Shadow of the Colossus

[Jsb01]

(SPOILER)The horse dies because it falls down some cliff, oh but it comes back to life in the end, magic.

Edit by Kishi: Mark your spoilers, jerk.

Geez man... Cover up the spoilers, will you? :rolleyes2

(SPOILER)He didn't die when he fell off the cliff. The fall simply didn't kill him, that's all.

yeah that would make more sence

[Dreddz]

Thank god I knew that before you spoiled. Seriously, spoilers piss me off.

[Jsb01]

I didn't know it...

[Necronopticous]

(SPOILER)I didn't expect Argo to die from the fall anyway, considering swords, arrows, javelins, and explosions simply bounce off of him and upset him.

..Shadow of the Colossus is a pretty good game. I like it really much. Right now I'm at the last one...and man it's freaking hard! I'm angry that I can't beat it.

[FallenAngel411]

You can hitch rides on hawks???

Where have I been the last four times I beat this game.....

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

You can cling to fish and let them pull you around, too, but they're only found in one area.

[FallenAngel411]

Whoa....ok SO gotta try when I get back home.

The last colossus....my first time I fell off of his hand repeatedly for about two hours, left the game running for eight while I went to classes, then came back and spent another hour repeatedly scaling him and falling off his hand/back/arm/head until I finally perservered. You can do it. The trick is not to go insane. Good times.

[Yew-Yevon]

...........U let your PS2 run for 10 hours? Are you insaine!?! U trying to destroy it befor its time?!?!?

anyway congrats on beating the game...I still trying to get the invisible cloak

Getting on that insanely long bridge? How do you do that? Or this secret garden thing for that matter..

BTW, I just defeated the second Colossus, so if you cant get there yet, no spoilers please

Also, when do the Ico references appear? I bought Ico as well, but I havent gotten far with it

Getting on that insanely long bridge? How do you do that? Or this secret garden thing for that matter..

Go behind the temple and look for a wall covered in moss. If you have enough stamina (which increases every time you kill a colossus or eat a white-tailed lizard), you can climb up until you reach a route of ledges and more mossgrown walls that eventually lands you beside the bridge where Wander originally entered the temple. (There's a glitch of sorts available here in that jumping diagonally up a wall doesn't actually consume any stamina, but there are places along the route where you can't exploit this and are required to spend some.)

From the temple entrance, you can set out across the long bridge, which takes about ten minutes to traverse since it spans about half the game's map and you have to go it on foot. Or, you can go up a staircase leading to the so-called secret garden, which contains some things of interest.

Also, when do the Ico references appear? I bought Ico as well, but I havent gotten far with it

• The shadowy beings that threaten Wander in the game's opening and stand around him each time he returns to the temple after killing a colossus are the same as the Queen's minions who plague Ico and Yorda throughout ICO.
• Completing the time attack for every colossus in Hard Mode will earn you the "Queen's Sword" item.
• There is a beach near colossus #10 that is practically identical to the beach from ICO's ending.
• If you have ICO save data on your memory card, Argo will have the "I" from ICO's logo instead of a diamond on his forehead.
• The game's ending.

Thanks, i'll try that soon

I dont play this game often, as I dont really want it to be over so soon. I spent the first few hours of the game exploring, and the first colossus, really had my heart pounding..this is defintely the coolest game ive ever played..

Also, I havent noticed the "I" on Agro's head...the Ico and SoTC files are on the same card..xD, I guess ive been busy with the scenery..

I noticed the shadows though...

When I first played it, I thought the dead girl would be Yorda, until I saw her face that is

Just a note. The diagonal jump not using stamina glitch was taken out of the PAL version, as was the ledge that you could rest on half way up.

If you've got the PAL version your going to have to get to your 3rd play through (Your grip gauge needs to go of the screen, past the bottom right had corner.) and get pretty much every white tailed lizard on the map, if you want to get to the top.

[Reine]

Oh smurf...

I wanted to get up there..

I was wondering why that glitch wasnt working

[Crehan89]

Shadow... and ICO should sit proudly on any gamers shelf, like it does on mine, i also have the original edition of Ico including the art cards which came with it, like they do in shadow, it was the same material casing. I like games which have smart cases!!
