Shadow of the Colossus Hints
How do I grab on to the colossus?
1 of 7: If you hit the colossus in a certain weak spot, it will stop for a while, allowing you to climb up and stab the vital point. Look for small glowing spots.
2 of 7: You'll use a trick that works well in other games like this, but hasn't had much use in this game so far.
3 of 7: You have to shoot the colossus in the eye.
4 of 7: To do that, you'll have to ride your horse at full speed while aiming your bow at the colossus.
5 of 7: If you hold down X, your horse will gallop at full speed and keep running when it approaches walls.
6 of 7: While holding X, switch to your bow, and hold Square to target your attack.
7 of 7: While holding X and Square, tap L1 to point at the colossus as it pops its head out of the sand. Then aim at one eye and shoot.
