to OneRing.net, spoilers say that Tauriel will not die despite the rumors, but Kili will die to save Tauriel from orc chieftain Bolg. Legolas will hurt the antagonist by hurling his sword at him, and Bolg will be pinned on a Ravenhill wall.

Azog will behead Fili and will throw the dwarf's corpse at Thorin's feet, which will make the King Under the Mountain furious. This will result to Thorin killing Azog, but not without being severely injured in the fight. Walking back from the fight, Beorn saves him.

Sauron will use the Nenya ring and this will make the fight very powerful. But the rumor of Dol Goldur collapsing will not happen. Then there are the giant worms digging tunnels under the battlefield, which will pave the way for orcs to come out from different directions.

Radagast will not die. Gandalf will learn what happens if Smaug isn't killed. Meanwhile, Sauron will reveal that he will join Smaug's forces.

Bard will fulfill his calling and he will kill Smaug, but not with his wind lance. He will throw the black arrow using the limbs of the wind lance bow that he will balance on his son's shoulders.

Again, take the spoilers with a grain of salt. The material for the book may be a little different from the movie due to the difference in release dates.

"The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies" will hit theaters on Dec. 17. In the meantime, this is the clip between Bilbo and Gandalf as well as a clip from the battle.
