Shadow of the Colossus Hints

How do I jump and climb on the fur?

  • There's no way to give a hint explaining how to do this.  I can, at least, explain the controls.

    Press Triangle to jump towards the fur, then press R1 to hang on.  If at first you don't succeed, just keep trying; there's no special trick to make this easier.

    Once you're hanging on with R1, your Stamina meter will start to decrease.  (That's the pink circle in the lower right hand corner of the display.)  Once you run out of Stamina, you'll be forced to let go; your Stamina will recover rapidly while you're not hanging on with R1.
