Shadow of the Colossus

[Hansel]

Wow, interesting...

Been playing it guys, its a cool game.

Only one snag about it I feel, the camera is a bit of a pain, everything else is great though.

I have killed the first 2 so far, both slightly different kills.

PS. Is it me or do these Colossus just dont seem to try and kill you even though they have weapons. I just see myself going full pelt at him to try and take the son of a gun to the ground and he just takes it all in like Rocky Balboa. Only difference is Rocky comes back for the kill.

 

[Hansel]

I've got a question, can you switch between easy/medium/hard etc..?

 

[Fab]

No it doesnt seem like it. I just clicked new game and it took me straight in.

And dont worry about them not hitting you like I said before, the 3rd one is a toughy.

 

[Hansel]

Oh ok thanks, I was worried there for a while when I saw your post, I was pissed actually..

 

[greeny]

Is this game fun to play over agan after you've completed it?
And how long does it take to get to the next boss?

I have not finished it yet but I was reading up on the game and aparentley there are secrect to be unlocked after you have finished it something about a secret garden and different wepons.As for the bosses thet are quite straight forward to find some can be a little tricky but it's just a matter of point you'r sword and follow the direction the light beams in.

one of the best colossuses I have had to fight so far is the flying one you'r in the middle of a massive lake with only a few stepping stones.

Try not to ruin it for people

As Zyg said, don't ruin it ya ass..

Spoilers removed.

I've completed the game on normal and hard modes and tried the time challenges but they are quite tricky so I'll need to rethink the strategies. For example you get about 2 minutes to kill the first colossus.

I think it's 16 im stuck on the 7 or 8 can't quite remember the one where you have to lure it out to hot water bursting out the earth but I keep getting killed there is no where to hide and it's fireballs allways hit any ideas anyone?

 

[Hansel]

Greeny, I will help you, but to all others the text below in orange is a spoiler.

Get the Collosi to stand directly above the water thingy, and when the water starts to burst he will stand on 2 legs, when he does that shot his feet, both of them, the rest is pretty easy to figure out.


And I noticed a cool thing(I don't think it's a spoiler), in the temple were that girl (Goda?) lies, you can grab on to the birds that fly and fly for a while, this is how you do it:

When you see that the birds are by the girl, run towards them..
Now quickly jump and press R1, hold it now you should be flying.

PS. Don't y'all think the game is to easy?
It's like all you have to do is figure out how to get to it's weakpoint, and then just kill it, it doesn't really put up a fight..

I am up to this one now, got it Saturday and I am right into it. Had a quick look at it and turned it off, havn't read poffemans Spoiler though.

 

[Hansel]

Remember the only thing that's a spoiler is the text in orange.

Yeah I know Poffe it was the only thing I didn't read. Thought I wouldnt like this game but so far its really got me hooked. So far the 3rd one has taken me the longest to kill. I went back to him later on in the game to see if the remains were still there and if you stand on them and press circle you can go into reminiscence mode. Anyone done this and whats the point?

 

[Fab]

Never done this, might check it out later.

So you go back and like see a replay of when you faught him? or do you fight him again?

 

[Hansel]

Yeah it's just so you can fight them again, it's pretty cool.


EDIT: Fabulous, you fight them again.

 

[Disco Pants]

I wouldn't mind fighting the 1st one again as I would kill him in about 30seconds lol

 

[Zygalski]

Once you complete the game, it's well worth playing again on hard mode as it is a bit tougher. The weak points change a bit (I think) and it's easier to get killed.
