Something that I always talk with a friend of mine of how there is one simple Servant that could destroy Gilgamesh even without being as old as him: Cú Chulainn. And, of course, Scathach.

Gae Bolg is a powerful Noble Phantasm because it affect the destiny itself. When Cú Chulainn (and probably Scathach too) activate the Gae Bolg, first the effect happen ("strike in the heart") and then the cause ("the route traveled by the spear"). As long as there is one little way toward the enemy's heart, the spear will hit it. This can only be avoided by a high Luck atribute (Artoria) or an omnidirectional defense (like God's hand).

Cú Chulainn survival skills are high enough that he fighted against Gilgamesh twelves hours restlessly. In fact I think he didn't won that fight because he had a lot of cons against him (in example, Kirei ordered him to not fight with all his might in the war, just to scout and weaken enemies) and because his main objetive was to buy time to Emiya and the others.

I really think Lancelot Berserker would be able to kill Gilgamesh but only if he had a better Master, someone capable of giving him enough mana and unleash his fullpower. The reason? Lancelot's NP can counter more or less Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon (taking every treasure launched at him and that would make the treasure HIS Noble Phantasm, just like he did in Fate/Zero against the Gate of Babylon assault https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVLuwjATjxA ). This would happen for a simple reason: Gilgamesh is an idiot when we talk about fighting capabilities. He is very powerful, but his own ego is the reason why he lose every important fight. He never fight with 100% his power until the very end, when it's already too late. Only against Iskandar he fighted as a real warrior.

So against Lancelot he would be like "you are just a dog, I'm not going to use all my power", while Lancelot WILL be fight with all his power. And Lancelot is one of the most powerful knights of the Round Table, if I remember correctly. Not the MOST powerful, but one of the most.

It's important to remember something: something great about Fate is how the fight isn't really decided by how OP is a Servant. Even a simple Servant can destroy a powerful one just because he use a better strategy or because the way his NP works have advantage against the OP one. Just look at how Angra Mainyu coupled with Bazett is a monster, just because they have a strategy together.
