It's all semantics. What is the final blow? Was it incapacitating him so that his finger could be cut off or was it killing him? Because if it was killing him then nobody accomplished that on our list but Abercrombie would be correct and it would be Gollum. Now if the final blow is defined as making it so he could be temporarily destroyed then Gil-Galad or Elendil because they were the two that incapacitated him.
