Shadow of the Colossus Hints
How do I climb up from the colossus's right hand?
1 of 8: Try to make the colossus stop wriggling its hand so much.
2 of 8: How do you make a colossus do anything?
3 of 8: Stab the colossus in the hand. The colossus will stabilize its hand and you'll have a chance to take a breather. Can you see where to go from here?
4 of 8: This next part requires a bit of clever guesswork.
5 of 8: You need to find another weak spot. It's not on the arms or the hands.
6 of 8: Look for exposed furry areas while you're standing on the stabilized right hand.
7 of 8: The colossus's left collar bone is unarmored. Can you hit that?
8 of 8: Shoot the colossus in the left collar bone with your bow. The colossus will cover its wound with its right hand, allowing you to jump onto the colossus's shoulder and climb up to the forehead.
