So I have found my first forgotten beast, in a cavern, what should I do to defeat him? I might soon have adamantine weapons and armor, but what are some good tactics i could use?

"A great hairy lizard. It has thin wings of stretched skin and it squirms and fidgets. beware its Poisonous Sting!

Help much?

Give a bunch of dwarves axes and armor and send them at it. Alternatively, drop the ceiling on its head, although that's no fun.

Dig(Don't finish connecting it to the cavern till you are ready) a separate entry into the caverns, 3 tiles wide and 3Z levels tall. On the lowest Z level build a support in the middle of the area you want to kill the FB in, link it to a level in your meeting area. Then build a bunch of floors above the support(Make sure they are NOT connected to the side walls, or the cave in won't work). Use a low skill miner you don't care TOO much about losing to finish the path to the caverns, and if you can time it right, pull the lever AFTER he is out of the kill zone. As long as the FB gets hit by the falling floors, it WILL die.

Someone more knowledgeable than me can confirm whether FBs can be stunned by cave in dust, if so, lay cage traps around the cave in area to catch it if you fail to kill it.

FBs can't be stunned. The only way to catch one in a trap is to have GCS webbing on top of it (the trap).

Ah, I wasn't sure if that was FBs or just clowns. Thanks for the clarification.
