<P> Enkidu's interpretation is missing here, but as with the other dreams, it is assumed he puts a positive spin on the volcanic dream . The fourth dream is missing, but Enkidu again tells Gilgamesh that the dream portends success in the upcoming battle . The fifth dream is also missing . </P> <P> At the entrance to the Cedar Forest, Gilgamesh begins to quake with fear; he prays to Shamash, reminding him that he had promised Ninsun that he would be safe . Shamash calls down from heaven, ordering him to enter the forest because Humbaba is not wearing all his armor . The demon Humbaba wears seven coats of armor, but now he is only wearing one, so he is particularly vulnerable . Enkidu loses his courage and turns back; Gilgamesh falls on him and they have a great fight . Hearing the crash of their fighting, Humbaba comes stalking out of the Cedar Forest to challenge the intruders . A large part of the tablet is missing here . On the one part of the tablet still remaining, Gilgamesh convinces Enkidu that they should stand together against the demon . </P> <P> Gilgamesh and Enkidu enter the gloriously beautiful Cedar Forest and begin to cut down the trees . Hearing the sound, Humbaba comes roaring up to them and warns them off . Enkidu shouts at Humbaba that the two of them are much stronger than the demon, but Humbaba, who knows Gilgamesh is a king, taunts the king for taking orders from a nobody like Enkidu . Turning his face into a hideous mask, Humbaba begins to threaten the pair, and Gilgamesh runs and hides . Enkidu shouts at Gilgamesh, inspiring him with courage, and Gilgamesh appears from hiding and the two begin their epic battle with Humbaba . Shamash intrudes on the battle, helping the pair, and Humbaba is defeated . On his knees, with Gilgamesh's sword at his throat, Humbaba begs for his life and offers Gilgamesh all the trees in the forest and his eternal servitude . While Gilgamesh is thinking this over, Enkidu intervenes, telling Gilgamesh to kill Humbaba before any of the gods arrive and stop him from doing so . Should he kill Humbaba, he will achieve widespread fame for all the times to come . Gilgamesh, with a great sweep of his sword, removes Humbaba's head . But before he dies, Humbaba screams out a curse on Enkidu: "Of you two, may Enkidu not live the longer, may Enkidu not find any peace in this world!" Soon later Enkidu becomes sick and dies . </P> <P> Gilgamesh and Enkidu cut down the cedar forest and in particular the tallest of the cedar trees to make a great cedar gate for the city of Nippur . They build a raft out of the cedar and float down the Euphrates to their city . </P>
