During the Fall of Gondolin, he and Tuor made their way into the square of the King. Previously in the siege, Ecthelion had fought and slain three Balrogs, but lost the use of his shield arm in the process. Then Gothmog, lord of Balrogs, arrived. He and Ecthelion fought in an epic duel, where Ecthelion lost the use of his sword arm as well. Unarmed but determined, he heroically leaped up, weaponless, into the Lord of Balrogs, driving his helmet's spike deep into the demon's torso. He then wrapped his legs around Gothmog, and with all his strength, plunged him deep into the Fountain of Gondolin. There, the flame of Gothmog was extinguished, but Ecthelion, weighed down by his heavy armour, also drowned. In the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, the Fall of Gondolin is the name of one of the original Lost Tales which formed the basis for a section in his later work, The Silmarillion. ...
