The Third Colossus
Hello!
As promised, I'm posting on the third Colossus from "Shadow of the Colossus". This one, as you can see below, is different from the previous ones. It is taller and slimmer, as well as equipped with a pillar of stone that resembles a sword and also has stone armor.
With this one, things get more complicated, since there is no visble vital point due to the armor. The way you are supposed to defeat this Colossus is to get it to slam its massive pillar onto a circular patch of cement or something similar. This causes the strong looking armor to break and fall of, making it easier to latch onto the Colossus. I however, didn't think of this and instead shot arrows at its stomach, enraging it and allowing me to climb its weapon, rest on its armor, and attack its vital points, the first in the head, the second and last in its stomach.
Finally, I'm going to rate this fight, each category being from 1-10 where 1 is 'piece of cake'and 10 is 'nearly impossible'.
