3] THE BASICS [0300]
______________________________________________________________________________
Like I started to explain in my introduction, your task is to find and hunt
down these colossi. In order to do that, you must use your sword as a guide.
When in a sunlit area, press Circle to raise your sword and let it hit the
light. Move around the sword and you will see beams of sunlight point in
areas.
If the beams of light are spread apart, then you're going the wrong way.
Rotate your sword until all the beams of light come together and pointto one
location. The controller will also rumble when this happens. Follow that
direction to get to the colossus. It's not always a straight line; sometimes
you'll have to trek across mountains or swim across lakes.
Once you find the colossus, you will have to find a way on it. Each colossi
have weak points that must be attacked in order to hurt the beast. Raise your
sword and shine the light on their body. When you feel the controller rumble,
then you have found a weak point.
When the light crosses it, a symbol will appear showing you the vital point.
There's always a strategy to first climb on the colossus. Use your
surroundings to your advantage. Always look for fur patches on them so you can
use it to climb on them.
You can jump from part to part, such as leap from their arm to their stomach.
The colossus will try to shake you off, and your stamina meter (the pink
circle) will decrease.
Rest points are sometimes located on colossi. These points are spots where
you can take a rest. Let go of R1 in this spot and you will be safe as your
stamina replenishes. When you reach a weak point, press Square to rear your
sword back. When you feel the controller rumble, it means you have fully
charged up the attack.
Now press Square to stab on the weak spot. Keep doing this to take out the
weak point and decrease the colossus's health. Sometimes they have more than
one weak point, so you'll have to take them all out in order to kill the
colossus.
Save altars can be found around the land as you locate different colossi. If
you happen to find one, press Circle next to it to save your game. You also
get a chance to save your game after you kill a colossus.
Press Start to open your map. It pinpoints your location on it as well as the
colossi you've defeated. A dotted line shows you the path that you have taken
to reach the colossus as well as a dot that shows the location of it.
Remember, these only show the location for colossi that you've already killed.
Also remember that I use the map frequently and so should you. If I say "head
north", I mean head north on the map. I'll be using these references a lot, so
I don't want you to get confused.
You can increase your stats in this game. You will find many trees on your
journey. Some hold delicious fruit. Use your bow to shoot them down and pick
them up. Once eaten, your health will not only be replenished, but your
health bar will get bigger. Lizards can also be found all over the place.
Shoot them with your bow and pick up their tail. When you eat these, you will
regain stamina as well as increase the stamina circle.
Tigress sends in:
-----------------
Only the white-tailed lizards increase your stamina meter. They can usually
be found around save points and sometimes near fruit trees. A big group of
lizards (like in the desert) will also have one or two. There is also an
abusable glitch in the game: If you save at some of the save points after
killing the lizard and then turn the game off, you will find a new lizard
lurking around the save point when you fire it up again.
After you kill a colossus, you can return to the battle area to find its dead
body. If you walk up to the body, you will be asked if you'd like to enter
Reminiscent Mode. This mode lets you fight the colossus again (as many times
as you like).

