Alright, we my turn is over. Here is the save file.

Dikbut's log:
-------
Wasn't sure the save was even going to boot.
FPS 0
"Bear-de-den" seemed an appropriate starting place for my character.
We're using DFhack, but not to make our lives easier.
Foraging the neighbor's yards for blueberries. Luckily, they grow this time of season.
We started the game with a training montage over at one of the elven forest retreats nearby, to improve our hammer skill.
Haven't actually been down one of these in premium yet, I'm hopeful it'll work out.
He's just mad because both evolution and the pixel portrait artist hates him.
Our skills before going in to the fight.
And it was at this point that I realized I had been running through the whole maze, and that I forgot to turn "run" back down to walk. My character is completely exhausted.
We leave, pick up a buddy, come back - and WALK through the labyrinth this time.
Manage to flank him from both sides, Cor isn't doing so hot. Barely any armor skill, but they're serving their purpose as a distraction.
Just when you think he's out, with his legs broken and F'd up, Cor comes back and lands a crippling blow on the minotaur's arm.
Ultimately, the taur goes down, and the kill is etched upon my mangled honey bee wax jagged artifact maul.
Speaking of the maul artifact, this is it. And we allowed it to get mangled before naming it.
I decide to hit up another beast, after carrying Cor and the minotaur's corpse back to town to show off to all the locals. And uhh... I definitely picked the wrong place. The plan/gimmick was to kill a dragon with a honey bee wax maul. NOT ONE OF THESE. I'm not even sure I can damage it with this thing?
After a literal hour IRL, I decide we needed a new strategy. And after checking with DFhack, it turns out I had yet to inflict any tissue damage, ANY TISSUE DAMAGE, at all to this guy! Using a bee wax hammer was getting me no where. Maybe if I got to legendary skill? Wasn't clear if I would last that long. So the plan now was to try getting it into a pool. (I fell in several times, instead, and got occasionally whacked/walloped during that process.)
Thought he would fall in there this time.
My skills now.
No idea whats going on here, it looks like it has something to do with the tree branches above us, they push the colossus down in certain spots (me as well) but I can use this to my advantage, since it doesn't appear to path around these spots.
Two hours now - IRL
Fucjkla.
Finally.
A toe.
At this point, I still wasn't able to 'ding' the bronze chuckle fuck in the slightest with the honey bee wax maul. The only way to hurt the bronze colossus was going to be with his own body. The only way to get the kill, would be to drop em' from somewhere high up, repeatedly. Again, again, until it was done. So I dodged, and I ran, and I scurried up the tallest and most maneuverable thing in the shrine area I could climb.
And the big man followed.This was very dangerous work, in case you were wondering how my character was handling all of this.
Several screenshots from this process: 3 hours
Another combat log - 4 hours
I have no idea how long this is going to take, but I can't afford this much time. We need to start moving this along - so I bust out DFhack to teleport him up, let me swipe him, and then let him drop. We're two tiles away from the top of the skybox during this process. And if you think this actually sped things up, you'd be wrong.
Another screenshot
After almost two hours of teleport - swipe - drop, this is their health condition. They've lost a couple fingers and like a toe. I actually kept the toe, and used it as a weapon for awhile after this.
Finally. FINALLY it goes down. I store the statue in my backpack after naming it as an artifact, and use it later to beat up some monk later who spits at me.
Store it at a nearby human town.
Sadly, legends did not give the kill to the honey bee wax weapon. - Instead, it insists that I "threw" the colossus. Alas. At least we killed a minotaur with it.
Chaos ensues at this point. I think we took over a town. And I spawned a bunch of boogey men, and made them the leaders of the new town government and became their hearth person.
I boot up the save again, just one more time and make a new character. Legends states the character is human, but I'm not
too sure about that. He also uses twin pair of meat cleavers, one made from dragon bone named "gluttony", and the other made of dragon tooth named "surprise."
We have Big Boo-Boo accompany our trepid new protagonist. And woah. He doesn't just want honey anymore, he
needs it.
First adventure we happen upon an unguarded roc's nest.
Then we proceeded to take over a nearby town in the southern continent, and then surgically attached the roc inside of the blizzard man after ensuring it would hatch after a certain amount of time. And then I ended my turn. Banana Fresh Jr.'s little capuchin monkey Mr. Bitey gets killed in the process. It was very sad. Now it lives on inside the heart of the blizzard man, as food, because e' ate em'.
The End.
