I have defeated the mighty bronze colossus!

Where by "defeated," I mean, "if I lure it into jumping into a murky pool after me, it stops moving apparently forever."

Le Gasp! The animating force of a bronze colossus is water-soluble! Quick, flood the entire planet!

[Max White]

Iton: Ready, Urist?
Urist: Lets do it then.

*Both put keys in keyhole*

*Pulls down big lever*

Iton: Just like the old days...
Urist: Aye, that it it, although water does seem a little less impressive.

*World starts to flood with water*

Urist: So what do you think this will do to the local carp population?
Iton:...What have we done?!?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Iton and Urist: Oh great Armok, whom's blood soaked form strikes fear into your enemies, what shall we do!?

Armok remains silent

Iton: Damn it!


Seriously though, I think The Great Toad has fixed carp, so your fear is unfounded.

I have tested bronze colossi against a reasonably skilled dwarf in full adamantine and a slade two handed sword, he killed 4 bronze colossi before dying when 3 decided to beat him over the head and rip his face off bit by bits untill he bled to death (seriously, they gouged out his eyes and ripped off his eyelids and lips).

Now do it WITHOUT use of a forbidden material.

Slade can not be used in fortress mode, so hats no good, and so far adventure mode hasn't given me any.

Adamantine works too, but it must be a bladed weapon. A slade maul can break every part on a bronze colossus's body and he'll keep attacking.

Too bad it lost it's hands so quick.  Try grappling an enemy's head with one of your hands as a Colossus and pinch it.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen adamantine weapons work against them.

It's weird as hell that slade works, since the stuff is almost 10 times as heavy as platinum, and about 25 times as heavy as iron (which is itself a bit heavier than steel, I guess). Dwarves being able to even lift something made out of that is weird, never mind being able to successfully wield it in the form of a large weapon.

[Iban]

Toady most likely implemented weapon weight. Weight causes a crushing damage which would destroy the collosus. The slender Adamantite weapons can cut, but they wont work against something made of bronze. They are easy to wave about and can turn elves into deli meat, but the same cant be said about the Collosi.

I bet you money that if you spawn a Dwarf with two hammers he will do a number..

[Olith McHuman]

What if you were to wield the corpse of a very massive creature? Some corpses weigh as much as 4500. Platinum warhammers, by comparison, only weigh 8. I've tried this as a dwarf, but the weight of the corpse means that the bc gets extra attacks and seems to make it harder for me to dodge (Is this new? If so, then awesome).

[RandomNumberGenerator]

A Legendary Fighter/Axedwarf/Armor User/Shield User/Dodger/Wrestler Dwarf with Full Steel Plate and a Steel Battleaxe can take a Bronze colossus on, 1-on-1, and 'win'(reducing the colossus to all red, arms/feet lopped off, while sustaining no injuries). Actually killing the colossus is a different matter, since they just won't die unless you melt them.

[Karlito]

I had an adventurer almost kill a colossus today. I could damage it with a maul if he was prone, and I blocked 99.9% of his attacks. Eventually I hit him so much that he had all red wounds, no usable hands, and he could even stand up anymore. Of course, he didn't bleed and felt no pain, so I'm not sure if he was any closer to death than at full health. Eventually, he pushed (yes, not hit, not attacked, but PUSHED) my guy in the head, shattering my poor adventurer's skull.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I attempted to use a all grand master dwarf with total slade armor use a whale shark body (Largest size of any creature) to beat a skilless bronze colossus to death. It didn't exactly work out, due to the horrible death thing without a lick of harm to the colossus.

[Iban]

Perhaps we should stick to weapons.
