Despite Dormin's warning that doing so may come at a great cost to him, Wander agrees.Įvery time a Colossus is killed, black tendrils emerge from its corpse and enter Wander, causing him to fall unconscious: he awakens in the Shrine of Worship just as the respective Colossus's idol shatters. Dormin agrees to do so, on the condition that Wander destroys the sixteen idols within the shrine: to do, he must kill the idol's respective Colossus, all of which are scattered across the land. Arriving at the Shrine of Worship in the center of the land, Wander encounters the mysterious entity Dormin, asking for it to return Mono's soul to her body. While trespassing on this land is forbidden by his people, a young man named Wander journeys to the realm with his horse, Agro, in hopes of reviving a maiden named Mono, who was sacrificed for "having a cursed fate". All the while, the Colossus will be trying to shake off Wander, making it hard for him to stay on, let alone stab the weak point.Īccording to legend, there exists a land which holds the power to resurrect the dead. A fall from high distances will damage Wander, which will eventually lead to his death. This is made difficult by the limitations on grip, so the player must often find some level ground or platform on the Colossus to rest & regenerate his grip. Once on the colossus, players climb & jump their way to the weak point. Other times, the player may hide in a small cave, causing the colossus to try and find you, possibly giving you a point of access. It may be as simple as waiting for the Colossus to strike with its club, so that the player may climb the weapon. The player must often manipulate the movement and actions of the Colossus in order to reveal suitable climbing point. But not every part of their body has a grip. Some walk on two feet, some gallop on four, some fly. It is up to the player to find this new weak point to continue killing the Colossus.Įach Colossus is different. After a few stabs, the mark will disappear and move elsewhere. The weak point can be found by shining the magic sword until it points to it. When Wander finds a Colossus, he must find its weak point, find a way to access it, and then stab it until it dies. Wander fighting against the third Colossus Battling Colossi The player can expand their stamina by collecting the tails of certain lizards. If this meter is run down, he cannot perform actions until the meter refills. There is a pink circle meter which displays Wander's stamina, which is tied to his grip strength and ability to swim underwater. Some can be killed, but are not considered "enemies." There is also the occasional wildlife, such as turtles, lizards, and hawks. Riding on horseback makes traveling faster, but Agro cannot climb or swim. The terrain can vary, with long draw distances. To locate the next Colossus, the player must raise their sword in the sunlight: the light from the sword will focus into a single beam when it faces the direction of the next Colossus. After defeating each Colossus, the player will be transported back to the Shrine of Worship, located in the center of the map, where Dormin gives a riddle describing the next Colossus to face. Shadow of the Colossus is a game that consists entirely of boss fights.
