      I assume that since D&D canonically has souls, this wouldn't work. Only one half would inhabit the creature's soul and grow back and the other half would stay dead.

      I have a plan to perma-kill the tarrasque. Defeat the tarrasque, remove its stomach, convert it into a flesh golem. Keep stuffing chunks into the stomach golem until it is dead. Since the stomach is now a golem, it does not become a tarrasque.

      3. use move earh at the highest level to insantly move lots of earth directly underneath it, above it.
      4. it falls, taking loads of damage, then loads of earth falling on it for double that damage,
      5. its now dead and trapped in the earth.
      6. if its limbs are destroyed, they cant grow back because the earth is in the way.

      But...
      This thing dies so rarely that finding a dwarf or dwarves with any knowledge whatsoever of what the fuck those scales are or what to do with them should itself be an entire campaign. Properly, you should take the components, IF you knew what all to harvest, to a major dwarven city, earn the trust of their king or queen, do 10 quests to earn the favor of their smithing guild so they even look at the remains, then they, and you participate in a 5 day ritual of drugs, liquid mithril, and ecstatic prayer to Moradin to determine how to forge the scales, and THEN the shields get made, with maybe a dozen skill checks required to make them, and at the end, if it was successful, they keep one shield, you get bathed in goat milk by a gaggle of dwarven tit mistresses and given home, title, and a spouse in the hold, and a holiday named after you.

    I do have to contradict one point. In The Forgotten Realms of Fearun, yes there is only one. In Ebberon, there is only one. It seems in each crystal sphere there is only one of these guys but in the spelljammer setting there is actually a planet with multiple Tarrasque that many theorize is the homeworld of these monstrosities. Now, that just creates more questions if it is true but there is certainly more than one in the mutliverse. Still great video and I love that detail of the diamonds beneath its shell.

      Tl:dr we have a regenerating monster whose armor grows into a new member of its species woth the armor wearer inside, which could easily happen with tarrasque armor
      So basically, theres this big dragon monster called fatalis, hes the strongest monster in the series, with some striking similarities to the tarrasque now that i think about it. But one of those similarities is the whole regeneration thing. Theres this piece of lore that pretty much states that anyone who wears armor made from a fatalis will have ot regenerate all over them, drovong them insane and eventually getting sealed inside the armor. Once someone is sealed in the armor fully, the person disappears and a new fatalis pops up a few days later.

    Game Idea: A party of lvl 20 adventurers have found the secrets to slaying the Tarrasque. This party goes around as heroes and always seems to know where the Tarrasque spawns because of their unique scrying abilities created by one of 2 of their lvl 20 wizards (some sort of op ritual exists that only they know about (supposedly)). Your party (the one you're dming for) learns that they aren't actually scrying but instead wishing in the next place that it will regenerate/ pop up on the surface. In this way they use the Tarrasque to farm hella money and hecka amounts of prestige but at the cost of millions and millions of lives, with the risk that one day they might not be able to defeat the Tarrasque. The party you're dming for then has to wish for the regeneration to stop, defeat the party of lvl 20 adventurers and then get rid of the Tarrasque permanently. (Could be a one-shot of lvl 20 party that found this out based on some insane guy theory crafting about the scrying abilities (make it some sort of nerdy yet low level wizard that sounds crazy but actually makes perfect sense) and then go from there) (OR you could have this be a starting point in a random campaign and then once the party reaches level 20 you bring up for the 2000th time that the Tarrasque slaying party has killed them yet again in some other place when suddenly they're stopped by a recurring NPC who acts like the theory crafting guy in the first point).

    One of my favorite stories from a DM is that one player spent almost the whole campaign being very focused in meditations and a spell he was trying to learn. When they encountered the terrasque, the beast began to charge and the player started an incantation. Just before the beast got to the party, a giant portal opened up to another dimension and it couldn’t stop itself before plummeting into the portal being banished to another dimension.

