The biggest problem with BCs, honestly, isn't all their doom!flags or their bronze skin -- though those definitely contribute -- it's the oh-so-tiny fact that they're roughly three hundred times larger than your average dwarf. 333 and some decimals times larger, to be more precise. 20000000 vs 60000. So yeah. They're colossal, yanno. Which is why they squish tiny people. Tiny people being everything else.

The flags and the skin just make them go from being freaking ridiculous monstrosities to world-destroying unkillable monstrosities. Is Fun thing, ya.

Maybe if you could get together a troupe of three hundred dwarvish acrobat/axe lords and have them stand on each others shoulders, you'd have a better chance against them. Probably not, though.

You need a sword that can detect the colossi's weak points to defeat them.

They may not breathe, but whatever animates them seems to be water-soluable. Get them underwater and they will never move again.

Actually, they simply can't swim. Makes sense being made of solid bronze. Depending on if they still sever on breaks you can pin a BC in a pool and then break it's limbs off at leisure. Still can't kill it though.

LOl what if joint locks on the neck were possible? Imagine the glitch where you break a BCs neck and his neck comes off yet his head is somhoe still attatched.

[Rumrusher]

can happen I say if you are going to mod them try making them peacefully overpower creatures.
so that at least there is something that can counter the other over power non modifiable creatures.

Y'know, I thought about this. Talos was a bronze colossus, and he had a nail in his foot that was his weakpoint since it kept his blood inside him.

But these things are over three hundred times the size of a dwarf, so is it really a weakpoint if it can be used to crush the little insects trying to pull it out?

Just add [JOINT] to the neck in the raws, and fatality away.

[Dbuhos]

Well, they are hard to kill indeed. They are like boss enemies, somewhat. It's fun to be chased by one, especially when his strikes get all glanced away, blocked by your shield. I ran 10 minutes from a colossus till I noticed that he doesn't go away. So I had to give up to starvation with my legendary alligator killer.

Bronze Colossi would be cool if they had a weak point like a heart gem like a Zelda-style boss.

It seems that the first myth about a Bronze Colossi involved it having a nail imbedded in its right ankle that would de-animate it if removed.

[Pathos]

The callous bronzed heads of my forebears sit upon the mantlepiece, watching me, judging me. Their features are stern, strong, hawk-like in their intense and predacious gaze. They see me as a weak creature of flesh, not capable of standing up to their bronze might.

Soon I will show them.

Soon I will be steel.

[Vester]

In the current version, that makes you pretty much invincible.

They can learn to swim though, and if they do they have a respectable 2500 swim speed.

[Frumple]

Nah, base-line colossi can't learn anything, much less swimming. Now, if you mod them to CAN_LEARN, they can pick it up, but a learning colossus's sudden ability to swim is probably its least terrifying aspect. Multi-legendary BCs are vaguely hilarious, in the 'everything in a ten-mile radius is in pieces' sorta' way.

You figure it out :p.

Yea, they're a real bitch. There only weakness is magma/lava and slate hammers.

[Frumple]

And long drops. Cave-ins. Being hacked at with steel+ by something their own size (sometimes). Dragons.

And...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

it's slade

not slate.

You're going to have some poor fool with an artifact slate hammer get squished... which may have been your intention, I guess. It would be pretty funny.