4] WALKTHROUGH [0400]
______________________________________________________________________________
Remember, I use the map frequently and so should you. If I say "head north",
I mean head north on the map. I'll be using these references a lot, so I
don't want you to get confused.
The game is covered under Normal mode. Take note to this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.01] The Beginning - Colossus 1 [0401]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will first start off in the temple with your horse and the girl on the
altar. A mysterious voice now known as Dormin will tell you the basics of
controlling the boy. Follow its directions and get used to the feel of the
game. When you're done practicing, press Triangle to get on your horse, Agro,
and head down the stairs to the left or right of the altar.
Repeatedly press X to kick Agro and get it to gallop faster. Take note of the
save altar right in front of the temple. You can save now if you like. Raise
your sword by pressing Circle once you get outside. When the beams of light
come together at a point, follow that way.
Head south while holding down Circle and you will come to a canyon. This is
where you'll be testing some of your platforming skills. Get off of Agro and
walk towards the right wall, the one with the vines on it. Press Triangle to
jump and hold R1 to grab the vines. Now climb up the wall and press Triangle
again once you're at the edge to get up. First off, let's talk about stamina.
When you're grabbing and holding on to something, your energy will slowly
drain. The stamina meter is the pink circle, and the pink will start to
decrease and get smaller as you hold onto something.
If the pink runs out, then you will lose your grip, usually meaning falling
off of something. Now it's important to rest and let your stamina fill. You
can do this just by letting go of R1. It's important to do this on a colossus,
beacuse losing your grip 500 feet off the ground isn't good.
Walk along the ledge to the left until you find a gap. Run and press Triangle
to leap across it to the other side. Grab the ledge ahead and hoist yourself
up. Proceed this time to the right. You'll find a stone lying across your
path. The only way to get around it is to dive roll. Press R1 and Triangle at
the same time to roll. Dive roll under the stone and to the other side. The
path comes to a dead end, but there's a way around it.
Grab the next ledge and you will see a pillar next to you. Jump next to it and
grab the edge of it. Use the left analog to shimmy to the left around it. Now
since you're on the other side of the pillar, aim the left analog to the left
and press Triangle to leap across to the ledge. Now you can continue up the
pathway to meet up with the first colossus. Woo!
o------------o
| COLOSSUS 1 |
o------------o
Weak Points: Left calf, head
Rest Spots: Lower/mid back (platforms), shoulders
Here we are; the first colossus of the game. After you are done gawking at
its size, it's time to find a way to take this giant thing out. First off,
shine your sword on the colossus to check out its weak points. Symbols will
appear on the colossus' head and leg.
When it sees you, the beast will lumber over towards you. The colossus is not
that dangerous when you're on the ground. It will walk around, so do make
sure that the colossus doesn't step on you. It will also use the club in its
hand as a weapon.
The colossus will slowly rear it behind its head and smash it down on the
ground. Stay out of the way or else you're done for. If at any time you die
during the battle, you will start off at the beginning of the battle.
The first weak spot is its left calf. Run over to its leg and try not to get
crushed. Now you can jump up to the colossus' hairy leg. The calf will be
glowing red. Stab the calf to not only damage the colossus, but to bring it
down on one knee.
This is your signal to jump off of the calf onto the ground. Run over to the
fallen knee and quickly jump onto the back of the knee so you can climb up
the back of the colossus' leg. If the colossus stands up before you can
reach the leg, then you will have to stab the calf a second time.
Continue climbing up its leg up to the back. There are a series of platforms
on the colossus' back where you can rest. Climb up onto a platform and let
your stamina replenish.
Of course, the colossus will try to shake you off, so grab on if you start
to fall. An easy way to regain your composure is to hold R1 when not near
the colossus's fur. You will duck and help to gain your balance without
using any stamina whatsoever.
Once you're ready, start to climb up the back of the colossus. Trek up the
back hair of the colossus until you reach the shoulders. You can freely walk
around on the shoulders and upper back of the beast; you most likely won't
fall off. So once again, wait until the stamina regains, then make it
towards the head. When you reach the weak point on the head, grab onto the
hair and press Square.
Charge up a stab (the controller rumbles when it's fully charged) and stab
it. The colossus will panic more when you've arrived on its head and will
violently shake its head in order to fling you off. Hold on for dear life
with R1 and continue to stab the head. Three or four stabs to the colossus's
head should take it down for good.
Hard Mode
The only difference between Hard Mode and Normal Mode is that the colossus
gains another weak point; it is located on its right bicep. If you're on top
of its head, then drop down to the shoulders and climb down the arm. If not,
then you can crawl up the arm by attacking the calf. Attack the weak spot
until the colossus is dead.
You will watch a cutscene showing the death of the towering colossus. As it
collapses to the ground, snakey black tendrils will slip into your body. You
fall to the ground and black out. Now the game asks you to save. Of course,
do so and you will return to the temple. The idol breaks apart and Dormin
gives you the clue for the next colossus' location.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.02] Seaside - Colossus 2 [0402]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From now on, you will always return to the temple once you beat a colossus.
Exit the temple with Agro and shine your sword. The light shines to the
temple, but you must head around it to the next destination. Head due north
of the temple towards a large bridge.
Keep riding through the plains towards a stone arch. Head down the hill
towards the crumblind stone bridge. Don't worry, it won't collapse under you.
Ride across the old bridge overlooking a seaside cove. That's your destination
and the location of the second colossus.
Once across the bridge, there will be a fork in the road. The upper pathway
leads to the third colossus, so don't go that way just yet. The lower path
will lead you down a steep rocky road. Proceed down the path to the sandy
cove. Head through the beach to the back wall where you should see a stone
door. Head up to it to reveal the location of the second colossus.
o------------o
| COLOSSUS 2 |
o------------o
Weak Points: Bottom of hooves, tailbone, head
Rest Spots: Protrusions on shoulders/hind legs
The big difference in this battle is that you are facing a four-legged
colossus. Even though, it's still a long way up to the top. The presence of
your horse will also help out in this battle such as dodging attacks and
reaching the colossus. The colossus's main attack involves it slamming its
front legs down on the ground, creating a somewhat small earthquake around
it. Of course, it just walking can and will hurt you if too close.
First, get its attention by riding in front of the beast. Once it sees you,
it will slowly walk towards you in attempt to crush you beneth its massive
feet. Run around it to the side or back. When the colossus walks, you may
notice glowing spots on the bottom of its feet. When it picks up its foot to
walk, shoot an arrow at the glowing spot to injure the colossus and have it
fall to the ground.
When the opportunity arises, run to the injured leg and grab the fur on it.
Climb up the base of the leg and up to the body. If you took out a hind leg,
head for the tail to take out the weak point there. If you injured a front
leg, then proceed to the head and destroy that point.
Let's go with where you took out a hind leg. Climb up the leg to the back and
take a rest on the bone protruding from the legs in order to regain stamina.
When ready, drop down to the tail and grab onto the fur. Stab the weak point
on the tail several times. Each time you do so, blood will spew from the weak
spot. Once the symbol disappears, you can't damage that spot any more.
The next part can be a bit tricky. You must now travel to the head. You can
go two ways; the first way is traveling up the spine. If you do this way,
you will get there faster but will have a better chance of being flown off
of the colossus.
The other way is to climb on the fur and head sideways along the beasts side
to the head. I recommend the spine way, just because you have a chance of
running out of stamina with the colossus thrashing about.
Rest one more time on the protrusions and head off on the spine. You will
have to climb over each bone on the spine to get over it. You can jump over
each, but with the colossus shaking you off, that may be harder. Continue
past the shoulders and to the neck. If you went with the climbing way, then
use the shoulders for a resting point.
Continue up the neck and onto the colossus' head. By now, the thing is
trying its hardest to chuck you off, but keep sticking onto the neck and
crawl towards the weak point on the head. When you reach the weak point,
continue to use charged stabs on the vital weak point.
Remember that you can retreat back to the shoulders if you feel that you are
going to lose your grip. It takes around five hits to take out this weak
point, so with that one gone, the colossus is done for.
Hard Mode
This colossus also has a new weak point. After you finally bring the colossus
to the ground, climb up to its body. The weak point is located on the left
side of its body. It's easy to find and eliminate.
Once again, the black tendrils chase after you. It's fun to try to run away
from them, but the outcome is inevitable. You will now return to the temple
as the second idol crumbles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.03] Atop the World - Colossus 3 [0403]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want, save at the bottom of the temple and raise your sword to find
the next location. The light will form behind the temple again, so start to
head towards the spot where you found the second colossus.
After you cross the stone bridge, you'll be at the fork in the road. Instead
of taking the lower path, climb the hill where you'll be in a shadowy canyon.
You can find some lizards here, so get off of Agro and shoot them with arrows.
Walk over to their body and press Circle to pick up the tail and eat it. You
will gain a stamina boost; enlarging the stamina meter.
Exit the canyone on Agro and you will watch a little scene. Head over to the
edge of the water and get off of your horse, Drop into the water and swim
towards the stone ramp jutting out of the lake. Use the left analog to swim
and you can press and hold R1 to dive underwater.
When underwater, your stamina meter becomes your oxygen, so get back to the
surface if it's almost gone. Once you reach the ramp, walk up it to find
yourself in front of a chasm. Jump to the pillar next to it and hold down R1
to grab the edge. Shimmy to the right and jump to the giant platform.
Run forward until you come to a stairway leading to a giant arena in the sky.
Here is where the battle against the third colossus will take place. Step in
the arena to start the fight.
o------------o
| COLOSSUS 3 |
o------------o
Weak Points: Stomach, head
Rest Spots: Right wrist (once broken), shoulders, torso (platform)
This colossus is much larger than the others and now actually has a weapon
of some sort. The colossus carries around a large stone slab which is used
as a sword. It not only destroys the floor with its massive feet, but also
swings around the stone sword. Its main use of the sword actually will help
you out in this battle, but we'll get tothat a little later.
The colossus will jab the sword into the ground vertically, which is easy to
dodge. The second attack is where it swings it down at you. Your main
priority for the first part of this battle is to somehow destroy the stone
armbands on the colossus's right hand.
You should see a large round platform in the midle of the arena. Head over,
stand on it, and use arrows to lure the colossus over. When it tries to
smash you with the sword, wait until the last minute to move and it'll hit
the platform. This causes its armband to break around its right arm. Now you
must find a way to get on the colossus, but I bet you figured how to by now.
When the colossus tries to hit you with the stone sword, wait until it hits
the ground and jump on it. Run up the sword to its hand before the sword is
raised up. Even if you don't get there in time, you can climb up the rest of
the sword. Now you can climb past the broken armband to the first weak
point: the head.
Climb up the rest of the colossus's arm and up to the shoulders. You can
make a pit stop and rest up on the huge shoulders. When your grip is full,
make your way up to the head and the symbol will appear. Start to stab at
the head to injure the behemoth. The colossus will be flailing its head back
and forth, so you might want to keep things safe and return to the shoulders
before the weak point is taken out.
The weak point will be taken out when you've dealt half of its health. Now
you can return to the shoulders and replenish your grip. Travel back down
the shoulders to the back. Climb down most of the colossus's back and you
should find a platform around the beast's hip. Walk around it to the front
to find the the last weak point. Stab it several times to take out the
colossus for good.
Another way to fight this battle is to target the stomach first. When you
first climb up the arm, you can make a leap of faith to the large platform
on the torso. There you can climb up to the stomach and take out that weak
point first.
Once that's done, climb up the chest until you make it to the head. I can't
really recommend this method, because you'll most likely end up falling to
your doom when jumping from the colossus's arm to its stomach. Still, use
whichever strategy you prefer.
Hard Mode
A new weak point is now located on the colossus's left arm. If you attack the
stomach first, then you can go for the head and leave the arm for last. The
weak point is easy to locate; just climb down the shoulders and onto its arm,
then stab the weak point to defeat the colossus.
Another one bites the dust! Get attacked by the black tendrils as you fall
unconscious yet again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.04] Solitude - Colossus 4 [0404]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your destination will be southeast, in a peaceful wooded area. To get there,
you'll have to shine your sword. On the screen you'll be travelling to the
left. As you approach the foothills, you should see a small ravine cut down
the mountain.
Slip through to find yourself in a forest. You'll see a cutscene when you
enter. Head down the hill to the clearing and pass the hills with the doors in
them (remember where they are for the battle ahead).
Proceed to the far end of the clearing to start up the battle with the fourth
colossus.
o------------o
| COLOSSUS 4 |
o------------o
Weak Points: Neck, head
Rest Spots: Protrusions on shoulders
The fourth colossus also walks on four legs, but is different than the second
one you fought. This colossus resembles a giraffe or a horse and is a lot
bigger than the other quadruped. The colossus's calm and regal look should be
taken seriously. This guy barely does anything offensively. All the beast
does it walk around, but you may get hit by its needle-like feet.
Remember those hills that I kinda, well, told you to remember? Yeah, head
back to those and lure the colossus over as well. The easiest way to lure it
over is simply by whistling.
When the monster comes over and has its eyes on you, slip in one of the doors
of the bunker and wait inside. When you hear loud crashes and banging, you
know that the colossus is attacking your impromptu hiding spot.
When the shaking and crashing stops, then it's your cue to exit the bunker.
First off, don't go through the entrance. Head down the path and you should
find back doors. Exit through one of them and you will be behind the big
colossus.
By now, the colossus should be lying on the ground (not sure why, but it
helps you with getting on it). Run over to the colossus's tail which has two
ledges on it. Stand next to the tail and jump up to grab the first ledge.
Pull yourself up to the second one and finally to the beast.
The colossus will realize where you are and starts shaking. Hurry and grab
the fur and slowly make your way up the back.
Head up the back of the colossus as it thrashes about. You can rest on the
bones sticking out of the shoulders. You should be safe standing on them.
Drop down to the shoulders and climb to the neck. There will be a "minor"
weak point here, like the first colossus's calf. Stab the neck once the send
the beast in a state of tremendous pain. It will lower its neck, giving you
access to the head and the final weak point.
The head is where the only main weak point is located on the beast. As you
hold onto the furry head in an attempt to plunger your sword in, the
colossus will still be flailing around. The head is a pretty safe spot to
let go of the fur and crouch. Now you don't have to retreat back to the
shoulders to regain grip.
When the colossus gets ready to shake again, grab the fur to avoid falling.
Keep using strong stabs against the colossus. It takes around seven charged
stabs with your sword to take down the behemoth.
Hard Mode
The fourth colossus has two new weak points; both located on its front legs.
Climb up onto the colossus using the normal strategy, then find and locate
the two symbols. Destroy them first and attack the head last to kill it.
o--------------------o
| ALTERNATE STRATEGY |
o--------------------o
I have recieved some mail from Outlaw_JT regarding another way to get on the
colossus. He writes: "Instead of jumping on its tail, run up underneath it
while it is still perched over the hole, run up to the edge of the mound and
jump onto one of the stone dreadlocks dangling from its head.
Using this and the ridges on its head you can climb straight to the top of
its head without having to navigate the back or stab the neck to move its
head into position." - Thanks Outlaw_JT!
You know what comes next. As you black out from the ghastly tendrils, the
fourth idol collapses to the temple floor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.05] Airborne Duel - Colossus 5 [0405]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are we, a quarter done with the game now? It's been a blast so far,
hasn't it? Alright, things are going to pick up a lot more with this
colossus. Exit the temple with Agro and raise your sword when you enter the
sunlight. Head east once again to the next location. Pass the ravine in which
you went through to find the last colossus and continue through the plains.
Proceed down the canyon and on the cliff walls.
You will end up finding an opening in the cliff wall. There's a save altar
here. Do what you wish with it and continue along. You will find yourself in
a very misty area with an eroded tower in front of you.
Jump into the lake surrounding the tower and swim towards it. A gate surrounds
the area, so press R1 to dive down into the water. Swim through the opening in
the wall and come up on the other side. Jump up onto dry land and climb up the
large pillar beside you.
When you reach the top, you will find a bridge. Head through and up the
stairs. Doing this activates a cutscene; the battle with the fifth colossus
begins now!
o------------o
| COLOSSUS 5 |
o------------o
Weak Points: Tail, left wing, right wing
Rest Spots: Tail/shoulders/back (when upright)
The battle starts off pretty calm. The bird-like colossus is perched on some
rubble far into the lake. There should be a hole in the side of the platform
that you're standing on; drop down and plop into the lake.
Start swimming east through the misty lake. It's a pretty large area, so it's
easy to get lost. Look for two structures sticking out of the water in the
center of the lake. Swim to those and you should find three platforms on the
water's surface.
When standing on the central platform, you can see the colossus right in
front of you on the rubble. Pull out your bow and fire away at the monster.
Of course, it doesn't take kindly to you firing arrows at it, so the beast
will get pissed. The colossus will swoop down and fly straight at you. Don't
worry, you should be fine if you do this right. Stay on the platform and
wait until the colossus draws near, then jump at it.
If done correctly, press R1 to grab on the fur on the colossus' wings and
you'll be picked up. The colossus will start to fly high in the air. Don't
worry; still hold on and don't start moving until it stops swirling and
spinning around.
When you can move, then slowly crawl to the closest wing. There is a period
of time where the colossus will fly in a straight line. When it does this,
then it is safe to walk on it without going flying off of it. If it starts
to dive or move, then grab its fur again.
When upright, quickly run across the wing to the tip. Grab on the patch of
fur and start to stab at the weak point. Two or three stabs will take out the
weak point. When this happens, the colossus will freak out and begin to fly
around in a haze. Hold on for dear life as it dives like a roller coaster.
It's actually okay if you end up falling off of the colossus at any time
while in the air. You will most likely land in the water and won't take any
damage. If this happens, return to the platforms and shoot the colossus with
arrows again. This time, it will still be in the air flying, so it will be
a bit harder to hit it.
Now it's time to take out the second weak point on the wing. Wait until the
colossus is calmly flying again and make a mad dash to the neck and back
region. Then you can start to run to the tip of the next wing. If it starts
to spin around, grab the fur below you. Stab the second weak point on the
wing two or three times to eliminate it. Now only the weak point on the tail
remains.
The fun way to reach the tail quickly is hard, but you can do it if you're
lucky. If the colossus starts to fly faster, let go of the fur and you will
be most likely fall backwards off of the colossus.
If you hit and hold R1 while in the air, there's a chance that you will grab
one of the spikes on the tail or the tail itself. Like I said, it's pretty
hard to do this; you're better off just crawling down the furry back.
Either way, the last weak point will appear when you have arrived. The weak
point on the tail is a tad stronger than the other ones. Use strong charged
stabs on the tail. Once you've stabbed it around four times, the colossus
will plummet into the lake as the last bit of its energy is swept away.
Hard Mode
There is nothing new about this colossus in Hard Mode.
As the carcass of the fifth colossus lay in the depths of the misty lake, you
are swarmed by the black things and knocked out. When you come to, idol
number five crumbles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.06] Enter the Ruins - Colossus 6 [0406]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So far five idols have been destroyed and eleven more remain. Let's get to
work. When you pinpoint the location of the next colossus with your sword, it
will be in a different direction than the others. Now you will have to go
southwest to reach it. Ride through the plains and you should see two very
tall columns in the distance. You must get to those, but it's not that easy.
You will come to a dark forest sooner or later. It is heavily dense and easy
to get lost in it. You can't shine your sword here, so just follow my
directions. Hug the right wall and right through, looking for openings on the
side. Go through the second opening on the right.
You will come to a large clearing on the other side. Follow the light and ride
towards the save altar.
Save and while you're at it, hunt the lizards that roam the area. Continue
down the hill towards the large temple in the distance. Once you reach it,
dismount Agro and go down the staircase near the front of the ruins.
Once inside, climb over the fallen pillars and rocks. Head through the tunnel
to come to a very large room inside. There is a long way down to the bottom
floor, and falling isn't an option.
Walk straight ahead to the edge of the cliff and hold R1. Walk off the cliff
while holding R1 and you will grab a ledge. Now let go of R1 and press it
again immediately to grab the ledge below. Keep doing this, navigating either
left or right, to the bottom. Once you reach the bottom of the ruins, the
sixth colossus will appear.
o------------o
| COLOSSUS 6 |
o------------o
Weak Points: Head, left deltoid
Rest Spots: Shoulders
The giant colossus will appear behind you and start plodding towards you.
This hulking beast has a number of attacks which are all very deadly. Its
primary attack is where the giant will slam its fist into the ground,
leaving a big impression in the ground. The colossus will also try to crush
you under its large foot. Jump to avoid the large shockwave.
You can't hurt it right now, so take the pansy way and run! Run to the wall
ahead and climb up it. Drop down to the floor and head near the next wall.
Climb this one as well and drop down. Through all of this, the colossus will
be slowly following you, crashing through wach wall that you previously
climbed over.
After one more wall, a dead end appears. Hide under the balcony until the
colossus catches up to you. You will be safe here, so play it safe and hide
out for a while.
Wait in the shadows as the colossus draws near. The colossus will get pretty
impatient trying to find you, and eventually it will stick its head down and
try to look under the balcony. See its long, wooly beard? That is how you get
on the guy.
When its head lowers to the ground, run out of hiding and grab onto its
scruffy beard. Climb up as the shocked thing stands there motionless.
By the time you reach the head, the colossus will be flipping out; whipping
its head around practically nonstop. Keep holding on and try to get in a few
stabs on the weak point. I suggest going over to the shoulder and recovering
your grip before you take out the weak point on the head for good.
Once you take out the weak spot on the colossus's head, one more will
appear. It is on the colossus's left deltoid. By the way, the deltoid is on
the back, just so you're not left clueless. So get back to the shoulders and
recover your grip.
Slowly climb down as the beast still thrashes about. Lower yourself to the
left and the weak point will appear. Continue to use strong stabs on the
deltoid. By now, it won't wiggle around as much, so you shouldn't need to
retreat back to the shoulders. Once you stab the last weak point a good five
times, the giant is taken down for good.
Hard Mode
There is a weak point on the left hand of the colossus. As you hide under the
structure like normally, you can either proceed like usual and grab on its
beard. From there, take out the weak points on its head and deltoid.
Or you can also target the hand first by running out from the structure and
grabbing onto the fur on the colossus's hand.
The spirits will come out of the colossus and envelop you. Time for the next
hunting mission.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.07] Time For a Swim - Colossus 7 [0407]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exit the temple once again and use your sword to pinpoint the location of the
next colossus. Your sword will shine behind the temple again, so head out.
Head to the old stone bridge and ride across it.
At the fork, proceed up the hill towards the misty lake where you found the
third colossus. Instead of swimming to the stone platform, stay on Agro and
ride down the coast until you get to a canyon. Continue riding in the canyon
and when you come to an intersection, go right. Most of the area that you're
riding through is very dark, so you can't use your sword as a guide.
You will find a save altar in the opening here, so if you wish to save, then
do so. Follow the light of the sword when you enter the sunlight towards the
stone columns in the distance. As you follow the light, you will come to a
stone archway with an opening in the middle.
Dismount your horse and proceed through the opening. Go across the bridge to
the spiral pillar. Instead of going to the top, just jump into the swampy
waters to start the battle.
o------------o
| COLOSSUS 7 |
o------------o
Weak Points: Base of spikes, head
Rest Spots: Body (when above water)
You know this will be an interesting battle, because you know, you have to
fight an electric eel while swimming around in a swamp! How cool is that?
The colossus will most likely not even notice you at first and continue to
swim around. Swim over to it (press R1 to dive, you swim faster than when
above water) and right past its head.
The colossus will notice you and start to swim to the surface. When it comes
up to the surface, the spikes will stick out of the water. The spikes are
electrically charged and creates a ring of electricity when above the water.
When you see the first one come out of the water, then swim away to avoid
it. When you dodge the first one, turn around and swim back towards the
tail, keeping your distance from the spikes.
When the third spikes submerges again, the colossus will rear its tail out of
the water. There is a very minimal amount of time, so when the tail sticks
out of the water, quickly grab onto the fur and you will go underwater with
the colossus.
The colossus will furiously swim around, but keep holding onto the tail.
After a little bit, the colossus will start to stick out of the water a bit,
giving you a chance to freely walk on the its back.
Once you're above water, run over to the base of the first spike. The fur
around each spike is brown. That's almost like the boundary of how far the
electricity will go. When underwater, the colossus's spikes will also shoot
out electricity. If you are outside the brown ring, then you'll be fine.
Once above water again, begin to stab the base of the spike; the area should
glow dark red. One or two stabs will take out the weak point. You should
have enough time to get a start on moving to the second one before you go
back under.
When you reach the second base, take it out the same way. If you ever fall
off of the colossus at any time, you'll have to repeat the strategy of
getting its attention and grabbing the tail again.
By now, the colossus will have to resort to a new tactic. The beast will
dive down underwater, way farther than expected. When it starts to go down
very deep, then just let go and swim back to the surface. It will try to
dive down and drown you, so don't stay on it for too long or you will run
out of air.
Once back at the surface, you will have to repeat the first strategy again.
Get its attention and grab onto the tail. Unfortunately, you will now have to
make your way past the other spikes again. When you reach the third, take it
out with one or two stabs.
Once the third spike is destroyed, the weak point on the colossus's head
will appear. The behemoth will thrash about and start to dip its head
underwater and back above a lot. This doesn't give you a lot of time to
attack, so resort to quick, weaker stabs so you can actually get a hit in.
If you use weaker stabs, it should take maybe ten or twelve. Strong stabs
take five or six to take the colossus down. Either way, this reptilian
colossus won't go down with a fight.
Hard Mode
There is nothing new about this colossus in Hard Mode.
As the giant colossus slowly sinks to the bottom of the lake, you will be
enveloped by the black spirits. You'll be transported to the temple as usual.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.08] The Arena - Colossus 8 [0408]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's time to set off again to fight the eighth colossus. Exit the temple and
head southeast, where the light shines. Ride across the plains until you
reach a small opening in the mountain. Pass through the canyon to another
open area. Proceed across to the other side where you will find a cave.
Ride through the cave to a very narrow cliff path. It's really small here and
is littered with rocks and trees. You're better off getting off of Agro and
walking. When you're at the end, just whistle to get it over. Get on Agro
again and enter the second cave.
You will exit to a scenic area complete with a beautiful lake and lush trees.
Well, once you're done sightseeing, head to the stone structure to the left.
You can either swim to it or ride to the right.
Make the turn to the center of the lake and go across the rocks. Once you
reach the stone structure (whether you swim across or ride Agro), enter the
building and dismount your horse if you haven't already.
You will now be inside some ruins. Walk over to the left pillar and jump to
it. Grab the edge of it and shimmy around it to the other side. Jump to the
platform and walk to the far wall. Drop down to the floor and head through to
enter a large colosseum. Once you reach the window ahead, the battle starts.
o------------o
| COLOSSUS 8 |
o------------o
Weak Points: Legs, belly, chest
Rest Spots: None
This battle is another interesting one. Also, this battle marks where the
colossi can really pack a punch and start to damage you. In the earlier
battles, you kinda just get knocked off of the colossus and get back on.
Well, they are tougher now and will resort to killing you rather than just
shaking you off. The colossus has a few attacks, but they are very powerful
and annoying to boot.
It walking can hurt you like the other colossi, but this colossus has a
deadly attack. It can shoot out energy shots at you. Of course, you will
take damage if you're hit. But after the shots hit something, they release
poison gas in the vicinity. Back away, or the gas will seep your health so
quick, you won't even realize you're losing health until you're dead.
Well the lobster-like colossus is at the bottom of the arena and you are way
up top. There are sets of stairs that you can go down, but lets not. Run to
the right to see a large portion of the area broken off, giving you access
to the lower floors. Drop down while holding R1 to grab the lower ledge.
Take out your bow and aim at the legs of the colossus. Shoot one of the legs
to get its attention. When it has its sights set on you, the colossus will
scale the walls of the arena in order to reach you. This is where you can
drop down to the bottom floor, then head down the stairs to the center of
the arena.
With you out in the open, the colossus has a much better chance of hitting
you with poison blasts. If you see the mouth of the colossus start to glow,
then put down your bow and get ready to run away, for it will shoot poison
blasts in your location.
Ready your bow and aim for the legs of the colossus again. This time, hit the
glowing part on the leg to hurt it. Hit two legs for the colossus to lose its
balance and fall off of the wall.
The colossus falls to the ground, on its back fortunately. It will writhe on
the ground. This is your cue for attack. Run up its tail to its stomach.
Here is where the first weak point lies. Equip the sword and stab the weak
point on the stomach. You'll need to stab it about five times to take it
out. You will surely have enough time to take out one, but the colossus
flips over after one goes away.
Now return to the interior of the arena and go up the flight of stairs to
where you first started the battle. You'll have to attract the colossus and
get it to climb the walls again.
When you do that, hurry down to the bottom and damage two of its legs. This
time, the weak point will appear on its chest. Sure, you will have to walk
farther up its body, but its more or less the same. Once you take out the
second weak point, the colossus is done for.
Hard Mode
There are no new weak points located on the colossus, but the previous weak
points take more hits to be eliminated.
o--------------------o
| ALTERNATE STRATEGY |
o--------------------o
Here's another alternate strategy from Ardes. Here's what he says: "Start on
the top floor and head to the edge of the broken-off area. Shoot at the
Colossi to get it's attention. As it's scaling the walls, drop down one floor
below. Look through the barred windows and you'll see that you can shoot at
it's belly. Shoot it with about 3 or 4 arrows, and the beast will fall.
Jump down (grabbing the ledge right before the ground, then falling again so
you only take a bit of damage.) and climb onto the colossi, stabbing at the
weakpoints.
Once it starts moving, get out of there and run up the stairs to the top
floor (or any floor past the first, I guess, I hadn't tried it that way) and
repeat the strategy. This way was quicker and easier (again, for me) with a
huge decrease in the chance of getting hit with poison gas!" - Thanks for the
alternate strategy Ardes!
o--------------------o
| ALTERNATE STRATEGY |
o--------------------o
I got another strategy from vanshomieg: "Hey, nice work with the strategy
guide, but the strategies for the eighth colossus are just too much, and I
have one of the fastest strategies for defeating him. If done right, and I
have actually accomplished this, you can defeat it in under a minute in time
attack mode.
At the very beginning, as the cutscene ends, immediately whistle and run to
the right. Jump down the stairs and pull your bow out, then run to the
opening in the wall. If done right, the colossus should be exactly to your
left, legs easily hit with arrows.
Two legs gone, as it starts to fall, jump, leap of faith, straight down. The
colossus falls faster, so you should hit the ground about the same time.
Then, jump on to its stomach and do the jumping stabs on the two weak points
to finish it off." - Thanks vanshomieg!
You will be swept into darkness again and return to the temple. Wow, half of
the colossi are killed! It's been fun, hasn't it? ^_~
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.09] Barren Wasteland - Colossus 9 [0409]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you wake up, you will be looking a lot more rugged and scruffy. Hmm, a
sign maybe? Or maybe you just look like a hobo. Eh.
Ride Agro out of the temple and out into the open light. Shine your sword to
have it point to the northwest. Continue behind the temple and instead of
going across the bridge to the second/third/seventh colossus, go left a
little bit to find yet another bridge next to it. Proceed across this one and
you will be in an open plain again. Simply shine your sword and ride across
the vast plains.
You can find lizards and fruit trees along the way, so I recommend picking
some up to boost your stats. There are save altars in this wide area, so save
if you happen to pass one. Follow the light from your sword and you will start
to notice that the green plains start to get dry and barren.
You will soon enter a dark valley. Head left along the cliff edge to find a
cluster of dead trees. Cross the stone bridge to the other side. Here you
will be in a barren wasteland with noting but several active geysers thrown
around. Ride towards the opening in the mountainside and enter the darkness
to awaken the next colossus.
o------------o
| COLOSSUS 9 |
o------------o
Weak Points: Bottom of feet, head
Rest Spots: Shoulders, head
This guy just plain sucks. It is by far the hardest so far and is probably
the only one so far that will give you trouble. This guy is yet another
quadruped, but unlike the others, its friggin' huge.
It will plod around in the cave at first, raising its head to reveal some
sort of symbol on its chin. The colossus's main attack is where it'll shoot
lasers from the symbol on its chin. It is really hard to dodge without Agro.
If you're not on the horse, then jumping is your best bet. It wil also raise
its front legs in an attempt to smash you with them.
The strategy for this battle is very unique. Lure the colossus out of the
cave and out into the open. Try to stay on Agro to make it follow you
faster. Head over to one of the geysers (they aren't very hard to spot) and
make sure it is following you.
Once you reach one, get off of Agro and start to whistle to get the beasts
attention. Now this is a lot harder to actually do, but you will have to lure
the colossus so it is standing over a geyser.
Do this by whistling constantly and dodging its lasers. Once you get it over
one, just stop and wait for the geyser to shoot up. Once it is hit by the
water, it will stumble.
Getting hit by the geyser causes the colossus to fall on one side. It will
reveal the bottom of two of its feet, which glow green. Shoot both of the
green spots with your bow to make it fall over on its back, giving you an
opportunity to get onto the beast.
With the colossus laying on the ground, quickly run over to it and go around
it to the stomach. There will be small platforms that reach the ground in
the middle of its stomach. Climb up them to its furry underside. Climb up
the stomach and go up top and try to get on its back now. Wait for it to
flip over, while waiting at the top of the stomach so you can get up on the
back of the turtle-like colossus.
Once it is up on all fours again, you can walk around the bony shelf
alongside its back. Walk around to the tail of the beast and head up the
shell of the colossus.
Now continue up the spine of the colossus towards the head. There is no fur
on the back, so do your best to get onto the colossus's head without getting
thrown off. Once you reach its head, you can attack the weak point.
The colossus actually doesn't move around all that much, so stay on the
attack. If you do run out of stamina, then drop down the head to the ledge-
like upper jaw of the colossus. It serves as a nice resting place that's
conveniently close to the weak point. Once you take out the weak point,
which takes eight or so hits, the colossus falls to the ground dead.
Hard Mode
There is nothing new about this colossus in Hard Mode.
Get attacked by the weird black things again and you will return to the
temple. The ninth idol will be reduced to pebbles once you come to and Dormin
will give you your next hint.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.10] The Shifting Sands - Colossus 10 [0410]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just to tell you now, this trip will be a long one. Shine your sword once you
get out of the temple to have it point west. Travel the same way as you did
to get to the sixth colossus; through the forest.
After entering the dark forest towards the west, stay to the right and make
the first right. It's a bit hard to spot, so go slow. You will have to go
through a series of trenches and tunnels until you can reach open land again.
Once out in the plains, you can find a crapload of lizards and fruit trees
around, as well as a save altar. Save and stock up on the many stat-boosting
items in the vicinity.
Your main priority is to go to the left once you reach the plains. Proceed to
the left towards the mountain in the distance. Once you reach it, go to the
right into the small alcove. You will come so a small area home to another
save altar.
Save and enter the cave to find yourself in an underground sand-filled area.
Once you ride Agro to the center, you will trigger a cutscene.

