During the Siege of Gondor, Pippin witnessed Denethor preparing a pyre in the Hallows for himself and an unconscious Faramir. While in Minas Tirith, Pippin befriended Beregond, a fellow Guard of the Citadel, his son Bergil and Faramir, Boromir's younger brother.

When a company of the Rohirrim ambushed the Uruk-hai, Pippin and Merry were able to escape into Fangorn Forest, where they meet the Ent Treebeard. On their way to Isengard, Pippin dropped the Elven-brooch he received from Lothlórien, as a sign for Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, who were in pursuit. The two hobbits were taken away by the Uruk-hai, mistaking them to be the Ring-bearer. It incurred Gandalf's wrath, and he called Pippin a 'fool of a Took.'
