Megabeast ran away from Lair.
« on: February 11, 2012, 10:48:28 am »
Hello!

So, I was fighting a Bronze Colossus on Dwarf Fortress with Genesis and It was way to tough for me to kill, so I ran off to get some reinforcement meat shields for it to beat on while I stabbed it, anyway, I returned later on in the day to find that it had ran away, I literally could not find it anywhere, and I've been back around six times already, even waited inside of its lair for a whole two days.

It's not dead, otherwise the quest would've finished, and It's nowhere to be found around the lair...

Is there any way to find out where it has gone? I checked on legends and it says nothing about it getting killed or moving away, but I just can't seem to find it anywhere.  :-\

Cheers.

From experience, creatures that own a lair go out and roam the nearby areas, they often return later on, usually near night and such.

Maybe...wait there for it, or go on another quest for the moment. Try to craft something in the meantime as you are using Genesis.

Do not wait in its lair. Go to nearest town, wait couple of days, and then came back. I think monsters will never came back if you are waiting for them.

Its not that they can't come back, but its that if you sleep its more likely that they kill you when you are sleeping  :P

Heh, I was waiting for a couple of days in a nearby town, went off to do some other quests actually... I still haven't seen this bronze colossus though, I hope I didn't scare it away :<

Hey, maybe the bronze colossus knows what'll happen if it stays.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

I think linking to Tvtropes should be a bannable offense.

I have shit to do, GreatWyrmGold!