| COLOSSUS 10 |
o-------------o
Weak Points: Eyes, lower back, mid back
Rest Spots: None
This battle is such a pain in the ass, it's just plain mind boggling. The
overall task is simple on paper, but is very frustrating to do due to your
little "sidekick" Agro, whom you must use in order to fight this thing.
First off, the colossus is a giant sand worm whom "swims" through the sand
and will occasionally pop up to attack. Its primary attack is it will simply
charge into you, which will probably take out close to half of your health.
The colossus will also lunge into the air, mouth open, in an attempt to get
you in its jaws. Don't get pissed if you die a lot in this battle.
The only reason why this battle is hard and frustrating is because you
pretty much have to ride your horse Agro the whole battle. Get used to the
advanced horse controls. Press Down and X once to stop on a dime. Press Down
and X twice to do a 180-degree spin, making the fight a little easier.
Your main priority is to first get the beasts attention. Ride around on Agro
and run in front of the thing to get it to follow you. Keep pressing X to
make Agro gallop faster while it chases around. Agro should automatically
steer along so you don't go right into a wall or anything. When the creature
is following you for some time now, it will pop its head above the surface,
revealing its two beady eyes.
Switch to your bow and press L1 to focus on the colossus. When L1 is held
down, your arrow will focus right on the middle of the head, making aiming
that much easier. Shoot either eye to have the colossus burrow its head into
the ground, revealing its back as well as a weak point.
Dismount off of Agro and climb up the back of the colossus. Its head will be
underground for a very long time and doesn't try to shake you off, so you
don't really need a resting point for this fight.
Once you reach the first weak point located on its lower back, start to
attack it. Five stabs will do the trick. Now the colossus will resume moving
around through the sand. Get back on Agro and repeat the process once more.
The next time, the weak point will be located higher up on its back. Believe
me, I made this sound so much easier, but its probably not. If you're like me
and have a hard time controlling Agro, then you're in for one tough fight.
Hard Mode
There are no new weak points located on the colossus, but the previous weak
points take more hits to be eliminated.
Watch as the black tendrils take you down, resulting in you fainting again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.11] A Fiery Battle - Colossus 11 [0411]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your next destination is a ruined temple, which lies in a chasm. To get there,
you will have to go north. Cross the stone bridge leading to the second
colossus and take the left path.
Here, follow the insanely tall bridge in the opening cutscene. You pretty much
have to follow it to the far end of the desert.
Soon enough, you will reach a chasm. Head along to the right and you will see
a small broken pillar on the edge of the cliff. Dismount Agro and drop down to
a platform right below the pillar. Now you can walk down the side of the cliff
wall until you reach the bottom. Swim across the pond towards the ramp.
You can enter two entrances here; the first leads to the bottom of the ruins,
and the entrance farther up leads you to the top. Get familiar with both
entrances because you'll have to use both in the upcoming battle. Continue
through either entrance and jump over the hole to the temple epicenter to
start the battle.

