How can the Armored Titan be killed if he can transfer his consciouness to his body and transform and heal?


Manga spoilers not possibly covered within the 3rd Season below.

There are three ways.

1.) Make him lose his will to live

In **Chapters 102 - 103** ,

> when Eren infiltrated Marley, he had a talk with Reiner. During this, Eren
> transformed and Reiner tried protecting Falco but was also injured. **His
> injuries, however, did not heal**. Falco remarked that, to quote, 'if he has
> the power of a titan, any injuries should automatically heal themselves..
> **So long as he has a strong will to live**...'

During their talk,

> Reiner was showing remorse for everything he's done against Eren. Reading
> those chapters, you could say that Reiner lost his will to live after Eren,
> resulting to his injuries not healing.

Therefore, one way to kill the Armored Titan is to make him

> lost his will to live so that any injuries afflicted cannot heal.

2.) Wait for Ymir's curse to take into effect

Because of Ymir's curse, Titan users' lifespans only last for 13 years so
another possible way is to wait until the Titan lived it's 13th year, then
he'll die. The power will then be [passed on to a random subject of Ymir born
after his death](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/49496/what-happens-
to-a-titan-shifter-if-they-die-without-being-eaten).

3.) Make a Titan eat him

Using a [Titan
injection](https://attackontitan.fandom.com/wiki/Titan_injection), a person
can be turned into a Titan. Then while the Armored Titan is still in human
form, if they can somehow subdue him in human form, the Titan can eat him and
the power will be transferred.

This was how the power was taken forcibly from
