Shadow of the Colossus Hints
How do I reach the forehead?
1 of 7: There's no fur on this colossus's legs, so there must be another way up. Run around for a while and see if you can find a way up.
2 of 7: Eventually, Dormin will give you a hint: its armor looks brittle. How can you break its armor?
3 of 7: You can't break its armor with any of *your* weapons.
4 of 7: Some of the armor will break if the colossus hits something really hard with its weapon.
5 of 7: Lure the colossus into attacking you while you're on the disc at the center of this arena. (Dodging is optional, but strongly recommended.)
6 of 7: Now that part of the armor is broken, there's a clear path to climb up the arm to the forehead.
7 of 7: Wait until the colossus attacks with his weapon, then jump onto the arm and start climbing.
