Ecthelion slew two dragons and three Balrogs before facing Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, whilst he was on the verge of death. Swordless, he plunged his helm-spike into Gothmog and drowned him in a fountain.

Mighty are the deeds of Ecthelion, and you honor him with an image clearly from the first age!

Didn't Feanor fend off 3 of them at the same time along with a large number of Orcs while chasing down Morgoth? IIRC, the way he died was he bled out after his fellows caught up to him a long while later at which time he was still fighting.

Is it not a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt for so small a thing?
