How would you run an encounter with a truly titanic creature? No matter how strong your resident murderhobos are, the mountain sized kaiju won't give a shit about being plinked with measly fireballs or poked by tiny greatswords.

If if had my BBEG intentionally wake one up, send it to the party's home town, and give them a week to prepare, what would TG suggest they do to combat it?

A magical field that generates realistic physics.

Awaken an even bigger titan to fight it.

Anon you're a genius

Grow a fighty party member to a similarly gigantic size to fight it.

Get a similarly sized titanic creature (that's neutral or friendly) to fight the titanic creature.

Build a titanic weapon capable of dealing damage to the titanic creature.

Deal damage with a number of small but powerful weapons, such as explosives, all over it.

Use a small but powerful weapon on a critical weak point.

Overwhelming force of some kind.

It takes a good guy with a kaiju to stop a bad guy with a kaiju

Go find a giant, then have him climb the titan Shadow of the Collosus style, just at a way bigger scale
>>
>>48083468
Just use a level appropriate Barbarian, it can't have more than a few thousand hp so a few rounds tops.

To fight monsters, they would have to create monsters of their own.

Fly down its throat and start indescriminately slashing at shit

>>48083468
A grown man can be killed by enough insects.

Enough adventurers hacking and throwing fireballs at it should do it.
>>
>>48083468

Dig a very large hole. Have monster get leg caught in hole. The bigger they are, the harder they fall!

Also works on tanks if you ever find yourself facing an M1A1 as a party of D&D murderhobos. Use the environment against them.
>>
>>48083468
Let gravity do its work.
>>
>>48083468
Depending on the size possibly treat it more as a dungeon than a monster. However if for whatever reason that's improbable the remaining options are roughly, hit it with something really big, and possibly flammable, use traps and capture it with chain/rope, or poison the thing.
>>
>>48083468
Why not just use death magic? Fireballs are dangerous because they burn people, but that won't stop a mountain-sized creature. Just spam "save or die" spells until it works.
>>
Hit it with aids
>>
>>48083468
True Polymorph into dragon.
Convince real dragons to aid you.
Go for the eyes.

Summon the aid and favours of others.
And an equally as large titan.

Climb on it, and surgically remove its eyes.
Imagine a spider falls on you. Now, imagine it has three friends. Now, imagine that all of them are specifically and intentionally going to remove your eyes.

That's where you need to pull Save or Die that doesn't care about size or hitpoints of the damn thing.

Oh please, let me.

You know that thing how ants can carry like 20 times their own bodyweight, or how a cricket can fall 500x its own height and be unharmed?

Well it works the other way too. The more material you have, the more the weight and mass of that material strains its own durability. The bigger a creature gets, the more easily it could injure itself or be injured simply by its own size and weight while moving, and the less power relative to its size that it can exert. So a 700 foot tall cricket would rip itself in half if it tried to hop, whereas you can drop a carpenter ant out of a plane and it may well survive the fall.

>>48089548
It's also why a real life elephant can only drop a foot or two without injury. Any more than that, and it would shatter its bones.
