Once I figured out how to get him to stick his face out so I could shoot his eye and then get on him, he was really super easy to kill.
Personally this one took me the longest. Amusingly, I thought the rocks on the ground were significant so I kept trying to get him to eat them.

I didn't read this whole thread, but, am i the only one that felt really sad every time i killed one of these massive creatures? heh

Loved the game. First time i gave up on the second one. About a year later i finished it in like 2 sittings. Kinda want to play it again now. Or ICO... i gave up on that pretty quickly and never tried it again.

I'm surprised you had this reaction as this guy took me forever to kill and kept pissing me off. I remember him being the first one I had a lot of trouble with and the first one I was glad to kill :? .

the only one I can say I was really just glad to kill was the fucking Colosseum one that shoots electric gas at you. Fuck that thing.

#12 is dead! I don't know if I'd say he was the hardest one, but he took me the longest (an hour and forty-five minutes!) to beat. First of all I should say that he literally scared me. I have a real fear of drowning "IRL" as they say. So the two fights that have taken place in water have really freaked me out. Anyway, this fight was insane. The cut-scene where he reveals himself just had me in awe. But then I died a half dozen times because he'd just shoot me so fast. Eventually I figured I was going to have to cheat and peek at GameFAQs, which told me how get him to duck down enough so that I could jump on his face. Then I died another half dozen times attempting that before I discovered you could actually just swim around to his back to climb up on his head. Once there I was mostly puzzled again and had to ultimately resort to youtube videos to figure out the rest. It was a great battle and I loved this ones' design, though I'm honestly not sure how anyone was able to figure this one out without a bit of help!

13th Colossus is dead... and it made me feel like shit. This was the giant flying sandworm. It was this huge graceful creature. It never once tried to attack me. So I just felt like a hunter killing this impressive beast that did nothing to me.
