Shadow of the Colossus Hints
How the heck do I fight this thing?
1 of 3: Use your sword to find the colossus's "vital point", a vulnerable place on its body. You'll feel your controller jerk a bit when you've focused the light on a vital point.
2 of 3: There's a really big vital point on top of its forehead. So get on up there!
3 of 3: Once you get up to the vital point, stab it with your sword, the same way you stabbed the first weak spot on the colossus's leg. Stab it enough times, and it will die.