| COLOSSUS 11 |

WEAK POINTS: Back (once armor is broken off)
REST SPOTS: Torches
The initial start of this battle was pretty funny for me. My brother, who
has never seen the game before says, "that puny little thing is a colossus?"
It's true; this colossus is the smallest in the game and is only maybe twice
or three times the size of you. Then again, don't be fooled by its size. This
colossus carries an attribute that most others so far haven't had: speed.
This little punk will start the fight by charging at you full speed.
When it roars, dodge it and quickly enter one of the crevices where the big
torches lie. There are four torches around the temple, and the crevices in
between them and the wall serve as a hiding/rest spot.
Climb one of the torches and stay on the top. The colossus will charge at the
torch, resuling it the beast getting stunned as well as a stick to fall to
the ground. That stick will be very useful for the fight.
Drop down while the beast is stunned and grab the stick by pressing Circle.
Hurry back up to the top of the torch and press Circle next to it to light
the stick on fire. Luckily, the colossus is afraid of fire, which renders
the beast practically defenseless with the flaming stick in your hand. Drop
down to the ground and start to move towards the colossus. It will back up
in fear, so keep pursuing it with your flaming stick.
Move so that its back is facing the back of the temple. The ledge at the
back of the temple leads down to the entrance of it. Drive the beast back
towards the ledge, but don't get too close. The colossus can still swipe at
you with its claws. Once you drive the colossus back far enough, it will
back up too far and fall off of the ledge to the ground below.
When the colossus fall off of the ledge to the ground below, the bony armor
on its back will shatter, revealing its only weak point (on its back).
Carefully jump down to the ledge, then finally onto the beast's back.
It will start to buck and rear up, giving you practically no time to attack.
Your only way to hurt it is to use very quick stabs, which don't deal much
damage at all.
It will run all the way back to the temple with you still on its back. The
colossus moves very fast, which prevents you from getting an attack off.
Sometimes the colossus will stop for one second, so try to get at least one
stab off before you reach the top of the hill.
When you return to the temple, return to one of the torches. Since its armor
is off, the battle is much easier. Climb to the top of a torch and wait for
the dumb thing to charge at it.
When it hits it and gets stunned, jump onto its back and repeat the same
process again. Of course, this time you will stay in the temple and the
colossus doesn't rear up as much. Keep repeating this process until the
colossus's health is depleted.
Hard Mode
There is nothing new about this colossus in Hard Mode.
More snakey black prescences will flow from the dead body of the colossus.
When you faint and return to the temple, the eleventh idol will be rubble.
Only five more stand as your quest draws nearer to completion.

