Edit: nm. didn't see the flier tag.

Hmm... wonder if an atom smasher would work?

Or perhaps trap him in a tall room and have a fort full of archers shoot him from all directions from multiple z levels?

Atom smasher: no. I think it's immune same as HFS. (can't remember what tag does that exactly)

According to the wiki, it's having a [SIZE:] larger than 10 (or being vermin, which apparently phase right through the bridge) that makes things immune. This fella's [SIZE:200], so...

Lock your dwarves into your fort from the outside world once it is self-sustainable. Survive a really long time until your dwarves breed enough to have 100+ dwarves. Get them all to be legendary shield users/wrestlers/axedwarfs. Equip them all with adamantine weapons/armor/shields. Once the avatar arrives, unleash any war animals you have onto it to keep it distracted for long enough for your 100+ dwarves to close into combat with it. Hopefully a few of them will get critical hits with their axes and cut off a few limbs. Most of them will definately die, but by using raw numbers, that should even the odds.

Try to make sure all/most of your dwarves "don't care about anything anymore", as to help to avoid the massively dangerous tantrum spirals that will be performed by legendary adamantine equipped champions. This will most likely end your fort, but if it succeeds, you killed the avatar of a god.

Wait... magma vision?
is that like some sort of buffed up lazer vision
but instead of shooting lazers out of its eyes it shoots MAGMA?

uh... ba... wa?

It can see through magma, instead of having magma block it's vision

Anyway, I think the problem of how has already been answered.   Someone must now do.  It's getting late where I am, though.

Not sure where they are anymore, but Ender Goblins were much tougher than this. They used a metal specific to them that had a 700 point value for armor and weapons compared to the.. 100? of adamantine. They had a DAMBLOCK of 50+. They had the tag that let them get the attributes, like Tough and Strong. They were monsters in all ways. And they were slaughtered.

Or I know! Fight the avatar over an enclosed chasm or pit with archers all along the side and survive until it gets tired and falls asleep. It may just fall unconscious into the chasm. I mean, I once had an uninjured giant fall asleep while fighting my dwarves.

[Amalgam]

I like Flying Carcass' idea but I think it'd be more likely to dodge off the edge

[Derakon]

Does dodging arrows cause exertion? And do overexerted fliers stop flying? If so, then Flying Carcass's idea should work...of course, it wouldn't get you a corpse to show off.

[Flying Carcass]

Hmm... pit filled with adamantine spikes?

[Spartan 117]

Only one way.

A massive line of ballistae, combined with a zerg rush of 100+ war dogs and tamed giant eagles.

[Amalgam]

Someone should find a way to route the avatar to some clowns on an HFS map and make a movie recording the results. Actually, routing any megabeast to them sounds like a clever way to take care of that particular problem... Or at least some of it.

Considering that the avatar has [NOEXERT], I don't think that would be a viable tactic.

[Dorf3000]

This isn't a thread about how to kill this beast it is about actually killing the beast and posting a screenshot

Ah, but solving the problem theoretically is much more satisfying than dealing with the irritating problems of actually doing it for real, like tantrumming dwarves or having the creature appear too early/not at all.  Such is life.

Plus, screenshots can be faked, the successful method can't

Suggestion:

Wait until one with grievous worldgen injuries arrives.

[Yuck]

I has done it!
