How can i kill a bronze collosus?
« on: June 27, 2010, 05:09:14 am »

I have been duelling with this thing far away from any traveling roads in the snowy mountain beaks with my bronze axe, neither of us have landed a hit on each other, mine always clance away.

Get some meat shields, while the colossus is pounding one to death you have to get behind him and get a lucky shot to the head! Alternatively, you could try throwing something at it?

The whole place is lifeless for miles, i tried throwing snow but in won't help.

I am now a legendary thrower and legendary in most things but still none of us has damaged the other. This has gone on for a day now.

If the water in teh area thaws there is a surefire method.
Lure it onto a pond/river before it thaws.
BAM - it thaws, they're in the water.
then get to shore without getting murdered.
Then wait for it to freeze again.
Collect statue from bottom of river.
profit!

No water, we are at the top of a blizzardy mountain.

This fight went on for 2 days till it ried to escape, but it clinged on to me so i got 2 map tiles away and started igniting trees, I finally died of thirst.

I would suggest making an adamantine colossus with blade-arms and using that to kill it.

Yes. I could not kil my bronze gollems let alone the colossus.(I made the golems. smaller version of the collosus). You should be able to wrestle it and break its body parts. An axe is good for slicing the body parts off and is the only way you can KILL it but a hammer wil make its WND screen go ALL red.

I've found that a masterwork adamantine two-handed sword is big enough to cut off a bronze colossus's head; a masterwork adamantine long sword is only enough to cut off the arms and feet (not legs). Good luck finding one, though...

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
