I easily killed one of these with a brand new dwarf adventurer. It was slow, and never hit me. They are tough and can take a lot of beating; I killed it by crushing its ribs into its lungs and it slowly suffocated. Took awhile, because I kept hitting the heads and necks to little effect. Any confirmation on its difficulty? Tallyho 06:11, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- It should be harder, as multiple heads can attack in one turn, if you were watching One F Jef's live stream, you would have seen how much damage it can do in only one turn. --Tarran
- I'm hearing reports of other megabeasts like dragons also being very easy to defeat in adventurer mode. I expect there is a bug involved. -- Tallyho 03:11, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
- It's because adventurers tend to have higher skills then the average idiot that the megabeasts wander into during world gen. It's suicide to go against a dragon without a shield but if you have one and the requisite shield skill even mildly raised then you're usually pretty well off. Try fighting a dragon without a shield some time and you'll see what I mean.
