A bronze colossus doesn't even really have tissues, never mind organs or anything that can get poisoned, so that wouldn't work.

Poisen with a less reactive metallic oxide and make him rust to death?

This reminds me of the time last version that I modded BC'es to be 10 or 100 times the usual size, so they'd survive world gen.

However, I either forgot to change them back or it doesn't matter if you change them after world gen, and I had one visit. He absolutely tore everything up, including multiple reclaim parties. At one point, he broke down a door holding back some magma, and melted his feet (but nothing else; I was really hoping it would kill him). I wound up with a lumbering monstrosity that would instantly throw creatures across several screens to their doom. It was actually pretty fun.

Anyway, I'm thinking I may mod their speed to be super slow to offset their being death personified, and to make them a more interesting challenge.

Also, has anyone tried a ballista bolt to the face yet? Those used to be pretty destructive last version; has that changed?

It's entirely possible to kill a BC.

Spawn one against 5 legendary humans on a team using Slade Two-handers.

Go on, I'll wait.

What workshop do I use to spawn humans, and how do I make weapon out a slade?

It would be really helpful right now because I have a BC trapped in a room missing all its limbs and still will not die!

[G-Flex]

He's talking about Arena Mode. Slade isn't even usable during actual gameplay.

The point is that it takes a two-handed sword made out of a material almost ten times as dense as platinum in order to kill them.

*Facepalm*

I'm going to pretend you didn't totally miss the sarcasm.

So your saying that the only way to kill it is using something not found in game? Well that's handy!

[G-Flex]

Ah, sorry. I wasn't sure if it was sarcasm, because, well, I've talked to people who I can imagine saying that and meaning it.


You might also be able to kill them using ballista bolts (I have no idea about this, and if possible it would probably require a very lucky shot), or by somehow melting them.

[Max White]

Meh, could set up a firing range, but that requires some sort of effort and distracts from my current project of farming underground critters, as for lava, ITS 150 Z LEVELS DOWN! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PUMPING THAT TAKES! I don't have the mandwarf power!

Not at all.  It's found in the game just fine if you dig enough.  It's just unusable.

[Max White]

You have managed to find slade, but that doesn't mean there is a slade sword in the game. Unless you meant you plan on throwing slade stones at him, you have yet to find something that can kill a BC.

[G-Flex]

You can't throw slade stones either, because (aside from this one mysterious bug situation that I don't yet understand) you can't even mine the stuff. It's not intended to be usable or diggable in any way.

[Max White]

Well I was taking the mining bug into effect, but apart from that, there might as well not even BE slade, so if were looking for an effective method of BC slaying, it should avoid use of this mythical stone.

Would prefer not to use siege devices as well, due to adventure mode and all.

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

It's not mythical.  It just can't be used.  It can't be designated to be mined or anything.

Unicorns are mythical, but that doesn't stop me from making totems out of there skulls!
