![]() Time to tempt the bugger over another geyser…Īnd the emotional roller coaster starts again. He comes galloping up to you and you jump into the saddle. Luckily your health bar was long enough to handle the fall. You tumble over the ledge and fall ungracefully face first onto the ground way beneath his head. Phew that was close, but now your stamina is really low… Another shake… That got him! A couple more stabs and your stamina is a bit low, so you let go to look for a safe(ish) spot to recharge, and there is a convenient ledge down by his cheek, it’s close and looks like a good place to hide for a bit, so you make the run, but he shakes and you roll a bit, very close to the ledge… Then you manage to get to his weak spot, which in this case is his head and stab your sword into it! Having done all this, you traverse his back with your sword drawn so as to find his weak spot (all the while he is trying to shake you off), stumbling and tripping as he moves. The mad dash complete (after rolling under his armpit!) you climb madly over his hairy belly towards his back, for when he stands up. Some pumping, epic sounding orchestral music begins and you make a mad dash around to his belly where there is some hair for you to climb up, but you have to do it while he is struggling to get back upright again. Once that has started, the real fun begins! #9 was like this for me, I had to draw him out, tempt him to stand over a geyser in the ground, avoid getting killed while he tried to stomp/shoot me and then get underneath him to shoot arrows at the weak spot in his feet when the geyser blew and pushed him off balance. More often than not, half the battle is working out how to get on them. The colossus, being somewhat large are hard to kill and you need to find their weak spots, which usually involves the need to climb up them and running over them. Once you have found the colossus in question the fun begins! The cool things is, these guys are generally HUGE! I recently knocked off number 9 and it was an incredible fight! My friend who just played against the first and second one had the same rush as I got as well, which surprised me as I didn’t think this would be up his alley. ![]() So you follow the light and need to work your way around obstacles from there. Yet the game isn’t boring, the world is beautiful to roam around, and a lot of the time you will find it a bit tricky to actually find the colossus you are after as you only have a magic sword that points in the direction. Then you need to take it down, so in essence, the only baddies are the bosses. You explore the region finding each colossus and when you get to its area, it will show itself. There are no small baddies to kill in this game. Luckily this game works on the gameplay, which is unusual in itself. That is about all the story I have gotten so far. Apparently some god type chap at the alter has the power to to it, but it requests that you go to the effort of destroying the 16 colossi in the area before it will revive her. The game has you playing a nameless guy (mistakenly called ‘Wander’) as he tries to revive some girl at an alter. Hence this game makes into my great gaming moments section. As he played, I saw him go through the same feelings that I had. A mate dropped by and I showed him this game and he was mightily impressed. I whipped out my PS2 recently to check on something in Okami, and while I had it set up, I thought I would play this game.
