I think my big mistake was being to zealous and not running away. I'd get him on his back and strike him on his stomach and then I'd just want to keep cutting him until he flipped over and killed me.

One hit per sequence is the strategy with this one.

Eight Colossus is dead!!!!!!!!!!!

He was awful! Awful! By far the hardest one I've encountered. I found him so difficult that I actually took a break from the game and came back later. I even resorted to not only Gamefaqs, but youtube videos showing how to kill the damn thing. Of course in the video people were able to kill him in under 10 minutes. It took me 40 minutes!! But he's dead. Thank god. Now I can move on. Finally.

Very nice, which one are you on now? I never remember the number order but once I see them I remember how to kill them :lol:

Shoot me a PM if you get stuck again :wink:

the 8th was the jerk in the Colosseum that climbed the walls.

Now I'm on the one with the geysers spraying.

The one that looks kind of like a turtle and shoots blasts at you? That guy is a royal pain in the ass. Just get him to stand on the exact opening of a geyser and he will tip over so you can climb on his back. Flank him with the horse so you don't get killed too quickly by the blasts.

9th Colossus is dead! Took me an hour and a half to beat this sonofabitch, though admittedly it was probably an hour and twenty-nine minutes to get on him, and about a minute to kill him. Wow. I totally realized what I had to do almost immediately, but I found it really hard to successful convince him to hover right above a geyser. The strange thing is that the whole 90 minutes was spent on a single battle. Unlike the 8th Colossus who killed me a bunch of times in our 40 minutes together. I hope the 10th Colossus is a little easier than the last two. This is getting time consuming!

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.

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.

He attacks you when you don't have a torch! Have no sympathy!

Actually... There's one that I do regret killing because... well you'll see.
