Tarrasque Tips

If you're one of my players.. shoo!








Well... I've gone and done it... I'm tossing a tarrasque at my players in two sessions. The decision was made mostly on the "wouldn't it be cool" scale, not the properly thinking things out scale. They're 18th level right now, and will probably be 19th when they face the creature, possibly 20th.

The next session I intended to be a hint dropping session... they'll likely head to some nearby monasteries and other repositories of information and in return for tasks, they'll get the info they need. Herein lies the problem... what information should I give them? What tactics are good for taking down a tarrasque (considering that even when I was a player, I never faced one)?

They'll have a wide array of resources available, except for an army (the army is busy fighting the bad guy that woke up the beast). Any useful tactics or spells? I want to scare the pee out of them, but I definitely don't want a TPK (they don't know this :) ).

We recently talked about a whole lot of anti-tarrasque tactics.

Check out this thread.

In summary, if they have access to wish/miracle (or planar ally or better) and use smart tactics, they should kill it pretty handily.
 

I still think that my idea of throwing a bunch of delayed blast Xballs into it's mouth to go off all at once was a great idea.

Okay, when I read the thread title, I thought, "Tarrasque tips? Like steak tips? In a nice BBQ sauce...."
 

It could feed an entire village for a long time, what with its regeneration and all.

Well, a village where everyone has the aberrant feat, Scavenging Gullet, at least.
 

Well, so much for my plan of awakening the monster, and then diplomacying it into being friendly.

Any other spells that could work to do the same thing?
