I cannot give more hints, because you even don't need them. And one thing I can provide you with to make the guessing easier for you, perhaps to save you some time. Here is the list of already posted answers which are not correct:

Ancalagon (Gil-Galad)
Aragorn (Gil-Galad)
Boromir (Gil-Galad)
the Dark Door, the entrance ot the Paths of the Dead (The Might)
Draugluin (The Might)
Durin's Bane (Shards of Narsil)
Frodo (Gil-Galad)
Girdle of Melian (mhagain)
Gurthang (mhagain)
King of the Dead (The Might)
Luthien's Hair Addressing The Two Remaining Silmarils In The Iron Crown (mhagain)
Maeglin (Gil-Galad)
The Mines of Moria (mhagain)
Morgoth (Shards of Narsil)
The Mouth of Sauron (mhagain)
the Nazgul (Gil-Galad)
the Ring (mhagain, later Thenamir)
Sauron (Gil-Galad)
the secret tunnel in the Lonely Mountain (The Might)
Túrin (The Might)
Ungoliant (The Might)
the Witch-King (The Might, later Gil-Galad)

Then:
1. I want you to post explanation of all the lines to be sure you just don't shoot randomly, since you could then send seven random guesses in one post, and this in my opinion is not the point of this riddling. I want to know you are not random guessing but you are posting because you know.
2. Sending the explanation, I am quite SURE, wouldn't be a problem for the person who stumbles upon the correct answer - since he/she could verify whether all the lines fit (I think TM might tell you about that from earlier riddles).
3. Try to look back in this thread, at the earlier stages of guessing this riddle. It seems to me your thoughts headed better way and you had generally more constructive thoughts there, I think.

That's all for now.
