You still have a bunch to beat, fret not.

Yea the gorilla was a little bit of a pain in the ass the firs time I killed him.

just beat #6 (the bearded one). Super easy actually. I had a tougher time finding him than killing him.

I just beat the 7th Colossus (the electric eel). And with that, I am officially calling Shadow Of The Colossus one of my favorite games of all time. To think I spent so many years saying "I'll play it someday," almost entirely based on the notion that there was NO WAY it could be as good as everyone makes it out to be. This game is insane. It elicits a genuine reaction from me. I was actually SCARED when I realized there was something in the water with me. And what a battle! I honestly am just floored by the very experience of this creation.

Just wait, it gets even more crazy

the 8th Colossus is the first that I've actually walked away from mid-battle. I actually know what to do, but can't quite do it. He's the one that looks like a big anteater that climbs the Colosseum walls. Anyway, I'm just not fast enough. He keeps electrocuting me. Fucking jerk.

You need to hide between the cracks on the higher level of the building and take him out from the sides with the bow. When he falls you have to take the big jump all the way to the bottom so you make it in time to strike him. You may lose a little health but that is the only way to get there before he flips over.

I was shooting him from like the 2nd or 3rd floor up. He climbs so fucking fast man. I was getting killed pretty quick. I'll give it a go tomorrow or something. I needed a break from that bastard.

You need to make him climb all the way up to the top level right in front of you, then shoot his feet out from the sides. He takes a big fall and lands stunned on his back. You have to move very quickly to have just enough time to strike him one time before running away up the stairs to repeat the process.
