Bronze Colossus Question
Got myself a bronze colossus invading my base but it seems to go through my animal traps without being caught, am I missing something?

Giant colossus not being trapped in trap for small animals... how strange...

Full megabeasts are unaffected by most traps. Most of the time.

Big boys dont get trapped easily, you'll have to try either fighting it, locking up, or devising a different solution

Ahh and here I was reading the wiki like it was as simple as placing a trap down and waiting for it to walk over it.

It's been cited as a solution to many threads over the years, not to sure what you mean.

Ahh I think I figured it out, there is a separate item under traps literally called cage trap.

If worse comes to worse: make a squad and arm them all with pickaxes. they'll do in a pinch, and are surprisingly effective against metallic monsters.

those don't work either lmao

You need to do something specific to make them vulnerable to cage traps and it's a ♥♥♥♥♥ and a half to do on its own, not even including actually getting them to step on it.

Cage trap definitely works against Bronze Colossus. I captured him myself and moved to the pit.

kill it and you will get an expensive bronze statue! it was a hard fight but i took one down recently. They soak a lot of damage up and most traps wont work on them. goodluck

You're thinking Bronze Titian my dude, entirely different creature.
Cage traps work just fine on bronze colossus.
