2. How Do They Stop The Night King?

There are 100,000 wights. 100 White Walkers. But there's only one Night King, and if the heroes can kill him, they can - as far as we know - end this entire war. But how exactly can they do it?

We've not really seen the Night King enter the fray yet. He killed a dragon with a spear and we've seen him raise the dead, but we still don't know just how powerful he truly is. Presumably, he's stronger and much harder to kill than a regular ol' White Walker, and that's IF he can be killed at all. Is he impervious to dragonglass and Valyrian steel? Is he a great warrior? As long as the Night King lives, this war can go on, but stopping him isn't going to be a remotely easy task.
