So my adventure character is about to go fight a Bronze Colossus. Is there anything I should know or do before I go to fight? My character is an Axeman, who is fairly good at ambushing if that helps.

Might be different, this is adventure the other one is dwarf mode. Its two completely different strategies. – Zdrok Feb 8 '12 at 17:08
@Zdrok Yeah I saw that, but many of the suggestions involved pouring lava on him, or just use a highly trained dwarf army. Both of which I cannot do. – Jdc1197 Feb 8 '12 at 17:50

Almost certainly you want to throw things at him. Throwing is kinda weird; it doesn't usually do a ton of damage but it's extremely high variance. There is one well-documented case of an adventurer killing a bronze colossus by decapitating it with a thrown fluffy wambler; obviously this is pretty unlikely but throwing rocks at it will eventually kill it.

Getting into melee with a bronze colossus is much less random... and that's bad for you, because the BC is many times your size and strength. You're probably faster though so just stay away.

Said Fluffy er... Wambling of the Colossus happened before the combat rewrite, however. – Raven Dreamer♦ Feb 8 '12 at 20:19
@Raven Dreamer Yes, that's true. Using actual weapon-like objects should still at least cause cumulative damage, though, which I know affects colossi. I never said this would be a fast strategy, just relatively safe. – Paul Z Feb 8 '12 at 20:23
