To Kill a Collusus...
« on: July 24, 2012, 06:07:24 pm »

So I'll set the scene first..
My newest Adventurer with a few bandit kills to his name is bumbling along in fast travel, When a message "You have discovered a shrine" pops up , I'm thinking great! a titan, how fun! expecting a blob or snail or something.
Yeaaaaaaaahhhhh.... topic title, I've bumped into a collusus. My first one. he has punched my companions into oblivion and tryed chasing my adventurer about.
SO i eye up some steel bolts and silver ones and start lobbing them at him. I have managed to fracture and cut open EVERY single part of him but he isnt dieing :'(

any ideas? i'm still strolling about throwing bolts at him along with anything else such as corpses (they dent..), I have no armor nor any melee weapon better han my copper longsword?

May have to Death or glory charge him and just stab him with the bolts.....

You gotta remove the head or destroy the brain, it's the only way.

Recruit as many companions as possible, while they are distracting it, sneak up on it and aim for the head, nothing else.

You need a fluffy wambler. As has been shown many times before, only it's pudge is strong enough to penetrate a bronze colossus's armor. :P

In my experience you can kill a BC only with steel weapons. Iron might work too, but it will take forever. They make great sparring partners though. After 3 days of fighting I got lots of skills and stats up to legendary and superdwarven.

If you get lucky, you can kill one with other things.

That was a few versions ago. Sadly fluffy wamblers are a lot less lethal now.
