How do you kill a dragon?

How do you kill a dragon?

Depends on the setting.
A sharp object stabbed into a soft spot usually works, though.

Extensive use of the Benny Hill theme and player shenanigans that shouldn't work but do.

Punch it in the anus.

Aim for the eyes or the part of it's body that isn't in a scaly hide, they tend to revert to feral beasts when they're actually threatened outright.

Barring that, extreme head trauma causing internal bleeding, or poisoning the beast through it's food.

With kindness

What if it's a Bad Dragon? They're into that.

With another dragon.

wait for gravity to crush its bones for being too big

Something like pic related

Super glue their butt plug in so their oviposition backs up and they burst.

Stab them, right in the balls.

Now, finding the dragon balls, that's the real challenge

A halfling covered in flasks of sovereign glue and a sign saying eat me.

By seducing it and turning it into a housewife

The dragon is dead
Long live the woman

By Abandon all delusions of control

Snakes.
Venom from the most dangerous snakes is extremely potent- it shouldn't take much milking to get enough to give a dragon a lethal dose, and then it only takes one brave man with a specially made hypodermic weapon. Hell, if you were really brave you could do it from inside the dragon's stomach.

You marry it. Declare that is dead. Then live a nice quite life with your dragon waifu or husbando in silence fulfilling the eternal Human and Dragon are always in heat problem our species has.

Vast quantities of hellfire.

Fuck, you beat me to it.

An obsidian tipped spear, into their heart. The essence of dragons is fire and darkness. Only something made of the same can pierce their hide. Mundane weapons are totally useless against them, and even magic can would them but never kill them.

Someone post El Lucha story right now.

You use the pointy end of the sword.

Hit it enough times to reduce its HP to 0.

I think we would try violence. It's usually a good option for killing something until it's dead.

This one?

I've always wondered if "I am ... a lucha!!!" was a mistake and he was meaning to shout Luchador, or if he really did shout "I AM A FIGHT!" (or struggle / battle) which is cool in its own way.

Best answer

One arrow to the belly usually does the trick.

Biplane. AP rounds.

Well that dragon was clearly murdered by a high level druid

Lots of reach weapons and armor piercing weapons, preferably both

This dragon is obviously going to kill a bunch of people, so catching it with high ground on your side is going to be really helpful like in a ravine or near a cliff.

Most arrows probably won't have much effect on the dragon's main body, but could be used to fuck up their wings maybe, so I would go for that
If it manages to take to the air, you're is a really bad spot, so nets and other means of entanglement would come in handy

What if instead we Understand the concept of love?

In my setting, dragons are just ordinary animals whose main motivations are to find food and mates. They've become rare in number as humans have been systematically hunting them down for centuries. Farmers in Dragon-plagued regions do their part by hiding their herds in large, underground shelters (such as deep caves or purpose-built bunkers).

Usually, adventurers and soldiers just wait until a dragon goes to sleep (which is how animals such as alligators conserve energy when food is currently scarce). The hunters then either spear them, suffocate them with smoke, get them to breathe in lethal gas, or chuck poison into their mouths. Otherwise, marshals just assemble A LOT of skilled ballista operators in important forts/towns at high risk of dragon attack.

Most dragons that die in my setting die of disease or starvation. Very few are actually killed in direct confrontations with humans.

First, we kill the Batman.

You don't kill a demi-god, flying, intelligent, magic-wielding 10-stories-tall monstrosity made of basalt and molten rock.

Mostly because you don't have the firepower to do so.

Drive it to depression.

Multiple drones with heavy weapons, a team with a rocket launcher, all things considered it's not that hard.

The dragon itself isn't scary. The megacorp it owns, however...

Grigori, please wear the ring...

I disagree.

It's not even about the firepower. If such a thing were to exist and predate man, then man would never have been allowed to develop far enough to threaten it.

Very Carefully

Shut the fuck up.

Remove scales with lightning and a piercing weapon then stab repeatedly.

WORST SWORD EVER. Its like a dagger as heavy as a halberd

That's a spear.

It's a gigantic spear.

I always found it funny how large and thick the blade is, even if it makes sense given that he had to pierce dragons with super speed charges and still have a weapon afterwards.

It's only silly when you bring it down to the scale of regular-ish humanoids. When fighting a regular Everlasting Dragon, it probably looks "sufficient" at best.

Dragons are dragons because humans can't kill them.

I always loved the whole "Everything used to be super rad as shit and was more powerful in the past, but everything also gets worse with age" trope, but I'm still pretty bummed that we'll never actually see those full scale conflicts.

This is one thing I felt Dark Souls 2 did decently, but could have done better with. We got to see a few glimpses of the old conflicts, and man were they fucked.

Sorry Last* Giant

Yeah. I get that 2 is generally considered the worst, but I still can't bring myself to dislike it. They were all great for different reasons.

by screaming at it, then jumping on its neck and bashing it repeatedly over the head.

2 had Looking Glass Knight, the coolest dude ever

Fire and darkness have no part in the creation of obsidian.

Of every way I've played a souls game, outside of bloodborne's "teleports behind you", this was my favorite build.

Even if it's considered "The worst", if every other game is amazing, that still means it had to face fierce competition. I'd agree that it may be the worst in terms of purity, but it was still a very, very fun adventure.

I had to think about that one for a second, you fucking madman genius you.

Dragons are not killed, they are slain.

It takes a knight and an army. The army will weaken the dragon while the knight manages the finishing blow.

The toxicity of the blood of a dragon will sicken and even kill all involved, and permanently taint the land around it.

By shooting at it until it dies.

Rape

Is that a mod/wad? I don't remember seeing that dragon in Hexen.

I've heard stabbing then where the wings join the body is a good idea.

With the Potion Seller's™ strongest potions hurr-hurr-hurr!

What's wrong, friend?

What if it's a green dragon?

You wake up in the forest and start all over again.

Dexterity Damage. Seriously.

It still has the best PVP tho

We tricked a black dragon to follow us into a windmill once and ignited the grain dust and collapsed it on him. Cost our dwarf bard his life (his plan) and we kinda ruined the village with the big lizard chasing us through houses and streets.

Hell yes it does.

Manslayer+5 for the win.

Venom and poison are two different things my man.
Venom HAS to be injected into something veins. If Venom is consumed its just digested and rendered harmless.
Poison is what your thinking of.

And most of the time weapons that are caught with natural poisons like arrow frogs or spider venom are not used to outright KILL the target just to slow them down enough for the hunter to catch up.

Heavy artillery. Double load your cannon and bombards with powder and grapeshot or chainshot, angle them as high as tou can and fire into the dragons path. Fill the sky with fire and iron and hope you either drive it off or cripple a wing. If you manage that, put round shot into the founded beast until it stops moving.

We had a voracious mess of a dragon that just kept eating and eating, even to its own detriment. So we basically baited the thing into town, and fed it stacks of poisoned foods. Like, literally tens of thousands of gold worth of carefully prepared food, where the overwhelming amount of spices and salts were enough that it couldn't detect the trace poisons, and it just consumed enough that it fell extremely ill. It didn't die on the spot, but a few days later, it just collapsed because it was too weak to acquire other means of food.

I'd stick my peepee in it!

I threw my horse like a club. It created a sonic boom that ruptured space and exploded the sun.