4.12] Into the Water - Colossus 12 [0412]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is another lengthy journey, but at least the scenery is a bit nicer than
the past few. Head behind the temple again and this time go to the right.
You should find another bridge which is to the right of the other two bridges
that you have been going across numerous times. Head across this new bridge
to enter another large savannah.
You will come across a save altar. Save and pass it to find anothe bridge not
too far away. It is situated between two tall pillars, so you shouldn't have
trouble finding it.
Cross it to enter a forest. Turn to the right immediately after you enter to
exit it to the other side. Follow the mountain wall to the left as it twists
and turns in all different direction. There's a nice waterfall right next to
you, so at least the scenery is more beautiful than rocky ruins and
underground caves.
Follow the mountain path until you reach the side of the waterfall. Climb up
the steps and jump up to the large pillar. Shimmy behind it and drop down on
the platform. Jump into the shimmering water and swim under the arches up
ahead. You will be in a closed area with three structures at the far end. Swim
to one of the platforms to start a very neat battle.

Weak Points: Teeth, chest
Rest Spots: Head
This is a pretty fun battle right here. This is the first time you're
fighting a very large colossus in the water. This is no eel though; this guy
somewhat resembles a gorilla.
The colossus only has one attack. It has two tusk-like protrusions on its
face. When these glow orange, then it will shoot out bolts of electricity.
If you are above the water, then you will get hit. Stay underwater at all
times (well, unless you're out of breath of course) to avoid getting shocked.
If you are in one of the structures scattered in the lake, then take cover.
Your main task right now is to steer the colossus over to one of the three
structures. It is somewhat complicated to do so, though. First off, swim to
its back (remember, press R1 to dive; you swim faster). Of course, to make
things harder, the colossus will swim with you.
Try to swim in the opposite direction and swim under its armpits to cut off
some time and distance. When you reach the back of the beast, climb up the
moss. The monster will start to shake you off, but hold on for dear life. Its
back is almost stair-like, so you can just jump up its back without holding
on and wasting stamina.
Once you reach the head, you will notice three protrustions sticking out of
the top of the colossus' head. The three bony things are on the left, right,
and middle of the head of the creatures.
Hit a bone to have the colossus move in that direction. For instance, use
your sword and whack the middle bone to have it move forwards. So use the
bones to direct the colossus over to one of the structures.
When you are close enough, jump off the creature's head to the top of the
stone structure. The beast will now shoot lightning at you. Hide behind the
circular rock in the middle.
Soon after it attacks you several times, the colossus will stretch its front
legs out of the water and place them on top of the stone structure. Doing
this makes more of its body stick out of the water. Its one and only weak
point on its chest will now be revealed. Jump onto its moss-covered chest
and stab the weak point several times.
You may only get off two or three stabs before its chest submerges again.
When the colossus puts its feet underwater, the structure will most likely
break, leaving only two left. Repeat the entire strategy over again until you
take out the point on the beasts chest. With the colossus's lone weak point
gone, the battle will end.
Hard Mode
There are no new weak points located on the colossus, but the previous weak
points take more hits to be eliminated.

| ALTERNATE STRATEGY |
o--------------------o
Here's an alternate strategy for the 12th Colossus from gonleo: "When
fighting the colossus #12, it takes some time swimming to reach its back and
climb it. So I noticed that its "helmet" has a strange design, and wondered
if our hero could grab and climb it. And indeed, it could be done! So here
goes the strategy:
As soon as the battle begins, swim (underwater in order to avoid damage)
towards the platform that you should be on the top to reach the chest of the
colossus. When you reach it, stay just behind one of the pillars to get cover
from the colossus' attack.
Keeping an eye on the creature, wait when it stops to attack and its head is
close to the stone path that is between the pillar and the colossus. Quickly
run above it, and jump towards the colossus' head, holding R1 to grab it.
If you fail, you will just fall on the water. If you grab it, you only need
to jump twice and you will be over its head; even better, quite close to the
platform.
Recommendations:
1. If the colossus doesn't get close to you, try switching to another pillar
near it. Running and rolling also works sometimes.
2. Careful! As it always happens, it will try to shake you off it. Just keep
holding R1 and you'll be fine.
This is it! I hope it helps many people specially in the Time Attack mode."
- Thanks for the strategy gonleo!
As the hulking colossus plummets to the bottom of the beautiful lake, you are
taken down by the black spirits.

4.13] Serpentine - Colossus 13 [0413]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the unexpected cutscene, you gain control of the young lad again. Exit
the temple again and shine your sword. You will once again have to go west.
Like colossus six and ten, you will have to enter the forest again. Head west
to get to the dark forest and take the second opening like you did to reach
the sixth colossus.
Once you're out in the open again, head to the left to reach a large desert.
If you follow the light, you will spot some stone pillars similar to something
like stonehenge. Ride to the stones and stand in the center to start the next
colossal fight (pun very much intended).

Weak Points: Sacks, sections underneath top/middle/rear flaps
Rest Spots: Back (when upright)
This menacing dragon colossus will erupt out of a sandy dune and begin to
fly around above you. Luckily for you, this battle is very simple for one
reason; the colossus doesn't really attack you at all.
Then again, this battle is most definitely one of my favorites. The battle
will begin with the colossus flying high up in the air. It has three sets of
gas sacks that enable it to fly high up in the sky.
In order to get it down closer to the ground, you will have to pierce the
sacks. Pull out your bow and stay on your horse. Chase after it and aim for
the patch of gas sacks.
Since you're far away, you will basically have to guess where the the arrows
will go. Instead of aiming directly at the sacks and shooting, aim ahead of
them so you can anticipate that when the arrow is shot, the colossus will
meet up with it.
Hit one patch of gas sacks to have them shrivel up. Hit all three of the
sets to have the colossus lower to the ground. Its front wings will lower
and drag in the sand. Mount Agro if you haven't already and give chase to
the serpent. Once you reach the front wings, ride alongside them and jump
off of Agro to grab the ridges on a wing.
The colossus will start to fly higher up, so climb up the wing to its back.
When the beast is upright, you can safely walk around. If a any chance that
the colossus will spin around (it does a lot), then grab the fur-lined back.
The first flap is located right next to your location. Under the flap is its
first weak point. Stab it three times to make it disappear. The flap will
close, so get out of the way.
You can actually run down its back to the second flap before it seals up. If
you're quick enough, get in one stab. The colossus will start to dive down
to the ground.
Once it starts to go into the sand, jump off to the ground to avoid taking
damage. The creature will stay underground for some time, giving you time to
regain lost health and stamina. Once it comes back up, it will have repaired
the gas sacks on its underside.
Yet again, shoot the sacks on the beast to lower it to the ground and get on
the wing. The second and third flap are located farther down its back. You
will only be able to take out one at a time, but if you're quick enough, you
can get a free hit in. Once the third weak point is eliminated, the colossus
goes down once and for all.
Hard Mode
There are no new weak points located on the colossus, but the previous weak
points take more hits to be eliminated.

| ALTERNATE STRATEGY |
o--------------------o
I have a new strategy from Tigress: "The way I defeated this one was to run
towards its head and follow along under its body to get right under its sacs.
Then all I had to do was shoot straight up to get a mostly reliable hit.
I saved the one near its head for last so I would be right behind the wings
when they started dragging in the ground. Then it was merely a game of catch
up and jumping at the right moment to grab on. It's still a tad tricky, but
once you get it down, you'll defeat it rather quickly." - Thanks Tigress!
The serpentine colossus will crash into the sand, this time for good.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.14] Coming to an End - Colossus 14 [0414]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is another long journey, which will require you to go the same way as
you did with the ninth colossus. I'll refresh your memory if you forgot where
to go; I'm nice like that. :)
Turn around and go behind the temple again and ride across the small bridge
to the left. Once in the plains, save at the save altar ahead and head left.
You will find yourself in a barren wasteland. Find the patch of dead trees
and go across the rock walkway here. You will enter in the dried lake with
the geysers in it. Instead of approaching the cave where you found the
colossus, just go straight and you'll come up to another rock walkway.
Cross it and head towards the opening in the mountain wall, which is to the
right. Once in the canyon, go left at the intersection to come across a cliff
path. Ride down it, past the many pillars and enter the deep dark cavern at
the bottom. Here, you'll have to dismount Agro.
Jump into the cave lake and swim across to dry land. Continue moving through
the cavern and you will come across a tunnel, which leads to the lost city. A
cutscene is triggered once you exit the cave.
You will come out on a platform (remember this spot) and go left. Drop down
the ledges to the ground and you should see a large wall ahead. Squeeze
through the crack in the wall to enter a grassy courtyard. Approach the
staircase ahead to trigger the battle!

