Shadow of the Colossus

[yester]

Hi.
I know, this game is kinda old, but i finally get onto it and so far i love it.
Right now i am busy with Colossy 5 and darn its a hard fight.
Always once i am on it and hang for awhile, my strengh just dissapears and i fall of without even hitting the weak spot.
I did so far 10 attempts and i had to stop since it was getting anoying. Any suggetions with this colossy?

Which colossus is five?

Which colossus is five?
Same thing I want to know :lol:

The trick is to find a place on each colossus where you don't have to hold on, even if for just a few seconds, to regain your strength (i.e. walk along the back of a colossus while you can).

And also, which colossus is Colossy 5?

[zewone]

It's the bird.

You have to hold on to his fur when it's flying upside down or sideways.

You can walk on it when it's flying straight.

Do it just like this;

dont forget t build up your strength but killing lizzards with sliver tails and collecting what they drop. theyre all over the place same as the fruit so take the time to collect them both to up your stats.

[zewone]

It's not necessary to build up your strength.

The amount you gain is not worth the effort.

[depascal22]

I agree with zewone. Just go through the game normally and you'll be fine.

[Ice2Dragon]

Lmao. this game was in Reign Over Me. Only reason I know what it is..

are you saying that because you found alot of lizards and in the end you felt like there wasnt much of a diff in strength or because you only found a few lizzards? me personally i found a shitload of lizards and fruit in the game and it made a huge difference for me. i dont see how you could beat many of the colossi without upping your strength.

[metaly]

Hahah, I love how he just drops from one wing to the other. Crazy Japanese.

I second that you shouldn't go out of your way with the lizards. I didn't even know about them on my first playthrough and I was fine. Your HP and stamina increase naturally, anyway.

You're a "CAG Veteran" and the only reason you know of Shadow of the Colossus, a game that shook the industry, is because of some Adam Sandler flop?

[amicus]

i didn't even know you could level up ur stats....but i loved the game anyways.

Wow, he did that really fast.

Watching that video makes me want to play the game again. Easily one of the best games ever made IMO.

[yester]

i am just curious. is there any evident info, if we will see another game of such quality with the ps3?
that would be reason for me to get one.
still i was not having time to continue the game, but over the holiday i will.

Rumors of a sequel have surfaced. If they're true, I too, will be buying a PS3.

[thelonepig]

The same designer is working on a PS3 title, but I have yet to hear much about it.

I killed one lizard the entire game and had no problem beating it. Maybe you should get more skills. :lol:

The game isn't about strength but about finesse and strategy. I would've actually felt cheated if the game was easier. I liked that I had to think and plot my way to the end instead of just stabbing a beast twice and watching the cutscene.

hey ive got skill dammit :bomb: . but for me it made sense to take the time to up my stats so i could kill the colossi in one or 2 turns especially since some of the kill spots took time to get to or to locate. besides i played the game on hard . hard difficulty i mean. and the angry face is in jest i know im the shit when it comes to gaming lol.

[zewone]

You know that each colossi you kill ups your strength and health quite a bit, right?

seriously i never noticed i did notice the diff when i ate fruit and killed lizzards. guess it doesnt matter so long as i enjoyed the game and beat it which i did still need to go back and get the bonus items though sometime.

[Agrippan]

Wow. Just beat this game, and it was pretty incredible.

While games like Mass Effect and Uncharted have done a great job of raising the bar to make games more like movies, SotC was refreshing in providing an experience that is really only possibly with video games.
