How exactly are you supposed to beat pic related without magic?

>>52219053
By acquiring 40k technology.

Or launching it into the void. It has no way of really moving through space, so it just floats for all eternity.

>>52219053
A hole and/or cliff.

>>52219053
Use a force more powerful than any magic. Namely, Plot.

Or use alchemy to manufacture gunpowder, ammunitions, explosives, and large weapons of mass destruction and aircraft to air raid the tarrasque.

Final option, climb upon the back of the beast and target sensitive weakpoints until you kill the beast of nature, and as you gaze upon the massive corpse you've created, wonder to yourself on who is truly the villain in this situation.

Don't you literally have to cast Wish to kill it? So you can't.

Unless you define "beating" it as just driving it off or trapping it somehow. I remember an old thread about a city that based its economy on mining the regenerating, unconscious body of a Tarrasque. (link: https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?261519-Necro-Staff-Pick-D-amp-Dish-The-city-built-around-the-tarrasque)

Also, this thread had some thoughts: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/15760526/

It can drown, which keeps it permanently unconscious for as long as it's submerged, so the easiest way would be to lure it onto a bridge or boardwalk over a deep lake or ocean and then collapse the structure. A problem of logistics and engineering, but by no means impossible.

when's down at 1 eternal hp for suffocation you could set up a massive siege weapon out of his prison to deal the last points of damage when he breaks out.

Caesar would kill him.

Back when I ran 3.5 I had a reputation for setting up situations where PCs had to use their heads as opposed to simply combat in order to get out of tough situations.

So I threw one of them at them when they were all around 6-7 and gave them absolutely no hints as to what they were supposed to do.

They spent 3 sessions running from it across half the kingdom that they were in, while it tore every region they had been through for the last 6 levels to shreds. Eventually they made it back to the capital of the area. Still had no clue what to do. It took a whole session for one of them to bother actually using his distant relation to the royalty in the area to get the military to help out. Several hundred level 5 fighters make a joke of the thing.

Plot probably does work. I mean, it's got the force of the DM's assent behind it, and the DM technically has absolute power over everything within the reality of the game (except the wills of the player characters).

>>52221304

I love scenarios where the players need to think outside their character sheets, both as a GM and as a player.

>Damage immunities :

So you can't win without magic.
Even making it fall from a cliff would only be a minor inconvenience
>At the end of a fall, a creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it fell, to a maximum of 20d6

The Tarrasque basically slips, crashes in the ground, shakes its ugly head and searches a way back up.

>>52221304
Assuming each level 5 fighter has no magical equipment, 20 strength and some way to attack it with a greatsword at once, the tarrasque has enough armor class where they would need to roll a natural 20 to hit. However because it has DR 15/epic most of them will need to roll a second 20 to confirm the crit, or get above average on their damage roll, to do any damage at all.
Even if somehow there are enough of them to eat through its 800 or so hitpoints before it regenerates any damage they do there would still need to be a person capable of casting wish to keep it down.

>>52230908
I feel like it would need more than half it's body intact to heal itself.

So we need ammunition the caliber of at least half the size of the monster.

>>52222632
And one level 10 bard.

>>52230941
Even If the tarrasque is reduced to ash and has -10,000 hit points it will heal from the largest ash and begin rampagin again once it's 40 HP/turn brings it back to positive HP.

>Use a force more powerful than any magic. Namely, Plot.

>>52219053
IIRC you straight up cant. You drop it to zero hit points and then have to wish it dead. If you don't have a wish then it regenerates.

It only has like ~500 hit points. A high-level raging barbarian with power attack and good strength can do a hundred to a couple hundred damage in a round. You can kill the tarrasque with a plain ol' sword with some moderate optimization of a middling-tier class.

When people say "plot," they typically mean deus ex machina: immersion-shattering events that are probably mandatory for the story to progress in the direction the author wants in spite of the situation he has gotten his characters in.

Not to be confused with PLOT.

>>52234563
When people say plot, they usually do mean a contrivance, but the contrivance that they usually speak about is one geared towards circumstances set up by the hero, or the hero themselves being a special chosen one. A random happenstance that happens and resolves a situation immediately that was predictable by nobody isn't what normal people would call a plot.

>Attain immortality
>Construct a weapon that will never break
>Attack Terrasque
>Eventually it will die from exhaustion

Couldn't a couple of iron golems working together, armed with cannons, couldn't they subdue the beast?

>>52234678
The hero being a special chosen one is what allows random happenstances to befall his foes.

>>52234994
Him being the hero isn't a random happenstance. There was guaranteed to be a hero from the beginning, and the story merely follows this hero. The happenstance that isn't predictable by anyone are acts of god, or Deus Ex Machina.

>>52235009
I'm saying that because he is the hero, his enemies are bound to fail, anyways. They can't kill him, it'd end the story.

Maybe there's a sinkhole forming nearby and the tarrasque's fat ass breaks it, causing him to fall in. If he's fat enough, maybe to the center of the planet. That'd kill him.

>>52234559
You're forgetting the fact that it can't actually die
