Yeah, aside from the numerous armies lost, includijg dwarves and elves, ~1000 years of fighting, it took two literal kings dying to defeat him, Gil-galad and Elendil. But, Sauron was also defated. In the end, Isildur showed up and chopped off his finger and took the ring.
I never finished the Silmarillion, but from a synopsis I read, he was defeated first, then the ring was cut from his hand.

“gg2ez” - Isildur
Gil-Galad and Elendil both being Big Fuckin Deals btw, particularly Gil-Galad.
Keeping in mind that a lot of First Age/Second Age stuff is less a matter of crude physicality and more about spiritual strength.
Okay, thanks