Weak Points: Back (once armor is broken off)
Rest Spots: None
Just like the eleventh colossus, this guy is pretty puny. They also share
two other qualities. This guy is also very quick and likes to ram you as an
attack. Second, this colossus also has protective armor and needs to be
broken off before you can get to the weak point.
You will spend most of the fight just trying to get off its armor before you
actually take it down. Like I said, its only attack is a charg and ram, so
always stay off of the ground to avoid getting smashed.
What you must do is to get on top of the many vertical pillars in the battle
area. The first one is close to you. First, jump up on the fallen pillar
right next to where you start off.
Walk to the end and jump to the broken wall. Walk across it and grab the
walkway. Hoist yourself to the top and drop down to the wall right below you.
Across from the wall you're standing on is a tall pillar. Jump to it and grab
one of the many ridges on it.
Climb to the top and whip out your bow. If the monster hasn't been following
you, then get its attention by shooting it with an arrow. It will get ready
to ram the pillar, so press R1 to crouch and regain your position. Once the
colossus rams the pillar twice, the pillar will crash to the ground.
You will stay on the crashed pillar once it hits the ground. That now opens
a new path. Once on the column, jump across to the wall and get up. Continue
across the wall to find yet another pillar.
Jump to it and climb up. Once at the top, shoot the colossus with arrows and
get its attention. When it rams the stone pillar twice, it will fall to the
ground. There is a column right next to the one that just fell over. Jump to
it and climb to the top. Get the beast's attention and wait for it the charge
the pillar.
Once this one crashes down to the ground, leap to a wall and get to the next
column ahead. Repeat this process one more time with the next column. There
is one more column to knock down, so get hopping.
Climb up the final walkway and you will come to a large stone structure. Leap
to the ledge and climb up it. When you can no longer go up, shimmey to the
left to find another series of ledges to climb up. Once at the top, hoist
yourself up to the platform jutting out of the side.
From here, look to the left and you should see the last pillar. Make a leap
of faith off of the platform and onto the side of the pillar. Have the
colossus ram it two more times and this time, it will crash through a wall,
which conveniently leads to the front entrance to the lost city.
Remember I told you to take note of the platform at the entrance to this
place? Yeah, well now you must head back there. Jump up the ledges on the
wall and run to the platform.
The colossus may not be following you right now, so whistle repeatedly to get
its attention. Shoot some arrows at it until it rams a support beam under the
platform. It will break, sending the whole platform, as well as you, on top
of the creature.
That platform was the last straw, and now the armor on the beast shatters.
Now your opening for an offensive maneuver is here. Use the rubble as a ledge
to jump on top of the colossus and hold one. This thing will run around and
buck so much, you barely have a chance to get an attack in. Wait for the
colossus to run back to where the battle started.
Once here, get off and jump on one of the many fallen columns. Now the best
way to attack the colossus is to do a more advanced move; the diving stab.
To do this, press Triangle to jump and while in midair, press R1 and Square
to land on the beast and plunge your sword into it. It deals a lot of
damage, so repeat this strategy to finally kill the colossus.
Hard Mode
There are no new weak points located on the colossus, but the previous weak
points take more hits to be eliminated.

Here's some neat info from Ben S. He writes: "I was just using your guide on
GameFAQs (great guide by the way) for help on how to beat the 14th one, the
one like a bull. After it knocked down the very last pillar, the one that
takes it's armour off, I noticed I was able to beat it in a lot easier way
than what you had listed.
First, after you break it's armour off, you should notice two pillars left
like the one it rammed into to break it's armour. Jump on either one and have
it run into to stun itself. After it hits the pillar, the pillar will break
apart, but you'll have a chance to easily jump on it's back.
I was able to get two really strong hits in before itgot up and shook me off.
Then I just went to the other pillar left and got on top of that, had it ram
into it and stun itself again and got two more strong hits off it.
Course I got it's health down a tiny bit by shooting arrows at it for fun,
but I thought you might wanna add the two pillar thing in there since I see
you said just to Dive Stab it. This might be easier for those who can't pull
it off so great. Who knows." - Thanks Ben!
o--------------------o
| ALTERNATE STRATEGY |
o--------------------o
Yep, another strategy from Tigress. Here's what he has: "I used a hybrid of
your and Ben S.'s strategy for this one. If you get on one of the broken
pillars and whistle at it, the dumb thing will headbutt the pillar and knock
itself out. Then you just have to jump on top of it and stab it like normal.
(Dive Stab isn't necessary, since I was able to get one or two good hits
off.) Once it wakes up, you jump off and have just enough time to get on the
pillar again to repeat the process." - Thanks again Tigress!
The colossus will fall down, staying in the lost city for good. The black
tendrils will go after you once again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.15] Desolation - Colossus 15 [0415]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, we're almost done! This is getting intense. Leave the temple and shine
your sword. Once you find the path to go, head northeast behind the temple.
Go across the bridge between two large pillars. Once you cross, head over to
the arched bridge that you crossed in the opening cinema.
Follow the bridge north until you come across a large rock. It lies right next
to the bridge, so you shouldn't miss it. Once you reach that, head right
towards the mountain wall. Ride around the mountain and you should see a large
castle in the distance. First off, save at the save altar, then proceed to
the entrance.
The entrance to this place is a little tricky to find. Proceed towards the
two archways, but don't pass through. You should find a hill near them. Ride
up it and you will see a small opening. Ride Agro through to enter the ruined
castle. Dismount your horse once you get inside.
There is a column blocking your path, so grab the ledge on either wall and
climb up. Walk across past the column and drop down. Go up the stone stairs to
enter a large open area with two bridges above. Walk to the opposite side
towards the cliff to start the battle with the fifteenth colossus.

Weak Points: Head, right arm, right palm
Rest Spots: Shoulders
A hulking giant of a colossus will come right over the cliffside and stand
up in the arena. This guy is equipped with a stone dagger in which it uses
to pummel you. The colossus can also stomp at you with its massive feet.
The trick to this battle is to get onto its head at first. There are many
ledges on the sides of the arena, but they all seem a little too high for you
to jump up and grab. I guess we need this guy to help us out here a bit, hm?
There are two low ledges on each side of the arena, in the middle. Go to one
of them and stand on the raised tiles under it. You can't reach it, so just
whistle or shoot the colossus with arrows to get it to come on over.
Stay on the tiles and wait for the hulking beast to try and stomp on you.
When it raises its foot up, get ready to roll out of the way. When its foot
hits the tile, it will tilt up. Jump on the tilted tile and use it as a boost
to get up to the ledge.
Once up at the ledge, run under the roofed area with the support beams.
Again, get the colossus's attention. This time, it will try to swing its big
daggar at you. When swung, the daggar will hit one of the support beams,
causing some rocks to fall from the ceiling. Use these rocks as stepping
stones and jump to the ridges on the wall. Now climb up to the next story.
Up on the next floor there will be a walkway. The walkway connects to the
two bridges. Walk over to either bridge but don't head to the middle of the
bridge. Shoot arrows at the colossus and it will break the bridge.
If you stood in the middle, you'd fall to the ground and have to start the
whole process over. The creature will start to walk past the broken bridge.
When it is right under you, drop down on its massive head.
As the colossus thrashes about, try to get in some stabs. You will have to
attack the head a lot; the weak point won't go away until you have depleted
well over 3/4 of its health. Once the weak point is gone, retreat to the
shoulders to regain lost stamina.
The next vital point is on the behemoth's right arm. Climb down its furry
back towards the arm. Descend down its arm towards the red glowing weak
point. Hit it once to hurt the creature, making it drop its dagger.
There's only one weak point left now, and its on the colossus's right palm.
You can't get to it by climbing the rest of the way down, so just drop to
the ground. If you want to regain any lost health, just run away from it and
wait before it catches up to you. The main priority here is to make the
colossus expose its palm. Stay near the left side of its body is (near its
right arm) and walk around.
Shoot it with arrows to try to get it to attack; you want it to attack with
its right arm. When it does, dodge its arm and quickly run over to the palm.
Grab onto the fur on the palm and hang on. It will raise its arm with you on
it. Wait for the colossus to stop moving its hand and attack it. One strong
stab is all that's needed to bring the big lug down for good.
Hard Mode
A new weak point is situated on the chest of the colossus. After getting onto
the colossus and eliminating the weak point on its head, climb down to the
chest and attack the weak point. Once it's gone, target the one on the palm
to kill the colossus.

| ALTERNATE STRATEGY |
o--------------------o
Here's an alternate strategy from Jason G: "I just wanted to send this
alternate strategy in for that big hulking bastard, Colossus 15. I tried over
and over to grab the palm hair on its right hand, but for some reason my
timing or placement just wasn't getting it. It was frustrating. But then I
realized that the wrist and hand guard on its hand made a great grip spot.
By running around to the BACK side of its right hand during an open hand
attack, you can jump up and grab the top (now horizontal) ridge on its hand
guard and make your way fairly easily to the wrist band as it raises its arm
up. From there, shimmy your way along the wrist band from the outside of the
hand to the inside, and just drop a couple feet to its palm. Then stabbity
stabbity.
The one big warning is that if you do not grab on HIGH and NEAR THE WRIST, it
will be almost impossible to work your way to the wrist when its hand goes
back up, as you will otherwise dangle from the end of the hand guard ridges
in a vertical orientation, which keeps you from climbing or moving from side
to side.
Your FAQ is awesome, by the way." - Thanks for the strategy Jason G!

Guess what? I've received another tip by REFAN11: "My info is a very easy
method of how to get to colossus 15's palm. I tried your method of getting to
the ground and getting it to attack me with its right hand, but i just
couldn't get the hang of it. I then figured out that it is possible to get
to the palm from the arm. After you get the colossus to drop the weapon get
on the other side of the arm.
From this point all you have to do is drop down and grab onto the next ledge
on it's arm just below you. Then drop down again and again until you get to
the last ledge jut above it' palm. Then just let go of the R1 button and
quickly press it again. You should have grabbed onto the fur on it's palm.
From there just attack it until it dies. Thanks for writing the FAQ, I
couldn't have gotten past a few parts without it." - Thanks a lot REFAN11!
The fifteenth colossus flails its body as the last bit of life is drained
away. You will once again be attacked by the black entity sealed inside the
colossus. Only one idol stands, which means there is only one colossus left.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.16] The End - Colossus 16 [0416]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final colossus is located pretty much on the edge of the world, to the
south. The light from your sword will point to the canyon where you fought
the first colossus, but don't go that way. There is a second canyon to the
left of that in which you must enter.
At the fork, head right to yet another open plain. You must continue on
through the plains towards the large, dark fortress in the horizon. Once you
reach there, save at the save point.
Ride Agro up the steps towards a narrow bridge. Gallop towards it to jump to
it. The bridge will start to collapse, to quickly run over it. Once you reach
the end, a sad cutscene will start.
After the scene, head to the left and jump up on the ridges of the wall. Climb
to the top and jump up the debris. There will be a grassy wall right ahead of
you that you can climb up. So go ahead and climb up the wall until you can
drop down on the high ledge.
Continue up until you reach a dark corridor. Take the set of stairs and you
will see two columns on either side of the entrance. Climb up one of them to
start the final battle.

