Why can't I kill this thing?
« on: September 14, 2011, 11:41:14 am »

Recently I have generated a world full of titans, so far my adventurer and his veteran companions have killed plenty of em. But there is one that can't be killed, despite numerous injuries it won't bleed to death.

Here is the descpription of the titan: " Inen Orozsit,  A towering scaly leech. It has thin wings of stretched skin and it has a reagal bearing. Its emerald scales are large and overlapping. Beware it's fire!"

Why is this titan so extremely durable and tougher than other titans I have fought against ( including the ones made of minerals and jewels)?

It might be a bit larger than the rest. I am not sure how genned creatures , and titans, work, but i know that larger creatures tend to take more time to bleed to death.

You are going for headshots, am i right? If that is not working right, then try attacking the neck or chest. Suffocate it that way.

Thats the problem, it doesn't have a head nor a brain. It's composed of four limb; 2 wings, upper body and lowerbody. At best my near legendary adventurer can only dent it's scales. I have recruited more companions, lets see if this helps...

Not an easy task, so far the worst damage it suffered was "tearing the scale" and it's quite fast. Oh yeah it died it was quite anticlimatic, an lasher bruised its brain with an silver whip and... it died.

Idea was beased on what seems to happen to most of the FB's that my fort inhabitants encounter when they cant be killed by more mundane means.

I once had a fire-breathing coal titan set himself on fire trying to attack a new migrant cave-fishing dwarf. Now that's anti-climatic.
