Buff the Barbarian to the gills so he's Colossal and immune to most conditions

Then, grab the popcorn, and start playing assorted music from numerous Mecha movies and series. Track one is the Pacific Rim theme, crits automatically get Shining Finger theme.

The only way we know how: Fields up, knives out and guns blazing.

For most games, a giant monster that is minutes away from ending the world is the final boss you hope you never have to fight.

But for Eva pilots, this is Tuesday.

We're in Rogue Trader, so vast quantities of orbital firepower, and if that doesn't work pay someone else to do it.

In any grounded/above average quality story telling environment, honestly, you can't defeat it.

If your party is so bad they couldn't avoid this outcome you deserve what has come your way, if you were put in this bullshit situation by a terrible storyteller, bullshit your way out of it without engaging in combat, this includes for example.

A)Escaping through a dimensional rift to a mirror universe that diverts from yours at this very point in time, and therefore is outside the entities dominion.

B) Accepting faith and creating your own secluded reality within the confinement of the entity you are part of now.

C)Immunity, fuck it, because of some Deus Ex Machina your entire party is unaffected by the entities influence.

Either way the world around you is done for.

Charge it with an oversized weapon until everything fades into dark and the trailer ends
>>
A mix of hitting it real hard and our gadget guy finding a way to zap it into the Phantom Zone or whatever.
We're a superhero team; while that sort of enemy is certainly pretty intimidating and a high-level threat to us, a giant city-wrecking monster is hardly completely out of our power range at this point.

Is your DM...you know, special? Ride the short bus? Or did you suck them off under the table to have this much bullshit happen?
Or maybe I'm just falling for one of the infamous 'shit that never happened' stories people inexplicably post.
If so, fuck, I guess you baited me.

We'd destroy it with the power of friendship.

Don't forget that it could also summon another Hecatoncheires.

ghost-eating technique takes care of that, easily.

>>44463879
Same way we killed the last cosmic horror.

Torture the nascant diety we have trapped in an inter-dimensional pain cage until it unleashes a gamma ray burst, and then focus it, and direct the resulting beam of reality searing nuclear hellfire at whatever needs to die with no questions asked.

Turns out that when you get right down to it, most all creatures, eldritch or otherwise, have a weakness to obliteration of the local reality around them.

>>44463879
Don't know. We don't plan, we just sort of hurl ourselves bodily at the problem until it fixes itself. Hasn't failed us yet, so let's start with that.

Run screaming to every Consilium who would hear them, warning them of the threat, trying to cobble together a small army of Willworkers who would help them enact a ludicrously large ritual to banish the abomination from the world.

>How would your party kill this?
Our necromancer chants The Mirrored Soul Curse and uses himself and the whole party as sacrifices.In effect their souls are warped and travel back in time. Posses their younger selfs granting them knowledge of Shiva and the time he would appear..

Character sheet check: Character age

For every year of their new life under the mirrored soul curse they roll a 20 sided die.Whoever rolls a 1 goes mad from the mirrored soul in his body.
Madness is added to this character and he rolls on the madness table.Once a madness is rolled for The Mirrored Soul Curse is lifted.

A character who did not go mad must roll for the curse until his death.

Depending on the characters they will each have to roll up to a different age to become ready to adventure again.Characters personal stories must be checked for limiters.When all party members are of an age that can go on adventures they all gather up.They all know one another already and have a new quest.To find how to stop Shiva.
