How to kill a non-organic titan
« on: April 25, 2013, 01:57:40 am »

I need some help here.  My awesome Captain America character has just found an enemy that he cannot out punch, something not even his iron shield can damage.  The titan in question was made of some sort of stone, had four horns, was a quadruped, etc.  The only "damage" I inflicted on it was when I threw some skeletons at it, which fractured the thing, but it didn't actually impair it in any way.  It can still walk, run and kick my ass.  I have a speed of around 1700, so I can easily run circles around it, but it also spits frozen extract, which, thanks to my guy's speed, shield skill and impressive amount of armor, has not been able to touch me. 

But, I'm at an impasse.  Blows to the head ( using an elf skeleton ), which fractured everything, was not able to kill this monster. Literally everything that I can target is yellowed out. Would I be able to decapitate it?  Should I hire soldiers to do my dirty work for me?  I could use some advice here.

Most inorganic creatures can be killed if you try to sever its head, assuming you can get your hands on a "sharp knife" and the creature itself is not made out of platinum.

Of course, if the creature is a blob, hopefully you can lure it to magma. If it is magmaproof, leave.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

A pick is what you'll need. They're quite hard to obtain, but sometimes one can find them from warehouses, keeps and castles. Pick kills most non-organic things, especially one made from stone.

Managed to hightail it to a fortress, grab an iron halberd, and race back.  I found that I could chip the beast's bones, which actually did something, it made it go prone when its legs got busted.  Eventually, I managed to decapitate it. 

Thanks for the advice guys.  This is, without a doubt, the most high profile target I have ever taken out, by myself using a hero-level adventurer.  Should I lock the thread now?

Nah. Now you should retire him temporarily, build a fortress, breach HFS, abandon, then visit with your adventurer and exterminate everyone. Bonus points for doing it without bluemetal assistance.

Lightsabers picks will do.
Also, why don't we start calling the bluemetal "teal steel" instead?

(dunno why, though)

try scratching it and biting it in the ankle. Most of the time you glance off or get deflected, but i've seen punches and bites go through steel armor before so it'll eventually work.

If you don't know, you don't need to know. >.> Dig deeper, all I'm saying.
