Also, the tarrasque isnt an evolved creature, they were created by the gods to be weapons and were simply made with spikes, they did not form them over time

100 orcs vs 1 tarrsque

The orcs usually win (because there a so many)

When the art is scarier than the monster. 

Art: 150ft tall Godzilla titan of destruction. RUN! 

Statblock: 20ftx20ft moderately difficult encounter for a competent level 15-20 party and a mild annoyance for a nation's full military.  

This thing is a town-destroyer, not a world-ender and certainly it's no God-Killer.

I was gaming this out a bit, and level 20 Monks are actually kind of insane vs a Tarrasque. Resistance to everything except Force which isn't a problem here. Bite attack they deflect and take no damage. They resist against 2 claw attacks and take 28 average damage that round. Eating a Monk would actually be the worst thing the Tarrasque could do, as they'd resist the Acid damage down to 28 and then likely completely deflect the remaining damage while being otherwise safe.

Being level 20 and fighting a Tarrasque I'd assume +3 unarmed wraps are available, giving the level 20 Monk a +16 to hit. That's a 60% chance to hit assuming they aren't restrained. Assuming 24 Dexterity and the +3 wraps with 5 attacks that's 82.5 Force Damage per round * .6 = 49.5 average DPR against the Tarrasque. That obviously dips once they're eaten, but that dip is fine considering they're also not or at least rarely taking any damage while eaten.

There are obviously a lot of other factors at play, like does the Paladin Shining Smite to further increase DPR? Does the Monk have a Blood Fury Tattoo? Variables will come into play and not everything will work out, but an end game Monk is extremely solid here.

 This is actually true, I playtested this.

 The humble magic resistance and legendary resistance. But no seriously, nowhere does it say Wish can destroy any monster, it doesn’t state it and no dm worth their salt would allow you to cheese an encounter just because you spent a 9th level spell on it, if Meteor Swarm can’t destroy something, then Wish certainly ain’t.

I don't get why people are arguing about how strong monsters are or how they need to be stronger. Monsters are given stat blocks so players can fight and kill them.

Hey, it now straight up *resists* your most common attacks now, and it also now has a ton better saves, plus, RAW isn't the only way to play this. Let it throw debris, and that archer is *gone*

no horn? no frightening presence? not immune to non magical slashing/piercing/bludgeoning? 4 attacks instead of 5 ? still no regeneration?

sure it can swallow as a bonus action and has 21 more hp and is faster but still....

Underwhelming CR 30 overall in my opinion

Get one archer flying with a longbow and its the easiest kill there is

 

It burrows underground in response...

 So the great god killing creature is completely helpless against anything with wings and a bow. Every God should be able to fly, someone explain how this thing was able to hunt them??? for that matter, if all it takes to chase it off is like 100 flying archers, how the hell does this thing collapse entire kingdoms? Give it regeneration and suddenly it no longer cares about those pesky mosquitos. 

 My friend, you have bigger problems once it's underground, since now it's going to be a shit ton harder to deal with it, and it can simply go under all your defenses and destroy your city from the inside out now. This thing is now a ******* menace.

theres a few answers to this, but either the tarrasque never evolved, it was created by the primordials as a weapon against the gods, or that the tarrasque is from a planet called falx full of other tarrasques

Can you use world shaking movement with jump?

 A lot of what you said is accurate, but one point of correction. Monks cant deflect the acid damage since its not an attack roll.

A level 19 Twilight Cleric could easily solo a Tarrasque. Max Wisdom and Constitution, have Warcaster and Resilient Constitution. Take Boon of the Night Spirit at level 19 and get the Twilight Sanctuary up.

Allow the Tarrasque to swallow you (half damage on the bite attack from the boon, but this doesn't really matter) then cast Spirit Guardians at 8th level (keeps Mass Heal free if you really need it). Even with no DC boosting item the expected value from 8d8 is approximately 21.645 once odds to pass/fail the saving throw are considered. Divide the Tarrasque's HP by this expected value and it dies in about 32 rounds, or just over three minutes.

The acid damage averages at 56, halved to 28 because of the epic boon. The Twilight Sanctuary will average 22.5 temp hp, so sound down and call it 22. The cleric takes a net loss of just 6hp per round. The saving throw for concentration averages a DC of 14. With Warcaster, Resilient Con and no other stat boosting items the cleric has a con save of +11. On average it will take 100 saving throws before the cleric rolls either double nat 1's or the two possible 1 and 2 combinations, so odds are they're not dropping concentration.

Spirit Guardians lasts ten minutes so the 32 round average to kill the Tarrasque isn't an issue. At this level they have four uses of their channel divinity so can just use another when one runs out. They also have all the necessary healing spells they need to keep themselves topped up if necessary.

If using a 9th level slot for Spirit Guardians the Tarrasque is dead in 29 rounds.

A 19th level cleric is of course very strong in their own right. I just find it funny that it's actually safer for the cleric instead the stomach than it is outside getting clawed at.

Edit: It will actually be quicker if you've picked up a melee based cantrip like chill touch from magic initiate from your background as you can use your action to chip away as well. You'll miss a lot of attack rolls because of being blinded so rolling with disadvantage, but a few would get through and knock a few rounds off.

That is RAW. See Improvised Weapons.

I was making a rhetorical point.

But since we're digging into it—you are incorrect. You assert that Wish can only defeat enemies that can be defeated by Meteor Swarm, but the Rules do not require that. Wish is a way to "cheese an encounter" as you put it, and the contours of its abilities are explicitly detailed in the spell's description. The spell reads, "You may wish for something not included in any of the other effects." Wishing for the Tarrasque to be gone is "something not included in [the] other effects." The only mandatory limit on the Wish spell is as follows, "If your wish would undo the multiverse itself, threaten the City of Sigil, or affect the Lady of Pain in any way, you see an image of her in your mind for a moment; she shakes her head, and your wish fails." The Tarrasque is not mentioned there.

"[N]o [DM] worth their salt would allow . . . " has no bearing on whether or not the Wish spell can defeat the Tarrasque. You cannot police other tables, and the rules of the Wish spell explicitly leaves the result of the Wish to the DM to determine. A DM could rule that the Wish has no effect, or a DM could give effect to the player's Wish. Either way, you mischaracterize the nature of Wish and presuppose that all DMs will share your perspective that defeating the Tarrasque via the Wish spell simply cannot be allowed. Even if most DMs share your position, you cannot universalize your belief or present it as an actual limitation of the spell.

Also, Legendary Resistance and Magic Resistance have no effect on the Wish spell.

 “This spell might simply fail, the effect you desire might be achieved only in part, or you might suffer an unforeseen consequence as a result of how you worded the wish. For example, wishing that a villain were dead might propel you forward in time to a period when that villain is no longer alive, effectively removing you from the game.” - Wish

And since the Tarrasque is ageless, this will be at minimum thousands of years or until the heat death of the universe. If being level 17 means you instantly destroy any and all threats, then why does level 18, 19 and 20 matter? Just wish Tiamat, mother of all dragons to never exist, wish that you're the one and only god of your respective world, that’s technically not the multiverse nor does it tread on the Lady of Pain's territory. Why don’t everyone wish their problems away then?

 Plane shift (the spell that works as close as possible to that intent) has a Charisma Saving Throw, so you still need to actually fight the thing, it only works as a finisher, not as a one shot at the start of combat. Overpowered implies that something is too strong, but if Wish requires you to burn through all its saving throws and have it fail its Charisma save, that sounds fairer than whatever you assumed.
