how do we know a flaming sword would kill him? Serious question
He's undead and that's their greatest weakness. Plus it would bring the Hound full circle on his courage and what his brother did to him. The Mountain will get two karmic deaths: one for what he did to Elia and her children, and the other for what he did to his brother.
I still laugh my arse off every time I read what Pycelle says about the Mountain's fate after his battle with Oberyn:
quote:
The flesh mortifies and the wounds ooze pus. Even maggots will not touch such foulness. His convulsions are so violent that I have had to gag him to prevent him from biting off his own tongue. I have cut away as much tissue as I dare, and treated the rot with boiling wine and bread mold, to no avail. The veins in his arms are turning black. When I leeched him, all the leeches died.

What I see in the shows is that the Night King's wights are vulnerable to fire if they're dried up and withered, and they burn like straw. And they burn the dead so there's only ashes, not bodies to reanimate.
The Mountain isn't a blue-eyed wight, he isn't all dried up, and your description
quote:describe him as rather ripe and juicy, doesn't sound like he'd burn easily.

He's big enough to take a few hacks from a blade, and I would guess he's even less susceptible to pain now. I don't think a flaming sword cuts him down like a lightsaber, and nobody can afford to trade blows with him, not even the Hound.
