Easy way to kill Miles

[Yata he/him]

Cut his spine with a shardblade. I'm actually not sure that would kill him given what happened to Szeth at the end of WoR, but unless F-Gold is a lot more broken than we've seen, I don't think it will heal him from shardblade autokills.

If he has enough Healing it may Heal... F-Gold heals Soul (it may heal also a Hemalurgy damage) and in the end a Shardblade wound is a Soul wound

If he's already tapping enough of it then yeah that'd probably heal him. Or possibly make him Invested enough to be difficult to cut anyway.

In another thread, using technology that would far exceed the level they had in any of the novels, it would possibly be feasible to come up with a bullet with a liquid aluminum/mercury core that upon entry into the brain would shatter making it extreme difficult to remove without extensive surgery. Also you could find a way to make a shotgun shell of aluminum ball bearings. So you would not outright kill the compounder, but you could do enough damage that could not immediately be healed to grab him, tie him up and then dismember him while pouring molten aluminum down each core of the severed appendage/neck. By then I figure the soul would have departed enough that no amount of gold would bring the person back. I am sure there are holes in my logic, but just an idea that popped into my head.

The only real hole I see here is that that would cost a lot

It's quite madness but a Compounder may Behead himself to avoid the Alluminium effect (Queen of Heart approved) and use Heal to grow a Brand new Head (Queen of Heart don't approved)

My post covers that. That is why I said to pour molten aluminum into those stumps. 

 

just in case I misunderstood your post. If you meant regarding the liquid aluminum/mercury core shot to the brain, i disagree. Basically because it breaks up in the skull and spreads the damage throughout, it is not like a single line of damage. There would be massive damage all throughout unable to be healed which would prevent motor function to allow the compounder to behead himself. If he had a friend nearby however, yes that ally could behead him negating the issue but that could also be mitigated with follow up shots. In that unlikely scenario with that level of technology, it would be a sniper shot to the head, followed up with the heart and the lungs. The compounder himself would be too overwhelmed to be able to take any physical action, and maintaining sniper fire on the location would prevent an ally from reaching the compounder to aid him or her. Then the only question would become how long would a compounder need to be brain dead before the spirit departs as Nale mentioned regarding the use of a regrowth fabrial. Once that duration passed, which Nale implied is not long, then compounder is dead as a door knob regardless the removal of aluminum after.
