[Zammer990]

My current adventurer is a legendary swordsman necromancer, in a world with seemingly no steel, and only a lone colossus for megabeasts. I've had a few skirmishes, trying to kill it, but currently the best weapon I can find is an iron two handed sword. I tried throwing a hoard of zombies at it with little effect, and the most my sword can do is fracture (yellow injury).
Any suggestions on the best way of killing it, excluding making a fortress, as I;m not sure if any dwarf civs survived worldgen? Raise a large animal? throw fluffy wamblers?

Unfortunately fluffy wamblers lack [GRASP] tags and I don't think they can be reanimated OR giant sized, because the obvious answer then would be giant zombie wamblers wielding vorpalfluffy wamblers.

I killed one by throwing unicorns at it. Zombie unicorns.

Try use iron great axe or iron spear. If you are denting it, you will hurt him badly after a while. Or lure him into water.... This is his weak point.

Keep hitting it in the upper and lower body.  Damage accumulates now, so eventually you will lope off enough to kill it.  You may also choose to kneecap it first, but that kind of implies you can bisect it.


conversely, start a fort and make some steel weapons.

I just checked; a dwarf civ did survive worldgen, so I'm probably going to quickly embark with all the steel making equipment I need, then have my adventurer visit.

EDIT:Forged full armour and weapons, forgot I'm a human, so derp.
Still 3 shot the colossus though, got a nice statue of a puffin.

Used a silver whip last time, those are easy to find.
