Magma, the solution to all dwarven problems, is also effective against bronze colossuses. It may take an extremely long time to melt one unless large amounts of magma are used however. A tamed [[Dragon]] can also be quite effective, since a colossus can be melted with dragonfire, which is also much faster than small amounts of magma. Freezing in water, solidifying in obsidian, and cave-ins are also effective tactics. | Magma, the solution to all dwarven problems, is also effective against bronze colossuses.
