3 of 8: From there, you can start crawling down the colossus's weapon arm towards the second vital point on the palm.
4 of 8: You can't reach the palm initially. You'll have to do something first. Can you guess what?
5 of 8: You'll have to stab the colossus in a glowing vital point.
6 of 8: There's a glowing vital point right above its elbow. Stab it.
7 of 8: Once you've stabbed the weak spot and the colossus has thrown away its weapon, you can climb down the arm to the palm.
8 of 8: You may find you need to rappel down the arm by briefly releasing R1. Otherwise, you'll run out of grip before you have time to stab it. You may also need to manually adjust your camera angle so that you can see what you're doing.
