DM gave me a scroll of Wish and 84,000 gp, with no more than 30% being spent on a single item. The stats I have to work with are fairly high 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, and 13. All WotC material is usable. Two flaws and two traits allowed.
The basic idea I had was for a Wizard of some sort that stays out of range and pelts him with blasting spells.
Alternatively, I had a weird idea for a Mounted Archer that rode a flying creature of some sort (griffon, roc, dragon) and knock it out that way. So... basically the wizard idea, except physically and with help.
Suggestions?

your right the key to the tarrasque is flight anything you can do to get enough damage a round in to beat its fast healing and what not and you should be fine. just remember if you go blasting spells you will want a ring of wizardry 4 so you can use orbs ( they get past its magical defense ). i think you have to stay at about 60 feat above it to be out of range of any type of attack but i would have to look at the jump check and rules again i havent used them in a while
As a blaster, you would also have to contend with the carapace - the Big T is immune to rays, lines and cones.

hence why i mentioned the orb spells. they are instaneos conjurations with no sr so they get by it

easy just get rid of:
2500gp Eyes of the Eagle
2000gp Handy Haversack
could also remove the Monks Belt, as it wont make any difference for this contest .... get some other items(potions of Speed, or other Speed boosting items)
does not affect the performance of the Build .... with an UNLIMITED supply of Ammo and flight... you should have no problem ..... it may take some time but you will succeed
for this you need more Raw damage than you can get from a Pixie Build .... otherwise i might have done it .... if stealth was needed it would be a different story
remember all you have to do is:
1)hit AC 35 ..... my build does that with every attack on a one, except the last(on a 6 or better0
2)overcome DR 15/EPIC.... means mine only does 19 damage per hit = 76 damage/round
3)do enough damage to beat his Regeneration 40 ..... which reduces the total damage to 36 damage/round for my build
with 858 hp .... 24 rounds of combat = 864 damage, on the 25th round of combat it will be below -10 hp.... but you need someone to cast Wish to keep it dead(or UMD with Scroll of Wish)

try 50th you have to deal the hp damage into the negatives not just down to -10 but it still works
try 50th you have to deal the hp damage into the negatives not just down to -10 but it still works
not sure where you are coming from on that? ..... notice:
quoting from the SRD, Tarrasque entry:
"Regeneration (Ex): No form of attack deals lethal damage to the tarrasque. The tarrasque regenerates even if it fails a saving throw against a disintegrate spell or a death effect. If the tarrasque fails its save against a spell or effect that would kill it instantly (such as those mentioned above), the spell or effect instead deals nonlethal damage equal to the creature’s full normal hit points +10 (or 868 hp). The tarrasque is immune to effects that produce incurable or bleeding wounds, such as mummy rot, a sword with the wounding special ability, or a clay golem’s cursed wound ability. The tarrasque can be slain only by raising its nonlethal damage total to its full normal hit points +10 (or 868 hit points) and using a wish or miracle spell to keep it dead."
my build can do it in 25 rounds by itself ..... maybe you were thinking of a previous edition

no for some reason i was thinking the base hp was higher than 400ish since i have had casters with 350+ at 20th level. it just seems low if you ask me
Cleric 12. Command an Allip and sick it on the tarrasque, hide in the ground (Meld into Stone), use scroll, profit.
I had actually considered that - ability drain, ftw, indeed.
TARRASQUE
Colossal Magical Beast
Hit Dice: 48d10+594 (858 hp)

the Allip works because it is Ability Drain ... not damage ... Shivering Touch is Ability Damage

0)Drink potions, activate scrolls/wands, activate knowledge devotion
1)Activate frenzy, Pounce (combat rhythm, 7 attacks), stay 5 feet away to avoid scent (using reach from enlarge person), travel domain away as a swift action
2)toggle on favored power attack, Pounce (7 touch attacks: 1d6 + FPA + Knowledge Dev + Combat Rhythm + [Craven + 1d6 on crits]... Odds are 1.5 ish crits with the scimitars per full attack), run away using travel domain as a swift action
3)Rinse, repeat.
4)Use wish to perma-kill
For extra protection, do it all while incorporeal (can't smell things on different planes) and wielding g.touching weapons.
The DM, in a fit of amusement, has allowed me a 'challenge': a level 20 gestalt versus a draconic heritage Tarrasque of Legend Paragon with some native spellcasting.
For the level 20 challenge, tell him you'll do it non gestalt and pull out The Colossus of War.
or you can put the colossus of war on one side and something extremely silly on the other like the chaingun fighter or a wizard3/master specialist 10/ initate of the seven fold viel
you know just to double up the fun

Heck with a Belt of Battle you could probably kill it in 1 round.
