well, the paintings did show the Deathstalker fighting dozens of people, and killing a number of them; I assumed that battle was long and hard(possibly lasing days) and many people died just to injure it and drive it into a cave before "closing up" the entrance so it couldn't leave(at least til it recovered, but I guess then it had no reason to leave?). The "more advanced weapons" allowed these largely inexperienced warriors to stun and parry attacks from the Deathstalker - let them fight it with painfully few fighters, and win.

For the record, you can wreak the armour of a tank by throwing rocks at it - you just need a LOT of rocks; I assume those battle scars we see on it are largely wear on the armour from hundreds of cuts and bashs, not the few dozens of strikes we see in this battle.

Nevermind that most of the weapons used in the episode were probably not originally intended to fight a creature like this - even Nora's grenade launcher is probably not made for armour penetration; but they can stun it, and hurt where there it's armour is thin, like Ren showed.

I'm only sad such an old creature died; It went down in proper battle, so I'm not about how it died. and now that you mention it, the Nevermore did get the short straw in that regard.
