Does it take a special sword to kill Tyltran? How are you supposed to get to him? I had to tunnel through a wall to get to the antechamber to his room and then couldn't get in the carpenter's door to kill him. The door and walls were warded. I tried to go up a floor and through his ceiling. I worked down from the ceiling and blocked him into a corner away from the door. I had a gap under the barricade where I could stand without getting hit but when I hit him with my sword there was no damage and he apparently didn't even notice me. And then I had to load in a backup to get out of the room because I couldn't place any blocks to make stairs or pillar up. What am I doing wrong? I don't remember it being so difficult to kill him when I played last time.
One other thing: Can you use spawners to make a mob trap in the Shire? I collected one spawner each of zombies, skeletons, spiders, and endermen.