    • @dizzydial8081

      I heard a similar version.
      A party entered a colosseum type game and rolled a tarrasque fight. The party was allowed a magical item of their choosing. One wizard chose a candle (forgot what candle, probably magic candle?). As the tarrasque charged, the wizard lit both sides of the candle and opened up a gate where the tarrasque stopped, only sticking its head in up to its neck. Then the wizard snuffed out the candle and the gate closed, chopping the head clean off.
      I suspect this scenario is just a fabulous story to tell people and not actually something that happened.

And tusk act 4 uses an attack that may do infinate damage but still needs to hit its opponents to activate, and the tarasques skin is reflective to many spells that shoot similarly to the infinate rotation. So really Johnny cannot activate his power and giorno cannot hurt the tarasque enough to do more damage than it’s regeneration effect. Kars can turn into any creature that exists naturally but the tarasque isn’t really natural, it would be like saying he can turn into celestials, devils and demons, they are living things but they aren’t really from the same dimension so they wouldn’t really count as things he can transform into.

    I literally watched this video because I recently started playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and like to learn the lore of games I play BUT I’ve been a huge fan of DotA 2 for the longest and noticed the name of Tarrasque so I thought I watch this.
    The fact you mention DotA’s “Heart of Tarrasque” is SO cool to me considering how rare it seems for DotA 2 to get any recognition. And when built on certain heroes, it really does make you feel like an immortal beast. Just don’t go into a 1v5 fight unless you know what you’re doing.
    I personally love building Heart of Tarrasque on Position 3 Earthshaker. His second ability “Enchant Totem” will increase your next right-click attack by 400% at max level but only your BASE damage so items providing bonus damage aren’t taken into account but damage gained from your primary stat, Strength, is and Heart of Tarrasque provides +45 Strength. Add that along with other high Strength items and Daedalus and you can literally one-shot enemy heroes.
    The satisfaction of seeing your enemy’s health bar turn completely white is sublime. Just walk around and delete some sorry support out of the game. 😂

    Nicely done.
    The only times I've seen a GM use this beast in game (I'm talking about home games, not modules or anything) was as a kind of walking catastrophe. The whole point wasn't to defeat the creature at all, merely to evacuate innocents and save everything they could; the way in which the beast moved was very simply to walk in a straight line, snatching up everything in reach. Sort of like a slow moving landslide, or maybe a walking F5 tornado, was the way she described it.
    This same GM implied that there was a single Tarrasque in the entire multiverse: not just the planet, the whole cosmos! That would probably stretch out the space between incidents on specific worlds - or not...
    I think she also decided to describe the creature's hibernation as taking place (effectively at least) in an extradimensional space. The particular incident of its arrival in her game was triggered by some idiot evil wizard managing to summon it (she didn't explain HOW) which of course woke it up, and it was somewhat annoyed...and promptly ate the wizard. Then stayed up a while for a snack...

    Thanks again my friend. I've always enjoyed hearing about the Tarrasque. Sure, there's multiple ways to kill it, especially since it has no ranged attack but I like the idea for a campaign that has it as the BBEG at or near the end. It's a lot of fun doing prep work to set up for the confrontation.
    You might even have the opportunity to establish the hiring of an Ancient Dragon that can essentially circle above it and nuke it from orbit. That quest ( or similar type) could be as much fun as the battle itself! (keeping in mind that speed is of the essence, since it's eating people while you are in prep mode, heh).

      You'd need to feed it three goodberries, which would buy you a grace period of three days while it slept. Otherwise, it won't go to sleep because it hasn't gotten enough food to rest on.

      Karthas' Avatar is the name, I think. Either a 12th or 13th level spell, (don't recall which, but I'm pretty sure its 13th level.) The full details aren't understood, but it required a gold dragon's gizzard, tarrasque blood, and the bile of a 12 headed hydra, among other rare components. Once prepared, the caster can take the divinity of a god, for a short period of time, with a snap.
      It's also known as Karsas' Folly, because it got him killed, along with the goddess of magic. (He is now a vestige you can make a pact with as a warlock, known as the Red Stone. He is a patron to alien mind warlocks in 5e, I think.)
      The new goddess has changed the weave so it's impossible to cast, and sent his research notes on a journey to the end of the universe... *allegedly.*