Weak Points: Back, left bicep, right hand, left shoulder, head
Rest Spots: Back of hands, shoulders
Dayum, that's a lot of weak points! You'll have to wait a bit before you can
take them out though, because it's a chore just to get to the damn colossus!
This monolith of a creature will shoot laser beams at you from a distance.
You must do your best to avoid these and reach the feet of the beast. When
the battle starts, immediately run to the right and duck behind the stone
debris. Wait until the colossus makes a shot.
There is a hole to the right of you. Once it shoots, quickly dash and jump
down the hole. There is an underground tunnel that leads you closer to the
colossus. Pass through and jump up out of the hole at the end. There will be
a series of stone shields that can protect you from the lasers. Quickly run
to the right, diving towards each shield, until you find another bunker.
Proceed through the next bunker to come out far away at the side of the
colossus. Jump up to the rock ledge and shimmey around. Now jump to the
walkway beyond and enter the next bunker carved into the rock wall. Follow
it until it exits at another set of stone shields.
Of course, things must be harder here, and they aren't in a straight line.
Once a shot rings out, quickly run to the right towards the next stone
shield. Keep rolling and running until you reach the last bunker. Move on
through to have it take you right between the feet of the colossus. Here is
where the fun really begins.
Continue straight ahead towards the wall and climb up the ledges. At the
top, head to the right and jump up the ledges. The whole lower body of the
colossus is almost like a staircase. You go up a couple of ledges, climb up
a wall, then go the other way.
It's not hard to get lost and there are a couple of ways to reach the back.
Continue to climb up the ledges and walls until you reach the furry back of
the beast.
Stab the glowing red point once to have the beast rear back in pain. The
colossus will bring its left arm back to the wound. When it's right across
from you, jump to the fur on its palm. The colossus will shake and raise up
its hand.
While it's doing this, try to climb to the back of its hand. When the arm
finally stops moving, run up the arm towards the bicep. There isn't any fur
on the arm, so just make a run for it and jump onto the bicep. Stab the bicep
once to have it move its right hand towards its injury.
Just like last time, jump from the weak point to the palm of its hand and
climb up to the back of the hand. The colossus will not pause and stop
shaking, so quickly stab the back of its hand to stop it.
When the colossus stops moving its hand, stand up and switch to your bow and
arrow. Aim and shoot its left shoulder. The behemoth will grab its shoulder
in pain, giving you the perfect opportunity to jump on.
Head up to the stone platform on its shoulders to replenish your lost
stamina. The final weak point lies on the colossus' head. When you're ready,
jump on the head and continue your assault.
Once you stab it a good nine or ten times, the sixteenth and final colossus
will be no more. Your quest is finally done; you have killed all of the
colossi. How does it feel to have wiped out a dying species? Ya' jerk.
Hard Mode
There are no new weak points located on the colossus, but the previous weak
points take more hits to be eliminated.
The long ass cinema up ahead is totally riddled with spoilers, and I'm not
the guy to even mention it. Enjoy the beautiful and captivating end to a
remarkable game. I hope you enjoyed reading this FAQ as much as you did
playing the game.

From the start of the battle, immediately whistle to get the colossus's
attention. Don't bother trying to shoot it with arrows. Run over to its legs
and jump on the furry calf.
Stab the weak point twice to bring it to its knees. You may have to do this
twice. Afterwards, run over to the colossus's head and grab its beard.
When it gets up, drop off and immediately grab the chest to avoid falling off
of the best. Climb to the head and regain lost stamina. Once on the head, stab

Time Attack - Colossus 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 4:00
Hard: 4:30
Here's another very easy colossus to beat on Time Attack. When the battle
starts, equip your bow and shoot the beast to get its attention. It should
immediately raise its feet in order to stomp the ground.
Quickly shoot the soles of its feet to knock it over. Climb up one of the
front legs and onto its side. I was able to do this in 30 seconds. Crawl to
the tail and begin to attack the marker there.
The colossus won't shake that much, so try dive stabs to deal more damage with
each it. Once the weak point is gone, climb up the spine to reach its head.
Attack the weak point on the colossus's head until it is defeated.
My best time - 3:07:42
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 6:00
Hard: 5:00
The hardest part is to have the colossus hit the stone panel on the ground. I
found an easy way to do this; run towards the colossus.
Immediately run towards the colossus, which should be standing on the stone
panel. It will begin to back up. Continue to draw near until you're on top of
the panel. It'll then attack you; dodge and it will hit the panel.
Once the bracelet is broken, climb up the colossus's arm towards its head.
Attack the weak point on its head until it is gone. Instead of climbing down
to the stomach, simply jump off of the head onto the platform around its
waist. Now climb onto the stomach and attack its weak point until dead.

Here's an alternate strategy for the 3rd Colossus from LuckyRedFox: "I was
reading your guide on SotC time attack, and I happened to notice that your
strategy for defeating the third colossus involved waiting for the colossus
to hit the stone panel in the middle of the platform. However, I have found a
way to get onto it's arm without destroying the armlet (it may or may not be
quicker, but it is definitely easier), so here goes:
Once the loading finishes, skip the movie, and run directly away from the
colossus. It should attack you with it's sword-arm almost right away. Dodge
the attack, and climb onto the arm, making sure not to fall off prematurely.
In it's walking motion, the colossus should move its arm back and forth,
switching between a strong forward motion and a strong backward motion. Stay
relatively close to the colossus' elbow, and when it's arm makes the strong
backwards motion, jump towards the colossus' upper arm.
Due to the extra force of motion of the colossus' arm, your jump should place
you right at or right above the breakable armlet, which allows you to climb
over it and up to the head.
Just make sure that after you make the jump, hold R1 to grab on the colossus'
fur or the top of the armlet, whichever you reach first. From there, proceed
in stabbing it's head and stomach until dead." - Thanks LuckyRedFox!

| ALTERNATE STRATEGY |

Here's an alternate strategy for the 3rd Colossus from Alan G: "Immediately
charge the stone circle but stop about twenty feet before reaching it. There
is a slightly lighter patch of grass in front of and slightly to the left of
the stone circle as you charge it.
If you can see this, you want to be about half-way between the patch and the
circle. If done right, the colossus shouldn't have to re-adjust its footing
before attacking.
Dodge the strike as normal and run up onto its "sword". You need the arm band
intact for the next part of this strategy. If you are lucky, you will be able
to bounce off the sword and onto the armband within the next twenty seconds
or so.
Once there, head to the lowest ring of the armband and wait for it to get
reasonably close to its belt and make your jump. Your first target is the
belly "vitals". It should be safe to charge up your stamina to 75% or even
100% before striking.
Once finished, jump back to the intact armband (should be an easy jump once
again), and make your way to the rear of its arm to make your ascent.
When attacking the head, don't risk charging up past 50%, same for the arm.
Try to get the head done with no more than one rest. The intact necklace
should help you stay on." - Thanks Alan!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 5:30
Hard: 5:00
The fourth colossus can be a real pain in the rear end when it comes to Time
Attack. Whistle at it and run towards the bunker in the far end. Stand on top
of it and shoot arrows to get the colossus's attention.
When it's about to attack, drop down into the bunker and run to the right. Go
up the stairs and hide behind the bunker while looking at the colossus. Wait
for it to bend down (it could take up to 2 minutes for all of this to happen,
don't worry).
As opposed to grabbing its tail like normally, instead run over to its head
and grab the long hairy protrusions. You can successfully climb up them and
reach the head without having to trek across its body. Once on the head,
attack the weak point. If the weak point disappears before the colossus dies,
then drop to the neck and stab it one or two times.
My best time - 4:26:48
o--------------------o
| ALTERNATE STRATEGY |
o--------------------o
Here's an alternate strategy for the 4th Colossus from Alan G: "This battle
has four distinct phases.
Phase 1: getting its slow ass to a bunker.
Use a whistle and a arrow to try to get it to pick up its pace. Run directly
towards the geometric center of the four bunkers. Try to hit its soft tissue
with an arrow in order to get it to turn directly towards you.
The fundamental problem is that it needs to be square on to the bunker before
attempting to attack it. Use your best judgment and run to the top of the
bunker on the left as you now face the colossus. (the one facing the trees,
I think this is the northernmost bunker).
Again, hit the thing with an arrow until it turns, drop down and run through
the tunnel to the right and up the stairs. Go left and wait behind the
bunker. Adjust the camera until you can see it. It should be *slowly*
aligning its position for its attack.
Phase 2: getting on it.
Use your best judgment and make your run. Your target is to wait directly
under the thing. It will signal its attack with three ground-stabs, two light
ones and a heavy one. You may want to jump just before the last one to make
sure you don't lose your balance. Once it finally bends over, charge the
earring, beware of it's jowl (it will knock you down before you grab on).
As quickly as possible climb to its head, (if you're slow you'll waste time
as it shakes...).
Phase 3: slowing it down.
It is impossible to attack its head at this point, don't even try. He'll just
waste all your time shaking. Jump over the necklace and immediately attack
the back of its neck. Two blows should wound him (this is one of the only
colossi that you can appreciably wound... -- not counting the three colossi
that you can de-armor in some way and the one you need to disarm).
It is critically important that you do this now before going after its true
vitals...
Phase 4: finishing it off.
Go after its shoulders in whichever order fate dictates is the easiest, and
then back to the head." - I was always looking for a good strategy for this
guy. Great job and thanks a bunch Alan.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 5:30
Hard: 5:30
While all of the standards for this battle are the same, it is still
surprisingly challenging. Swimming over to the platforms cut off a little
over 30 seconds (remember to hold R1 to dive; you swim faster that way).
Shoot the colossus and jump on its wing when it dives towards you. Make your
way to the closest wing and stab it twice to eliminate it. Try to do it
quickly so you won't have to stop to regain stamina.
You can regain stamina while walking to the other wing. Once both wings are
down, you CAN run down to the tail. A risky, but much quicker strategy is to
stand near its head and jump. The wind will take you off of the colossus, but
you can indeed grab its tail as you fall backwards. If you do, crawl to the
weak point and stab it until the colossus is defeated.
My best time - 3:24:52
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 6
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 3:30
Hard: 6:30
The time limit is very short, so work VERY fast. Jump over the walls and hide
under the large structure. Whistle numerous times and even shoot arrows at
the colossus's legs to get its attention.
As it lowers its head, jump out and grab the beard. Make a beeline for the
head and climb right up the side of the face. Once on top, take out the weak
point on the head. Regain some stamina on its shoulders, then jump right off
of its shoulders.
Make sure to grab the fur on the left side of its back while falling down; if
you miss and fall off of the colossus, just retry. Once on the back, eliminate
the last weak point.
My best time - 3:14:11
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 7
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 12:00
Hard: 8:00
The first stage of this battle is the hardest as it can consume a lot of
time. Either dive or jump to get the colossus's attention. Swim away from it
as it rises to the surface, then latch onto the wet fur on its tail. Hold on
as it swims around. When the colossus resurfaces and you are above water, run
to the first spike.
It's easiest to do a diving stab to take out the spike with one hit. Repeat
the process with the other two spikes. Now as the colossus swims deeper in an
attempt to drown you, let go. Now you'll have to repeat the process of getting
on the best.
This time, run down its whole body towards the head. As it thrashes about,
deliver the final blows to the weak point on the colossus's head. Battle over.
My best time - 7:44:75
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 8
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 8:00
Hard: 7:30
This colossus can be pretty challenging. Walk to the right until you reach
the opening in the wall. Don't walk to the bottom of the arena; jump and grab
the ledges along your way down.
Once close to the bottom, shoot the colossus to make it climb up the wall. Run
the rest of the way down to the bottom of the arena. Shoot two of its legs and
make sure to avoid the poison blast the colossus fires.
As it falls to the ground, jump on its stomach and eliminate the first weak
point. Simply repeat the process over again for the second and last weak
point. The only hard part about this fight is the poison blasts the colossus
fires. I could have beaten this guy in three minutes if it wasn't for me
having to constantly regain health.
My best time - 6:00:41
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 9
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 7:30
Hard: 5:30
The most challenging part of this battle is simply getting onto the colossus.
Quickly mount Agro and shoot the beast with arrows. Avoid the laser beams
that it shoots from its face and run to the nearest geyser.
Lure the colossus over the geyser until it shoots up and hits it. After
getting hit by the geyser and collapsing, shoot the colossus's weak points on
its two feet.
Once it completely lands on its side, climb the fur on its underbelly. As you
reach the back, it will most likely stand upright again. Travel across the
back until you reach the head. You'll have a great time if you can get on the
back in two minutes. Reach the head and take out its only weak point.
My best time - 4:50:53
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 6:00
Hard: 5:00
I found it very easy to get a nice time on this colossus. Right when the
battle starts, the colossus will turn and charge at you. Dash over to Agro
and get on. If you're able to dodge the colossus in time, you'll be in good
hands. As it chases you, turn and shoot its exposed eyes. As it crashes
headfirst into a wall, dismount your horse and run up its furry back.
Eliminate the first weak point by initiating diving stabs. If you're quick,
you can take out the first of its two weak points in less than a minute. When
the first weak point is destroyed and the colossus regains its composure, get
on Agro and repeat the process over again.
Keep its attention on you and don't lose it at any time (look for the moving
sand to find the colossus). Repeat the process over again to take out the last
weak point, which is located farther on its back.
My best time - 2:13:06
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 11
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 5:30
Hard: 5:30
Right after the cinema ends and the battle begins, dash behind the stone
structure before the colossus can ram you off of the temple floor and into
the canyon. If it happens, restart. Don't bother climbing up the statue and
let the colossus ram it until the torch falls. Unequip everything and dive
roll over to the stick. Pick up the torch and go over to the structure.
Climb up and light the torch, then drop down. Scare it with the torch and push
it back to the cliff edge until it falls off. I was able to actually jump off
of the cliff and successfully perform a dive stab right on its weak point. As
the colossus runs and bucks back to the temple, continue to stab it. I was
lucky; I killed the colossus before it even reached the temple.
My best time - 1:29:98
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 12
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 9:30
Hard: 10:00
Another simple Time Attack battle; start the fight with this colossus by
swimming to its back. I found it easiest to dive under and swim under its arm
to save some time. Once on the back, jump up to its head. Guide it towards
one of the structures by hitting its teeth with your sword and jump off when
you're close enough.
Once on a platform, whistle to make it expose its stomach. Jump onto the fur
on the stomach and attack the weak point. You should be able to take out half
of the colossus's health before it destroys the structure and dives
underwater. Let go of the stomach and repeat the process over again. It's
not much different from the normal battle.

