Though ideal that'd be extremely difficult to pull off and require optimal circumstances, which these are not. No chance of a chunky salsa effect at least, so that is good. I think the explosives would be best used to knock it off balance while we restrain it but the problem with that is how to restrain it and, as you said, if the thing would die in an arrow shot that'd be bad news. Either way, I think we will need to prepare to hurt it a little in order to achieve the optimal outcome.
