I remember in the Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan uh spoilers a head but it's relevant to a point not to speak too ill of the dearly departed couple times over. They fought a slightly smaller prototype version of Talos which seemed more practical with the heel weakness it was a maintenance hatch that let 1 character enter and destroy it from the inside. Sadly though this character died in her effort which seems like a harder weakness to exploit then remove a nail and he'll bleed out