| ALTERNATE STRATEGY |
o--------------------o
Here's an alternate strategy for the 12th Colossus from gonleo: "When
fighting the colossus #12, it takes some time swimming to reach its back and
climb it. So I noticed that its "helmet" has a strange design, and wondered
if our hero could grab and climb it. And indeed, it could be done! So here
goes the strategy:
As soon as the battle begins, swim (underwater in order to avoid damage)
towards the platform that you should be on the top to reach the chest of the
colossus. When you reach it, stay just behind one of the pillars to get cover
from the colossus' attack.
Keeping an eye on the creature, wait when it stops to attack and its head is
close to the stone path that is between the pillar and the colossus.
Quickly run above it, and jump towards the colossus' head, holding R1 to grab
it. If you fail, you will just fall on the water. If you grab it, you only
need to jump twice and you will be over its head; even better, quite close to
the platform.
Recommendations:
1. If the colossus doesn't get close to you, try switching to another pillar
near it. Running and rolling also works sometimes.
2. Careful! As it always happens, it will try to shake you off it. Just keep
holding R1 and you'll be fine.
This is it! I hope it helps many people specially in the Time Attack mode."
- Thanks for the strategy gonleo!

Time Attack - Colossus 13
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 12:00
Hard: 13:00
This is easily the hardest colossus to beat in Time Attack mode. Shooting the
gas sacks on its underside is tricky to do. If you're able to take them out
within a minute, then you're golden. Once the colossus dips its wings into
the sand, jump on Agro and ride over to the wings. Jump onto them and climb
onto the back of the colossus.
I found it easiest to actually skip over the first weak point and target (and
hopefully) eliminate the two targets on its middle and rear before it dives
into the sand. The colossus will always dive into the sand after a while;
you're lucky if you're able to take out two weak points.
Once it is in thesand, wait for it to come out again. Once it does, repeat the
process ofshooting the sacks and getting on it again. When you're on its back,
eliminatethe remaining weak points to kill the colossus for good.
My best time - 10:52:11

o--------------------o
Here's an alternate strategy for fighting Colossus #13 in Time Attack Mode.
It's sent in by elfolampo. "Hello. Since you seem to have some problems with
the 13th colossus on time attack, I wanted to contribute with an alternative
strategy.
First of all, immediately after the battle starts, you have a golden chance
to take out at least two of the gas sacks of the colossus, since it's near
enough to hit them with an arrow from where you are (you might want to take 2
steps forward to get closer, anyway).
So, take out your bow and shoot away. If you don't manage to hit two of them,
restart. I actually managed to get all 3 of them, doing so in less than 20
seconds. Then, call Agro and chase the colossus for its remaining gas sack,
if any is (it should be the head one), shoot it, grab a wing as usual, and
get on thecolossus.
Once you're there, take out the head weak point (you can use dive stabs, the
flap will shield you from the wind) and then immediately jump down. This will
cause the gas sacks to regenerate immediately, and the colossus will NOT dive
under the sand.
Also, you will be right under the colossus, so take out your bow again, and
shoot to the gas sacks from where you are. Again, you should be able to take
out two of them with ease (it's above you, and you're on the ground).
Agro should have reached you by then, so mount, shoot at any remaining sack,
grab a wing, and get on the colossus again.
This time, try to take out the 2 remaining weak spots before it dives in the
sand, and you're done with the battle, with no time-consuming dive in the
sand, and minimal mounted archery.
A safer strategy might be to take out the second weak spot, and intentionally
fall off again to shoot the sacks from under the colossus, which is still
faster than letting it dive, but if you're going for a good time, you should
try to finish on the second run.
If it does dive in the sand (which is very likely, sadly), constantly track
it with L1 until it comes out, dismount, and try to shoot at the sacks while
he's not yet flying, then grab Agro, and finish the remaining sacks/weak
points." - Wow, thanks a lot elfolampo!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 14
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 9:00
Hard: 9:00
The battle is completely identical to the battle in the walkthrough. There
aren't really any special tactics to use in order to save time during the
fight. Start the battle by having the colossus knock over all of the pillars.
Once that's over with, lure the colossus to the entrance in order to destroy
the armored plating on its back. You could jump on its back and continue to
stab the weak point on the colossus. A faster way it to jump and initiate a
dive stab on the back to deplete more of its health faster. Repeat several
dive stabs to slay the colossus.
My best time - 8:01:63
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 15
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 11:00
Hard: 11:30
This colossus can be a pain if you waste a lot of time trying to get on it.
Once you lure it over to the raised platform, it should step on it in an
attempt to crush you.
Jump up to the second level of the arena and shoot it with arrows. This part
may take a while if the colossus will not coopearate. I must have wasted a
good 3 minutes shooting arrows and trying to get it to knock some rubble from
the wall (its chest looked like a pin cushion, it was funny).
Once you get it to hit the wall and knock some rocks to the ground, use them
as platforms to reach the final level of the arena and run to the bridge.
Once it destroys the bridge, jump on its head and attack the weak point. Once
it's gone, stab its right arm to make it drop its weapon, then fall to the
ground. Getting it to punch you is also pretty tough. Stay far away and on the
left (near the right side of the colossus's body) and it should punch you
sooner or later. Once it does, dive roll out of the way and jump on its palm,
where you can stab the last weak point to kill the colossus.
My best time - 7:02:39
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack - Colossus 16
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal: 9:30
Hard: 13:00
The final colossus is still tough, and the time limit is tricky. In order to
get to the colossus, keep running (dive rolling is better actually) until you
reach the bunker. Never stop, even if you're being shot at, and try to dive
roll into a bunker or behind a wall.
Once you reach the colossus (it took me a little over 2 minutes), the rest is
the same. Climb up to the lower back and stab it to make the colossus grab its
back in agony. Jump to its hand and climb to the back of its hand.
When it pulls its hand back to the front, run up the forearm and grab the fur
on the colossus's bicep. Attack the weak spot on the bicep. When the colossus
moves its other hand, jump on it and stab the marker on the back of its hand.
Equip your bow and start to shoot its shoulder. When the colossus grabs its
shoulder, jump on it and make your way across its upper body. When you reach
the head, continue to stab the weak point on the head with your sword to
finally defeat the colossus.
My best time - 8:09:33
o--------------------o
| ALTERNATE STRATEGY |
o--------------------o
Here's an alternate strategy for the final Colossus from Alan G: "Use the
fallen column as a block, as usual, jump in the hole.
Follow the tunnel and climb out to reach the first barricade (should be about
20 seconds). Wait for the impact and then make your run. As you approach the
second barricade DO NOT SLOW DOWN. The next shot is almost sure not to injure
you. Instead turn left, straight south, as you pass the second barricade. (if
you hesitate, you die)
You should see a hole in the ground directly in front of you. Dodge roll into
it. The only thing that matters is that you end up in the hole. It does not
matter if you get hit or not. Once you regain your feet, go due west (to the
right), you should find yourself in the pit behind the second row of
barricades. Proceed as normal.
When I reached the head, I had time to get thrown twice, once to the right
arm-pad and once even to the lower levels of the skirt and still had time to
beat the time attack. =P" - Thanks a lot Alan!
