great progress 
Re: Playing Shadow Of The Colossus for the first time
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.noiseredux wrote:10th Colossus is dead! (The Sandworm). Took me a little while to figure out how to kill him. At first I thought I had to stay on rocks or something. 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.

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.

WTF
Re: Playing Shadow Of The Colossus for the first time
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 killnoiseredux wrote:11th Colossus is dead. This one was different than the others... when you show him fire he backs away from you in fear. It actually made me feel kind of bad killing him.

Re: Playing Shadow Of The Colossus for the first time
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.Croooow! wrote:I'm surprised you had this reaction as this guy took me forever to kill and kept pissing me off.

Re: Playing Shadow Of The Colossus for the first time
#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!

Re: Playing Shadow Of The Colossus for the first time
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.
