Death of the Witch King - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

If, as in the book, the lord of the Nazgul is (partly) slain by a blade of westernesse that came from the barrow, how then will he be slain in the film since the barrow downs were excluded from the fellowship?<P>I say partly because it was also down to Eowyn that the Witch King was slain. However, if in the movie the Witch King is slain wholly by a non-magical blade wielded by Eowyn I will be dissapointed as it would be too easy an end to such a powerful being.<P>Does anyone have any suggestions as to how the Witch King will be slain without the inclusion of a powerful sword of the west of old?
